Mounting General Guidelines • Avoid specular reflections, caused by ambient and internal light sources. • The bar code should be slightly off perpendicular to the axis of the scanner. • To reduce specular reflections the skew angle can vary significantly depending on the application such as: ambient illumination sources, code size and code type. • Excessive angles should be avoided. • Other factors, such as surface qualities, mounting distances, secondary windows and external illumi

Operation Modes of Operation The MS4980 supports two standard modes of operation for scanning bar codes, automatic activation and manual activation scanning. Scanning while in the automatic activation mode can occur in either one of two configurable options, pass-through or presentation. Both the pass-through and the presentation options are enabled by default. With the default configuration, the scanner operates in the pass-through state for 300 ms and then changes to the pre

Manual Activation Decodes ALL 1D, PDF and 2D matrix codes Scanning Method: 1. Press the button one time to activate linear targeting. 2. Align the linear targeting line over the desired bar code. Note: When scanning 1D programming bar codes, the bar code must be presented to the scanner in the correct orientation, see Figure 12. PDF and 2D matrix codes may be presented in any orientation.

Audible Indicators When the MS4980 is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide, PN 00-02544, or MetroSet2’s help files. One Beep When the scanner successfully reads a bar code the unit will beep once and the white LED will flash once indicating data has been

Visual Indicators The scanner has blue and white LED indicators on either side of the button on the top of the unit. When the scanner is on, the intensity of the LED and the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs, indicates the status of the current scan and the diagnostic scanner. Figure 13. No LEDs are Illuminated The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Low Intensity Blue The scanner is in stand-by mode.
