Getting Started

The IT3800 is a high performance linear imaging scanner from Hand Held
Products. The IT3800 marks a new performance level for handheld scanners.
Linear imaging technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused aiming line,
high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The IT3800 is comfortable to
hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for all general scanning applications.

The IT3900 is a fixed mount bar code scanner designed for retail kiosks,
manufacturing WIP tracking, document processing, or other OEM applications.
It is a complete decoded output scanner that is easy to integrate. It
communicates with PCs or host terminals via keyboard wedge or a serial RS-232
interface. The IT3900 can be used internally or externally. The housing provides
protection from dust, dirt, and electrostatic discharge.

Typical Applications for the IT3900

The IT3900 is an ideal scanner
for retail kiosks. The bright
aiming line and large working
range make scanning easy for
untrained users.

The IT3900 mounted in a stand
makes an efficient bar code
document reader; it takes up a
minimum of counter space and
reads and transmits data
quickly.

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
IT3800/3900. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer
support information are also included.

Hand Held Products bar code scanners 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.

Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host

Disconnect

(Keyboard Wedge)

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
wand emulation or non decoded output mode. 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.

Disconnect

3. Connect the appropriate
interface cable to the
scanner and to the terminal/
computer.

4. Turn the terminal/computer
power back on. The scanner will beep twice.

5. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the back cover of
this manual. The scanner will beep once.

Mounting Information, continued

Specular Zone

The IT3900 must be mounted at a 5 degree, or greater, angle to the bar code in
order to scan properly:

The scanner is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/PC.
You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can be
transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, turn to page 2-1. If the scanner is connected via a serial port, turn to

page 2-8. If this is a wand emulation application, turn to page 2-15, and for a non

decoded output connection, turn to page 6-2.

Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scanner 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.

The most common interface is Keyboard Wedge. The following Keyboard
Wedge bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

Compatibles

The following Plug and Play bar code for IBM XT and Compatibles also
programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

The following Plug and Play bar code for IBM PS-2 and Compatibles also
programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

Use Non Decoded Output Laser Emulation when connecting to a secondary
terminal with integral decoding. This also sets the transmission rate to 36 scans
per second and the polarity to white high.

For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows
operation of the integral keyboard. The following Laptop Direct Connect bar
code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

The RS-232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a
PC or terminal. The following RS-232 Interface bar code adds a suffix of a CR
and LF, and also programs the parameters:

Data Format 7 data bits, parity bit, 1 stop bit (8 bit data)

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in
the same format as a wand scanner. The Same Code format transmits UPC,
EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes without any changes, but
converts all other symbologies to Code 39.

Wand Emulation Same Code

The following Wand Emulation bar code sets the interface to Wand Emulation
mode and translates bar code data as Code 39 symbology. It also programs the
Transmission Rate to 25 inches per second, and Output Polarity to black high.

Note: For the 3800PDF model: When the 3800PDF interface is set to wand

emulation, all PDF417 bar code data is transmitted as Code 128. Data
from other symbologies follow the rules described above.

Serial Wedge

The IT3800/3900 uses true and TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial
network. Use IT3800/3900 serial wedge cables only to prevent damage to the
scanner. Refer to the serial interface programming (pages 2-8 to 2-12) to set the
baud rate and communications protocol.

To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, find the terminal ID in the Supported
Terminal Chart and follow the instructions on page 2-2. Set the port to which you
want the scanned data to transmit. Port 1 corresponds to P1 on the output cable
and Port 2 corresponds to P2 on the output cable. Choosing Both sends
scanned data to P1 and P2. Default = P1.

Terminal Interfaces

Keyboard Wedge Connection

IT3800/3900 scanners are factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface
to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and you do not
need to modify the settings, skip to Chapter 3 - Output.

If you programmed the scanner for a different terminal interface and/or you want
to change to an IBM PC AT and Compatibles Keyboard Wedge interface, scan
the bar code below.

Terminal ID

If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to "Supported Terminals" on page
2-3 through page 2-4, and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the
Terminal ID bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) on the inside
back cover of this manual to program the scanner 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 inside back cover, then Save. If you
make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the
Discard code on the back cover, scan the T erminal ID bar code, scan the digits,
and the Save code again.

Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle your computer.

**** Applies to 3800LX-15 model only. Because special suffixes are required by
the IBM SurePOS terminal, it is best to use the Plug and Play bar codes on

page 1-8 to program these interfaces, rather than scanning the terminal ID listed

in this table.
