INTRODUCTION ™ ArgusScan is an aggressive, omnidirectional laser barcode scanner ideal for retail, convenience, liquor, and specialty store applications. Engineered with a large, easy-to-find optimal scan area, ArgusScan increases the first pass read rate for maximum productivity.
SCANNER AND ACCESSORIES The following is a list of the parts included in the MS7220 kit. • MS7220 ArgusScan™ Presentation Scanner • MetroSelect Programming Guide** [ MLPN 00-02407 or 00-02561 ] • MS7220 User’s and Installation Guide** [ MLPN 00-02554 ] ® **Also Available on the Metrologic Website (www.metrologic.com) • Stand • Standard Horizontal Stand [ MLPN 46-46406 ] • Standard Vertical Stand [ MLPN 46-46405 ] The following items are dependent on the type of MS7220 Kit ordered.
GETTING STARTED Tools needed: • Phillips head screwdriver • ¼”-20 wrench • Drill with a #39 drill bit (drill for hard-mount installation only) Slide off the cable cover. Slide off the horizontal stand. Slide on the cable door and remove the foam insert. Loosen the lock nut, push back the metal base plate and then slide the cable through the cable opening.
GETTING STARTED Return the metal base plate to its original position then tighten the lock nut. Return the foam insert to its original position then slide the horizontal stand back into place on the scanner. Before continuing, determine what communication interface is needed then follow the installation procedure for that interface on pages 5-11. It is important to use the correct communication jack on the back of the scanner (see pages 5-10 for cable the proper connections).
INSTALLATION FOR OCIA INTERFACE To power the unit with an external power supply: 1. Follow the “Getting Started” steps on page 3. 2. Turn off the host system. 3. Connect the PowerLink cable to the jack labeled “OCIA ” on the MS7220. 4. Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the host. Before continuing verify that the powerlink cable is connected to the proper communication jack on the scanner. Incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner. 5.
INSTALLATION FOR OCIA INTERFACE (CONTINUED) To power the unit from the host device: (For OCIA only) 1. Follow the “Getting Started” steps on page 3. 2. Turn off the host system. 3. Connect the PowerLink cable to the jack labeled “OCIA” on the MS7220. 4. Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the host. Before continuing verify that the powerlink cable is connected to the proper communication jack on the scanner.
INSTALLATION FOR KEYBOARD W EDGE INTERFACE 1. Follow the “Getting Started” steps on page 3. 2. Turn of the host system. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host. 4. Connect the PowerLink cable to the jack labeled “Keyboard Wedge ” on the MS7220. 5. Connect the “Y” end of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the host. If necessary use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner for proper connections.
INSTALLATION FOR STAND-ALONE KEYBOARD INTERFACE 1. Follow the “Getting Started” steps on page 3. 2. Turn of the host system. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host. 4. Connect the PowerLink cable to the jack labeled “Stand-Alone Keyboard” on the MS7220. 5. Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard port on the host. Stand-Alone Keyboard Before continuing verify that the powerlink cable is connected to the proper communication jack on the scanner.
INSTALLATION FOR RS232 OR LIGHT PEN INTERFACES 1. Follow the “Getting Started” steps on page 3. 2. Turn off the host system. 3. Connect the PowerLink cable to the jack labeled “RS232 or Light Pen” on the MS7220. 4. Connect the other end of the PowerLink cable to the host. RS232 or Light Pen Before continuing verify that the powerlink cable is connected to the proper communication jack on the scanner. Incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner. 5.
INSTALLATION FOR RS232 OR LIGHT PEN INTERFACES Step 10, page 9 continued.
INSTALLATION OF AN AUXILIARY SCANNER 1. Follow the “Getting Started” steps on page 3. 2. Turn off the host system. 3. Connect the Master/Slave PowerLink cable to the jack labeled “Aux” on the MS7220 (see figure 6). 4. Connect the other end of the Master/Slave PowerLink cable to the slave scanner. The following Metrologic scanners can be used in the “Aux” input of the MS7220: the MS9520, MS9540, MS6220, MS7120, MS6520, MS6720, or another MS7220.

THE MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTON Figure 8a: Multi-Function Button CHANGING THE BEEPER TONE Figure 8b: Changing the Beeper Tone A Short (<3 second) depression The beeper tone will change. The new tone will be heard, followed by a short pause. Then two more of the new tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory. The silent (no beep) tone is also selectable. PLACING THE UNIT IN SLEEP MODE Long (>3 seconds) depression Puts the scanner in the sleep mode.
AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the MS7220 scanner 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, use the Multi-Function Button or refer to the MetroSelect® Programming Guide (MLPN 00-02407 or 00-02561). 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.
FAILURE MODES Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Flashing Red and Green and Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. 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.
VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on the front of the MS7220. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No Red or Green LED The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
LABELS Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit. The label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, and the serial number. The following are examples of these labels: Figure 9: Labels MAINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. 2. 18 Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-METRO or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms. MS7220 Series Troubleshooting Guide SYMPTOMS All Interfaces No LEDs, beep or motor spin POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION No power is being supplied to the scanner Check transformer, outlet and power strip.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (CONTINUED) SYMPTOMS POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) SOLUTION Power-up OK and scans OK but does not communicate properly to the host. Com port not operating properly. Check to make sure that the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the communication port match and the program is looking for “RS-232" data. The host is receiving data but the data does not look correct. The scanner and host may not be configured for the same interface font.
RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your 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, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.
APPLICATIONS AND PROTOCOLS The model number on each scanner includes the scanner number and factory default communications protocol. Scanner Version Identifier 7220 12 Communication Protocol(s) RS232, Light Pen, Keyboard Wedge, StandAlone Keyboard, OCIA, Low Speed Option The MS7220 with Built-in PC Keyboard Wedge Interface is designed to be used for keyboard emulation only. Many RS-232 programmable functions available in other Metrologic scanners are also available as keyboard wedge functions.
