About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
3800g. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support
information are also included.
Hand Held Products bar code imagers are factory programmed for the most
common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these
settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking the Imager
After you open the shipping carton containing the 3800g, take the following
steps:
• Check to make sure everything you ordered is present.
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.
3800g Models
Note: The Hand Held Products 3800g imager may be used with many
interfaces, which are described in this User’s Guide. Refer to the chart
below to determine the models that can be used with your interface.
Refer to Chapter 6 for programming information regarding Secondary
Interfaces.
The chart below lists the 3800g imager models.

Connecting the Imager with USB
Note: Hand Held Products recommends connecting the imager end of the cable
first and the host end second.
An imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the computer.
2. The imager beeps.
3. Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual.
For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to the Hand
Held Products “USB Application Note,” available at www.handheld.com.
USB PC or Macintosh Keyboard
The 3800g imagers are factory programmed for a USB interface. If this is your
interface and you do not need to modify the settings, skip to Chapter 3.
If you programmed the imager for a different terminal interface and you want to
change to a USB Keyboard (PC) or USB Keyboard (Mac), scan one of the
following codes to program the 3800g. Scanning these codes adds a CR and
selects the terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard -
125).

Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash
register.

USB HID
Scan the following code to program the 3800g for USB HID bar code scanners.
Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131.
USB HID Bar Code Scanner
USB Com Port Emulation
Scan the following code to program the 3800g to emulate a regular RS-232based Com Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will need to
download a driver from the Hand Held Products website (www.handheld.com
The driver will use the next available Com Port number. Apple® Macintosh
computers recognize the imager as a USB CDC class device and automatically
uses a class driver. Scanning the code below changes the terminal ID to 130.

Connecting the Imager When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
An imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port or connected to a portable data terminal.
The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the terminal/
computer.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted
to a USB connection. You must scan the IBM PC AT and Compatibles
with CR suffix bar code on page 1-6 to enable keyboard wedge ability.
Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in
the back of this manual. The imager beeps once.
Keyboard Wedge Connection
Scanning the bar code below allows operation of the 3800g as a keyboard wedge
interface to an IBM PC AT with a U. S. keyboard.
3800g User’s Guide 1 - 5
If you programmed the imager for a different terminal interface and you want to
change to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface, scan the
bar code below.
Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.
IBM PC AT and Compatibles
with CR suffix
Laptop Direct Connect
For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows
operation of the imager in parallel with the integral keyboard. The following
Laptop Direct Connect bar code selects terminal ID 03, programs a carriage
return (CR) suffix and turns on Emulate External Keyboard (page 2-5).
Laptop Direct Connect
with CR suffix
Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.
Note: For the imager to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your
type of terminal/computer.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the
two screws to secure the connector to the port.
1 - 6 3800g User’s Guide
4. Connect the power supply and plug into an outlet.
5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted
to a USB connection. You must scan the RS-232 Interface bar code
below to enable RS-232 ability.
All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for
correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the
RS-232 interface bar code, programs the imager for an RS-232 interface at
38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.
RS-232 Interface
Refer to page 2-7 for additional RS-232 configuration settings.
IBM 4683 Ports 5B, 9B, and 17 Interface
Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the 3800GX5E for
IBM 4683 Port 5B, 9B, or 17.
Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash
register.

Reading Techniques
The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field
of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it
will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.
Good Technique
Bad Technique
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm)
from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or on
an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the
trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.
Bad Technique
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings

Terminal Interfaces
Terminal ID
If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to Terminal ID, beginning on page
2-1 and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the Terminal ID bar
code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual to program the imager for your terminal ID.
Scan Save to save your selection.
For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003. You would scan the
Terminal ID bar code, then 0, 0, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits
(before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the Programming Chart, scan
the Terminal ID bar code, scan the digits, and the Save code again.
