Installation Quick Installation Outline The following is a quick preview of the steps required for first time installations. Each item is discussed in detail later in this section. Determine clearance, ventilation, and service access requirements. Determine checkout counter layout taking into account package flow, cable routing, and power requirements.
Site Requirements Power Installation The Power Supply (AC/DC) should be connected to an AC Outlet that is free of electrical noise (clean). A qualified electrician can determine the amount of electrical noise on the AC line. See additional information on power installation and restrictions under the Installation: Interface section of this manual. Note: Using a switched AC outlet is recommended.
Unpacking the Unit 1. Make sure the shipping box is topside up before opening. 2. Remove the accessories box and check the box’s content for the following items. Product Manuals Power Supply Communication Cables Remote Scale Display (Optional) Figure 14 3.

Cable Installation (Interface Specific) RS232 The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 application. The scanner must then be configured to match the host’s RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the scanner will communicate properly with the host system. Note: Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x) and the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x).

Cable Installation (Interface Specific) Full Speed USB The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a Full Speed USB scanner application. The scanner must then be configured to match the host’s USB parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the scanner will communicate properly with the host system.
Cable Installation (Interface Specific) Full Speed USB Step 8 is for USB Serial Emulation Mode or Keyboard Emulation Mode only. 8. Configure the scanner for USB Serial Emulation Mode or USB Keyboard Emulation Mode by scanning the appropriate configuration bar codes in the USB section of the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x) under Low Speed USB.
Cable Installation (Interface Specific) RS485 The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS485 scanner application. The scanner must then be configured to match the host’s RS485 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the scanner will communicate properly with the host system. Note: Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x) and the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x).

Cable Installation (Secondary Honeywell Scanner) The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Honeywell scanner and the MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 scanner. The MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 scanner will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.

Wake Activation Area (Photocell LED Output) † The MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 scanner’s default power save mode is Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (see page 41). This power save mode turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals.
Wake Activation Area Sensitivity (Photocell LED Output Range) Changing the Wake Area Sensitivity Level (Photocell LED Range Adjust) The MS2400 Series bar code scanner wake area sensitivity level can be set to the end users preference by scanning one of the Photocell Sensitivity adjustment bar codes below. *Max Photocell Sensitivity This feature enables the MS24xx to...
Audible Indicators When in operation, the MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 scanner provides audible feedback that indicates the status of the unit and the current scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone) plus three volume settings. To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone and Volume section of this manual.
Visual Indicators Blue LED is located near the bottom corner of the vertical output window. When the scanner is ON, the flashing or constant illumination of the LED indicates the status of the scanner and the current scan. No Blue LED The blue LED will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
Failure Modes Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to three times to correct the failure condition. If the laser subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display.
Diagnostic Indicator Display There is a two-digit error code display located under horizontal output window near the top of the platter (see figure below). Figure 33. Error Code Display The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance.
Page 43
Error Description Code COPROCESSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR – The main microprocessor is not communicating with the interface coprocessor. The interface coprocessor may be in a fault condition with the host or just not able to respond. This error may appear when the scanner is configured for USB or RS485 interface applications or during an attempt to update the interface software through the flash utility.
Page 44
Error Description Code LASER #2 (RIGHT HORIZONTAL) UNDERCURRENT WARNING – The laser in the right horizontal scanning subsystem is drawing too little current. The laser is probably not on. This could be the result of a loss of the required set point in memory. Have the unit checked at an authorized service center.
Power Save Modes The MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 bar code scanners have five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for additional information on Power Save Modes. 1. Blink Power Save Mode: Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use. When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode.
Beeper Options and Button Functions Changing the Beeper Tone Beeper tones may be configured incrementally using the following bar code. The new tone will be heard followed by a short pause. Two more new tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory.
Startup When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once. The scanner is now ready to scan. Power-Up Test Mode When a MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 scanner is first powered up, it cycles through a number of self-tests before starting normal operation.
Maintenance Horizontal Scan Window Replacement Note: After the replacement platter has been installed, remove all protective film from the new platter’s window. The unit will not function properly if the protective film is not removed. Figure 38. Platter/Horizontal Scan Window Replacement See replacement parts on page 3.
Daily Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance. If the horizontal or vertical output windows require 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.
Troubleshooting The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a customer service representative to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces Check the transformer, outlet, and the power strip. No LED, beep, or No power is being supplied Make sure the power cable is plugged into the motor spin.
Page 52
Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces The print quality of the bar code is suspect. Scanner beeps at The type of printer and/or the printer settings could be some bar codes and the problem. Check the character NOT for others of the length lock.
