INTRODUCTION  
Product Overview  
Metrologic's MS9500 Voyager® series of hand-held (single-line) laser scanners  
offers the user an aggressive solution for scanning all standard 1D bar codes  
including GS1 DataBar™ (RSS) bar codes. The MS9500 series is equipped with  
both in-stand and out-of-stand operation enabling hand-held or fixed projection  
scanning. The MS9520 Voyager model includes all of the same features as the  
MS9540 VoyagerCG model, with the exception of Metrologic’s patented  
CodeGate® technology.  
The MS9540, VoyagerCG incorporates Metrologic’s patented auto-trigger and  
CodeGate button feature. When a bar code is place in the scanner’s IR range,  
the auto-trigger activates the laser enabling the user to align the visible laser line  
over the bar code selected for scanning. The user can then press the CodeGate  
button, to transmit the data to the host system. When the MS9540 is placed in  
the stand the CodeGate button feature will automatically deactivating for hands  
free operation.  
Some additional key product features for the MS9500 series include:  
Auto-trigger operation and auto-stand detect  
CodeGate data transmission technology (MS9540 only)  
Flash – upgradeable firmware  
Easy configuration with MetroSelect® bar codes and MetroSet®2  
Windows® compatible software  
Support for common interfaces including USB (see chart below)

INTRODUCTION  
Disconnecting the PowerLink Cable  
Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that the  
power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected  
from the PowerLink cable.  
Figure 2.  
1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the top of the unit near the bottom of the  
Voyager logo.  
2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above.  
3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’.  
4. There will be an audible click when the connector lock releases. Pull gently  
on the strain-relief of the PowerLink cable to separate the cable from the  
scanner.

INTRODUCTION  
Labels  
Every scanner has labels and molded text located on the underside of the unit.  
The labels and text contain important information such as the unit’s date of  
manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. Figure 5 provides  
examples of the labels and the molded text.  
Figure 5 . Molded Text and Label Examples  
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/IEC  
60950-1.  
To maintain compliance with standard CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm  
EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for  
a limited power source.  
Maintenance  
Smudges and dirt on the unit's window can interfere with the unit's performance.  
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no  
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free,  
non-abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.  
If the unit's case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not  
contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or  
damage the unit's exterior.

INDICATORS  
Audible  
When the Voyager 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 beeper tone, refer  
to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help files.  
One Beep  
When the scanner first receives power, the green* LED will turn on, the red*  
LED will flash, and the scanner will beep once. The scanner is ready to scan.  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and  
the scanner will beep once.  
Three Beeps  
During Operation  
When entering the configuration mode, the red* LED will flash while the  
scanner simultaneously beeps three times.  
When exiting the configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and  
the red LED will stop blinking.  
Three beeps can also indicate a communication timeout during normal  
scanning mode if the scanner is configured to give this indication.  
During Start-up  
This is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure Modes” on page 19.  
Three Beeps  
When using the single-code-configuration method, the scanner will sound a  
3-combination tone (a single beep then a short pause followed by, a high tone,  
and a low tone). This beep sequence signals that the single configuration bar  
code has successfully configured the scanner.  
Razzberry Tone  
On startup, this tone indicates a failure mode. Refer to “Failure Modes" on  
page 19.  
When in configuration mode, a short razzberry tone will sound if an invalid bar  
code is scanned.  
*
In some custom units the standard green LED has been replaced with a blue LED and  
the red LED has been replaced with a white LED.

INDICATORS  
Visual  
Figure 29. LED Configuration  
The MS9540 has three LED indicators located on the head of the scanner.  
The MS9520 has two LED indicators located on the head of the scanner.  
When the scanner is in operation, the flashing, or stationary activity of the LEDs  
indicates the status of the scanner and the current scan.  
All LEDs are Off  
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the  
host or transformer.  
The scanner is in stand-by mode, and CodeGate is enabled. Present a bar  
code to the scanner and the green LED will turn on when the laser turns on.  
Steady Yellow (MS9540’s Only)  
The CodeGate button is not active. If a bar code is in the scan field, the laser  
will turn on. The bar code will be decoded and transmitted to the host  
automatically.  
Steady Green  
When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green* LED will  
remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated (default mode only).  
Steady Green and Single Red Flash  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red* LED will flash and  
the scanner will beep once. If the red LED does not flash or the scanner does  
not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read (default mode  
only).  
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 red LED will remain on until the  
data can be transmitted.

In some custom units the standard green LED has been replaced with a blue LED and  
the red LED has been replaced with a white LED.

This indicates the scanner has experienced a flipper/motor failure.  
Return the unit for repair to an authorized service center.  
Continuous Razzberry Tone with all LEDs Off  
If, upon power, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the  
scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to  
an authorized service center.  
Three Beeps – on power up  
If the scanner beeps three times on power up then the non-volatile memory  
(NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. If the scanner does  
not respond after reconfiguring, return the scanner for repair to an authorized  
service center.

CONFIGURATION MODES  
The MS9500 Voyager has three modes of configuration.  
Bar Codes  
Voyager or VoyagerCG can be configured by scanning the bar codes  
located in the MetroSelect® Single-Line Configuration Guide  
(MLPN 00-02544). This manual can be downloaded for FREE at  
MetroSet®2  
This user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows you to  
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This software 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).  
How does Serial Configuration work?  
1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each  
numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed  
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].  
EXAMPLE #1:  
Command for Disabling Codabar  
Command = [stx]100104[etx]  
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h  
(All values are hexadecimal).  
2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an  
[ack].  
3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with  
a [nak].  
NOTE: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of  
the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command  
will not work, the user must start over.

CONFIGURATION MODES  
4. During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A  
BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE.  
5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout  
occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over.  
6. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command  
[stx]999999[etx].  
7. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command  
[stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps.  
8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits  
settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the  
scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the  
scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect  
until after serial configuration mode is exited.  
EXAMPLE #2:  
The following example will set the scanner to the factory default settings,  
Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the beeper tone, and add

The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted  
‘3’ that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect manual.  
THE ‘3’ SHOULD NOT BE SENT. IT IS A CODE TYPE DESIGNATION  
ONLY!  
As you will note for commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned  
(such as prefixes, suffixes, timeouts, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the  
same order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

The scanner will beep three times!  
This example illustrates two important points.  
First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with  
a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.  
Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate  
does not take effect until after the end-user exits configuration mode.

RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM  
If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with an IBM compatible PC, key in the  
following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are  
working.  
This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that  
cabling is correct, the COM port is working, and the scanner is working. If the  
bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, the hardware  
interface and scanner are working. The next step would be to investigate  
whether the application software and the scanner configuration match.  
If the application does not support RS232 scanners, a software wedge program  
is available that will take RS232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer. This  
program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data  
Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the demonstration program works but the  
customer's application software does not, jumper RTS to CTS and Data Terminal  
Reading (DTR) to DCD and DSR on the back of your PC.

Laser Class 1: 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 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.
