1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end
of the VLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the MS7580.
There will be an audible click when
the connector lock engages.
3. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector
of the communication cable to the
proper COM port of the host device.
4. Plug the 12V power supply ‹ into the
power jack on the VLink cable.
Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to verify 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. The MS7580 will start to initialize. The white and blue LED will alternately
fade on and off for approximately three seconds. When the scanner has
finished initializing, the unit will flash the white LED three times while
simultaneously beeping three times. The low intensity blue LED will remain
turned on.
7. Turn on the host device.
‹ The MS7580 requires 12V power to function for RS232 operation. Metrologic
recommends using the external power supply shipped with the MS7580.
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that
scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system.
The scanner is shipped from the factory configured with default settings.
Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide
(
MLPN
00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on changing the
scanner’s configuration. In addition, please check that the scanner and host
system are using the same communication protocol.
See caution page 6.
