Connecting the Scanner in Keyboard Wedge Mode

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a porta ble data termin al in
non decoded output mo de.

Note: The IMAGETEAM 4410 and 4710 scanners are fac tory programmed for a

keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard.

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 scanner and to the
terminal/
computer. The scan­ner will beep twice.

4. Connect the power

The scanner is now co nnected and ready to communi cate 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, 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 1-7.

Reading Techniques

The hand-held Imager has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam
that corresponds to the Imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam
should be cent ered over the bar code, bu t it can be position ed 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 farth er from the code. Sym bologie s with sma ller bars or e lements (mil
size) should be rea d closer to the unit. Symbol ogies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the uni t. (see "Depth of Field Cha rts (4410
& 4710)" on page 10-4.) To r ead s ingle or mu ltiple sym bols (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.

Terminal Interface

IMAGETEAM 4410 and IMAGETEAM 4710 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 t he setting s, skip to "Po wer Saving
Mode" on page 2-16 to begin programming the scanner.

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 Termin al ID b ar code, th en 0, 0, 2 from the insi de bac k cover, th en Save. If
you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the
Discard code on the back cover and scan the digits and the Save code again.

Serial Triggering

This provides a means of sending a serial trigger command to start and stop
decoding. When this feature is turned
trigger commands. When serial triggering is turned On, the Imager requires a
serial trigger ch aracter to activate sc anning and dec oding. The unit co ntinues to
scan and dec ode until the
occurs, or a bar code is decoded.

On the "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-36, find the hex
characters you want to use to turn the trigger on and off. Locate the decimal
values for those characters and scan the 2 digits for each one from the
Programming Chart in the back of this manual.

Trigger Off

When Serial Trigge ring is On, the default Trigge r On decimal charact er is 18 (hex

Centering

Use the centering feature to narrow the imager’s field of view to ma ke su re that
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. When centering is turned on, the imager only reads
codes that intersect the centering window set up by the user. The centering
window must intersect the center of the image. If a bar code is not within the
predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner.

If centering is turned on by scanning th e On bar code below, th e default centering
window is a 60 pixel squ are area in th e center of the imager’ s field of view . The
position of the window may be changed by scanning the top, bottom, left, and
right centering bar codes tha t follow and the appropriate pixel value, if other than
the default, fro m the Programming C hart in the back of this manual. Th e defaults
are listed in the table below.

The centering function can be used in conjunction with the Aimer Delay feature
(page 2-18) for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple
codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering
features, the i ma ger c an em ula te the operation of ol der systems, such as l ine ar

AutoTrigger

Two AutoTrigger Modes are available: Scan Stand and Presentation Mode.
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan

Stand symbol. (See Sc an Stan d Sym bol th at foll ows.) When a diffe rent co de is
presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code.

Note: The scanner a utomatically adjusts the illu mination LEDs to the lowest light

level possible to mai nta in a good loc k on the Sca n Stand sy mb ol.

Presentatio n mode is for those app lications where a sc an stand will not w ork, i.e.,
when large packages m ust be scanned. To p rogram the device for pre sentation
mode, refer to "Presentation Mode" on page 2-24.

symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level
(Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view.

POS (point of sale ). Use shorter delays in applications w here repetitive ba r code

Fast Omni Mode

Normally, the imager searches throughout its whole field of view to determine if
a bar code is present. Fast omni-directional mode provides a reduced search
pattern that increases the scan rate of the imager. When fast omni mode is
enabled, the imager only tries to locate bar codes in the center are a of the image.
Consequently , the user is requir ed to center the aimin g line over the bar c ode he
wants to read. When a portion of the ba r code i s in the center area of th e image,
the imager lo cates and decodes the bar code. The e ntire bar code does n ot need
to be in the c ente r a rea, on ly a portion of it. Bar co des that are not in the center
area of the image will not be found.

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is sca nned, additi onal informati on is sent to the ho st compute r
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined d ata is called a “m essage strin g.” The selec tions in this section are
used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix cha racters are data characters that ca n 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:

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.

prefix = None. Default suffix = CR/LF

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the "Decimal to Hex to ASCII
Conversion Chart" on page 2-36, plus Code I.D. and Aim I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one
time.

• Enter prefixes and s uffixes in the order in whic h you want them to appea r
on the output.

Data Format Editor Overview

The Data Format Editor sel ections are used to edit scanned da ta. For example,
you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar
code data as it is scanned.

It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data
format is already programmed in the scanner. The selections in the following
pages are used onl y if you wish to alter the defau lt settings.

setting = none.

If you have c hanged data format s ettings, and w ish to clear all for mats and return
to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code.

To Add a Data Format

Default Data Format

1. Scan the

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 scanner reverts to the primary data format. See "Alternate Data
Formats" on page 2-42.) If you ar e programming the primary format, sc an 0.
If you are programming an alternate format, scan
the alternate format you are programming.

3. Terminal Type

Refer to the "Supported Terminals Chart" on page 2-5 and locate the Termi­nal ID number for your P C. Scan three nu meric ba r codes on the i nside ba ck
cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits).
For example, scan

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

4. Code I.D.

On page 2-35, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data for­mat. Locate th e Hex value fo r tha t symbol ogy a nd sc an the 2 digit hex v alue
from the Programming Chart.

5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of da ta will be acceptab le for this
symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart.
(Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indi­cating all lengths. )

6. Editor Commands

Refer to the "Format Editor Commands" on page 2-38. Scan the symbols
that represent the command you w an t t o e nter. 94 alphanum eric c ha rac ters
may be entered for each symbology data format.

Other Programming Selections

• Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the
primary forma t, sc an 0. If you are cle aring an alternate form at, scan 1, 2,
or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the
Terminal Type (refer to the "Supported Terminals Chart" on page 2-5),
Code I.D. and the length of the format you want to delete. That length
data format for that symbology is deleted and all other formats are
unaffected.
