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

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.
