SCANNER OPERATION
STARTUP
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.
POWER-UP TEST MODE
When a StratosS scanner is first powered up, it cycles through a number of self-tests before starting normal operation. If there
are any initial failures during this sequence of tests the scanner will beep or razz to indicate the error and an error code will
appear in the diagnostic indicator display.
The following are examples of the types of tests performed at power-up.
1. Memory tests
2. Hardware setup tests
3. Motor tests
4. Laser tests
5. Configuration tests
6. Interface tests
These tests are also performed on a periodic basis with the operator alerted to any failures.
CONFIGURATION MODE
All StratosS series scanners have been configured at the factory with a set of default communication protocols. Since many
host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, Metrologic provides a wide range of configurable features that
may be selected with the use of the MetroSelect
®
Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x), the MS2xxx Stratos Series
Configuration Addendum (
MLPN 00-02034x) and MetroSet.
For a complete list of the factory default settings, refer to the Default Settings section of this guide.
