1  GENERAL 
1.1.  General Description  
The  IER 602  is  primarily  designed  for  airport  applications  to  control  access  to 
boarding gates and check-in areas or can be used for access control to security 
check  points.  The  reader  can  also  be  integrated  into  other  public  space 
applications, dedicated, for example, to train stations, museums, stadiums, etc. 
Not  only  is  the  IER  602  capable  of  scanning 1D  and  2D  barcodes  printed  on 
boarding passes, it also reads digital barcodes displayed on cell phone screens. 
Moreover, the IER 602 Reader is able to read Radio Frequency (RF) -enabled 
smart documents. 
An  optional  thermal  printer  can  be  connected  to  the  USB  port  or  one  of  the 
serial  ports  of  the  IER  602  Reader  to  print  out  a  receipt  confirming  that  the 
scanned barcode or RF-enabled document is valid.

3.3.  Barcode Scanning Recommendations 
 IMPORTANT 
When  scanning  barcodes,  it  is  important  to  keep  the  following 
recommendations in mind: 
 Present one single document at a time. 
 Place the barcode face down on and in the center of the scanner 
window. 
 Place the document horizontally on the scanner window without 
moving it. 
 If  thin  paper  documents,  printed  on  both  sides,  need  to  be 
scanned, strong ambient light might enhance paper translucency 
and interfere with correct barcode scanning. 
 Therefore,  IER  recommends  the  use  of  document  media  not 
printed on the back side or at least with a blank zone on the back 
of the barcode area.

3.4.  Reading a Barcoded or RF-Enabled 
Document 
Hold the barcoded or RF-enabled document to be read face down against 
the scan/read window (keeping in mind the recommendations listed page 
14). 
The IER 602 responds by validating or rejecting the document which is 
expressed in the following ways (see Illustrations below):  
  Through a message and a pictogram in the information zone 
  Lighting up in green or red of the du LED light bar

4  MAINTENANCE 
4.1.  Periodic Maintenance 
To ensure optimum bar code reading, it is important to keep the scanner window 
clean. The decision on the periodicity of window cleaning is up to the personnel 
in charge of the reader. 
IMPORTANT: 
To clean  the  glass  of  the scanner  window, exclusively  use  a soft, 
non-abrasive cloth containing cotton. 
Only use window cleaning products. 
Be  careful  not  to  splash  or  spray  any  water  or  cleaning  product 
directly on the scanner window. 
Always dampen the cloth with window cleaner BEFORE rubbing the 
glass.
