Ordering a Library Barcode Scanner

Scanners are purchased by the schools. ERS will not buy or order them for you.

To order a new barcode scanner for your library, follow these procedures:

  1. Click here to go to the district's equipment ordering page.
  2. About halfway down the page you should see the ordering information for the "Metrologic Voyager MS9540 Part #MK9540-72A38 scanner."
  3. Feel free to print that page and present it to the person responsible for ordering the equipment through Cayenta.
serverThe current Metrologic Voyager has a USB (flat rectangular shape) connector. Your computer must have at least one open USB slot.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are using an older Metrologic scanner, it will have a round PS/2 connector. The newer Dell computers do not have a port for these types of connectors. You must purchase a "Belkin PS/2-USB" splitter adapter in order to use your older scanner. It has been tested and approved by Library Automation and is available at most computer or electronic parts stores. Contact the ERS Helpdesk or call 720.423.8130 for more information.

Once the scanner has been ordered and received by your school, setup is easy. Just assemble the stand, log in to Windows, and plug the scanner into any available USB port on your computer. After a few seconds, the scanner will power on and beep. Once this occurs, the scanner is ready to use. Contact the ERS Helpdesk if you have any problems with the installation of your scanner.
