Description
The Hewlett-Packard SmartWand
Bar Code Reader is a bar code
scanning wand with an integrated
decoder. It transmits data to a
computer via an asynchronous
serial port, using CMOS level
signals, at user definable baud
rates. The SmartWand Reader’s
configuration may be changed by
scanning special bar code menus,
or by sending escape sequences
to the wand from the host. The
configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory, allowing the
SmartWand Reader to retain the
configuration when the power is
turned off. A Configuration
Display option sends a summary
of the configured options to the
screen.
In its default configuration, the
SmartWand Reader can
automatically recognize and
decode 9 standard bar code
symbologies. Configurable
options include: symbology
selection, checksum verification,
length checking, message editing,
LED feedback control, Code 39

digital wand emulation mode,
serial port configuration, and
various I/O protocols such as
single read modes, Xon/Xoff
pacing and no-read recognition.
The polycarbonate-cased
SmartWand Readers (HBSW8000,8200,8400) have an LED
near the tip that flashes after a
good read. The LED also flashes
during bar code menu
programming and to signal any
self-test failures after power-up.
All SmartWand Readers have an
enhanced software version of

decoding algorithm. The
SmartWands are also very
suitable for portable computer or
terminal applications due to its
low current draw.
Visual Feedback LED
The SmartWand Readers with
polycarbonate-cases have an easyto-see Feedback LED near the
scanner tip that acknowledges a
good read. This is useful in a
noisy environment or where
silence is required. Since the
state of the LED can be controlled
by escape sequences, the host
processor can turn the LED on or
off at any time.
SmartWand Reader Configuration
The SmartWand Reader can be
configured by scanning special
bar code labels or by receiving
escape sequence commands from
the host. This allows decoding
options and interface protocols to
be tailored to a specific application. Configuration labels and a
list of escape sequences are
printed in the SmartWand User’s
Manual (P/N: HBSW-8997). The
SmartWand Reader can display
its current configuration on the
host’s screen. See sample.

FCC Certification
HP’s SmartWand Readers have
received FCC certification for
their standard configuration only.
Any customer purchasing the
product with stripped and tinned
leads or a connector without
adequate shielding has the
responsibility to comply with FCC
regulations. Moreover, if the HP
SmartWand Reader is purchased
without a connector, the product
becomes defined as a subassembly and the FCC Identification number no longer applies.
HP assumes no responsibility or
liability for users of the HP
SmartWand Readers without
connectors that fail to comply
with FCC regulations.
This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference
received, including interference
that may cause undesired
operation.
