    Introduction The IS4320-41 ScanKey™ Laser Scanner is a wearable, fully automatic, laser scanning device complete with keypad and LCD. Since the IS4320-41 is positioned on the back of the hand, operators can scan data quickly and easily. This “hands free” scanning increases operator efficiency and work productivity.
  • Page 6: Theory Of Operation

    Theory of Operation The scanning process begins once the infrared (IR) device located behind the window senses an object in the scan field. The IR sensor is active as long as power is applied to the unit. When the IR sensor detects an object, the display reads "READY TO SCAN"...

  • Page 22: Ir Sensor Activation

    IR Sensor Activation The scanning process initiates by an infrared (IR) sensor located behind the output window. In short range mode the signal it projects extends approximately 4" - 7" beyond the output window. In long range mode the signal it projects extends approximately 9" - 13" beyond the output window. The IR sensor remains active as long as power is applied to the unit.
  • Page 23: Maintenance

    Maintenance Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, nonabrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the output window. Applications and Protocols The model number on each scanner includes the scanner number and communications protocol.
