Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the imager is positioned in the cordless
base unit. Refer to "IT2020-5B LED Sequences and Meaning" on page 3-4 for
an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

• Place the imager in the base that is connected to an appropriate power
supply.

Battery Recommendations

• Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully
charged for maximum charge capacity.

• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, as well
as can be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell
type battery.

• Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the
battery.

• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.

• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the IT4620.

• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause
severe personal injury.

• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.

• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Hand
Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products service center for
inspection.

Linking Imager to Base

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and imager are not
linked. Once the imager is placed into the base, the software automatically links
the imager and the base. If the imager and base have previously been linked,
you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the imager and base
are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point,
you are set to one imager to one base.

3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the imager provides a single
good read beep and the green LED lights, the imager has successfully linked
to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red LED lights, the
imager has not linked to the base.

IT2020-5B Cordless Base

1 - 8 IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless imager provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read”
indication (a green LED on the imager and an audible beep) after a bar code is
scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is
possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between
the imager and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was
received by the host. The cordless imager recognizes data acknowledgement
(ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been
properly sent to the base, the imager issues an error indication. You must then
check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Reading Techniques

The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that
corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.

Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

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. To read single or multiple symbols
(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 symbol. If the code
being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Programming the Interface

Introduction

Chapter 1 describes connecting the base to the computer with the appropriate
interface cable. This chapter describes how to program your system for the
desired interface.

Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes 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.

Keyboard Wedge Connection

If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles
keyboard wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the bar code below.
Keyboard wedge is the default interface.

Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

IBM PC AT and Compatibles

Host ACK Selection

Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject
incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions. These
applications require that the host maintain control over the response indicators
emitted from the source imager. Turning the Host ACK selection on, configures
the cordless system imagers to respond to commands from the host system.

The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:

• The cordless system must be configured for “Host Port RS-232” (Terminal ID
= 000)

• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.

• Host ACK must be enabled (page 2-20).

• System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than

9600.

• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data,
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape
commands to the source imager.

Escape commands are addressed to the source imager via “Application Work
Groups.” Once a command is sent, all imagers in a group respond to that
command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each imager is
assigned to its own group in host ACK mode.

The commands to which the imager responds are listed on page 2-21. The
<ESC> is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y <ESC> x, where “y” is the
application work group number, “<ESC> x” is the escape command, and the
comma is the terminator

Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An
example of a command string is listed below.

0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6,

The above example will make an imager in application work group zero beep low,
medium, high.

Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:

• The imager reads a code and sends data to the base/host system. No audible
or visual indication is emitted until you receive an escape command. The
imager read illumination goes out upon a successful read.

• Imager is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host
system (via the base) or 2) the imager “times out.”

• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the imager is ready to scan again,
and the process repeats.

Time out is indicated by three rapid beeps at the same pitch. A time out occurs
if the source imager does not receive a valid escape command in 10 seconds. If
a time out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why
a response to the imager was not received.

Basic System Operation

Cordless Base

The cordless base provides the link between the cordless imager and the host
system. The base contains an interface assembly and an RF communication
module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between
the cordless imager and the interface assembly. The control assembly
coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/receiving
commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activities
(parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data
translation required for the host system.

The base also is the imager’s battery charger. Refer to "Base Charge Mode" on
page 3-3 for additional information.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The cordless system uses a state-of-the-art two-way Bluetooth radio to transmit
and receive data between the imager and the base. Designed for point-to-point
and multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license
free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over
a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system
highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant
to noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides range of 33
feet (10m) depending on the environment.

Cordless Imager

The cordless imager enables fast and accurate bar code scanning using a non­contact area imager.

The imager is comprised of an area imager, a decode/control assembly, and an
RF communication module. The scan engine performs the bar code image
illumination and sensing. The decode/control assembly coordinates the central
communication activities including: capturing and decoding the bar code image
data, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator
support, low battery indication), and data translation required for the host system.
The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the imager
and the base.

IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual 3 - 1

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you
associate an imager to a base, as you move an imager out of range, bring an
imager back in range, or swap imagers between two cordless systems. The
following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.

Linking Process

Once an imager is placed into the base, the imager’s battery charge status is
checked, and software automatically detects the imager and links it to the base
depending on the selected link mode.

Imager Is Out of Range

The cordless imager is in communication with its base, even when it is not
transmitting bar code data. Whenever the imager can’t communicate with the
base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the imager is out of range and you
scan a bar code, the imager issues a triple beep indicating no communication
with the base. In addition, your imager and base can sound an alarm if
programmed to emit an alarm. Refer to "Out-of-Range Alarm" on page 3-12.

Imager Is Moved Back Into Range

The imager re-links if the imager or the base have been reset or out of range. If
the imager re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the re-linking process
(uploading of the parameter table) is complete.

Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation Mode On

The imager may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC symbols,
others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base when back
in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode, but you will
hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not
working. Once the radio connection is made, the imager produces a series of
beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.

