• A tough, ergonomic thermoplastic housing for comfort and durability.
• Omni-directional reading of a variety of printed symbols, including the
most popular linear and 2D matrix symbologi es.
• Advanced binary optics for ease of aiming and framing labels.
• RS-232, keyboard wedge, and laser emulation communication outputs.
• The ability to captur e and do wnload image s to a PC for signatu re captur e
software applications, and PC-based decoding.
• The ability to read single line OCR-A and OCR-B fonts.

Laser and LED Safety
The Laser A iming subsystem p rojects 670 nm laser light onto the bar code target
to define the optical field of view. The projected pattern consists of a central
cross and four 90 de gree corner sections. T his pattern is gener ated by a lens and
diffractive component positioned at the output of the enclosed laser diode. This
projected pattern assists the operator to frame the bar code being scanned.
The Good Read Indicator and the LED Illumination Array have been tested in
accordance with the spe ci ficati on “Safety of Laser Products” EN 60825-1:1994,
Issue 2, June 1997 and found to satisfy the requirements of Class 1. Class 1
optical systems are consi dered safe under r easonably foreseeab le cond itions of
operation. The Aiming Laser has been tested in accordance with the
specification “Safety of Laser Products” EN 60825-1:1994, Issue 2, June 1997
and found to satisfy the requirements of Class 2. Class 2 systems are
considered to emit visible radiation in the wavelen gth range from 400 nm to 700
nm. Eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses including the
blink reflex. It is recommended that you do not stare into the beam or cause
others to stare into the beam.

Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plug ged into the s erial p ort, or conn ected to a por table data terminal in
wand emulation or non decoded output mode.
Note: Only un its ordered from the factory with keyboar d wedge capability can be
connected as keyboard wedge units.
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. The scanner will beep twice.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
5. Verify the scanner
operation by scanni ng
a bar code from the
back cover of this
manual. The scanner
will beep once.
The scanner is now connected and read y to communicate with your terminal/PC.
You must program the scanne r for your inter face befor e bar code data can be
transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, see"Terminal Interface" on page 2-4. If the scanner is connected via a
serial port, turn to "Connecting the Scanner to a Serial Port" on page 2-10.

Reading Techniques
The hand-held Ima ger has a view finder (shown be low) wh ich is similar to those
on cameras. The view finder allows you to position the code within the field of
view.
The illustration below shows where to aim the red illuminated beam over the
symbol for a good read. Center the symbology in the view finder. The entire
symbology must be within the view finder (aiming beam). The view finder
changes size as you move the Imager closer to or farther away from a code.
Linear bar code2D Matrix symbol
Note: The symbols can be in any orientation for the Imager to read.
The view finder 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 la rger bars or elements (m il
size) should be read f arthe r from th e unit. (see "Depth of Field Charts "on page
1-8.) To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the
Imager at an appropr iate distance fro m the target, pull the trigger , and center the
view finder cross hairs on the symbol.

Terminal Interface
IMAGETEAM 44 00 and 4700 scann ers are factory progr amm ed for a keyboar d
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 page 2-16 for Imager
Selections.
If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to the "Supported Terminals
Chart" on page 2-5 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 PS/2 terminal has a Terminal ID of 002. You would scan
the Ter minal ID bar code, then 0, 0, 2 from the inside back cover, then Save. If
you m ake an error wh ile scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the
Discard code on the back cover and scan the digits and the Save code again.
* This capability is not available for the IT4700. Contact the factory if this capability is
needed for the IT4700.
Note: These interfaces are available only for units that have 1 megabyte of
program me mory. The software revision indicate s the memory s ize. If you
are not certain of your unit’s memory, please contact Welch Allyn’s
Application Support (see page 10-5).
