INTRODUCTION

Metrologic’s ScanQuest®Engines are miniature laser bar code scanners

designed to be used in OEM applications and decode equipped OEM devices.

The ScanQuest series provides fast, accurate, reliable scanning in a compact,

lightweight package.

Two engine models are available: the IS4125 and the IS4110. The IS4125 has

built-in decoding for versatile OEM operations, while the IS4110 non-decode

engine interfaces directly with decode-equipped OEM devices*. The IS4125 has

flash upgradeable firmware.

* Note: The manufacturer of the end equipment must register with agencies

such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The

specifications required for registration are not obtainable until the

OEM manufacturer uses the ScanQuest Engine in its final

configuration. Therefore, it becomes the responsibility of the

manufacturer who incorporates the scan engine into their product to

comply with all federal laser safety regulations. The manufacturer

must submit a Laser Product Report for the FDA in the US or

similar forms as required by other countries. Metrologic will assist

its customers in complying with the necessary procedures.

Theory of Operation

An infrared (IR) device located behind the scanner window initiates the scanning

process. The IR sensor is active as long as the unit is being powered. When the

laser decodes a bar code, the scan engine transmits the data to the host system.

If the same bar code stays in the field after successfully scanning, the laser stays

on for approximately 4 seconds and then turns off. This prevents unintentional

reads of the same bar code. To read the same symbol more than once, remove

the object from the scan field for approximately 1 second and then present the

symbol again.

If the bar code and object is removed from the field during the scanning process,

the laser turns off. In this stage, the scan engine’s computer remains on

“standby”.

However, if the object stays in the field, the laser remains on for up to 2.5

seconds trying to detect the bar code. To reactivate the scanning sequence,

remove the object.

Scanner window: This aperture emits laser light.

Infrared Object Sensor: When a specified time has elapsed without any

scanning, the unit will enter a “standby” mode. To

reactivate the unit, present an object in front of the

IR (infrared) sensor.

Ribbon Cables: This IS4110 has a 10 position FFC/FPC cable and the

IS4125 has a 12-position FFC/FPC cable. Refer to

Scanner Termination starting on page 15.

Label Locations

The serial number label is located on the bottom of the unit. On the top of the

unit is the “avoid exposure” and model number label.

The following are examples of these labels:

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, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.

2. Gently wipe the scanning window.

IR SENSOR ACTIVATION

An infrared (IR) sensor located behind the scanner window initiates the scanning

process. In short range mode the signal projects approximately 101.61 mm –

177.84 mm (4" – 7") beyond the output window. In long range mode the signal

projects approximately 228.61 mm – 330.21 mm (9" – 13") beyond the output

window. The IR sensor remains active as long as the unit is powered.

When the unit remains dormant for a time, the laser will turn off. In this stage, the

scan engine’s computer is on “standby”. To reactivate the unit, present an object

within the scan field.