3 - 2 IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual

Base Charge Mode

In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the
circuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied
to the base:

Condition 1: 9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector
Condition 2: 12VDC host power source only
Condition 3: 5VDC host power source only

The chart below describes each selection by condition.

Condition 1 Condition 2 Condition 3

Imager Modes

The IT4620 is capable of working in single imager mode, multiple imager mode,
or with Blutetooth devices, other than the IT2020-5B base.

Unlinking the Imager

If the base has an imager linked to it, that imager must be unlinked before a new
imager can be linked. Once the previous imager is unlinked, it will no longer
communicate with the base. To unlink an imager from the base, scan the Unlink
Imager bar code below.

Unlink Imager

Single Imager Operation

There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link
Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one
mode to another.

Locked Link Mode - Single Imager

If you link an imager to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other imagers are
blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base. If you
do place a different imager into the base, it will charge the imager, but the imager
will not be linked.

Default = Locked Link Mode

.

* Locked Link Mode

(Single Imager)

To use a different imager, you need to unlink the original imager by scanning the
Unlink Imager bar code. (See "Imager Modes" on page 3-5.)

IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual 3 - 5

Open Link Mode - Single Imager

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and imager are not
linked. By placing an imager into the base, they establish a link. Placing a
different imager into the base establishes a new link and the old imager is
unlinked. Each time an imager is placed into the base, it becomes the linked
imager; the old imager is unlinked.

Open Link Mode

(Single Imager)

Override Locked Imager

If you need to replace a broken or lost imager that is linked to a base, scan the
Override Locked Imager bar code below with a new imager and place that imager
in the base. The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost imager’s link
with the base will be removed, and the new imager will be linked.

Override Locked Imager

(Single Imager)

Multiple Imager Operation

To put the imager in multiple imager mode, scan the bar code below. Once you
scan this bar code, the imager is unlinked from the base and must be placed into
the base to re-link.

Multiple Imager Operation

Note: Multiple Imager Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 imagers to one

base. You cannot join an eighth imager until you unlink one of the 7
imagers or take an imager out of range.

3 - 6 IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual

Imager Name

You are able to assign a name to each imager you are using. It will be helpful to
name the imagers if you have multiple imagers linked to one base so that you will
be able to control the imager receiving imaging commands sent from the base.

The default name for an IT4620 is “IT4620”. If you have more than one IT4620
linked to a base, the first imager that is linked to the base receives commands
addressed using this name. If you wish to change the name, you may change it
via a serial command (refer to "Menu Command Syntax" on page 12-1) or via a
bar code command. To change the name serially, unlink all except one of the
IT4620s from the base. Send “:IT4620:BT_NAM
imager name. If you wish to change the name of additional IT4620s, re-link them
one at a time and repeat the “:IT4620:BT_NAM

Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot
send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the bar code
below and scan a number for the imager name. For example, if you had 7
imagers to one base, scan the bar code below with the first imager, scan the 1
bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual and
scan Save. Then scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to re-link to
the base before scanning the next bar code. Repeat that process for imager
number 2 , 3, 4 etc.

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to seven imagers linked to one base. You can
also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the imagers’
settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. If
you want each imager to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix,
data formatter), then you may program each imager to its own unique work group
and may program each imager independently. Visual Menu 2003 (page 11-3)
makes it easy for you to program your system for use with multiple scanners and
multiple work groups.

The imager keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the imager
is connected or reconnected to a base, the imager is updated with the latest
settings from the base for its work group. The imager also receives menu setting
changes processed by the base. If an imager is removed from one base and
placed into another base, it will be updated with the new base settings for
whatever work group that the imager was previously assigned. For example, if
the imager was in work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work
group 1 in the second base with the associated settings.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes.
If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the imager
changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager should remain
in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out
value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) the imager reverts

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the imager can read the

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager reads
only those bar codes 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 4-10, for
the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced
closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the imager can
emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code imagers.)

In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white
area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will
be.

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes,
but you want the imager to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd,
as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code 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 &
control characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-11

Suffix

1-11
alpha numeric &
control 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 Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar

Codes on page A-6, 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.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the
specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

.

Default prefix = None.

IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual 5 - 1

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-4).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

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 Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar

Codes on page A-6, 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

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 Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar

Codes on page A-6, 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.

5 - 2 IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:

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

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

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.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain
points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages
are used only if you wish to alter the output.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands
on page 6-2) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

Default Data Format setting = None.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return
to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 6-5.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 6-5).

Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan
one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has
been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. See page 6-

6.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro­gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are pro-

gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the
alternate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

IMAGETEAM™ 2020/4620 System Manual 6 - 1

Refer to Supported Terminals (page 2-9) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 dig­its). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note:

The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data
format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit
hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program-

ming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is

entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 6-2). Scan the symbols
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric char­acters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual to save your entries.

Other Programming Selections

• Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending
on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code
I.D. (see Supported Terminals on page 2-9), and the bar code data length for
the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain
unaffected.

• Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.

• Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits without saving any Data Format changes.
