INSTALLATION EAS Deactivation SW1 and SW2 are the switch banks inside the Checkpoint Device that set the deactivation range. The following is a list of Checkpoint recommended switch bank settings. Checkpoint Recommended Switch Bank Settings SW1 & SW2 switch 5 set to ON All OrbitCG models are equipped with EAS capabilities. OrbitCG’s optional EAS cable is equipped with additional wires for connection to a Checkpoint Device. Figure 14.
SCANNER OPERATION POWER SAVE MODES The OrbitCG has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) for additional information on Power Save Modes. 1. The Blink Power Save Mode blinks the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use. When the scanner recognizes a bar code, the scanner will exit the blink power save mode. 2. The Laser Off Power Save Mode turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use.
SCANNER OPERATION Primary and Secondary Scan Pattern Modes There are two scan pattern modes available with the MS7180. • 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 top of the scanner. This mode is also referred to as the button mode. For additional information on OrbitCG’s button modes and an example of each, please refer to Button Functions below.
SCANNER OPERATION Configurable Button Functions SECONDARY SCAN PATTERN BUTTON CLICK MODE WITH CODEGATE ENABLED 1. The primary (omni) scan pattern is active when the scanner starts. 2. To activate the secondary (single-line) scan pattern, press and release the button. 3. To decode and transmit the bar code, press and release* the button. The scanner will beep once. 4.
SCANNER OPERATION Configurable Button Functions SECONDARY SCAN PATTERN BUTTON CLICK MODE WITH CODEGATE DISABLED 16 1. The primary (omni) scan pattern is active when the scanner starts. 2. To activate the secondary (single-line) scan pattern, press and release the button. 3. The unit will beep once as it decodes and transmits the bar code. 4.
SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators When the MS7180 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). One Beep When the scanner first receives power the blue and white LED will toggle on and off.
SCANNER OPERATION Visual Indicators The MS7180 is equipped with a blue and a white LED that indicates the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation. Figure 16. LED Location No LEDs The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Blue When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain on until the laser is deactivated. During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and off.
SCANNER OPERATION Failure Mode Indicators Flashing Blue with One Razzberry Tone This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair. Synchronized Flashing of Blue and White with Two Razzberry Tones This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

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 42. 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 once and the blue LED flashes. There is a VLD failure. Contact a Metrologic service representative.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces The unit is trying to scan a particular symbology that is not enabled. The unit powers up but does not scan and/or beep. The scanner has been configured for a character length lock, or a minimum length and bar code being scanned does not satisfy the configured criteria. UPC/EAN, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces Scanner beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology. The print quality of the bar code is suspect. The type of printer and/or the printer settings could be the problem. The aspect ratio of the bar code is out of tolerance. Check the print mode or change the printer settings. For example, change to econo mode or high speed. The bar code may have been printed incorrectly.
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 inter character delay needs to be added to the transmitted output. Check that the scanner and the host are configured for the same interface. Add some inter-character 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 MS7180 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 21.
