INTRODUCTION ® The Voyager MS9500 Series single-line hand-held scanners include both the MS9520 and MS9540. ® ® The VoyagerCG MS9540 features Metrologic’s patented CodeGate technology. CodeGate is an intuitive scanning system that is ideal for all scanning applications, including menu-scanning, point-of-sale, document processing, and inventory control. CodeGate works hand-in-hand with Metrologic’s patented automatic-triggering scheme.

ASSEMBLING THE STAND There are two options for assembling the stand. The first option is a selfsupporting stand that can be moved freely about on the countertop. The second option is used if the stand will be bolted or hard-mounted to the countertop. Stand Option 1: Self-Supported Stand Kit #46-46128 Apron Step 1 Slide the apron (MLPN 50-50440) over the stand (MLPN 36-00454). Stand Figure 17. Step 2 Apron Position the stand so that it sits under the tab on the apron.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND Stand Option 2: Hard-Mount Kits #46-46128, #46-46351 and MS951 Stand Replacements Anchor from Kit #46-46128 Base Assembly from Kit #46-46351 or MS951 Stand Base Step 3 Screw the stand anchor (MLPN 50-50449) onto the base assembly until it sits flush. Figure 21. Step 4 Remove the logo plate on the stand by gently using an exacto knife to release the plate hook. Figure 22. Step 5 Position the stand over the base assembly. Figure 23. Step 6 Figure 24.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND Wall Mount, Option 1: For Kit #46-46433 or #46-46508 Step 1 Drill two #39 pilot holes 3.00” apart. Step 2 Attach the Wall Mount Hanger to the wall with the two #8 wood screws provided. Figure 26. Wall Mount, Option 2: Kit #46-46508 Step 1 Attach the Wall Mount Base to the Wall Mount Hanger with the two 4.8 x 13 mm self-tapping screws. Step 2 Remove one side of the protective backing from the double-sided adhesive tape. Figure 27.
SCANNER PARTS Yellow LED* Red LED** CodeGate Button* Green LED** MS9500 Top View Output Window Cable Connection MS9500 Side View * This feature is not available on the MS9520. ** In some custom units the standard green LED has been replaced with a blue LED and the red LED has been replaced with a white LED. Figure 29.
AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the Voyager 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 beeper tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help files. 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.
VISUAL INDICATORS The MS9540 has three LED indicators (green, red and yellow) located on the head of the scanner. The MS9520 has two LED indicators (green* and red*) located on the head 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. Green*, Red* & Yellow (MS9540’s Only) LEDs are off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
FAILURE MODES Flashing Green* and one Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center. Flashing Red* and Green* with Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a scanning mechanism failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center.
PROGRAMMING MODES The MS9500 Voyager has 3 modes of programming. ¾ Bar Codes Voyager or Voyager CG can be configured by scanning the bar codes ® located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 0002544). Please refer to this guide for instructions. This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). ¾ MetroSet 2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
PROGRAMMING MODES 4. During programming, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL PROGRAM MODE. 5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over. 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] followed by 3 beeps. 8.
PROGRAMMING MODES 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.
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 software. It requires the use of a personal computer running under Windows 95 or greater and the use of a communication port. The user merely connects the scanner to a communications port of the PC, launches the MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.
LABELS Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit. This label has the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following is an example of this label: EVITER TOUTE EXPOSITION-Lumiere laser emis par cette overture AVOID EXPOSURE –Laser light is emitted from this aperture Patent Information-See Manual FCC and ICES-003 Information-See Manual Warranty VOID if case opened. Contains no user serviceable components. Complies with 21CFR 1040.10 & 1040.

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. Symptoms Possible Causes Solution All Interfaces No power is being supplied to the unit. Check the transformer, the outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the unit. No power is being supplied to the unit from host. Some host systems cannot supply enough current to power Voyager.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code being scanned does not satisfy the programmed criteria for character length lock or minimum length. The unit scans a bar code, but locks up after the first scan and the red* LED stays on. The unit is configured to support some form of host handshaking but is not receiving the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit scans but the data is not correct. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Make sure that the proper PC type AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify the correct country code and data format is selected. Adjust the inter-character delay symptom. The unit is transmitting each character twice. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Increase the interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted.
RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are working. This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the COM port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.

DEFAULT SETTINGS Many functions of the scanner can be “configured” or enabled/disabled. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions. All default parameters of the scanner have an asterisk ( * ) marked in the default column. If an asterisk is not in the default column then the default setting is off or disabled. Every interface does not support every parameter. A check mark (9) will appear in the interface column if it supports the parameter listed.
