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.

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

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.

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.

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.
