Introduction Orbit™ is an aggressive, omnidirectional laser bar code scanner. Light-weight and rugged, Orbit is small in size, but BIG in performance. Designed for applications where counter space is limited, Orbit is the ideal presentation scanner for retail, convenience, liquor and specialty stores. In addition, Orbit’s unique, contoured shape allows it to be picked-up and used as a hand-held scanner when scanning large or bulky items.
Scanner and Accessories The following is a list of the parts included in the MS7100 kit. ! MS7100 Hand-Held Laser Scanner - Refer to page 26 for available communication protocols ! Power Transformer AC in 120V, 220V- 240V Continental European or 220V- 240V UK. DC in regulates 5.2V@650mA (MLPN45593/45591/45592) ! MLPN 2408 User’s and Installation Guide Access MetroSelect Programming Guide MLPN 2407 on the web http://www.metrologic.
Quick Start 1.) Plug in the scanner. When the MS7100 is ready to scan, the red LED will turn on, then the green LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. (the green LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). 2.) The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed with default settings.
Operational Test Metrologic recommends using the external power supply provided with the scanner when operating the MS7100. When using power supplied by the host, the host system should supply a minimum of 250 mA of current @ 5VDC. Keyboard Wedge Scanners: 1. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the scanner jack. Connect the other end of the PowerLink Y-type cable to the PC.
Scanner Installation: Powered by External Power Supply To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Make the necessary PowerLink cable connections to the scanner and the host. 3. Connect the external transformer into the power jack on the Power Link cable. 4.
Scanner Installation: Powered by Host Device The MS7100 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular jack. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack then connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the host. Refer to Appendix C page 33 for pin assignments. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Make the necessary PowerLink cable connections to the scanner and the host. 3. Turn on the host system. NOTE: a. When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will turn on.
Scanner Installation to the PC for the Scanner with Built-in PC Keyboard Wedge Interface To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950. 1. The MS7100 Keyboard Wedge scanner interface terminates to a 10-pin modular jack. Connect the 10-pin modular plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack.
Scanner Parts Green and Red LEDs: When the red LED is on, this indicates that the laser is on. When the green LED flashes on, the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the green light turns off, communication to the host is complete. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators. Refer to pages 9-11 for details. ú Orbit Face: þ Tilts 30o vertically for variable positioning of the scan pattern. Output Window: Laser light emits from this aperture.
Audible Indicators When the MS7100 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 Programming Guide MLPN 2407. One Beep * When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will turn on, then the green LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. (The green LED will remain on for the duration of the beep.
Failure Modes Flashing Red 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 Red and Green 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 are a red LED and a green LED on the head of the Orbit MS7100. 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 Red When the laser is active, the red LED is illuminated. The red LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
Labels Each scanner has labels on the bottom of the unit. One label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, serial number and notes that the device is a Class IIa laser product. The other label states the device is an LASERKLASSE 1 product.

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.
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 36. All Interfaces MS7100 Series Troubleshooting Guide SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION No LEDs, beep or motor spin No power is being supplied to the scanner Check transformer, outlet and power strip.
SYMPTOM The unit powers up properly, lasers come on, but the unit does not scan and does not beep when a bar code is presented POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Beeper disabled. No tone selected Enable beeper. Select tone Scanning a particular symbology that is not enabled UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default.
SYMPTOM Scanner beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION The print quality of the bar code is suspect Check print mode. The type of printer could be the problem. Change print settings. For example change to econo mode or high speed The aspect ratio of the bar code is out of tolerance Check print mode. The type of printer could be the problem. Change print settings.
Keyboard Wedge Only SYMPTOM The unit scans the bar code but there is no data POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Configuration is not correct Make sure the scanner is configured for the appropriate mode. Check internal jumper SYMPTOM The unit scans but the data is not correct POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Configuration is not correct Make sure that the proper PC type AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify correct country code and data formatting are selected.
RS-232 only SYMPTOM Power-up OK and scans OK but does not communicate properly to the host POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Com port at the host is not working or configured properly Check to make sure that the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the communica-tion port match and the program is looking for “RS-232" data Cable not connected to the proper com port Check to make sure that the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the communica-tion port match and the program is looking for “RS-232" data
RS-232 Demonstration Program If an RS-232 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 demon-strates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.
