SCANNER OPERATION  
Audible Indicators  
When the MS3580 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, 6 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 white LED will flash, the blue LED  
will turn on and the scanner will beep once (the white LED will remain on for  
the duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan.  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and  
the scanner will emit a beep (if configured to do so). 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 21.  
Three Beeps - during operation  
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white LED will flash  
while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue  
LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting  
configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and the white LED will  
stop flashing.  
When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during  
normal scanning mode.  
When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times: the  
current selected tone, followed by a short pause, a high tone and a low tone.  
This tells the user that the single configuration bar code has successfully  
configured the scanner.  
Three Beeps - on power up  
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators on page 21.

SCANNER OPERATION  
Visual Indicators  
The QuantumT is equipped with a blue and white LED that indicates the  
scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.  
Figure 13. Speaker Location and LED Location  
No LEDs  
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the  
host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when the laser is turned off  
for any reason.  
Steady Blue  
When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain  
illuminated until the laser is deactivated.  
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 Blue and White Flashes  
This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode. A razzberry tone indicates  
that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.  
Steady White, Blue Off  
This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.

Failure Mode Indicators  
Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone  
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure.  
Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.  
Flashing Blue and White and Two Razzberry Tones  
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit  
to an authorized service center for repair.  
Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off  
If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the  
scanner has an electronic failure. Return the unit to an authorized service  
center for repair.  
Three Beeps - On Power Up  
If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up, then the nonvolatile memory that  
holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit to an authorized  
service center for repair.

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 MS3580, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can  
be upgraded. All RS232 (-41); keyboard wedge (-47); light pen (-41); OCIA (-9);  
IBM 468X/469X (-11); low speed USB (-38); integrated full speed USB (-40); and  
RS232 TTL, Laser Emulation (-104) units can be upgraded. To upgrade all units,  
a power supply and a PowerLink cable (MLPN 54-54014) are required.  
RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable  
(MLPN 54-54000x-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” – both the blue and white LEDs will be on.  
The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for  
details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal  
one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not upgrade  
properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

LASER AND PRODUCT SAFETY  
Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified  
herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances should the  
customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the laser 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 laser light exposure. The use of  
optical instruments with the laser 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 luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna  
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni intentar  
mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el  
escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a  
la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo láser 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 le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, 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 une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi  
d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque d'endommagement de  
la vision.  
Achtung  
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder  
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen  
Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den  
Laserstrahl, 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 Laserstrahlung 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 esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non  
deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai il  
raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per  
guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser  
rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di  
danni alla vista.
