Reading Techniques
Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
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 over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.
The aiming beam or pattern 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 or
pattern 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 Customer Support on page 12-1) for
further information.

Setting Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
Set Custom Defaults
Activate 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 scannning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command
requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that
entire sequence will be 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.
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.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar
code for most users. It 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.

Shift Lock
Automatic Caps Lock
Autocaps via NumLock
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).
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 . This selection
can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-
many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

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.
Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for
Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-16). Otherwise, your output may not be as
expected.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.
Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example,
when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would
display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart
(Code Page 1252) on page A-4. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the
first column of the chart).
Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out
RS232 Receiver Time-Out
Flow Control, No Timeout
* RTS/CTS Off
Two-Direction Flow Control
Flow Control with Timeout
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out
expires. A manual trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232 receiver is
sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the timeout. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver
takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver
time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside
back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds.
Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).
RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using
software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no
data flow control is used.
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.
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 2-23) 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.
Default = RTS/CTS Off.
2 - 22
RS232 Timeout
RS232 Timeout
* XON/XOFF 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 1-5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back
cover, then scanning Save.
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
2 - 23
the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by

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 Baud Rate on page 2-20, and RS232 Timeout on page 2-23 for
further information.

for a response. Default =Bioptic ACK/NAK Off.
Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Timeout
This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for a bioptic
scanner’s ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar code below, then set the timeout (from 1-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back
cover, then scanning Save. Default = 5100.

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 LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the
number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar
code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual. Default = 1.
Number of Beeps – Error
The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the scanner for a bad
read or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For example, if you program
this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five
LED flashes in response to an error. To change the number of error beeps,
scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save
bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera. The lower the ambient light
in the room, the brighter the LEDs need to be so the scanner can
“see” the bar codes.
In-Stand Sensor Mode
This feature senses when the scanner is removed from the stand and tells it to
begin manual triggering. When Sensor On is enabled, the scanner defaults to
Presentation Mode when it is in the stand, and to Manual Trigger Mode when it
is removed from the stand. Default = Sensor On.

Sensitivity
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until
a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LED brightens to read the
code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may
not work properly.
Idle Illumination - Presentation Mode
Scan one of the bar codes below to set the LED illumination for the scanner
when it is in an idle state in Presentation Mode. Default = High.
Note: If you use one of the lower Idle Illumination settings, and there is not
enough ambient light, the scanner may have difficulty detecting when
a bar code is presented to it. If the scanner has difficulty “waking up”
to read bar codes, you may need to set the Idle Illumination to a
brighter setting.
Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the
scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity,
scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-
20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting,
and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is
in the stand to make sure the scanner reads only those bar codes intended
by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together,
Presentation Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see
Centering (page 3-11).
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded
or output by the scanner. If Presentation Centering is turned on by scanning Presentation CenteringOn, the scanner only reads codes that pass
through the centering window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window, Left,
and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering
window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% 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.
Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in
order to be read. It does not need to pass completely through the
centering window.

Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.
CodeGate
When CodeGate is On, the button is used to allow decoded data to be transmitted to the host system. The scanner remains on, scanning and decoding bar
codes, but the bar code data is not transmitted until the button is pressed.
When CodeGate is Off, bar code data is transmitted when it is decoded.
Default = CodeGate Off Out-of-Stand.

Hands Free Time-Out
When this mode is selected, your scanner is optimized to read bar codes from
mobile phone or other LED displays. However, the speed of scanning printed
bar codes may be slightly lower when this mode is enabled.
Note: To turn off Mobil Phone Read Mode, scan the Manual Trigger Mode bar
code (see page 3-5).
Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the scanner’s button is pressed 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 button
presses) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration
(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default =
5,000 ms.
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.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation
Centering (page 3-8).
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or

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 8-2), 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 Formatting beginning on page 5-1).
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:
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 Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, 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.
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 the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the
4 - 1
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 symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, 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 of this manual.
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 Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for
U.P.C..
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), beginning on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
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. 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.
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 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.

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 7-3. 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.

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 create 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 Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.
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.
Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).
Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an
alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format
5 - 1
you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page
Enter Data Format
Save
Discard
5-8 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) 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.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, 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
inside the back cover of this manual.
Note: If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35
for the Code I.D.
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 inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50
characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating
all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-4). Scan the symbols
that represent the command you want to enter.
Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving
your changes.

Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on
page A-4 for decimal, hex and character codes.
Check for a number
EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor
position. The format is aborted if the character is not numeric.
Check for non-numeric character
ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the
current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is
numeric.
Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting
from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands
for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only
be used with keyboard emulation.
Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read, including prefixes and suffixes.
You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created
and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.
Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format
requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not
transmitted.

All Symbologies
All Symbologies On
All Symbologies Off
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.
Note: When All Symbologies On is scanned, 2D Postal Codes are not enabled.
2D Postal Codes must be enabled separately.
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 scanner will issue an error tone. 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.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
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.

Codabar Start/ Stop Characters
Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code.
You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters.
Default = Don’t Transmit.
Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can
program the scanner to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check
characters. Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar
code data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will
only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.

Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character,
adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Select Require to prevent the scanner from decoding a single “D” Codabar
symbol without its companion. This selection has no effect on Codabar
symbols without Stop/Start D characters.

Full ASCII
* Full ASCII Off
Full ASCII On
If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs within
the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single character. For example:
$V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as
the ASCII character #. Default = Off.
Character pairs /M and /N decode as a minus sign and period respectively.
Character pairs /P through /Y decode as 0 through 9.
Code 39 Code Page
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the
data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be
because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that
is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case,
scan the bar code below, select the code page with which the bar codes
were created (see ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements on page A-
