S CANNER I NSTALLATION
1. Turn off power to the host system.
2. Connect the communication cable to the proper port on the host device.
3. Turn on power to the host system.
When the IS4225 first receives power, the red LED will flash, the
green LED will flash, and then the scanner will beep once.
See power source caution statement on page 10 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.

S CANNER C ONFIGURATION TO THE H OST S YSTEM
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
(
MLPN 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.

When a bar code is read successfully, the green LED will flash.
 Red LED
When the red LED is illuminated, the laser is on.
 Red Output Window (Laser Aperture)

Infrared Sensor (IR)
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 IR sensor. The red LED will turn on when the scanner
is ready to scan.
 Communication/Power Cable
This cable’s termination is application dependent.

5
V ISUAL I NDICATORS
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 IR sensor 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 IR 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.

S IGNAUX O PTIQUES
Sur la partie supérieure du scanner se trouvent une diode LED rouge et une
diode LED verte. Quand le scanner est sous tension, les diodes rouge et verte
clignotantes ou allumées vous informent sur l'état de palpage et de scanner.
Ni la diode
rouge, ni la
diode verte
n'est allumée
Il existe deux raisons possibles pour que les diodes ne
s'allu-ment pas. Si le scanner ne reçoit pas d'énergie de
l'ordinateur PC, les diodes ne s'allument pas. Quand le
scanner reçoit de l'énergie et ne s'allume cependant pas, le
scanner est resté pendant une certaine période sans être
utilisé et le laser et lemoteur sont désactivés. Pour
réactiver l'unité, déplacer un objet devant le palpeur
infrarouge ou prendre le scanner et diriger la fenêtre de
palpage vers le bas.
Diode rouge
clignotante;
diode verte
clignotante;
diode rouge
reste allumée
Quand le scanner reçoit pour la première fois de l'énergie,
la diode rouge se met d'abord à clignoter, puis la diode
verte. Ensuite, le scanner émet un bip sonore unique. Une
fois cette séquence de démarrage effectuée, la diode
rouge reste allumée pendant un certain temps indiquant
que le laser est en service. Quand le scanner ne détecte
aucun objet, la diode rouge et le laser s'éteignent.
Diode rouge
reste allumée
Quand le laser est activé, la diode rouge s'allume
également. C'est par exemple le cas quand un objet se
trouve devant la fenêtre de palpage. Si, en l'espace de 2,
5 secondes, aucun code barres n'est détecté, la diode
rouge s'éteint, ce qui signifie que le laser est désactivé.
Diode rouge
reste allumée;
diode verte
clignotante
Après lecture avec succès d'un code barres par le scanner,
la diode verte se met à clignoter, suivie d'un bip sonore
unique. Si la diode verte ne clignote pas ou quand aucun
bip sonore n'est émis, cela signifie que le code barres n'a
pas pu être lu avec succès.
Clignotement
répété de la
diode rouge
Quand la diode rouge clignote plusieurs fois pendant que
l'appareil repose sur une surface non déplacée, un objet
activant le palpeur infrarouge se trouve devant la fenêtre
de palpage. Ceci peut se produire même quand le scanner
se trouve sur une table ou un reposoir. Pour éliminer ce
défaut, positionner le scanner de façon différente.
Diode verte
reste allumée
Une fois le palpage effectué avec succès, le scanner
transmetles donnéesà l'ordinateur PC. Si ce dernier n'est
pas prêt à recevoir les données, la diode verte du scanner
s'allume jusqu'à ce que les donnés puissent être
transmises.

O PTISCHE A NZEIGEN
Auf der Oberseite des Scanners befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne
Leuchtdiodenanzeige. Ist der Scanner eingeschaltet, so geben Ihnen die
blinkenden oder feststehenden Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast
und Scannerstatus.
Weder rote
oder noch
grüne
Leuchtanzeige
Es gibt zwei mögliche Gründe, weshalb die Leuchtdiodenan
zeigen nicht aufleuchten. Bekommt der Scanner keine Energie
vom PC, leuchten die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht auf. Wenn der
Scanner jedoch Energie bekommt und die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen
dennoch nicht aufleuchten, so ist der Scanner für einen
bestimmten Zeitraum untätig geblieben, und Laser und Motor
sind abgeschaltet. Zur Reaktivierung der Einheit sollten Sie ein
Objekt vor dem Infrarot Sensor hin und herbewegen oder den
Scanner aufnehmen und das Abtastfenster nach unten richten.
Rote
Blinkanzeige;
Grüne
Blinkanzeige;
feststehende
grüne
Leuchtanzeige
Wenn dem Scanner erstmalig Energie zugeführt wird, blinkt
zunächst die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige auf, gefolgt von der
grünen Leuchtdiodenanzeige,und anschließend sendet der
Scanner ein einmaliges Piep-Signal aus. Nach Ausführung
dieser Startsequenz leuchtet die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige für
einen bestimmten Zeitraum auf und zeigt an, daß der Laser
eingeschaltet ist. Wird dem Scanner kein Objekt präsentiert, so
schalten sich die rote Leuchtdiode und der Laser ab.
Feststehende
rote
Leuchtanzeige
Wenn der Laser eingeschaltet ist, leuchtet auch die rote Leucht-
diodenanzeige auf. Dies ist dann der Fall, wenn sich ein Objekt
im Abtastfeld befindet. Wird innerhalb von ca. 2,5 Sekunden kein
Barcode erfaßt, so erlischt die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige, was
bedeutet, daß der Laser nicht mehr eingeschaltet ist.
Feststehende
rote
Leuchtanzeige;
grüne
Blinkanzeige
Nach erfolgreichem Lesen eines Barcodes durch den Scanner
blinkt die grüneLeuchtdiodenanzeige auf, gefolgt von einem
einmaligen Piep-Signal. Falls die grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige
nicht aufblinkt oder der Scanner kein einmaliges Piep-Signal
aussendet, bedeutet dies, daß der Barcode nicht erfolgreich
gelesen werden konnte.
Wiederholte
rote
Blinkanzeigen
Blinkt die rote Leuchtdiodenanzeige mehrmals auf, während das
Gerät auf einer nichtbewegten Fläche liegt, so befindet sich ein
Objekt inner halb des Abtastfeldes,das den Infrarot-Sensor
aktiviert. Dies kann selbst dann vorkommen, wenn der Scanner
auf dem Ladentisch oder dem Ablagegestell liegt. Um diese
Störung zu beseitigen, sollten Sie den Scanner anders
positionieren.
Feststehende
grüne
Leuchtanzeige
Nach erfolgreichem Abtasten überträgt der Scanner die Daten an
den PC. Ist der PC nicht zur Annahme der Daten bereit, so
leuchtet die grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige des Scanners solange
auf, bis die Daten übertragen werden können.

