INTRODUCTION

The MS6720 is the first laser bar code scanner to truly bridge the gap

between omnidirectional fixed projection and hand-held scanners. It

incorporates fixed projection performance and patented 20-line scan pattern

into the comfortable, ergonomic styling of our popular hand-helds.

The MS6720 utilizes a unique, patented infrared sensor and control scheme

for hands-free projection scanning and fatigue reduced hand-held operation.

Whether operators choose to present small items to the scanner or transport

the lightweight scanner to bulkier items, the compact size and comprehensive

scan pattern make the MS6720 the perfect choice for many applications.

For increased flexibility there are three optional stands available. The

stationary stand is ideal for applications where the MS6720 is being used as

a hand-held scanner. Or if a customer application requires more in stand

scanning Metrologic’s adjustable stand provides 7 rotational and 9 tilting

positions while still providing the option for hand-held scanning. If

countertop space is an issue there is an optional bracket for a wall mounting

that can be used with the adjustable stand cup.

The MS6720 features both short-range and long-range activation, user-

friendly programming, reliability and versatility. Operators are sure to

appreciate the convenience and flexibility of the MS6720.

QUICK START

1. Plug in the scanner. The red LED will come on, the green LED will

flash once and the unit will beep simultaneously.

2. The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed with default

settings. To configure the MS6720 scanner to meet the host system’s

specific needs, refer to the ScanSelect®Programming Guide

[MLPN 00-02186] or the help files provided with MetroSet2 for

instructions on how to enter the program mode and to select the

appropriate bar codes.

Note: Any time the Load Defaults bar code is scanned the MS6720 is

configured for an RS-232 interface. If a RS-232 is not being

used, scan at least one other bar code to enable Keyboard

Wedge, OCIA, Light Pen or 46xx.

OPERATIONAL TEST

If the scanner is to receive power from an external power supply*, test the

scanner before it is connected to the host system.

Keyboard Wedge Scanners:

1. Plug one end of the coil cable into the keyboard connector on the PC.

Then plug the keyboard connector into the other end of the coil cable.

Plug in the external transformer.

2. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the

voltage matches the AC outlet. Connect AC power to the transformer.

3. Both LEDs come on together along with the beep (the green LED only

flashes).

RS-232, Light Pen, OCIA and 46xx scanners:

1. Plug the scanner’s coil cable into the MCA (Metrologic Connector

Adapter).

2. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the

voltage matches the AC outlet. Plug the power supply into the MCA

and the appropriate AC outlet. The outlet should be installed near the

equipment and be easily accessible.

3. Both LEDs come on together along with the beep (the green LED only

flashes).

The scanner can be powered in two ways:

•by an External Power Supply* or

•by the Host Device** i.e. the PC for the MS6720 with a Built-

in PC Keyboard Wedge interface.

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 60950.

**To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power

source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
