See power source caution statement on page 7 of this manual.
To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10,
section (f)(6) the scanner must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a
switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host system containing a
switch that will disable power to the scanner.

SCANNER CONFIGURATION TO THE HOST SYSTEM
The IS4225 is shipped from the factory pre-configured to a set of default
parameters. It may be necessary to change the default parameters to match the
host system’s requirements or to enable additional scanner functions. For a list
of possible parameter settings, refer to the Default Settings section of this guide.
To modify the scanner’s default parameters follow the steps below using the
bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide
(PN 00-02544).
1. Scan the
ENTER CONFIGURATION MODE bar code to enter configuration mode.
The scanner will beep three times.
2. Scan the bar code(s) for the desired parameter(s).
The scanner will beep once.
3. Scan the
EXIT CONFIGURATION MODE bar code to exit and save the new
parameter settings. The scanner will beep three times.
If during the configuration process, there is a need to return the
scanner to the original factory settings, scan the recall defaults bar
code in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide. All settings selected
during that session or any previous sessions are discarded when you
scan the recall defaults code.
The IS4225 with RS232 interface can also be configured using MetroSet®2which
is a PC-based utility software and available for download at
www.honeywellaidc.com. In addition, this interface can be configured using serial
configuration mode. For details, refer to the MetroSelect®Single-Line
Configuration Guide (PN 00-02544.)


Object Detection Device
If a specified time has elapsed without any scanning, the unit will
enter a “standby” mode. To reactivate the unit, place an object in
front of the object detection field. The red LED will turn on when
the scanner is ready to scan.
 Communication/Power Cable
This cable’s termination is application dependent.

VISUAL INDICATORS
There is a red and a green LED located on the top of the scanner. When the
scanner is on, the flashing or constant, illumination of the LEDs indicates the
status of the current scan and the scanner.
No Red LED Illumination of the LEDs will not occur if the scanner has
remained dormant for a specified time and the scanner is
not receiving power from the host. To reactivate the unit,
direct the output window up then down toward the object.
Red Flash;
Green Flash;
Steady Red
When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will
flash, followed by the green LED, and then the unit will
beep once. The red LED will stay on after it flashes once.
Steady Red When the laser is on, the red LED will be on. This occurs
when an object is detected in the scan field. If the scanner
cannot detect a bar code within approximately 2.5 seconds,
the unit will go into standby mode then the red LED will
shut off indicating that the laser is no longer on.
Steady Red
LED; Green
Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the green
LED will flash and the unit will beep once. If the green LED
does not flash or the scanner does not beep, then the bar
code was not successfully read.
Repetitive Red
LED Flashing
The red LED will flash repeatedly when the object detection
device is detecting a stationary object in the scan field. To
eliminate this disturbance, direct the scan window toward a
different location or remove the stationary object from the
object detection field.
Steady Green
LED
After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to
the host device. When the host is not ready to receive the
information, the green LED will remain on until data can
transmit.

AUDIBLE INDICATORS
The scanner provides sounds to signal certain conditions. To change the volume
(four settings are available) or turn the beeper off, refer to Scanner Operation:
Beeper Options in the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (PN 00-
02544).
One Beep When the scanner first receives power, the red LED will
flash, followed by the green LED, and then the scanner
will beep once. After the scanner performs this start-up
sequence, the scanner is ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the
green light will flash and the unit will beep once. If the
green LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep,
then the bar code read is not successful.
Razzberry Tone If, upon power up, the scanner emits a razzberry tone the
scanner has failed diagnostics.
The scanner can be configured to emit a
razzberry tone when the timeout occurs during
communication between the host and scanner.
Refer to Scanner Operation: Communication
Timeout Options in the MetroSelect Single-Line
Guide.
Three Beeps When entering configuration mode, the green LED will
flash three times while the scanner simultaneously beeps
three times. When exiting configuration mode, the same
visual and audible indications will occur. After the
sequence is completed, the red LED will turn off.
The scanner can be programmed to emit three
beeps when the timeout occurs during
communication between the host and scanner.
Refer to Scanner Operation: Communication
Timeout Options in the MetroSelect Single-Line
Guide.

LABELS
Each IS4225 has a serial number label and a laser class label on the bottom of
the unit. These labels provide important information like; date and location of
manufacture, model number, serial number, caution statements and laser class.
There is also text molded into the top of the case near the window that says,
“AVOID EXPOSURE - laser light emitted from this aperture”. The following
Figure shows examples of these labels*.
Figure 2. Caution and Serial Number Labels*
* Labels not shown to scale.
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 60950-1.
7
To maintain compliance with standard CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm EN/IEC
60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited
power source.

MAINTENANCE
Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance.
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-
abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.

OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE
An object detection device located behind the window initiates the scanning
process. The device is active as long as power is applied to the unit. When the
device detects an object, the green LED will flash. When the laser decodes a bar
code, the scanner transmits the data to the host system and emits a beep to
show that decoding is complete. The object detection range is configurable for
two ranges.
•Short Range Activation
The object detection device initiates the scan process if it senses an
object anywhere from the face of the window out to
approximately 4" to 7".
•Long Range Activation
The object detection device initiates the scan process if it senses an
object anywhere from the face of the window out to
approximately 9" to 13".
If the object is removed from the field during the scanning process, the laser
turns off and the scanner re-enters "standby" mode. However, if the object stays
in the field, the laser remains on for up to 2.5 seconds trying to detect another bar
code. If the scanner does not detect a bar code, the scanner re-enters "standby"
mode. To reactivate the scanning sequence, remove the object and present
another.
If the same symbol stays in the field after a successful scan, the laser stays on
for approximately 7.5 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.

OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE
Figure 4. Object Detection Field
Please note certain ambient light conditions may interfere with the object
detection mechanism, resulting in false activation of the scanner. To mitigate the
problem, please try one of the following suggestions:
1. Avoid mounting the scanner directly facing the ambient light source.
2. Avoid mounting the scanner facing a light-colored or reflective surface.
3. Avoid mounting the scanner towards a surface at a distance close to the
long range (9" – 11") of object detection
4. Configure the object detection range to short (4" – 7").
