USB COM Port Emulation

Scan the following code to program the document reader to emulate a regular TTL-232-based 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
driver will use the next available COM port number. Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the document reader as a USB
CDC class device and automatically use a class driver. Scanning the code below changes the terminal ID to 130.

All communication parameters between the document reader and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial
port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface barcode programs the document reader for an RS-232 interface at
115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

Aligning the Document Reader Tray

Proper cable placement is important for accurate alignment of the device. Place the cable in the wire channel if the imager will
remain in the base most of the time. If you plan to frequently lift out the imager to scan items, then set the cable in the location
where it will rest while the imager is in the stand.

Note: The 4800dr will not capture any images until it has been properly aligned using the following procedure.

1. Loosen the screw in the base tray with a coin.

2. Place the alignment page on the tray. Align the upper left corner of the alignment page to the upper left corner of the tray.

3. Make sure the serial number on the alignment page (the top number) matches the serial number on your document reader.

4. Press the button on the imager to display the illuminated aimer crosshairs. You will hear a single beep that indicates you
are using the correct page.
(If you hear 3 beeps and the aimer turns off, then you have the wrong alignment page for your document reader.)

5. Move the tray until the illuminated aimer crosshairs line up with the printed crosshairs on the alignment page. (Be sure to
wait until the crosshairs go off before removing power or attempting to capture an image.)

6. Remove the alignment page and tighten the screw. Save the alignment page in the event that the tray needs to be
realigned in the future.

Note: If you need to print a new copy of the alignment page, make sure to print the page in landscape mode.

4800dr Barcode Guide 1 - 5

Reading Techniques

Linear barcodes:

2D Matrix symbols:

The document reader has a view finder that projects a bright aimer that corresponds to the document reader’s horizontal field of
view. The barcode should be centered under the aiming crosshairs, but can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aimer is smaller when the barcode is closer to the document reader and larger when it is farther away. 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. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the barcode at an appropriate
distance from the document reader, press the trigger, and center the aimer on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly
reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +

5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Using the Imager Out of the Stand

If you remove the imager from the stand to read barcodes, you should hold it closer to the barcode. The optimum read range is
6 to 7 inches (15.24 to 17.78cm). Since this is primarily a document imager and works like a camera, you must hold the imager
steady when scanning barcodes out of the stand.

TTL-232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the TTL-232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time­out. When a TTL-232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction
on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the TTL­232 receiver time-out by scanning the barcode below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then

LED – Indicator State

The LED indicator can be programmed to have an idle state of either Off or On, with a good read blink in the opposite state.
When programmed to LED Indicator Off, the LED indicator is Off in its idle state. It blinks On for a good read, then returns to
its idle Off state. When programmed to LED Indicator On, the LED indicator is On in its idle state. It blinks Off for a good read,
then returns to its idle On state. (LED Indicator On can also be used as a power on indicator.) Default = LED Indicator Off.

Number of Beeps – Good Read

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper
and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be five beeps and five
LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of
beeps, scan the barcode below and then scan a digit (1-9) barcode and the

Trigger Modes

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the document reader either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands
on page 10-3). When in manual trigger mode, the document reader scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the document reader scans until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. In serial
mode, the document reader can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which
follows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the document reader’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the
document reader, or if the document reader is in manual trigger mode. Once the document reader has timed out, you can
activate the document reader either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the

barcode, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then

* LEDs On

LEDs Off

When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol on page
3-4.) When a different code is presented, the document reader is triggered to read the new code.

Note: The document reader automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock

on the Scan Stand symbol. When a symbol is presented, the document reader’s light levels adjust to the saved setting
(see LED Power Level on page 3-6). This mode requires at least 50 lux of ambient light to operate correctly.

Scan Stand Symbol

When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol on the base of the stand which tells it to remain
idle. When the Scan Stand symbol is covered, the document reader turns the LEDs on at the configured power level (Default
High) and attempts to find and decode barcodes in its field of view.

Presentation Mode

This programs the document reader to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off or at the lowest power for ambient
conditions until a barcode is presented to the document reader. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code.
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect the barcodes. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode
may not work properly.

Presentation LED Behavior after Decode

When a document reader is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a barcode is
decoded. If you wish to turn the LEDs off immediately after a barcode is decoded, scan the LEDs Off barcode, below. Default

= LEDs On.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Scan Stand, and Presentation, and Streaming Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the document

is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) the document reader reverts to the original hands free mode.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the document reader can read the same barcode a second time. Setting a reread delay protects
against accidental rereads of the same barcode. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter

Aimer Mode

The Aimer Mode feature allows you to lower peak current during scanning by alternating the laser aimer and illumination LED.
When the Concurrent barcode is scanned, the aimer and illumination LED are allowed to light at the same time. This is the
recommended setting. When the Interlaced barcode is scanned, the aimer and illumination LED are not allowed to be on at the
same time. Interlaced mode limits the peak current draw during scanning, but it also reduces the frame capture rate. Select Off
for fixed mount applications when the aimer is not needed.

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the document reader’s field of view to make sure the document reader reads only those barcodes
intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes
are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, page 3-7, for the most error-free operation in applications
where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the document reader can
emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser barcode readers.)
