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. Aim the scanner at the bar code.  
2. Pull and hold down the trigger to  
turn on the laser, scan, and transmit  
the bar code.  
3. The scanner will beep and flash the  
white LED once to indicate a  
successful scan and transmission.  
Figure 19.  
Maintenance  
Smudges and dirt on the unit's window can interfere with the unit's performance.  
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no  
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-  
abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.  
If the unit's case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not  
contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or  
damage the unit's exterior.  
17  
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, 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 blue LED will turn on, the white  
LED will flash, and the scanner will beep once. The scanner is ready to scan.  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and  
the scanner will beep once.  
Three Beeps  
During Operation  
When entering the configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the  
scanner simultaneously beeps three times.  
When exiting the configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and  
the white LED will stop blinking.  
Three beeps can also indicate a communication timeout during normal  
scanning mode if the scanner is configured to give this indication.  
During Start-up  
This is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure Modes” on page 20.  
Three Beeps  
When using the single-code-configuration method, the scanner will sound a  
3-combination tone (a single beep then a short pause followed by, a high tone,  
and a low tone). This beep sequence signals that the single configuration bar  
code has successfully configured the scanner.  
Razzberry Tone  
This tone indicates a type of failure. Refer to “Failure Modes" on page 20.  
When in configuration mode, a short razzberry tone will sound if an invalid bar  
code is scanned.  
18  
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.  
Steady Yellow  
The scanner is in automatic scanning mode.  
Steady Blue  
When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain  
illuminated until the laser is deactivated (default mode only).  
Steady Blue and Single White Flash  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and  
the scanner will beep once.  
After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host  
device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the  
scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to  
accept the information, the scanner's white LED will remain on until the  
data can be transmitted.  
Alternating Flashing of Blue and White  
During Operation  
This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode.  
19  
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 3 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. Try to reconfigure the scanner. If the scanner does not respond after  
reconfiguring, return the scanner for repair to an authorized service center.  
20  
CONFIGURATION MODES  
The MS9590 series scanners have three modes of configuration.  
Bar Codes  
The scanner can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the  
MetroSelect® Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544).  
MetroSet®2  
MetroSet2 is a user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows  
you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This software  
ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO.  
Serial Configuration  
Serial Configuration mode is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives  
the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of  
the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of  
the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide  
(MLPN 00-02544).  
21  
UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE  
The MS9590 and the MS9591 are part of Metrologic'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 Metrologic's  
‹‹  
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. This cable can be ordered from Metrologic at

Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those  
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances  
should the customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look  
at the laser beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the  
scanner in an attempt to look into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser  
light exposure. The use of optical instruments with the laser equipment will increase  
eye hazard.  
Atención  
La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos  
de los especificados aquí, pueden provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna  
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni  
intentar mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco  
deberá abrir el escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una  
exposición peligrosa a la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo  
láser puede incrementar el riesgo para la vista.  
Attention  
L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut  
entraîner de graves irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir  
lui-même le scanner ou le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser,  
même si vous croyez que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour  
regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous vous exposez à une rayonnement laser qú  
êst hazardous. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le  
risque d'endommagement de la vision.  
Achtung  
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder  
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter  
keinen Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie  
niemals in den Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist.  
Öffnen Sie niemals den Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun,  
können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer  
Geräte mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.  
Attenzione  
L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli  
descritti nel presente Manuale può provocare delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose.  
Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser.  
Non guardate mai il raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo.  
Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete  
esporVi ad una esposizione laser rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati  
con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
