Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the 4000 Series imagers. 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, take the following steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to

your imager.

An imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer.

1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager first, then to the computer.

2. Program the imager for a USB interface using the Plug and Play bar codes

beginning on page 1-4.

3. The imager beeps.

4. 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 Hand Held Products “USB Application Note,” available at www.handheld.com.

Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to

your imager.

USB PC or Macintosh® Keyboard

Scan one of the following codes to program the imager for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes adds a CR and selects the terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard - 125, USB Japanese Keyboard - 134).

USB HID

Scan the following code to program the imager for USB HID bar code imagers. Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131.

USB COM Port Emulation

* Off

Scan the following code to program the imager 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 use a class driver. Scanning the code below changes the terminal ID to 130.

Note: No extra configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.

Reading Techniques

The 4800p scans bar codes and also captures images. It can be used with or without a stand.

4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide 1 - 5

The 4800p’s viewfinder projects a green aiming beam that should be centered

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

over the bar code, but can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

Hold the scanner with the aiming beam centered over the bar code. The 4800p beeps when it successfully reads a bar code. Do not move the 4800p over another bar code until it beeps. The optimum distance between the 4800p and the object being scanned is 2 to 5 inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the 4800p to the stand’s tray is the proper distance.

The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code + unwanted reflection.

5° to prevent

4800p Stand

The stand holds the 4800p at a fixed distance for capturing images or reading bar codes on security/identification cards. The wedge insert supplied with the stand provides the optimum angle for scanning and capturing images in most lighting conditions. The card should be placed on the wedge with the bar code closest to the back of the stand.
