SCANNER OPERATION

The Scan Pattern Mode Select Button
There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the MS3780.

• The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the scanner starts. By default, the primary scan pattern is set to all-scan-lines for omnidirectional reading.
• Pressing the scan pattern mode button (see figure below) activates the secondary scan pattern mode. By default, the secondary scan pattern is set to single-line mode for menu reading.

Please refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for information on changing the default scan pattern settings.

To Change Scan Pattern Modes

1. To activate the secondary scan pattern, press and release the mode select button
   Press and Release the Mode Select Button
   Pattern Mode LED Switches to New Active Pattern Activating a pattern mode when the scanner is out of its stand does not change the in-stand pattern mode. When the scanner is returned to the stand it will automatically revert to the most recent scan pattern selected during in-stand operation

2. To re-activate the primary scan pattern, press and release the mode select button again

How to Use CodeGate and the Manual Activation Mode
For illustration purposes the unit’s scan pattern has been set to single-line (menu reading) mode.

CODEGATE

1. Auto trigger (IR) activates the laser.
2. Place the laser line on the bar code.
3. Press the button to transmit the data.

MANUAL ACTIVATION MODE

1. Aim the scanner at the bar code.
2. Press and hold the button down to scan and transmit the bar code.

This feature is not a default setting. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for instructions on enabling the Manual Activation Mode.

Factory Defaults: In-Stand, CodeGate is not active (Amber LED is On) Out- of-Stand, CodeGate is active (Amber LED is Off) For information on how to change the factory defaults, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).

Audible Indicators
When the MS3780 is in operation, it can provide 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). For instruction 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 white LED will flash, one blue LED will turn on and the scanner will emit a beep (the white LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan. When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner will emit one beep (if configured to do so). If the scanner does not emit one beep and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 17.

Three Beeps – during operation
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white and blue LEDs will flash while the scanner emits three beeps. The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits the configuration mode. Upon exiting the configuration mode, the scanner will emit three beeps and the white LED will stop flashing. When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode. When using one-code- programming, the scanner will emit three beeps: the current selected tone, followed by a short pause then a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the single code configuration has successfully configured the scanner

Three Beeps – on power up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 17.

Visual Indicators
There are four LEDs located on the top of the MS3780. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

No LEDs
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when all lasers are turned off for any reason.

Steady Blue Single-Line LED
Indicates the laser is active and the scanner is in Single-Line Mode. The blue LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

Steady Blue Omni LED
Indicates the laser is active and the scanner is in the Omnidirectionsl Mode. The blue LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

Steady Blue Single-Line or Omni LED and a Single White LED Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the white LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady White and Blue Single-Line or Omni LED
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.

Alternate Flashing of Both Blue LEDs and the White LED
This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.

Steady Amber LED
Indicates that CodeGate is not active (in-stand default).

Failure Mode Indicators

Both Blue LEDs Flashing with One Emitted Razzberry Tone
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit to a Metrologic authorized service center for repair.

Both Blue LEDs and the White LED are Flashing with Two Emitted Razzberry Tones
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit to a Metrologic authorized service center for repair.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off – On Power Up
A continuous razzberry tone upon power up indicates there has been an electronic failure. Return the unit to a Metrologic authorized service center for repair.

Three Beeps – On Power Up
This indicates that the nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit to a Metrologic authorized service center for repair.

Every interface does not support every parameter. If the interface supports a parameter listed in the charts on the following pages, a check mark will appear in the column for that interface.

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. Each MS3780, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can be upgraded. In other words, all RS232 (-41), keyboard wedge (-47), light pen (-41), OCIA (-9), IBM 468X/469X (-11), low speed USB (-38), and integrated full speed USB (-40) units can be upgraded.

To upgrade all units, a power supply and PowerLink cable (MLPN 54-54014) are required. RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable (MLPN 53-53xxx-3).  The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user must first select the file. Once the file is selected and verified, the scanner is ready to be upgraded. Press the “Flash Scanner” button to upgrade the scanner. The unit will go into a “flash mode” – both the blue and white LEDs will be on. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not upgrade properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

Scanner Pinout Connections
The MS3780 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular socket. The serial

label indicates the interface enabled when the scanner is shipped from the

factory.
