1 Introduction The MS6720 is the first laser bar code scanner truly to bridge the gap between omnidirectional fixed projection and hand-held scanners. It incorporates fixed projection performance and our patented 20-line scan pattern into a comfortable, ergonomic styling of our popular hand-helds. With this design, Metrologic has engineered a scann[...]

2 Scanner and Accessories The following is a list of the parts included in the MS6720 kit. ! MS6720 Hand-Held Laser Scanner - Refer to page 27 for available communication protocols ! Stand (MLPN 45967) - Refer to page 8 for available kits ! Optional Power Transformer 120V or 220V or 240V (AC in) 5V (DC out) @300mA regulated (MLPN 46010/46009/46008)[...]

3 Quick Start 1.) Plug in the scanner. Both LEDs come on together along with the beep-the green LED only flashes. 2.) The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed with default settings. To configure the MS6720 scanner to meet the host system’s specific needs, refer to the Programming Guide (MLPN 2186) for instructions on how to enter the pr[...]

4 Operational Test If the scanner is to receive power from an external power supply, test the scanner before it is connected to the host system. Keyboard Wedge Scanners: 1. Plug one end of the coil cable into the keyboard connector on the PC. Then plug the keyboard connector into the other end of the coil cable. Plug in the external transformer. 2.[...]

8 The MS6720 Stand The stand for the MS6720 is ergonomic and application friendly. The mounting was designed to provide an adequate distance for scanning between the scanner face and the counter top at all times. When fully tilted, the face of the scanner remains a full five inches from the counter. The stand comes preassembled so it can be attache[...]

Green and Red LED 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, communica- tion to the host is complete. The green LED blinks while the scanner is waking up from an IR sensor timeout. The LED’s are also used as diagnostic in[...]

10 Audible Indicators When the MS6720 scanner is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scan and scanner. Four settings are available for the tone of the beep. To change the tone, refer to the Program- ming Guide section: Beeper Tones. One Beep * When the scanner first receives power, both LEDs come on t[...]

11 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. [...]

12 Visual Indicators There are a red LED and a green LED on the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scan and scan-ner. No Red or Green LED There are two reasons why the LEDs will not be illuminated: 1.) If the scanner is receiving power and the LEDs are not on, then the scanne[...]

13 Label Each scanner has a label located on the bottom of the unit. This label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, and approvals. This label also notes that the device is a CDRH Class IIa laser product. The following is an example of this label:[...]

19 Scan Pattern Specifics Projection Axis The scan pattern of the MS6720 exits straight out of the scanner. This feature was purposefully designed to provide pointing efficiency in the hand held mode and instinctive positioning in the fixed presentation mode. Omnidirectional Scan Volume Note: The above scan volume shows omnidirectional volume. This[...]
