About the Scanner

Bridging the gap between man and machine, the Heron™ HD3430 2D Area Imager brings high style along with technology to the modern point of sale. Distinctive features such as side and top lights, polyphonic speaker and stylish top covers, as well as Green Spot technology, characterize this innovative reader.

Perfect for use as both a handheld and a presentation style reader, the Heron imager is lightweight and ergonomically shaped for handheld use and includes an auto-sensing stand in the package.

Developed to satisfy the most demanding reading requirements for linear reading at POS checkout, the Heron 2D Area Imager is available as an all-in-one multi-interface solution (RS-232, USB and Wedge).

The Heron™ HD3430 2D Area Imager has several new features. See

Parameters"

• The reader's attractive illumination (top and sides) selectively changes color to indicate its status.

• The user has the option to use personal jingles (a short user-defined tune uploaded via Datalogic Aladdin™ configuration software) instead of the normal beep tone.

Chapter 1

Introduction

"Reading

on page 85 for information on setting these features:

Using the Heron Reader

Heron readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the light bar emit ted from the reading window. This bar must cover the entire code.

Effective scanning is obtained by tilting the scanner with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections, which impair the reading performance (see Figure 1A below). A successful read is signaled by an audible tone or a jingle (previously uploaded), plus a good-read green spot. The side and upper illuminators become green (unless another color has been configured with Datalogic Alad din™ configurator).

Once the reader is correctly inserted into the stand, it is immediately ready to automatically read any code present in its reading area without pressing the trigger. Furthermore, a red pattern (central cross and four spots located in cor ners) is continuously emitted to facilitate the aiming of the bar code to be read (shown in Figure 1B).

Introduction

To guarantee single code reading, consecutive reading of the same code requires the code to be removed from the reading area (no decoding) before the reader will accept the same code again.

c custom configuration can be accomplished by scanning the programming bar codes within this guide.

Programming can alternatively be performed using Configuration application, which is available from the Datalogic website listed on the back cover of this manual. This multi-platform utility program allows device configuration using a PC. It communicates to the device using a serial or USB cable and can also create configuration bar codes to print.
