You will need to configure the Metrologic (Honeywell) 7120 Orbit Scanner to interact with Newton software. In order to do this, you will need to print a portion of this documentation and scan the programming codes. Refer to Printing and Exporting in Confluence for printing directions.
If you have any issues with the barcode, please refer to the User's Guide. |
Download and Install the Driver
Administrator rights are required to install the device driver. If you do not have administrative rights to the computer(s) you are installing the device, contact Central Office support or your IT department. |
Locate the downloaded .zip file on your computer or local drive and double-click the file to open.
Connecting to a Full Speed or Low Speed USB

Turn on the computer.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will toggle on and off. The scanner will beep once. |
Establish Serving Line configurations
Step 5 includes instructions for both Serving Line and Serving Line Configs. Choose the correct section your District utilizes for setup. |
Once you have located the Devices section click on Customer Input Device #1, then the ellipsis button.
If you were utilizing another input device and plan on the continued use of the other device, select Customer Input Device #2. |
Test the scanner by starting a new meal, starting a serving line configured to the template, or modified for the scanner. Scan barcodes of a few students to ensure Newton is recognizing them in the system.
On the POS serving line with the scanner, double click on the Newton POS icon to open up to the login screen.
If you will be enrolling students on the main machine, locate the Meal Control Panel and click on Main Machine to run Newton POS. |
In the Customer Input Device window, scan the student's barcode identification card.

After you have finished with line servings, click the Quit Serving Line button to exit Newton POS.
Then, click the Exit Point-Of-Sale button.
Be sure to return to the main machine and stop the meal and post transactions for the day.
