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 software upgrades. 
 
Each IS3480 is upgradeable, regardless of the version number or communication 
protocol.  All RS232 (-41), keyboard wedge (-47), light pen (-41), OCIA (-9), IBM 
468X/469X (-11), low speed USB (-38), and RS232 TTL, Laser Emulation (-104) 
units can be upgraded.  To upgrade all units, a power supply and PowerLink 
cable (
MLPN
 54-54014) are required. 
 
 
RS232 units can be upgraded using the standard PowerLink cable 
(
MLPN
 53-53000-3 or 54-54000-3). 
 
The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach.  The user 
must first select the file.  Once the file is selected and verified, the scanner is 
ready to be upgraded.  Press the “Flash Scanner” button to upgrade the scanner.  
The unit will go into a “flash mode” – both the blue and white 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.
