Maintenance
Smudges and dirt on the unit's window can interfere with the unit's performance.
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-
abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.
If the unit's case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not
contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or
damage the unit's exterior.

QuantumE near the cable (item 5 in figure 1a).
2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown.
3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin)
into the ‘pinhole’.
4. There will be a faint ‘click’ when the cable lock is
released. Pull gently on the strain-relief of the
PowerLink cable to remove it from the scanner.

Caution
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the
scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according
to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm
EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a
limited power source.

INSTALLATION
RS232, RS232 TTL, Light Pen or Laser Emulation
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end
of the PowerLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the IS3480.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the
PowerLink cable to the host device.
Note: Skip to step 6 if receiving
power from the host device.
4. Plug the external power supply into
the power jack on the PowerLink
cable.
Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment
and be easily accessible.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on;
the scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED.
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not
guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC.
A software driver and correct configuration setting are also required
for proper communication to occur.
See page 5

RS485
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end
of the MVC cable into the
10-pin socket on the IS3480.
3. Connect the other end of the MVC
cable to the host device.
4. Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the
scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED.

INSTALLATION
Keyboard Wedge
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of
the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin
socket on the IS3480.
3. Disconnect the keyboard from the
host device.
4. Connect the “Y” end of the PowerLink
cable to the keyboard and the
keyboard port on the host device.
If necessary, use the male/female
adapter cable supplied with the
scanner for proper connections.
5. Plug the external power supply into
the power jack on the PowerLink
cable.
Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment
and be easily accessible.
6. Connect AC power to the transformer.
7. Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the
scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED.
Powering the IS3480 directly from the host device can sometimes cause
interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all
computers supply the same current through the keyboard port. For this
reason, Honeywell recommends using an external power supply. For
additional information, contact a customer service representative.

3. Connect the other end of the
PowerLink cable to the keyboard
port on the host device.
4. Plug the external power supply into
the power jack on the PowerLink
cable.
Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC

enabled.
For information on
configuring the IS3480-38 for
USB Serial Emulation Mode,
please refer to Section P:
Low Speed USB in the
MetroSelect Configuration
Guide (MLPN 00-02407).
When the scanner first receives power, the blue LED will turn on; the
scanner will simultaneously beep once and flash the white LED.
Plugging the scanner into the USB port of the PC does not guarantee
that scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and

Notes for Laser Emulation
IS3480-104 Only
The IS3480-104 leaves the factory with the Laser Emulation Mode enabled.
If the Recall Defaults bar code is scanned while reconfiguring the scanner, the
laser emulation mode will no longer be enabled.

SCANNER OPERATION
Configurable Primary and Secondary Scan Pattern Modes
There are two configurable scan pattern modes available with the IS3480.
The primary scan pattern mode is the default scan pattern active when the
scanner starts.
The secondary scan pattern mode is activated by pressing the button
located on the side of the scanner. This mode is also referred to as the
button mode. For additional information on QuantumE’s button modes and
an example of each, please refer to Configurable Button Functions below.
The scanner returns to the primary scan pattern mode after a double
click of the button or if the unit has not scanned a bar code for the
duration of a pre-configured time limit.
Each pattern mode can be configured to use one of three scan patterns listed
below. Please refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for information on
changing the default scan pattern settings.
all scan lines on (omnidirectional reading)
single-line (menu reading)
horizontal raster
If CodeGate is enabled, it will apply to the secondary pattern mode
when scanning. For detailed information on CodeGate and the button
refer to the Configurable Button Functions.
Configurable Button Functions
The button on the side of the IS3480 can be configured to function in one of
four modes.
Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Enabled (Default)
Button Click Mode, with CodeGate Disabled
Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Enabled
Button Hold Mode, with CodeGate Disabled
The following pages include examples of how the button will function when the
unit has been configured to operate in each of the four button modes.
