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.
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).
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Honeywell representative to preserve the limited warranty terms on page 47. Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces The unit has no LEDs, beeper or motor spin. No power is being supplied to the scanner. Check the transformer, outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the scanner. The unit has no LEDs and/or beeper. No power is being supplied to the scanner from host.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution The scanner is configured to support some form of host handshaking but is not receiving the signal. 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 bar code may have been printed incorrectly. Check if it is a check digit, character or border problem. The scanner is not configured correctly for the type of bar code.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Cause(s) Solution RS232 Only The unit powers up OK and scans OK but does not communicate properly to the host. The com port at the host is not working or is not configured properly. The cable is not connected to the proper com port. Check to make sure that the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the communication port match and that the program is looking for RS232 data. The com port is not operating properly.
