Preface
This N-4060 is the continuation of the excellent optical design experience and
with a new back-end design, to create an outstanding product performance and
reliability. This scanner features high inerrability, flexibility, scanning, and
decoding capability. It is ideally suited for supermarkets, pharmacies, petrol
stations, and other similar retail stores.
Based on the standard product reliability, the product design concept is fully
focused on user’s context and mode. It also reduces time and cost.
Our solutions provide instant and accurate scanning, making the checkout
process more efficient for you and more convenient for your customers.
zReduce checkout lines at busy times, including weekends and holidays.
zCreate additional points-of-sale anywhere in the store by enabling sales
associates to access POS systems in real-time and complete transactions
on the store floor.
zTrue presentation scanning, with Omni-directional and pass-by scan
capabilities offer a faster and more natural way of working.
The N-4060 reads all popular barcode symbologies, and supports a wide range
of scan pattern. In addition, this scanner also provides an aggressive first-pass
scanning, reducing the time that takes to scan products, increasing customer
satisfaction and employee efficiency. Another important feature of this scanner
is its programmable sleep mode which is designed to save power on this
scanner. If the scanner is not used within a programmable period of time, the
scanner switches off automatically. The scanner can be re-activated by pressing
the Sleep/Wake Button. The N-4060 is available in two color versions, both
supporting multiple interfaces for communication with any host system. The
multiple interface versions are: RS-232 + USB + P-USB + Keyboard
Wedge(Option).
This manual contains two chapters and six appendices. The first chapter
describes this scanner and its general features. The description for installation
can be found in the second chapter. Precisely follow the instructions for the
installation of the scanner. Default settings can be changed with the barcode
labels from the Configuration Guide that came with the scanner. Appendix A
gives the pin definition for the Data ports of the scanner. The pin definition may
be required when you want to make a new cable for communication with the

POS/computer. Technical specifications of this scanner can be found in
Appendix B. Refer to Appendix C for the interface cable types. For maintaining
the scanner and controlling the scanner from the POS system, they can be
found in Appendix D & E. Refer to Appendix F for troubleshooting if the scanner
is not working properly.

Spanish:
El scanner reune las normas de seguridad IEC 825-1 (1993) para un producto laser de Clase 1. Y
también reune las normas U.S. 21CFR1040 que se aplican a un producto laser de Clase IIa. Se debe

English:
The scanner complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a Class I laser product. It also
complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term viewing of
direct laser light.
Optical:
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include
binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.
Radiant Energy:
The scanner uses a low-power laser diode operating at 630…670 nm in an opto-mechanical scanner
resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power. Laser light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the
window through a 7 mm (0.28 in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 µW
per CDRH Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner,
as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8 mW could be accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewer:
The scanner window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed on this product.
A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause
emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this
occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be
disconnected from its power source immediately.
Adjustments:
Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove the scanner’s
protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light
exposure.
