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.

SCANNER OPERATION

Sweet Spot Mode

The sweet spot mode is used to determine where the maximum read rate area or “sweet spot” is located for a specific bar code type. When activated this mode provides visual and audible feedback indicating how the scanner is scanning.

Number of Illuminated LEDs Beeper Pitch % of Maximum Read Rate

4 high 81 - 100%

3 61 - 80%

2 41 - 60%

1 21 - 40%

0 low 0 - 20%

For further information on the sweet spot mode and instructions on how to enable
it, refer the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).

17

SCANNER OPERATION

Audible Indicators

When the IS3480 is in operation, it can provide audible feedback. These sounds
indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the
beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). For instruction on how to change
the tone of the beeper, refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power the white LED will flash, the
blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once (the white
LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). The scanner is
now ready to scan.

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED
will flash and the scanner beeps once (if configured to do so). If the
scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then
the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators
on page 20.

Three Beeps - during operation

18

When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white LED will
flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The
white and blue LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits
configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner
will beep three times and the white LED will stop flashing.

When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications
timeout during normal scanning mode.

When using one-code-programming, the scanner will beep three
times: the current selected tone, followed by a short pause, a high
tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the single configuration
bar code has successfully configured the scanner.

Three Beeps - on power up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Mode Indicators
on page 20.

SCANNER OPERATION

Visual Indicators

There are four LEDs located on the top of the IS3480. When the scanner is on,
the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the
current scan and the scanner.

No LEDs

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from
the host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when all lasers are
turned off for any reason.

Steady Blue

When the laser is active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will
remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

Steady Blue and Single White Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash
and the scanner will beep once. If the white LED does not flash or the
scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully
read.

Steady White and Blue

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device.
Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when
data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the
information, the scanner’s white LED will remain on until the data can be
transmitted.

Alternating Blue and White Flashes

This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone indicates
that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.

Steady White, Blue Off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.

19

SCANNER OPERATION

Failure Mode Indicators

Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone

This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure.
Return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

Flashing Blue and White and Two Razzberry Tones

This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the
unit to an authorized service center for repair.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the
scanner has an electronic failure. Return the unit to an authorized service
center for repair.

Three Beeps - On Power Up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the nonvolatile memory that
holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit to an authorized
service center for repair.

XON/XOFF or D/E, verify that
the host cable and host are
supporting the handshaking
properly.

Verify that the scanner’s data
format matches the format
required by the host.
Make sure that the scanner is
connected to the proper host
port.

The type of printer and/or the
printer settings could be the
problem.

Check the print mode or change
the printer settings. For
example, change to econo mode
or high speed.

Check if it is a check digit,
character or border problem.

Check if check digits are set
properly.

The minimum symbol
length setting does not
work with the bar
code.

Check if the correct minimum
symbol length is set.

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE

The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of
Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to
quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of firmware. It requires the use of a
personal computer running Windows 95 or greater and the use of a serial port.
The user merely connects the scanner to a serial port on the PC, launches the
MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.

Each IS3480, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can
be upgraded. In other words, all RS232 (-41), keyboard wedge (-47), light pen
(-41), laser emulation (-00), OCIA (-9), IBM 468X/469X (-11), low speed HID
USB (-38), low speed POS USB (-39), integrated full speed USB (-40), and
RS232, TTL (-102) units can be upgraded. To upgrade all units, a power supply
and PowerLink cable
(

MLPN 54-54014) are required.

RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable
(MLPN 53-53xxx-3 or 54-54xxx-3).

The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user
must first select the file. Once the file is selected and verified, the scanner is
ready to be upgraded. Press the “Flash Scanner” button to upgrade the scanner.
The unit will go into a “flash mode” – both the blue and white LEDs will be on.
The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for
details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal
one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not upgrade
properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

MetroSet2 incorporates all functions that were previously in Meteor.
