About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Hyperion 1300g. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer
support information are also included.

Honeywell bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common
terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,
programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking the Scanner

After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following
steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Connecting with USB

A scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer. The scanner emu­lates the keyboard.

1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner first, then to the com-

puter.

2. The scanner beeps.

power
supply is
included

Symbols in the back of this manual.

For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to the Honey­well “USB Application Note,” available at www.honeywellaidc.com.

Connecting with Keyboard Wedge

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” where the scanner provides data output that is similar to keyboard
entries. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:

1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cables from the back of the ter­minal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner and to the terminal/
computer.

3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.

4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps once.

The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface
with a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to bar code data.

Connecting with RS-232 Serial Port

only if
power
supply is
included

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.

3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the
two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. Once the scanner has been completely connected, power up the computer.

5. This interface programs 38,400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Connecting with RS485

A scanner can be connected for an IBM POS terminal interface.

2. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.

3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps once.

4. For further RS485 settings, refer to RS485 on page 2-2.

Reading Techniques

The scanner has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal
field of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar
code; it will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.

1 - 4

The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm)

Set Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or on
an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the
trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.

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. Contact Tech­nical Support (seeCustomer Support on page 12-1) 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.

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.
The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be
updated.

Resetting the 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.

1 - 5

The Serial Programming Commands starting on page 9-1 lists the factory
default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the
programming pages).

* Regular

Caps Lock

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-6.)

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

Country 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. 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.

2 - 18

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common

to U.S. keyboards).

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.
The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2
only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED, which
notes the Caps Lock status.

Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger­many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the Num­Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

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 Modifiers

This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes.

Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode On: The scanner sends key combina­tions for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred
mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy

7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an applica­tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and
punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use of the full
ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.

Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.

Default = None.

Note: When using 7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None, the host must insert at least a 1

bit delay between characters. If this is not done, a different RS232 Word
Length format must be used.

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 2-27) 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 2-27) 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.

CTS-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: When the host asserts CTS, scan­ning is enabled. When CTS is not asserted, scanning is disabled.

RTS On: RTS only is on during transmission. CTS is ignored.

Default = RTS/CTS Off.

XON/XOFF On

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 1­65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scan­ning Save. Default = 1000.

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.

ACK/NAK

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

Scanner to Bioptic Communication

The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell
scanners and bioptic scanners.

Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 timeout

must be set to 3000 in order to communicate with a bioptic scanner. See

"RS232 Modifiers" on page 2-22, and RS232 Timeout on page 2-27 for

further information.

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same
number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good
read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be
five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and

Trigger Modes

* Manual/Serial Trigger

Read Time-Out

Automatic Trigger

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig­ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 9-4). 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 Read Time-Out, which fol­lows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger
when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has
timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a
serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the
time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the
inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000.

Automatic Trigger

The scanner scans continuously using internal LEDs to detect bar codes.

3 - 5

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode

Continuous Illumination

Mode On

* Continuous Illumination

Mode Off

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for
ambient conditions until a change occurs in the scanner’s field of view. Then
the LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is
not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Continuous Illumination Mode (Manual Trigger only)

If you have several bar codes that are close together, you may wish to have a
continuous aiming beam on in order to properly aim the scanner at one bar
code. Scan the Continuous Illumination On bar code to program the scanner
for this capability. Once you have the aiming beam over the correct bar code,
pull the trigger to read the code. Scan the Continuous Illumination Off bar
code to turn off this feature.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the
scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner
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 scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a sec­ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the
same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at
POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar
code scanning is required. Default = Medium.

Reread Delay only works when in automatic trigger mode or presentation mode
(see page 3-5).

If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below,
then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the
inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Centering

Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure the scanner
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.

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or
output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the
scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify
using the Left of Centering Window, or Right of Centering Window bar
codes.

In the example below, the red line is the full scanner field of view and the white
boxed area is the centering window. The centering window has been set to
20% left and 30% right, as shown in the legend at the bottom. Since Bar Code
1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not
pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the left
or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the
centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan

Save. Default Centering = 40% for Left, 60% for Right.

Output Sequence Overview

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 Universal values,
shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all
formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

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 (inside back cover) to read
these options.

Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-

13).

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-3, 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.)

5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save
to save your entries.

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes,
but you want the image 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 is shown below:
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”

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 formatted characters as part of the
length. If you use the example on page 3-11, but assume a <CR> suffix and
specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLK sequence editor start command

Require Output Sequence

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

When the output sequence is Off, the barcode data is output to the host as the
image scanner decodes it.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is

turned on.

Multiple Symbols

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trig­ger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once,

new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection
is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.

No Read

With No Read turned On, the scanner sends an “NR” to the host if you pull and
release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad bar code). If No Read is
turned Off, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”
you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter (page 5-14). The
hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

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 length1-11

Suffix

1-11

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.

Note: Plug and Play bar codes for interface selections (see Programming the

Interface - Plug and Play on page 2-1) automatically program a CR/LF

suffix.

• 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-3, 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 200 characters, which

includes header information

4 - 1

To Add a Prefix or Suffix

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).

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 inside the back cover of this manual or

scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252), page A-3, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the inside the back cover of this man-

ual.

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 Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.

Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual. This corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab,
shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on
page A-3.

Step 4. 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.

4 - 2

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Add CR Suffix

All Symbologies

Add Prefix

Clear One Prefix

Clear All Prefixes

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 inside the back cover of this man-

ual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies

Function Code Transmit

* Enable

Disable

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 7-2. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-

verted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

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.

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

* Default Data Format

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’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. 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 5-4) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. 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

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 256 bytes, which includes
header information. No format can contain more than 50 bytes.

If a bar code is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there
is one, will be used on the bar code data. If there is no other data format, the
raw data is output.

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 below.

To Add a Data Format

If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, scan the
All Symbologies On code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a
particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for
that particular symbology.

Message Length

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 scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for
minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code
data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
