Scanner/Imager Port
The MX7 has one integrated barcode scanner port. Three internal scanner engines and one imager
are available. Only one scan engine is installed at a time. Scan engines are not “hot swappable”.
The scan engine options are:
• EV-15 linear imager from Intermec
• SE 824 short range scanner from Symbol
• SE 955 high performance scanner from Symbol
• SE 1524ER extended range Lorax scanner from Symbol
The internal scanner activates when the scan button on the front of the MX7 is depressed or when
the trigger on an installed trigger handle is depressed. A control panel applet (Start | Settings |
Control Panel | Scanner) is available to set scan engine options.
Functionality of the internal scanner driver is based on the driver version installed in the MX7.
Functions may include audible tones on good scan (at the maximum db supported by the speaker),
failed scan, LED indication of a scan in progress, among other functions. If enabled, a vibration
device provides a tactile response on a good scan event.
Configuring specific barcode parameters for any of the scan or imager engines is performed by
using the MX7 scanner to scan setup barcodes located in the “Integrated Scanner Programming
Guide.”
Note: The SE 955 scanner replaced the SE 824 scanner on all MX7’s manufactured after July
2006.
