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, six 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, three 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 three 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.

CONFIGURATION MODES

The IS3480 Series scanner has three modes of configuration.

• Bar Codes
The IS3480 can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in the
Single-Line Configuration Guide or the Supplemental Configuration Guide.
The manuals are available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.

• MetroSet2
This user-friendly Windows®-based configuration program allows you to
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired imager options. MetroSet2 is available
for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.

• Serial Programming
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. Serial
programming mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of
commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are
equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide.

32
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
The IS3480 is part of Honeywell's line of scanners with flash upgradeable
firmware. The upgrade process requires, a new firmware file supplied to the
customer by a customer service representative and Honeywell's MetroSet2
software. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an
available RS232 serial or USB port is required to complete the upgrade.

Do not use the standard cable supplied with Keyboard Wedge or

RS485 IS3480 interface kits for firmware upgrades. If using USB or
RS232 for the upgrade process, the standard USB or RS232 cable
provided with the scanner can be used.

To upgrade the firmware in the IS3480:

1. Plug the scanner into a serial communication port on the host system.
2. Start the MetroSet2 software.
3. Click on the plus sign (+) next to POS Scanners to expand the supported
scanner list.
4. Choose the Quantum E/T from the list.
5. Click on the Configure Quantum E/T Scanner button.
6. Choose Flash Utility from the options list located on the left side of the
screen.
7. Click on the Open File button in the Flash Utility window.
8. Locate and open the flash upgrade file supplied.
9. Select the COM port that the scanner is connected to on the host system.
10. Verify the settings listed in the Flash Utility window.
11. Click on the Flash Scanner button to begin the flash upgrade.
12. A message will appear on the screen when the upgrade is complete.

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..

EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE

(WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM A CLAIM BASED ON
CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT PAID TO HII FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON
LIABILITY SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HII

LOSSES, OR DAMAGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
