Reading Techniques

Good Read Bad Read

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view.
The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of the bar code. It
will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.

The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner 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 scanner at an
appropriate distance from the target, press the button, 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.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want
to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest techni­cal support office (see Limited Warranty on page 13-1) for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults
bar code below before each menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scanning numeric codes
from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom
Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom defaults.

When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar
code.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Save Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the base to perform

a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes are
entered. See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite
the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide
you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High
menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be
updated.

1 - 5

Resetting the Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This
resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default
settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base to perform a reset and

become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes are entered.
See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

USB HID Bar Code Scanner

HID Fallback Mode

Scan one of the following codes to program the scanner for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning
these codes also adds a CR and LF.

USB HID

Scan the following code to program the scanner for USB HID bar code scanners.

HID Fallback Mode

If you attempt to set a USB interface for your scanner, but the setup fails on the host system, you can program the scanner
to fall back to a HID keyboard interface after a set length of time. For example, if the scanner is configured for Serial Emu­lation Mode, but the host system does not have the correct driver, the scanner would fail. If you set the HID Fallback Mode
for a set length of time, for example, 5 minutes, the scanner would change to a HID keyboard interface after 5 minutes of
trying to configure as serial emulation.

A unique beep sequence indicates that this mode has been entered. While in HID Fallback Mode, the scanner will not scan
normal bar codes and sounds a unique beep sequence that indicates the scanner is in Fallback Mode. Menu codes can
still be scanned while in HID Fallback Mode, allowing you to change the scanner’s programming.

Scan the bar code below, then set the length for the HID Fallback (from 0-60 minutes) by scanning digits from the

Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5 minutes.

USB Serial Commands

USB Serial Emulation

Scan one of the following codes to program the scanner to emulate a regular RS232-based COM Port. If you are using a
Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will need to download a driver from the Honeywell website (www.honeywellaidc.com). The
driver will use the next available COM Port number. Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the scanner as a USB CDC
class device and automatically uses a class driver.

ALT Mode

If your bar code contains special characters from the extended ASCII chart for example, an e with an accent grave (è), you
will use ALT Mode. (See "Extended ASCII Characters" on page A-4.)

Note: Scan the ALT mode bar code after scanning the appropriate Keyboard Country code.

If your keystrokes require using the ALT key and 3 characters, scan the 3 Characters bar code. If your keystrokes require
the ALT key and 4 characters, scan the 4 Characters bar code. The data is then output with the special character(s).

Default = Off.

Keyboard Style

This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they
will override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.

Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code:
“abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk”
by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case. These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

Keyboard Modifiers

This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.
Control + ASCII Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the

ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2). Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are

supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the
Windows mode.

Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F
(refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2), but it does not transmit any prefix or suffix information.

Inter-Scan Code Delay

When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or held down, the keyboard sends a packet of infor­mation known as a “scan code” to your computer. This selection allows you to adjust the delay between scan codes. Set
the length (in milliseconds) for a delay by scanning the bar code below, then setting the delay (from 1-30) by scanning digits
from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 0 (800 µs).

Keyboard Wedge Defaults

When your keyboard detects that any key is being pressed, released, or held down, the keyboard sends a packet of infor­mation known as a “scan code” to your computer. There are two different types of scan codes: “make codes” and “break
codes.” A make code is sent when a key is pressed or held down. A break code is sent when a key is released. The fol-

lowing selections allow you to suppress or transmit the character sequence of the break code. Default = Transmit.

Keyboard Wedge Defaults

If you want the custom keyboard wedge default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Keyboard Wedge Defaults bar
code below. This resets the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-5). If there are
no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified
through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device.

RTS/CTS Off: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used, but RTS is still active.
RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used and RTS is inactive.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be

asserted by the host.
Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send, and will wait

indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS

when it is OK for the device to transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232

Timeout on page 2-25) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device

transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.
Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send and waits for a

delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-25) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not
asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

* XON/XOFF Off

When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host.
Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-5100 millisec­onds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 1000 ms (1 second).

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending
data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off

when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the
host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is
received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK
protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK

Off.

Communication Timeout

This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for the host ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar code below,
then set the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.

Default = 2000 ms.

Timeout Retries

This setting limits the number of Communication Timeout retries. If the Timeout Retries is set to 0, the transmission is
terminated after the initial Communication Timeout. Scan the bar code below, then set the number of retries (from 0-

255) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. (5 is the recommended setting.) Default =

0.

