INSTALLATION RS232, RS232 TTL, Light Pen or Laser Emulation 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3580. 3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the PowerLink cable to 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.
INSTALLATION IBM 46xx or OCIA 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3580. 3. Connect the other end of the MVC cable to the host device. 4. Turn on the host device. Figure 9. When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously emit a beep and flash the white LED. Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC.
INSTALLATION Keyboard Wedge 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3580. 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 PC. If necessary use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner for proper connections. 5. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
INSTALLATION Stand-Alone Keyboard 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3580. 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. The outlet must be located near the equipment and be easily accessible. 5.
INSTALLATION Full Speed or Low Speed USB 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS3580. 3. Plug the other end of the USB interface cable into the host device’s USB port. 4. Turn on the host device. Figure 12. When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the scanner will simultaneously emit a beep and flash the white LED. As a default, the MS3580-38 leaves the factory with USB Keyboard Emulation Mode enabled.
SCANNER OPERATION Configurable Primary and Secondary Scan Pattern Modes There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the MS3580. • The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the scanner starts. • The secondary scan pattern mode is activated by pressing the button located on the side of the scanner. This mode is also referred to as the button mode.
SCANNER OPERATION Configurable Button Functions SECONDARY SCAN PATTERN BUTTON CLICK MODE WITH CODEGATE ENABLED For illustration purposes the unit’s primary scan pattern has been set to all scan lines (omnidirectional reading) and the secondary pattern has been set to single-line (menu reading) with a 5 second button click timeout configured. 14 1. The primary scan pattern is active when the scanner starts. 2. To activate the secondary scan pattern, press and release the button. 3.

SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators When the MS3580 is in operation, it provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).
SCANNER OPERATION Visual Indicators The QuantumT is equipped with a blue and white LED that indicates the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation. Figure 13. Speaker Location and LED Location No LEDs The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when the laser is turned off for any reason. Steady Blue When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated.
SCANNER OPERATION Failure Mode Indicators Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair. Flashing Blue and White and Two Razzberry Tones This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

SCANNER OPERATION IR Activation Range* QuantumT‘s default power save mode† is Laser OFF. This power save mode turns the laser off after a configured period of non-use. Any movement detected by the IR in the activation area will cause the scanner to exit power save mode. The laser will automatically turn back on preparing the scanner for bar code recognition, decoding and transmission. Normal Figure 18. Normal IR Activation Range Reduced Figure 19.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-METRO or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms on page 46. Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces The unit has no LEDs, beeper or motor spin. No power is being supplied to the scanner. Check the transformer, outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the scanner. The unit has no LEDs and / or beeper.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution The unit scans a bar code, but locks up after the first scan (the white LED stays on). The scanner is configured to support some form of host handshaking but is not receiving the signal. If the scanner is setup to support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF or D/E, verify that the host cable and host are supporting the handshaking properly. The unit scans but the data transmitted to the host is incorrect.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces During power up the unit beeps 3 times. There is a non-volatile RAM failure. Contact a Metrologic service representative. During power up the unit razzes continuously. There is a RAM or ROM failure. Contact a Metrologic service representative. During power up the unit razzes once and the blue LED flashes. There is a VLD failure. Contact a Metrologic service representative.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution RS232 Only The host is The scanner and host receiving data may not be configured but the data does for the same interface. not look correct. Characters are being dropped. The intercharacter delay needs to be added to the transmitted output. Check that the scanner and the host are configured for the same interface. Add some intercharacter delay to the transmitted output by using the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407).

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of firmware. It requires the use of a personal computer running Windows 95 or greater and the use of a serial port. The user merely connects the scanner to a serial port on the PC, launches the MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.
SCANNER AND CABLE TERMINATIONS Scanner Pinout Connections The MS3580 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular socket. The serial # label indicates the interface enabled when the scanner is shipped from the factory. Figure 20.
