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)

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.

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  
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.  
18  
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.

The unit scans  
a bar code, but  
locks up after  
the first scan  
(the white LED  
stays on).  
If the scanner is setup to support  
ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS,  
XON/XOFF or D/E, verify that  
the host cable and host are  
supporting the handshaking  
properly.  
The scanner is  
configured to support  
some form of host  
handshaking but is not  
receiving the signal.  
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.

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

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 is upgradeable, regardless of the version number or communication  
protocol. All RS232 (-41), keyboard wedge (-47), light pen (-41), OCIA (-9), IBM  
468X/469X (-11), low speed USB (-38), and RS232 TTL, Laser Emulation (-104)  
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 53-53000-3 or 54-54000-3).  
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.

LASER AND PRODUCT SAFETY  
Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified  
herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances should the  
customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the laser beam,  
even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to  
look into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser light exposure. The use of  
optical instruments with the laser equipment will increase eye hazard.  
Atención  
La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de  
los especificados aquí, pueden provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna  
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni intentar  
mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el  
escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a  
la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo láser puede incrementar el  
riesgo para la vista.  
Attention  
L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner  
de graves irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le  
scanner ou le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, même si vous croyez  
que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce  
faisant, vous vous exposez à une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi  
d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque d'endommagement de  
la vision.  
Achtung  
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder  
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen  
Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den  
Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals  
den Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer  
gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser  
Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.  
Attenzione  
L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel  
presente Manuale può provocare delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non  
deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai il  
raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per  
guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser  
rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di  
danni alla vista.
