About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Voyager™ 1400g area-imaging scanner. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Note: The selections in this User’s Guide are dependent on the Voyager 1400g
model you have purchased. PDF bar codes can only be read by models 1400gPDF or 1400g2D and cannot be read by model 1400g1D. 2 dimensional bar codes can only be read by model 1400g2D and cannot be read by models 1400gPDF or 1400g1D.
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 Your Device

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 the Device

Connecting with USB

A scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer.
1 - 1
2. The scanner beeps.
3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual.
The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 2-4 for other USB terminal settings.
For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to “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 cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the terminal/computer.
1 - 2
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.
1 - 3

Connecting with RS232 Serial Port

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.
Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for
your type of terminal/computer.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.
This interface programs 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
1 - 4

Connecting with RS485

A scanner or cordless base can be connected for an IBM POS terminal interface.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device, then to the com­puter.
2. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.
3. Verify the scanner or cordless base operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps once.
For further RS485 settings, refer to RS485, page 2-2.
1 - 5

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.
1 - 6

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.

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.
2 - 15
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
* Regular
Caps Lock
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.

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. 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. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 7-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it does not translate any prefix or suffix information.
Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.
2 - 18
Turbo M o d e: The scanner sends characters to a terminal faster. If the terminal

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

scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

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.

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 Centering On, 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.

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.

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
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal 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.

Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D. (see Symbology Charts on page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.
Clear all Data Formats
This clears all data formats.
Save to exit and save your data format changes. Discard to exit without saving any data format changes.

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.