S EGNALI O TTICI
Sulla parte superiore dello scanner si trovano due diodi luminosi: uno rosso e uno
verde. Quando lo scanner è inserito, i diodi luminosi, che possono o essere
accesi in continuazione o lampeggiare, Vi informano sullo stato della scansione e
dell’apparecchio.
Né il diodo
luminoso rosso
né quello verde
sono accesi
Vi sono due possibili cause se i diodi luminosi non sono
accesi. Se lo scanner non viene alimentato dal PC i diodi
luminosi non sono accesi. Se invece lo scanner è
alimentato e ciònonostante Idiodi luminosi non sono accesi,
lo scanner è rimasto disattivato per un determinato periodo
e laser e motore sono spenti. Per riattivare l’unità dovreste
muovere un oggetto davanti al sensore a infrarossi oppure
prendere lo scanner e rivolgere il finestrino di scansione
verso il basso.
Il diodo luminoso
rosso lampeggia;
il diodo luminoso
verde lampeggia;
il diodo luminoso
verde è acceso
Quando lo scanner viene alimentato per la prima volta,
lampeggia dapprima il diodo luminoso rosso e quindi quello
verde. Poi lo scanner emette un unico segnale beep Dopo
l’esecuzione di questa sequenza di avvio il diodo luminoso
rosso si accende per un determinato periodo ed indica che
il laser è inserito. Se allo scanner non viene presentato
nessun o ggetto, il diodo luminoso rosso e il laser si
spengono.
Il diodo
luminoso rosso
è acceso
Quando il laser è attivato, è acceso anche il diodo
luminoso rosso. Questo si ha quando un oggetto si trova
nella zona di scansione. Se entro ca. 2, 5 secondi non
viene registrato nessun codice a barre, il diodo luminoso
rosso si spegne; ciò significa che il laser non è più attivato.
Il diodo luminoso
rosso è acceso; il
diodo luminoso
verde lampeggia
Dopo la lettura riuscita di un codice a barre da parte dello scanner il
diodo luminoso verde lampeggia e quindi viene emesso un unico
segnale beep. Se il diodo luminoso verde non lampeggia oppure lo
scanner non emette un segnale beep, ciò significa che la lettura del
codice a barre non è riuscita.
Il diodo luminoso
verde è acceso
Dopo la scansione riuscita lo scanner trasmette i dati al
PC. Se il PC non è pronto per accettare i dati, il diodo
luminoso verde dello scanner è acceso fino a che i dati
possono essere trasmessi.
Il diodo
luminoso rosso
lampeggia
ripetutamente
Se il diodo luminoso rosso lampeggia ripetutamente
mentre l’app-arecchio si trova su una superficie che non si
muove, vi è un oggetto all’ interno della zona di scansione
che attiva il sensore a infrarossi. Ciò può essere addirittura
il caso quando lo scanner si trova sul banco oppure nel suo
supporto. Per eliminare questa anomalia basta cambiare
la posizione dello scanner.

A UDIBLE I NDICATORS
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 (
MLPN 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.

L ABELS
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.
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.

11
M AINTENANCE
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 output window.

12
I NFRARED (IR) O BJECT S ENSOR
An infrared (IR) device located behind the window initiates the scanning process.
The IR sensor is active as long as power is applied to the unit. When the IR
sensor 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 IR sensor range is configurable for two
ranges.
•Short Range Activation
The IR signal 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 IR signal 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.

13
Scan Field
The depth of field for the scanner is 12.7 mm to 203 mm (.5" to 8") from the face of
the output window for .33 mm (13 mil) Bar Codes.
