About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
3200. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support
information are also included.
Hand Held Products barcode 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 barcodes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking the Imager
After you open the shipping carton containing the 3200, 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.

Connecting the Imager with USB
USB Keyboard (PC)
USB Keyboard (Mac)
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 barcode 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 3200 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 3200. Scanning these codes adds a CR and
selects the terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard -
125).
1 - 2 3200 User’s Guide
Plug and Play
Plug and Play barcodes provide instant imager set up for commonly used
interfaces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the
interface in effect.
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 3200 is factory defaulted
to a USB connection. You must scan the IBM PC AT and Compatibles
with CR suffix barcode on page 1-4 to enable keyboard wedge ability.
Verify the imager operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols in
the back of this manual. The imager beeps once.

Scanning the barcode below allows operation of the 3200 as a keyboard wedge
interface to an IBM PC AT with a U. S. keyboard.
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
barcode below.
Note: The following barcode also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.
Laptop Direct Connect
For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect barcode allows
operation of the imager in parallel with the integral keyboard. The following
Laptop Direct Connect barcode selects terminal ID 03, programs a carriage
return (CR) suffix and turns on Emulate External Keyboard (page 2-4).
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.
1 - 4 3200 User’s Guide
Note: For the imager to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your
RS-232 Interface
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.
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 3200 is factory defaulted
to a USB connection. You must scan the RS-232 Interface barcode 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 barcode, 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.
Refer to page 2-6 for additional RS-232 configuration settings.

Reading Techniques
Good Technique
Bad Technique
Bad Technique
Standard Product Default Settings
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 barcode; it
will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm)
from the unit. To read a single barcode or multiple barcodes (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 barcode.
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
barcode below.
The Menu Commands starting on page 9-1 lists the factory default settings for
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

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
barcode below, then scan the numeric barcode(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 barcode, 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 barcode, scan the digits, and the Save code again.
Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle your computer.

Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the barcode data. This group of barcode data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are
used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after
scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or
only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown
of a message string:
Prefix
alpha numeric
characters
Scanned Data
variable length 1-11
Suffix
1-11
alpha numeric
characters
Points to Keep In Mind
• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter
are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.
Default suffix = None
• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.
• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on
the output.
.
Default prefix = None.
3200 User’s Guide 4 - 1
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix
or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Appendix A) for UPC.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
4 - 2 3200 User’s Guide
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:
Add CR Suffix
All Symbologies
Add Prefix
Clear One Prefix
Clear All Prefixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a
symbology. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you
select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes
(Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.
To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to all Symbologies
Scan the following barcode if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all
symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs
a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of
these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on
page 7-3. When the imager is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is
converted to a key code before it is transmitted.
Default = Enable.
Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps
(of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.
