INTRODUCTION
Caution and Serial Number Labels
Figure 3. Labeling Locations on the Bottom of the Scanner and Examples
Caution
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must
meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm
EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a
limited power source.
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.

INSTALLATION
RS232, Light Pen Emulation
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end
of the PowerLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the MS7120.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the
PowerLink cable to the host device.
4. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements
of the power supply to make sure
the voltage matches the AC outlet.
The outlet must be located near
the equipment and be easily
accessible.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host device.
7
When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will
toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once.
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee
that scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and
correct configuration setting are also required for proper
communication to occur.
Powering the MS7120 directly from the host device can cause
interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not
all computers supply the same current. For this reason, Honeywell
recommends using an external power supply. For additional
information contact a Honeywell customer service representative.
Figure 9.
See page 5.

5. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements
of the power supply to make sure
the voltage matches the AC

be easily accessible. Figure 11.
6. Connect AC power to the transformer.
7. Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will
toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once.
Powering the MS7120 directly from the host device can sometimes
cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.
Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port.
For this reason, Honeywell recommends using an external power
supply. For additional information contact a customer service
representative.

SCANNER OPERATION
Audible Indicators
When the MS7120 is in operation, it provides audible feedback to indicate the
status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep
(normal, six alternate tones and no tone). For instructions 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 blue and white LED will toggle on
and off. The scanner will beep once, then the LEDs will stop toggling and the
blue LED will remain on to indicate the scanner is ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and
the scanner will emit a beep*. If the scanner does not beep once 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 14.
When in configuration mode, a razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code
has been scanned.
Three Beeps - During Operation
When entering configuration mode†the scanner will beep three times and the
white and blue LED will start to toggle on and off. The blue LED and the white
LED will toggle on and off until the scanner exits the configuration mode.
Upon exiting configuration mode†, the white LED will flash three times and the
scanner will beep three times. The blue LED will then stay on indicating the
scanner is ready to scan.
When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will emit a unique beep three
times after scanning. This indicates that the single configuration bar code has
successfully configured the scanner.
Three beeps* can also indicate a communications timeout during normal
scanning mode.
Three Beeps - On Power Up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 14.
* This feature is configuration dependent. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide
to enable this feature.
†Refer to the Multi-Code Configuration Method in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide.

SCANNER OPERATION
Visual Indicators
The MS7120 is equipped with a blue and a white LED that indicates the
scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.
Figure 14. LED Location
No LEDs
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the
host or transformer.
Steady Blue
When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain
on until the laser is deactivated.
During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and off. During this period,
the blue LED will remain on.
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. If the white LED does not flash or the scanner
does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Steady White and Blue
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 (Toggling) Blue and White
This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. A razzberry tone indicates
that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.

SCANNER OPERATION
Failure Mode Indicators
Flashing Blue with One Razzberry Tone
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure.
Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.
Synchronized Flashing of Blue and White with Two Razzberry Tones
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit
to an authorized service center for repair.
Three Beeps - On Power Up
If the scanner beeps three times on power up, then the nonvolatile memory
that holds the scanner configuration may have failed. First, check the
scanner’s settings. Then, try to re-configure the scanner. If the problem
persists return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.
