Cable Removal

1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the side of the

QuantumEnear the cable (item 5 in figure 1a).

2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown.

3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin)

into the ‘pin-hole’.

4. You will hear a faint ‘click’ when the cable lock is

released. Pull gently on the strain-relief of the

PowerLink cable to remove it from the scanner.

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 a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.

2. Gently wipe the scanner window.

INSTALLATION

RS232, RS232 TTL, Light Pen or Laser Emulation

1. Turn off the host device.

2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end

of the PowerLink cable into the

10-pin socket on the IS3480.

3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the

PowerLink cable to the host device.

Note: Skip to step 6 if receiving

power from the host device.

4. Plug the external power supply into

the power jack on the PowerLink

cable.

Check the AC input

requirements of the power

supply to make sure the

voltage matches the AC

outlet. The outlet must be

located near the equipment

and be easily accessible.

5. Connect AC power to the transformer.

6. 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. A software driver and

correct configuration setting are also required for proper

communication to occur.

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.
