Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Xenon™ 1900 and 1902 area-imaging scanners. 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 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

Corded Scanner USB
Connection:

Cordless Base USB
Connection:

Connecting with USB

A scanner or a cordless base 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 - 2

2. Make sure the cables are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the

Corded Scanner
Keyboard Wedge
Connection:

cordless base and that the base sits flat on a horizontal surface.

3. The scanner beeps.

4. Verify the scanner or cordless base 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 or cordless base can be connected between the keyboard and
PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a
portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode.
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 - 3

3. Make sure the cables are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the

Cordless Base
Keyboard Wedge
Connection:

cordless base and that the base sits flat on a horizontal surface.

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

5. 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.

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 RS232 Serial Port

Corded Scanner
RS232 Serial Port
Connection:

Cordless Base
RS232 Serial Port
Connection:

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.

Note: For the scanner or cordless base to work properly, you must have the

correct cable for your type of terminal/computer.

1 - 5

3. Make sure the cables are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the

Corded Scanner
RS485
Connection:

cordless base and that the base sits flat on a horizontal surface.

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

5. Once the scanner or cordless base has been fully connected, power
up the computer.

This interface programs 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Connecting with RS485

A scanner or cordless base can be connected for an IBM POS terminal

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 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, pull the trigger, 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 Technical Assistance on page 14-1)
for further information.
