Introduction The IS4320-41 ScanKey™ Laser Scanner is a wearable, fully automatic, laser scanning device complete with keypad and LCD. Since the IS4320-41 is positioned on the back of the hand, operators can scan data quickly and easily. This “hands free” scanning increases operator efficiency and work productivity. Traditional hand-held scanners require the operator to interrupt the work flow by picking up the scanner and returning it to its stand.
Theory of Operation The scanning process begins once the infrared (IR) device located behind the window senses an object in the scan field. The IR sensor is active as long as power is applied to the unit. When the IR sensor detects an object, the display reads "READY TO SCAN" and the cursor flashes to show that the laser is "ON." When the laser decodes a bar code, the scanner transmits the data to the host system and then "beeps" to indicate the decoding is complete.
Unpacking List The following will be in the shipping carton, with the purchase of a ScanKey™ scanner: ! Installation and User’s Guide and Programming Guide ! ScanKey Laser Bar Code Scanner ! Communication Cable ! Glove To order additional items, contact your dealer, distributor or call Metrologic’s Customer Service Department.
Scanner Installation Important Note: 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 60950. 1. "Power off" the host system. 2. Connect the communication cable to the host device. 3. Plug the scanner cable to the communication cable. Note: The pin assignments for the scanner cable are listed on page 29. 4. "Power on" the host system.
Parts of the Scanner Figure 1 LCD Display Displays the scanned or typed information on one line and a message indicating scanner status on another. When the cursor flashes, the laser is "on." Keypad Used to enter and transmit numeric and alpha characters. Alpha characters can be entered by pressing two keys in an assigned sequence. Input/Output Window Sends and receives the IR signal and Laser beam.
Audible Indicators The scanner provides sounds to signal certain conditions. To change the volume (three settings are available) or turn the beeper off, refer to the Programming Guide section: Beeper Tones. One Beep When the scanner first receives power, diagnostic prompts are displayed and then the scanner "beeps." After that, each time the scanner successfully reads a bar code, it "beeps." Razzberry Tone If, upon power up, the scanner emits a razzberry tone, then the scanner has failed diagnostics.
Visual Indicators The following display messages show the scanner status. READY TO SCAN The scanner is operational and ready to scan a bar code. PROGRAM MODE ENABLED Scanning the Enter/Exit Program mode bar code alternately enables and disables the program mode. When the program mode is enabled, this message is displayed. MAKING KEY ENTRY Keypad data is being entered. (This message disappears when the ENTER key or the CLR key is pressed).
Entering Data Using the Keypad The display clears with the first key pressed and "MAKING KEY ENTRY" displays on line two of the LED display. Key-in numbers of the bar code, then press enter. The scanner will "beep" to indicate that the data was sent to the host computer. To make changes while keying in the numbers, use the up and down arrow keys. The up arrow acts the same as the space bar on a computer keyboard.
Mode Descriptions Mode 1: Metrologic Default Mode* This mode’s main function is to display and transmit and is not suitable for host prompts. In this mode scanned-in data will be displayed on line 1 of the LCD display and truncated to 20 characters. The first 20 characters are displayed on line 1, the 2nd line is cleared with the 21st character and will display the remaining characters entered. The entire length of the bar code will be transmitted up to and including the 40th character.
Command Processing Set for ScanKey Mode 1 (Default Mode), 3 and 4 To enter Mode 1, scan reserved bar code Recall Defaults DF1 To enter Mode 3, scan reserved bar code R96 To exit Mode 3, scan reserved bar code R97 or DF1 To enter Mode 4, scan reserved bar code RAD To exit Mode, scan reserved bar code RAE or DF1 to recall Commands sent from the host system to enable/disable scanner functions: Function Command x, y, z To set activation range STX R x ETX (02H 52H x 03H) To set bar length STX L x y ETX (

Note: Reserve code 94 must also be enabled.
Label Detection L (4CH) An L will be transmitted when in Detect and Notify mode. The L is in response to the IR sensor sensing an object in its field. This should be used in conjunction with the A command to activate the laser and scan the object.
Keypad values for Mode 4: INTACTIX/INTERCEPT Program The value in the upper right-hand corner of the keypad represents the current designation or impression found on the keypad. The actual assignment of the key is given by the other values found on the keypad. When depressed, each key will be displayed on the second line of the LCD display. The assignment of the upper or left value of each key is called by simply pressing that key. ie.

Label Locations The scanner is a CDRH Class II laser system. A CDRH Class II label will be at the bottom of the unit with the serial number label. An “Avoid exposure laser light emitted from this aperture” label will be on the side of the unit.
IR Sensor Activation The scanning process initiates by an infrared (IR) sensor located behind the output window. In short range mode the signal it projects extends approximately 4" - 7" beyond the output window. In long range mode the signal it projects extends approximately 9" - 13" beyond the output window. The IR sensor remains active as long as power is applied to the unit. When the unit remains dormant for a time, the laser will turn off. In this stage, the scanner’s computer is on “standby.
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, nonabrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the output window. Applications and Protocols The model number on each scanner includes the scanner number and communications protocol.