Support BEL/CAN in ACK/NAK

This protocol responds to <BEL> and <CAN> commands when in ACK/NAK mode. The scanner sounds an error tone
when a <BEL> command is sent from the host. <CAN> terminates the transmission. Default = BEL/CAN Off.

RS232 Defaults

If you want the custom RS232 default settings restored to your scanner, scan the RS232 Defaults bar code below. This
resets the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-5). If there are no custom
defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the cus­tom defaults will be restored to the factory default settings.

Cordless System Operation

Note: This chapter applies only to cordless scanning systems. It does not apply to corded scanners.

How the Charge and Communications Base Works

A cordless charge and communications base provides the link between the cordless scanner 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 scanner 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 cordless charge base is also a scanner’s battery charger. Refer to Charging Information, page 3-3, for additional informa­tion.

Linking the Scanner to a Base

Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the base is fully connected. When the base is con­nected and powered up, put the scanner in the base to establish a link. The red LED on the base lights to indicate power, and
the green LED flashes to indicate the scanner’s battery is charging.

If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner
and base are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. That indicates that the scanner is linked to the base.

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
scanner provides a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base. If you
receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base. Refer to page 12-4 for troubleshooting
information.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner 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 scanner and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledge-

ment (ACK) from the base. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base, the scanner issues an
error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

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

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate the scanner with its base, as you move a
scanner out of range, or bring a scanner back in range. The following information explains the cordless system operating condi­tions.

Linking Process

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

Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the
scanner can’t communicate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan
a bar code, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no communication with the base. A cordless charge base can also
sound an alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm, page 3-9.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base have been reset, or the scanner comes back into range. If the scanner
relinks, you will hear a single chirp when the relinking process is complete. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm on page 3-9 for
further information.

Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On

The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 14,000 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of
range and then send them to the base when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 3-10).

3 - 2

You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you press the button if the

!

radio communication is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the
data is being transferred to the base.

Page Button

When you press the Page button on the base, the scanner associated with that base will begin beeping (3 short and 1 long
beep). If you press the button on a scanner that is beeping in response, or press the Page button on the base a second
time, the scanner will stop beeping. See Paging on page 3-6 for further information about Page Button settings.

About the Battery

There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace the batteries with only the same or
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle program for
batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner handle. Batteries
are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged. The battery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to
ensure optimal performance.

Voyager 1202g Battery Removal

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the base unit. Refer to Base LED Sequences and

Meaning, page 3-5, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators. Refer to Charge Only Mode (page 3-7) if you

need to charge a scanner without linking it to the base.

The model Voyager 1202g is designed for use with Honeywell battery pack model 100000495 (Li-ion 3.7Vdc, 7.4 watt
hour), or model BAT-SCN01 (Li-ion 3.75Vdc, 9.0 watt hour).

3 - 3

Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply. Use only a Listed Limited Power Source

!

!

(LPS) or Class 2 type power supply with output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.

Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for example, a USB cable) and not using an external power

supply plugged into the aux port, the current available for charging is reduced and the charge time is increased.

Battery Recommendations

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

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

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

• 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 Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized
service center for inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page 13-1 for additional information.

Caution:

The model CCB00-010BT base is designed for use with the Honeywell model Voyager 1202g scanner. Use of
any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries

• Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries.

• Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations.

• Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects.

• Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet.

• Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the batteries, to each other with any metal object.

• Do not pierce, strike or step on batteries or subject batteries to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not disassemble or modify batteries.

Caution:

Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle
program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be
discarded.

Proper Disposal of the Battery

When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified
recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with gen­eral waste materials. You may send the scanner’s battery to us. (postage paid). The shipper is responsi­ble for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling,
manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service Department (page 13-1) for
recycling or disposal information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant,
it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.

Flash Updates

The scanner can be flashed either in the base or out of the base, however, it is recommended that you flash the scanner while it
is in the base. Flash updates cannot be completed when the scanner is out of the base and the battery is low, or when the
scanner is out of range.

Beeper and LED Sequences and Meaning

The scanner contains LEDs on the top that indicate linking status, decoding state, and battery condition. The base has LEDs
on the front that indicate its power up, communication, and battery charge condition. The unit’s audible indicators have meaning
as well. The following table lists the indication and cause of the LED illumination and beeps for the scanner and charge base.

scan the Charge Only Mode bar code. Any subsequent scanners placed in that base will charge without linking to it. The
scanner used to program the base remains linked to the base. To unlink this scanner, scan Unlink Scanner on page 3-9.

