INTRODUCTION The MS1690 Focus is a high performance hand-held area imaging bar code scanner that utilizes high-resolution CMOS imaging sensors for superior image quality. Focus utilized Omniplanar, Inc.’s Swiftdecoder™ software, for reliable decoding of both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. Sharp images can be captured and transmitted in a variety of outputs including: .jpg, .bmp, and .tiff.

INTRODUCTION Scanner Components Figure 1.
INTRODUCTION THE POWERLINK CABLE CONNECTING Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully ‘latched’ the unit can power intermittently. Figure 2. Figure 3. DISCONNECTING 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. Figure 4. Releasing the PowerLink Cable 1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the handle of the unit near the cable. 2.
INTRODUCTION Labels Each scanner has a label located on the underside of the head. This label provides the unit’s model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following figure gives an example of the label and its location. Figure 5. Label Samples and Location Maintenance Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 6 1.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM RS232 MS1690-14 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 Focus. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector of the communication cable to the proper COM port of the host device. 4. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Keyboard Wedge MS1690-47 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 male end of the PowerLink cable into 10-pin socket on the Focus. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host device. 4. Connect the “Y” ends of the communication cable to the keyboard and keyboard port on the host device. If necessary use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner for proper connections. 5.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Stand Alone Keyboard MS1690-47 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the Focus.

SCANNER OPERATION TWO DEFAULT MODES OF OPERATION* CodeGate, Out of Stand 1. The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and automatically turns on linear illumination. 2. Aim the scanner’s line of light over the bar code. 3. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning. The scanner’s light output will start to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code. If the trigger is released the scanner will stop trying to scan. 4.
SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators When the Focus 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 Single-Line Configuration Guide, MLPN 00-02544 or MetroSet2’s help files. One Beep When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.
SCANNER OPERATION Visual Indicators The MS1690 has three LED indicators (yellow, white and blue) located on the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No LEDs are Illuminated The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. The scanner is in stand-by mode.
SCANNER OPERATION Failure Modes Long Razzberry Tone – During Power Up Failed to initialize or configure the scanner. If the scanner does not respond after reprogramming, return the scanner for repair. Short Razzberry Tone – During Scanning An Invalid bar code has been scanned when in configuration mode or the trigger has been pulled too fast.

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. All Interfaces MS1690 Series Troubleshooting Guide Symptoms Possible Causes Solution No power is being supplied to the scanner. Check transformer, outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the scanner. No power is being supplied to the scanner from the host.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit powers The beeper is up, but does not disabled and no tone beep when bar is selected. code is scanned. Enable the beeper and select a tone. The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code symbology trying to be scanned is not enabled. UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, Codabar and PDF are enabled by default. Verify that the type of bar code being read has been selected.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms The unit beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology. The unit scans the bar code but there is no data. The unit scans but the data is not correct. Possible Causes Solution The print quality of the bar code is suspect. Check print mode. The type of printer could be the problem. Change print settings (i.e. change to econo mode or high speed). The aspect ratio of the bar code is out of tolerance. Check print mode.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit is transmitting each character twice. The configuration is not set correctly. Increase interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted. It may be necessary to try this in both settings. Alpha characters show as lower case. The computer is in Caps Lock mode. Enable Caps Lock detect setting of the scanner to detect if the PC is operating in Caps Lock. Everything works except for a couple of characters.

CONFIGURATION MODES The MS1690 Focus Series has three modes of configuration. • Bar Codes The MS1690 can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in the Metrologic Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544). This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). • MetroSet2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
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 MS1690-14, RS232 The MS1690 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin, RJ45 Female Socket. The serial # label indicates the interface enabled when the scanner is shipped from the factory.
