INSTALLATION FOR OCIA INTERFACE
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the MVC cable to
the 10-pin OCIA interface jack. It is
the 2nd round opening from the left
side of the MS7320 (see figure 1).
3. Connect the other end of the MVC
cable to the host.
Before continuing verify that the MVC
cable is connected to the appropriate
interface jack on the scanner. An
incorrect cable connection can cause
communication problems or potential
damage to the scanner.
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 settings
are also required for proper
communication.
4. Turn on the host system.
5. Scan the Load OCIA Defaults bar
code to configure the MS7320 for
OCIA communication.
6. Snap on the cable cover.
For additional communication options for OCIA interfaces refer to the
MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407).
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 60950.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the power
source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

USB interface jack. It is the 2nd round
opening from the left side of the MS7320
(see figure 4b).
5. Connect the other end of the USB cable to
the host.
Before continuing verify that the USB
cable is connected to the appropriate
interface jack on the scanner. An incorrect
cable connection can cause
communication problems or potential
damage to the scanner.
Plugging the scanner into the USB
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.
6. Scan the Enable USB Defaults bar code to
configure the MS7320 for USB
communication.
7. Turn on the host system.

appropriate interface jack on the
scanner. An incorrect cable connection
can cause communication problems or
potential damage to the scanner.
4. Connect the external power supply
to the power jack on the PowerLink
Cable.
5. Check the AC input requirements of
the power supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC outlet.
