What is the Honeywell Genesis 7580g?
The Honeywell Genesis 7580g is a QR- and 2-dim-barcode reader for Check In and/or Check out tasks.
How to prepare the device
1. Check if the driver (Honeywell HSM USB Serial Drv) is installed.
2. If not, unplug the device if it is plugged in and install the driver: copy the Zip file to the local computer unzip it, open it and run setup.bat in administration mode.
3. Plug the Honeywell Genesis in. (Important: in the following steps, when you scan a certain code, make sure to cover all other barcodes that might be visible to the reader simultaneously.)
4. Reset the device to factory default by scanning the following codes in the given order (Attention: by scanning these codes, all custom settings will be deleted permanently. An initial factory default state, however, is required in order for the device to work properly in the Magicline.)

b)
5. Scan the following codes to program the required suffixes:

Additional information
If the driver had been installed already previously (for instance because another Honeywell is already part of the setup) and the device is not occurring as a COM device (i.e., it does not show up with a COM-port number COMxx in the Windows Device Manager) it might help to re-install the driver newly.
If the scanner does not recognize the barcode screenshots from above, try to scan them directly from the digital documentation. You can find it in the attachments at the end of this page.
If the scanner refuses to read any barcodes coming from a screen, e.g., computer, cell phone, etc., it might be the case that the device was previously configured in a way that does not allow for reading from an LED screen. In this case, you can print the barcodes on paper and try to scan the printed code.
