Configuration and Upgrades 
Configuration Modes 
The MS7580 has three modes of configuration. 
•  Bar Codes 
The MS7580 can be configured by scanning the bar codes included  
in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or the Area-Imaging 
Supplemental Configuration Guide. The manuals are available for download 
at www.honeywellaidc.com.  
 
•  MetroSet2 
This user-friendly Windows
®
-based configuration program allows you to 
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired imager options.  MetroSet2 is available 
for download at www.honeywellaidc.com. 
 
•  Serial Programming  
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications.  Serial 
programming mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of 
commands using the serial port of the host system.  The commands are 
equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the 
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide. 
Upgrading the Firmware 
The MS7580 is part of Honeywell’s line of imagers with flash upgradeable 
firmware.  The upgrade process requires, a new firmware file supplied to the 
customer by a customer service representative
 and Honeywell’s MetroSet2 
software
.  A personal computer running Windows
®
 95 or greater with an 
available RS232 serial or USB port is required to complete the upgrade.  
Note: Do not use the standard cable supplied with Keyboard Wedge or RS485 
MS7580 interface kits for firmware upgrades.  If using USB or RS232 for 
the upgrade process, the standard USB or RS232 cable provided with the 
imager can be used.
