Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. Spray glass cleaner onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window. Figure 1. Scanner Components ESCRIPTION...
Connect AC power to the transformer. 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.

For additional information contact a Metrologic customer service representative. 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. To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN/IEC 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

Notes for Laser Emulation IS3480-00 Only The IS3480-00 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.
• 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.
Page 17
To decode and transmit the bar code, press and release the button. The scanner will beep once. To reactivate the primary scan pattern, double click the button or after 10-seconds of no-scanning the unit will automatically reactivate the primary pattern.
Page 18
ECONDARY LICK ODE WITH The primary scan pattern is active when the scanner starts. To activate the secondary scan pattern, press and release the button. The unit will beep once as it decodes and transmits the bar code.
Page 19
To transmit the bar code, release the button. The scanner will beep once. To scan and transmit additional bar codes, repeat steps 2 through 4. The primary scan pattern will automatically reactivate after the button is released and no bar code is present in the scan field.
Page 20
To scan and transmit the bar code, align the laser line over the bar code while continuing to hold down the button. The scanner will beep once to indicate the bar code has been scanned and transmitted.
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 For further information on the sweet spot mode and instructions on how to enable it, refer the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (00-02407).
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).
CANNER PERATION 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.
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.