Note: When in Charge Only Mode, the scanner periodically wakes up and beeps. See "Power Up Beeper" on page 4-1 to

change this setting.

If you want to charge a scanner and link to the base, use Charge and Link Mode. If the base is programmed for Charge
Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it first in order to program it for Charge and Link Mode. Scan the linking bar code on
the base to link the scanner, then scan Charge and Link Mode. Default = Charge and Link Mode.

Linked Modes

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

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner

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

To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See

Scanner Modes, page 3-7.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not linked to a base. A link is established when the
scanner is placed into a base. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a new scanner is placed in
the base. Each time a scanner is placed into a base, the scanner becomes the linked to the base and the old scanner
is unlinked.

ner bar code.

Override Locked Scanner

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

Out-of-Range Alarm

If your scanner is out range of the base, an alarm sounds from the scanner. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer
to the base, when the base connects to another scanner, or when the alarm duration expires.

Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error tone even if you do not have the alarm set.

You receive the error tone since the data could not be communicated to the base or the host.

Alarm Sound Type

Set the alarm type for the scanner by scanning the following appropriate bar code. If the alarm is on, the scanner will emit
3 long, high pitched beeps. Default = Alarm On.

Alarm Duration

To set the the length of time you want the Out-of-Range alarm to sound, scan the following bar code and then set the time­out duration (from 0-3000 seconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning
Save. Default = 1 sec.

If the scanner is not activated during the timer interval, the scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the scanner is acti-

vated, the timer is reset. If Scanning While in Base Cradle (page 3-6) is disabled, the scanner will still go into power down
mode. Default = 3600 seconds.

Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, press the scanner’s button to power the unit back up. There will be a set of

power up beeps and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The scanner will then be ready to use.

RangeGate

If you need RangeGate functionality, the scanner can be programmed for Automatic Batch Mode (page 3-11), which offers
equivalent capabilities.

Batch Mode

Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its base, or when performing inventory. The data
is transmitted to the base once the scanner is back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.

Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of the base. The data is automatically transmit­ted to the base once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an
error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the base so data can be transmit­ted.

Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the base. To transmit the stored data to the
base, either place the scanner in the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-15). When the scanner’s buffer space
is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the data must be transmitted to the
base.

Batch Mode Beep

When scanning in Batch Mode, the scanner beeps every time a bar code is scanned. When Batch Mode Beep is On, you
will also hear a click when each bar code is sent to the host. If you do not want to hear these clicks, scan Batch Mode

Beep Off. Default = Batch Mode Beep Off.

Batch Mode Quantity

When in Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-11), you may wish to transmit the number of multiple bar codes scanned, rather
than a single bar code multiple times. For example, if you scan three bar codes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off,
when you transmit your data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the Quantity Codes

(page 3-12), you could output your data as “00003, XYZ” instead. Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.

Entering Quantities

Quantity Codes (page 3-12) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned, up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits
are shifted from right to left, so if a 5th digit is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits
are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.

For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been set to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quan­tity will be 2345.

scanner to relink to the base.

To output the name of the scanner, scan the following bar code. The name will be output showing the product name, model
number, and the scanner’s 10-digit serial number.

Using the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices

The scanner can be used either with the CCB00-010BT charge base or with other Bluetooth devices. Those devices include
personal computers and laptops.

Scanning the following Non-Base BT Connection bar code allows the scanner to be used with other Bluetooth devices (e.g.,
PC/laptop). After you scan the Non-Base BT Connection bar code, follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device
to locate the scanner and connect to it.

Note: If you go out of range with your scanner, the scanner will not reconnect to the Bluetooth device when it is back in range.

Changing the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code

Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features. Your scanner’s default PIN is 0000, which you
may need to enter the first time you connect to your non-base Bluetooth device. To change the PIN, scan the following bar
code and then scan the appropriate numeric bar codes from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
(The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters.) Scan Save to save your selection. Default = 0000.

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity

The following settings can help you customize the relinking behavior of the cordless system to obtain the best compromise
between convenience and low interference.

Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.

Auto Reconnect Mode

Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is
detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without

user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.

The following table shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Event Auto Reconnect On Auto Reconnect Off

Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base.
During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base. In order to pre­vent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is
limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a
base. Pressing the scanner’s button or placing the scanner in the base resets the attempt count and the scanner will again
try to link.

Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-255) from the inside
back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.

Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until

the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-9) expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link
Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a button press.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a base typically lasts up to
5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out controls the amount of
time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.

Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back
cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples

Default values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the base unit. Each attempt consists
of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner powers off and
batch mode data is lost.

5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner
stops trying to connect to the base, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the
scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.

Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0

Other values at default settings

When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the scanner’s button is pressed, 15 attempts are
made to link to the base. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle
time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base, but retains any bar
codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost. Refer
to Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-17, to review other events that can start the relink process.

Reset Scanner and Base

After changing settings, you may need to reset your scanner and base. Scan the Reset Base bar code and wait for the scanner
to unlink and relink to a base. Once that is done, scan the Reset Scanner bar code and wait for the base to unlink and relink to

the scanner.

In-Stand Defaults

Out-of-Stand Defaults

The following settings program the scanner’s behavior when it is either in the stand, or out of the stand (hand-held).

Caution: When working with In-Stand and Out-of-Stand settings, enable the settings you want before disabling those

you do not want to use. If you disable settings first, you may program the scanner so it is unable to read bar
codes. if this happens, power cycle the scanner and scan the defaults bar code on page 1-6.

In-Stand and Out-of-Stand Defaults

If you want the In-Stand or Out-of-Stand default settings restored to your scanner, scan the appropriate Defaults bar code
below. They reset the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on page 1-5). If there are no
custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through

the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Presentation Modes

When the scanner is in the stand, by default, bar codes are automatically read when they are detected in the scanner’s field
of view. When the scanner is out of the stand, by default you must push the button on top of the scanner to read a bar code.
Use the following commands to adjust how the scanner behaves when it is out of the stand.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the battery will not charge unless the power supply is

plugged into the base’s auxiliary power port.

Presentation Mode Out-of-Stand: When the scanner is not in the stand, it automatically detects bar codes, then scans
and transmits the data. The laser turns off afterward. (If you are accustomed to a Voyager 9520, this setting is the same as
the 9520’s default.)

Output Sequence Editor

This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in
whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default
Sequence symbol programs the scanner to the following Universal values. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to
delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Note: If CodeGate is enabled, you must hold the button down while reading each bar code in a sequence.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es)

your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols on the Programming Chart to read these options.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 4-17).

2. Code I.D.

On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format.
Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover).

3. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output 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.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences

On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you
want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner 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.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line follows:

4 - 14

SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or for-

matted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 4-14, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code
lengths, you would use the following command line:

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit
the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform
to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.

No Read

With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data
Window (see page 9-1), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.

Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message (see Data

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:

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 is dependent on interface.

• 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 Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2, 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.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 32 characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-2).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page

A-1) 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

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and
suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology.
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 the Symbology Charts, beginning on page

A-1) 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

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all
current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII Characters

You may need to emulate special keyboard functions, such as up or down arrows, Alt/Make or Alt/Break commands, that are not
supported in the Extended ASCII Character table. Refer to Alternate Extended ASCII Characters (page 5-3) for a range of key-
board function keys and corresponding decimal and hex characters. If you scan the Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII code,
any hex entries in a prefix or suffix will result in the corresponding Keyboard Function output.

Example: Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII is enabled, and you scan Add Suffix, then scan 9 9 8 9. All symbologies (99)

When Transmit Normal Extended ASCII is selected, the normal extended ASCII character is transmitted ASCII Conversion

Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2.

Example: Transmit Normal Extended ASCII is enabled, and you scan Add Suffix, then scan 9 9 8 9. All symbologies (99)

Default = Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function
code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 8-2. When the

scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Communication Check Character

To enhance security, you can specify the transmission type of a check character; either LRC where the calculation starts on the
first transmitted character, LRC where the calculation starts on the second transmitted character, or CRC.

Note: This option adds a check character to the bar code data for all symbologies. If you need to enable or disable check

characters for individual symbologies, see Symbologies beginning on page 7-1.

Scan the following bar code to set the communication check character type. Default = None.

Character to Trigger Delay

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage
delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each
character of scanned data. Scan the following Intercharacter Delay bar code, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and
the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code
using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.

User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed after the transmission of a particular
character of scanned data. Scan the following Delay Length bar code, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save
bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value for the ASCII character that will trigger the
delay ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2.

To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code using
the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
