Visual Indicators
There are a red LED and a green LED on the head of the Orbit MS7100.
When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity 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 Red
When the laser is active, the red LED is illuminated. The red
LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and turn off.
During this period, the red LED remains illuminated.
Steady Red and Single Green Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green LED will
flash and the scanner will beep once. If the green LED does not flash
or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.
Steady Red and Steady Green
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 green LED will remain on until
the data can be transmitted.
Steady Red and Flashing Green
This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone
indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.
Steady Green, Red off
This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from
the host.
