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.
INTRODUCTION Accessories The following are available: IS4125 Decoded Scan Engine Part Numbers Decode Demo Kit 45729 (Includes RS232 adapter cable – MCA951 to 9 PC port) MLPN* DESCRIPTION MANUFACTURE/PART NO.
INTRODUCTION Components of the ScanQuest Scan Engine Figure 1: IS4110 Figure 2: IS4125 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.
INTRODUCTION 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: Figure 3: 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.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS Specifications for the Supplemental Window The IS4100 ScanQuest series was designed for integration into OEM equipment. The device is designed to function at its maximum performance capabilities as shipped. If the scanner is integrated into a system that requires a supplemental window in front of it, its performance will be altered to some degree.
DEFAULT SETTINGS Many functions of the IS4125 decode scan engine can be configured or enabled/disabled. The decode engine is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions. The default parameter of the decode scan engine has an asterisk (*) in the charts on the following pages. If an asterisk is not in the default column then the default setting is OFF or disabled. Every interface does not support every parameter.

SCANNER TERMINATIONS IS4110 Connector Pin Assignments Metrologic provides a low profile ZIF 10-pin connector that accepts an FPC/FFC cable with a 1.0 mm Pitch and a 0.3 mm end thickness. This cable is available from Metrologic in various lengths. Figure 9 The pin assignments are as follows: Pin Signal Name Function 1 VCC 2 Data Out 3 Range Select 4 Scan Sense TTL output. The signal pulses high once for each scan cycle (i.e. one scan in each direction). There are 35 scan pulses per second.
SCAN SENSE TIMING IS4110 Timing Diagram The SCAN SENSE pulse occurs once for each flip cycle. A flip cycle represents one scan in each direction (right to left then left to right from the scanner perspective). The HIGH to LOW transition of the SCAN SENSE signal initiates the start of the flip cycle. The frequency of the SCAN SENSE pulses is dependent on the frequency of the internal flipper. This varies from unit to unit from 26 Hz to 30 Hz.
