SCANNER OPERATION Default Modes of Operation There are two default modes of operation available with the MS9590 series. 1. In-Stand, Automatic Activation Mode • The laser is activated upon object detection in the IR activation area. • Bar code data is automatically decoded and transmitted. 2. Out-of-Stand, Manual Activation Mode • The trigger (CodeGate) activates the laser. • Bar code data is scanned and transmitted while the trigger is held down. Scanning with the Manual Activation Mode 1.
INDICATORS Audible During operation, the scanner provides audible feedback that indicates the status of the scanner and latest scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six 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 blue LED will turn on, the white LED will flash, and the scanner will beep once. The scanner is ready to scan.
INDICATORS Visual Each MS9590 series scanner has three LED indicators (blue, white, and yellow) located on the head of the scanner. When the scanner is in operation, the flashing, or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scanner and the current scan. Figure 20. LED Configuration All LEDs are Off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. The scanner is in manual activation mode.
INDICATORS Failure Modes One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up This indicates the scanner has experienced a flipper/motor failure. Return the scanner for repair to an authorized service center. Three Beeps – On Power Up If the scanner beeps three times on power up, verify the host and scanner are set to the same communication protocol. If the host and the scanner's communication protocol match, then, the non-volatile memory (NovRAM) that holds the scanner's configuration may have failed.
CONFIGURATION MODES The MS9590 series scanners have three modes of configuration. • Bar Codes Configure the 9590 by scanning the bar codes included in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide shipped with the scanner. This manual is available for downloaded at www.honeywellaidc.com. • MetroSet2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This program is available for downloaded at www.honeywellaidc.com.
UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE The MS9590 and the MS9591 are part of Honeywell’s line of scanners with flash upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires a new firmware file supplied to the customer by a customer service representative and MetroSet2 software. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an available RS232 serial or USB port is also required to complete the upgrade. PowerLink Cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the upgrade process.

APPLICATIONS AND PROTOCOLS The model number on each scanner includes the scanner number and the default communication protocol for the scanner.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a customer service representative to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptoms Possible Causes Solution All Interfaces The unit has no LEDs, beep, or laser. At power up, the unit beeps 3 times. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code being scanned does not satisfy the configured criteria for character length lock or minimum length. Solution Verify that the bar code being scanned falls into the configured criteria. The scanner defaults to a minimum of 3 character bar code. The following item is only relevant for RS232 and Serial Emulation USB interfaces.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The next four items are only relevant for a Keyboard Wedge interface. 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 intercharacter 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.
