INTRODUCTION  
Product Overview  
The MS1890 is a rugged, high performance hand-held area imaging bar code  
scanner that utilizes a high-resolution CMOS imaging sensor for superior image  
quality. The MS1890 utilizes Omniplanar, Inc.’s Swiftdecoder® software for  
reliable decoding of both 1D and 2D bar code symbologies. Sharp images can  
be captured and transmitted in a variety of outputs, including: .jpg, .bmp, and .tiff.  
Omnidirectional scanning capabilities and an extended depth of field provides  
aggressive scanning of all standard 1D, GS1 DataBar™, PDF417, microPDF,  
EAN/UCC Composite, Matrix and Postal Codes symbology types. Firmware  
updates are easily loaded via Flash ROM.  
The MS1890 provides a built in object detection sensor (IR) that instantly turns  
on the scanner when an object is presented within the scanner’s field of view.

SCANNER OPERATION  
Audible Indicators  
When the MS1890 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, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the  
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide, MLPN 00-02544 or MetroSet2’s  
help files.  
One Beep  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the  
white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.  
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then  
the bar code has not been successfully read.  
Short Razzberry Tone  
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 15).  
Long Razzberry Tone  
This tone is a failure indicator (see Failure Modes on page 15).  
Three Beeps - At Power Up  
When The MS1890 first receives power it will start an initialization sequence.  
All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will light for approximately 2 seconds then  
start to alternately flash. When the scanner has finished initializing the LEDs  
will stop flashing and the unit will beep 3 times indicating that the scanner is  
ready for use.  
Three Beeps - Configuration Mode  
When entering configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner  
simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to  
flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will  
beep three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.  
When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during  
normal scanning mode.  
When using single-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times:  
a normal tone followed by a short pause, a high tone and then a low tone.  
This indicates that the single configuration bar code has successfully  
configured the scanner.

SCANNER OPERATION  
Visual Indicators  
The MS1890 has three LED indicators (yellow, white and  
blue) located on the top of the scanner. When the scanner  
is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs  
indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.  
No LEDs are Illuminated  
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not  
receiving power from the host or transformer.  
Figure 11.  
The scanner is in stand-by mode. Present a bar code to  
the scanner and the blue LED will turn on when the IR  
detects the object.  
Steady Blue  
The blue LED is illuminated when the scanner is active and linear illumination  
is on or when the scanner is attempting to decode a barcode.  
Steady Blue and Single White Flash  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the  
white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.  
If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not turn on, then  
the bar code has not been successfully read.  
Steady White  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code it will beep once and the  
white LED will turn on indicating data is being transmitted.  
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 Flashing of Blue and White  
This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. A short razzberry tone  
indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode.

CONFIGURATION MODES  
The MS1890 Series has three modes of configuration.  
Bar Codes  
The MS1890 can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in the  
Metrologic Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544) or the Area  
Imaging Bar Code Supplemental Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02281).  
These manuals can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website  
(www.metrologic.com).  
MetroSet2  
This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to  
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This program can be  
set-up disks can be ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO.  
Serial Configuration  
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives  
the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of  
the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of  
the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide  
(MLPN 00-02544).

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE  
The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of  
Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to  
quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of firmware. It requires the use of a  
personal computer running Windows 95 or greater and the use of a serial port.  
The user merely connects the scanner to a serial port on the PC, launches the  
MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.  
Each MS1890, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can  
be upgraded. In other words, all RS232 (-14), keyboard wedge (-47), IBM  
468X/469X (-11), low speed USB (-38), and full speed USB (-40) units can be  
upgraded. To upgrade all units, a power supply and PowerLink cable  
(MLPN 53-53701-3) are required.  
RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable  
(MLPN 53-53700x-3).  
The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user  
must first select the file. Once the file is selected and verified, the scanner is  
ready to be upgraded. Press the “Flash Scanner” button to upgrade the scanner.  
The unit will go into a “flash mode” – the blue and white LEDs will be flashing  
alternately. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the  
screen for details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will reset itself. If  
a razz/beep occurs, the scanner did not upgrade properly. Contact a Metrologic  
service representative for additional assistance.

LED  
Class 1 LED Product: IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2,  
EN 60825-1:1994+A1+A2  
Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein  
may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer  
attempt to service the LED scanner. Never attempt to look at the LED beam, even if the  
scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the  
device. Doing so could result in hazardous radiation exposure. The use of optical instruments  
with the LED equipment will increase eye hazard.  
Atención  
La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de los  
especificados aquí, pueden provocar una exposición de luz brillante peligrosa. Bajo ninguna  
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del LED (Diodo Emisor de Luz) del  
lector. Ni intentar mirar al haz del LED incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá  
abrir el lector para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a  
la luz del LED. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo LED puede incrementar el riesgo  
para la vista.  
Attention  
L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner de  
graves irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le scanner ou  
la LED. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon LED, même si vous croyez que le scanner est  
inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous vous exposez  
à un risque d’irradiation. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement à LED augmente le  
risque d'endommagement de la vision.  
Achtung  
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder  
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Licht emittierender Dioden strahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde  
sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den Licht emittierender Dioden-Scanner selbst zu  
warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den Licht emittierender Diodenstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben,  
daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals den Scanner, um in das Gerät  
hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Licht emittierender  
Diodenstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht  
das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.  
Attenzione  
L'utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel  
presente Manuale può provocare delle rischiose esposizioni radiattive. Il cliente non deve  
assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner LED (o diodo emettitore di luce). Non  
guardate mai il raggio LED (d. emettitore di luce), anche se credete che lo scanner non sia  
attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l'apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi  
ad una radiazione rischiosa. L'uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi LED (d. emettitori  
di luce), aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
