INTRODUCTION ® Metrologic's Cubit Series of compact omnidirectional bar code scanners includes the MS6520 for retail applications and the IS6520 for OEM applications.
SCANNER AND ACCESSORIES BASIC KIT COMPONENTS Part No. Description ® IS6520/MS6520 Cubit Omnidirectional Scanning Engine 00-02421 Installation and User’s Guide* 00-02407 MetroSelect Configuration Guide* ® *Available for download on Metrologic’s website, www.metrologic.com. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Part No. Description AC to DC Power Transformer – Regulated 5.2VDC @ 650 mA output.
INSTALLATION RS232, Light Pen (IS6520-41/MS6520-41) 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on Cubit. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the PowerLink cable to the host device. Note: Skip to step 6 if receiving power from the host device. 4. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
INSTALLATION Keyboard Wedge (IS6520-47/MS6520-47) 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on Cubit. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host device. 4. Connect the “Y” end of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the host device. If necessary use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner to make the proper connections. 5.
INSTALLATION Stand Alone Keyboard (IS6520-47/MS6520-47) 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on Cubit. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard port on the host device. 4. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
DISCONNECTING THE POWERLINK CABLES FROM THE SCANNER Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that the power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected from the PowerLink cable. o& p q n 1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the back of the scanner. 2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above. 3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’. 4. You will here a faint ‘click’.
SCANNER PARTS A. Speaker Serves as an audible indicator. B. Green & Red LEDs C B A During normal operation, the green LED is on. This indicates that the laser is on and the unit is ready to scan. On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will turn on. After communication to the host is complete, the red LED will turn off. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators. C. Output Window Laser light emits form this aperture. D D.

AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the IS6520/MS6520 scanner is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407). One Beep When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
FAILURE MODES Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Flashing Green and Red and Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure.
VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on IS6520/MS6520. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary, activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No Red or Green LED The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
PROGRAMMING MODES The IS6520/MS6520 Cubit has 3 modes of programming. Bar Codes: Cubit can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407). Please refer to this guide for instructions. This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). ® MetroSet : This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
PROGRAMMING MODES (CONTINUED) 6. To enter serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx]. 7. To exit serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] and a long beep. 8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively.
PROGRAMMING MODES (CONTINUED) EXAMPLE #3: The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the baud rate to 19200.
LABELS Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit that lists the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following is an example of the label: MAINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the scanner window.
