Serial Port Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS-232 interface at 9600 baud, even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit (8 bit data), and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

RS-232 Interface

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.

Note: For the scanner to work properly, you

must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer.

3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on the back of your computer/terminal, as shown below. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. Plug the power pack into a power source.

5. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the terminal/ computer.

Trigger Mode

Manual/Serial Trigger:

trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 12-

4). When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or

until the trigger is released. When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until

the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Serial Trigger Time Out, which follows). Default for IT3800.

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the

3 - 4 IT3800/3900 User’s Guide

Serial Trigger Time Out:

Use this selection to set a time out (in quarter seconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, it must be triggered again either serially or manually. After scanning the Serial Trigger Time Out bar code, set the time out duration (from 0-1200 quarter seconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 0 (infinite, or no time out).

Serial Trigger Time Out

Manual Trigger, Low Power:

The scanner “sleeps,” using only 30 milliamps, until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner wakes up and operates at reduced power until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time Out bar code. There is a short delay in operation when the scanner is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power mode.

Manual Trigger, Low Power

Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge

applications.

Low Power Time Out:

Scan the Low Power Time Out bar code to change the time out duration. Then scan the time out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 2 minutes.

Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save),

scan Discard on the back cover, scan the Lower Power Time Out bar code, scan the correct digits, then Save again.

Low Power Time Out

Automatic Trigger:

The scanner scans continuously at full power. Default for

IT3900.

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 characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-10

Suffix

1-10 alpha numeric 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 prefix = None. 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 ASCII chart (page 4-6 ), 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.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-4). Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (page 4-5)

for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.

IT3800/3900 User’s Guide 4 - 1

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion

Chart (page 4-6) 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.

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.

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 (page 4-5)

for UPC.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion

Chart (page 4-6) for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

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 (page 4-5)

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 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. 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 only if you wish to alter the default settings. Default Data Format setting = None.

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 5-2) 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 If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return

to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4). 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 scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-

5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. 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

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

IT3800/3900 User’s Guide 5 - 1

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

On page 4-5, 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.

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 Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the sym- bols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save 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. If you are clearing an alternate format, 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 2-3), 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.

• Save This exits, saving any Data Format changes.

• Discard This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

Secondary Interface

By switching interface cables, the IT3800/3900 scanner can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface), in addition to the host terminal (primary interface).

Note: Secondary interfaces do not apply to the IT3800LX-15.

The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.

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.

Secondary RS-232 Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.

RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.
