SCANNER OPERATION  
Two Default Modes of Operation*  
Multi-Trigger, Out of Stand  
1. The IR detects an object in the IR  
activation range and automatically  
turns on linear illumination.  
2. Aim the scanner’s line of light  
over the bar code.  
3. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning.  
The scanner’s light output will start to  
flash as it attempts to scan the  
bar code.  
If the trigger is released the  
scanner will stop trying to  
scan.  
4. When scanner successfully reads the  
bar code it will beep once, the white  
LED will flash and the decoded data  
will be transmitted to the host.  
Figure 14. Multi-Trigger, Out-of-Stand  
Presentation, In-Stand  
1. The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and the scanner’s  
light output automatically starts to flash as it attempts to scan the bar  
code.  
2. The scanner continuously attempts to scan the bar code until either it  
succeeds or the bar code is removed from the scanner’s field of view.  
3. When scanner successfully reads the bar code it will beep once, the  
white LED will flash and the decoded data will be transmitted to the  
host.  
* For additional configurable modes of operation, please refer to the Area  
Imaging Bar Code Supplemental Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02281).

SCANNER OPERATION  
Audible Indicators  
When the MS1690 series scanner is in operation, the scanner 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 Single-Line Configuration Guide,  
MLPN 00-02544 or MetroSet2’s help files.  
One Beep  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the  
white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.  
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then  
the bar code has not been successfully read.  
Short Razzberry Tone  
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 18).  
Long Razzberry Tone  
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 18).  
Three Beeps - At Power Up  
When the scanner first receives power it will start an initialization sequence.  
All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will light for approximately two seconds then  
start to alternately flash. When the scanner has finished initializing the LEDs  
will stop flashing and the unit will beep three times indicating that the scanner  
is ready for use.  
Three Beeps - Configuration Mode  
When entering configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner  
simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to  
flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will  
beep three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.  
When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout  
during normal scanning mode.  
When using single-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times:  
a normal tone followed by a short pause, a high tone and then a low tone.  
This indicates that the single configuration bar code has successfully  
configured the scanner.

SCANNER OPERATION  
Visual Indicators  
The MS1690 series scanner has three LED indicators  
(yellow, white and blue) located on the top 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.  
No LEDs are Illuminated  
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not  
receiving power from the host or transformer.  
Figure 15.  
The scanner is in stand-by mode. Present a bar code to  
the scanner and the blue LED will turn on when the IR  
detects the object.  
Steady Yellow  
The yellow LED is illuminated when the scanner is in the stand.  
Steady Blue  
The blue LED is illuminated when the scanner is active and linear illumination  
is on or when the scanner is attempting to decode a bar code.  
Steady Blue and Single White Flash  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the  
white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.  
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then  
the bar code has not been successfully read.  
Steady White  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the  
white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.  
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  
This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. A short razzberry tone  
indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode.  
Flashing Blue  
The blue LED will flash if the trigger is pressed while the scanner is in the  
in-stand presentation mode. The blue LED will stop flashing after a brief  
period of time.

The MS1690 series has three modes of configuration.  
Bar Codes  
The MS1690 series can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in  
the Metrologic Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544). This  
manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website  
(www.metrologic.com).

simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This program can be  
set-up disks can be ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO.  
Serial Configuration  
This mode of configuration 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).

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE  
The MS1690 Focus series is 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  
1-800-ID-METRO. Do not use the standard cable supplied with  
keyboard wedge or RS485S scanner interface kits. If using USB for the  
upgrade process, the standard USB Type A cable provided with the  
scanner can be used.  
To upgrade the firmware in the MS1690 series scanner:  
1. Plug the scanner into a serial communication port on the host system.  
2. Start the MetroSet2 software.  
3. Click on the plus sign (+) next to POS Scanners to expand the supported  
scanner list.  
4. Choose the MS1690 Focus from the list.  
5. Click on the Configure Focus/1690 Scanner button.  
6. Choose Flash Utility from the options list located on the left side of the  
screen.  
7. Click on the Open File button in the Flash Utility window.  
8. Locate and open the flash upgrade file supplied by Metrologic.  
9. Select the COM port that the scanner is connected to on the host system.  
10. Verify the settings listed in the Flash Utility window.  
11. Click on the Flash Scanner button to begin the flash upgrade.  
12. A message will appear on the screen when the upgrade is complete.  
Metrologic's customer service department can be reached at

LED  
Class 1 LED Product: IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2,  
EN 60825-1:1994+A1+A2  
Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein  
may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer  
attempt to service the LED scanner. Never attempt to look at the LED 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 radiation exposure. The use of optical instruments  
with the LED 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 exposición de luz brillante peligrosa. Bajo ninguna  
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del LED (Diodo Emisor de Luz) del  
lector. Ni intentar mirar al haz del LED incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá  
abrir el lector para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a  
la luz del LED. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo LED 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  
la LED. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon LED, 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 un risque d’irradiation. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement à LED augmente le  
risque d'endommagement de la vision.  
Achtung  
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder  
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Licht emittierender Dioden strahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde  
sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den Licht emittierender Dioden-Scanner selbst zu  
warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den Licht emittierender Diodenstrahl, 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 Licht emittierender  
Diodenstrahlung 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 rischiose esposizioni radiattive. Il cliente non deve  
assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner LED (o diodo emettitore di luce). Non  
guardate mai il raggio LED (d. emettitore di luce), anche se credete che lo scanner non sia  
attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l'apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi  
ad una radiazione rischiosa. L'uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi LED (d. emettitori  
di luce), aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
