INDICATORS

Audible Indicators
When the IS220 is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scan engine.

One Beep
The scan engine will beep once when it first receives power, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. The red
LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The scan engine is ready to scan.

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if configured to do so).
If the LED does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Indicators on the next page.

Two Beeps - On Power Up

When a Flash ROM upgrade is needed, the scanner will beep twice followed by alternating flashes of the red and green LEDs.

Three Beeps - During Operation

When the scan engine enters configuration mode, the red LED will flash and the unit will simultaneously beep three times.
The green and red LEDs will continue to flash while in configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode the scanner will
beep three times and the LEDs will stop flashing.

When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.

When using one-code programming, the scanner will beep three times (in the current selected tone), followed by a short pause
then by a high tone and a low tone. This indicates the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the scan
engine.

Three Beeps - On Power Up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to Failure Indicators on the next page.

Visual Indicators
Steady Green
When the laser is active the green LED is illuminated. The green LED
will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.

During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and turn off. During
this period, the green LED will remain illuminated.

Steady Green and a Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash
and the scanner will beep once. If the red LED does not flash or the
scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been
successfully read (default mode).

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful scan the scanner transmits the data to the host device.
Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner
when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the
information, the scanner’s red LED will remain on until the data can be
transmitted.

Steady Green and Flashing Red

This indicates that the scan engine is in configuration mode.

Steady Red, Green Off

This indicates that the laser is off and the scan engine is waiting for Figure 4. Green and Red LEDs
communication from the host.

5
INDICATORS

Failure Indicators
Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the
failure condition. If the laser subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (left or right) will be shut down and an error
indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display. This error stays on the display until corrected. If the remaining
subsystem is still operational, scanning will continue using the operational components.

Flashing Green and Red and Two Razzberry Tones

This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the
failure condition. If the motor subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (left or right) will be shut down and an error
indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display. This error stays on the display until corrected. If the remaining
subsystem is still operational, scanning will continue using the still operational components.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure. Return the unit
for repair at an authorized service center.

Three Beeps - On Power Up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed.
Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

INDICATORS

Diagnostic Indicator Display

There is a two-digit error code display located on the center printed circuit board (see illustration below). The following is a list of
possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance.

Error
Description
Code
01 Reserved

RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is

02 tested as faulty. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service
center.

PROGRAM ERROR – The scanner’s software program is failing.

03
Return the unit for repair.

CONFIGURATION ERROR – The non-volatile configuration memory

did not agree with the data last saved. Default configuration data is then
used and the scanner continues operating. This error is also
05
accompanied by 3 beeps. This error will remain during operation as a
reminder that this power cycle is scanning against a default-generated
configuration.

COMMUNICATION ERROR - The RS232 data line is being held active.

This causes the scanner to read a “break” signal constantly and
continuous attempts are made to enter MetroSet configuration mode. A
short on the RX Data line can cause this condition. It can also be the
06
result of a laptop in power save mode. The scanner will abort attempts
to enter configuration mode after a short timeout. The scanner can
automatically recover from this condition once the short in the RX Data
line is corrected.

LASER #1 (left) ERROR – The laser in the left scanning subsystem

denotes a failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the laser
operation. If the laser error persists, the left scanning subsystem will be
21 shut down and error code 21 will remain on the diagnostic indicator
display. If the right scanning subsystem is still healthy, it will remain Figure 5. Diagnostic Indicator Display
active and scanning until the unit can be scheduled for repair at a
Metrologic authorized service center.

LASER #2 (right) ERROR – The laser in the right scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three
times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, the right scanning subsystem will be shut down and
22
error code 22 will remain on the diagnostic indicator display. If the left scanning subsystem is still healthy, it will
remain active and scanning until the unit can be scheduled for repair at a Metrologic authorized service center.

MOTOR #1 (left) ERROR – The motor in the left scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three
times to correct the motor operation. If the motor error persists, the left scanning subsystem will be shut down and
31
error code 31 will remain on the diagnostic indicator display. If the right scanning subsystem is still healthy, it will
remain active and scanning until the unit can be scheduled for repair at a Metrologic authorized service center.

MOTOR #2 (right) ERROR – The motor in the right scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three
times to correct the motor operation. If the motor error persists, the right scanning subsystem will be shut down and
32
error code 32 will remain on the diagnostic indicator display. If the left scanning subsystem is still healthy, it will
remain active and scanning until the unit can be scheduled for repair at a Metrologic authorized service center.

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE

The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of Flash-based scanners. This program allows the
user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of firmware. It requires the use of a personal
computer running Windows 95 or greater and the use of a serial port. The user merely connects the scanner to a serial port on the
PC, launches the MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new firmware upgrades.

The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user must first select the file and then once the file is
selected verified the scanner is ready to be upgraded. Press the button to upgrade the scanner. The unit will go into a “flash
mode” – both the LEDs will be on. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for details. When the
upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not
upgrade properly. Contact a Metrologic service representative for additional assistance.

MetroSet2 incorporates all functions that were previously in Meteor.

light exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at
the laser beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the
device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser light exposure. The use of optical instruments with the laser equipment will
increase eye hazard.
Atención
La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de los especificados aquí, pueden
provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del
escáner. Ni intentar mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el escáner para
examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos
con el equipo láser puede incrementar el riesgo para la vista.
Attention
L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner de graves irradiations. Le client ne
doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le scanner ou le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser,
même si vous croyez que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous
vous exposez à une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente
le risque d'endommagement de la vision.
Achtung
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder Verfahren kann eine gefährliche
Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten.
Sehen Sie niemals in den Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals den
Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen.
Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.
Attenzione
L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel presente Manuale può provocare
delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser.
Non guardate mai il raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare
dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati
con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
