Before You Start:

Make sure you have:

• A compatible device or POS system where the scanner will be connected.
• The necessary cable for your interface (USB, RS232, or Keyboard Wedge).

Step-by-Step Installation Process:

1. Unbox the Scanner:

   • Remove the Honeywell Orbit MS7120 from its packaging.

2. Connect the Cable: Depending on your interface type, follow the steps below:

   • USB Connection:

     • Plug the USB cable (usually included) into the USB port of your computer or POS terminal.
     • The scanner should be automatically detected, and no additional drivers may be needed (depending on your system).

   • RS232 Connection:

     • Plug the RS232 serial cable into the RS232 port of your POS system or computer.
     • You may need to configure serial settings on your system (like baud rate, parity, and stop bits). Refer to the user manual for specific settings.

   • Keyboard Wedge Connection:

     • Plug the keyboard wedge cable into the keyboard port on your computer or POS terminal.
     • This allows the scanner to act like a keyboard, directly inputting scanned barcodes as keystrokes.

3. Mounting the Scanner (Optional):

   • The stand can be adjusted to different angles to optimize scanning based on your workspace.

4. Power On the Device:

   • The scanner should light up, and you’ll see the indicator for scanning.

5. Adjust Scanner Settings (Optional):

   • These settings can be adjusted by scanning special configuration barcodes from the user manual or configuration guide (which comes with the device)

FEATURES & BENEFITS:-

A 20-line scan omnidirectional pattern provides aggressive scanning as an additional benefit to hand presentation applications.

The Orbit scanner has an engineered “sweet spot” to optimize scan performance and first pass read rate.

An adjustable scan head enables users to tilt the scanner 30° for targeted scanning of larger products.

Retail operations can protect their POS investment with free firmware updates via MetroSet 2 software and a standard PC.

A built-in RF EAS antenna (Orbit 7180 scanner only) increases efficiency by simultaneously deactivating RF EAS tags and decoding barcodes.
