About the Battery

Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any
battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not
covered by the warranty.

Power is supplied to the cordless image scanner by a rechargeable battery that
is integrated in the image scanner handle. Each image scanner is shipped with
a battery.

(See Product Specifications

beginning on page 11-1

.)

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the image scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to "2020 LED Sequences and Their Meaning" on
page 1-15 for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.

• Place the image scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate
power supply.

Battery Recommendations

• Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully
charged for maximum charge capacity.

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

• Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the
battery.

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

• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the 3820/
3820i.

• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause
severe personal injury.

• 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 or an authorized Honeywell International Inc. service center for
inspection. Refer to Product Service and Repair on page 13-2 for additional
information

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 batteries to Honeywell (postage paid). The shipper is
responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local
laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, mani-

Service Department (see 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.

Base Charge Mode

* Automatic

Low Charge Rate

Full Charge Rate

Battery Charge Off

In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the cir­cuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied
to the base:

Condition 1:9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector
Condition 2:12VDC host power source only
Condition 3:5VDC host power source only

The chart below describes each selection by condition.

Condition 1 Condition 2 Condition 3
Automatic Fast Charge Slow Charge No Charge
Full Charge Rate Fast Charge Fast Charge No Charge

Low Charge Rate Slow Charge Slow Charge No Charge
Battery Charge Off No Charge No Charge No Charge

Using a slow charge rate draws less current (power) from the input power
source when the battery is mostly discharged.

Scan the appropriate barcode for your application.

Linking Image Scanner to Base

Image Scanner*

2020 Base

Green LED

Red LED

*3820 shown

Unlink Image Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image scan­ner are not linked. Once the image scanner is placed into the base, the soft­ware automatically links the image scanner and the base. If the image scanner
and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this
is the first time that the image scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a
short chirp when their radios link. At this point, you are set to one image scan­ner to one base.

1. Provide power to the base.

2. Place the 3820/3820i into the base. The image scanner and base link.

3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the image scanner provides
a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the image scanner has
successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red
LED lights, the image scanner has not linked to the base.

Image Scanner Modes

The 3820/3820i is capable of working in single image scanner mode, multiple
image scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices, other than the 2020 base.

Unlinking the Image Scanner

If the base has an image scanner linked to it, that image scanner must be
unlinked before a new image scanner can be linked. Once the previous image
scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base. To unlink an
image scanner from the base, scan the Unlink Image Scanner barcode below.

Single Image Scanner Operation

* Locked Link Mode

(Single Image Scanner)

Open Link Mode

(Single Image Scanner)

Override Locked Image Scanner

(Single Image Scanner)

There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link
Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate barcodes included in the
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one
mode to another.

Locked Link Mode - Single Image Scanner

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

To use a different image scanner, you need to unlink the original image scanner
by scanning the Unlink Image Scanner barcode. (See "Image Scanner

Modes" on page 1-5.)

Open Link Mode - Single Image Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image scan­ner are not linked. By placing an image scanner into the base, they establish a
link. Placing a different image scanner into the base establishes a new link and
the old image scanner is unlinked. Each time an image scanner is placed into
the base, it becomes the linked image scanner; the old image scanner is
unlinked.

Default = Locked Link Mode

.

Override Locked Image Scanner

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

Multiple Image Scanner Operation

Multiple Image Scanner Operation

To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the barcode
below. Once you scan this barcode, the image scanner is unlinked from the
base and must be placed into the base to re-link.

Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image

scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth image scanner until you
unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of
range.

Image Scanner Name

You are able to assign a name to each image scanner you are using. It will be
helpful to name the image scanners if you have multiple image scanners linked
to one base so that you will be able to control the image scanner receiving
imaging commands sent from the base. The default name for a 3820, for exam­ple, is “3820”. If you have more than one 3820s linked to a base, the first image
scanner that is linked to the base receives commands addressed using this
name.

Changing Image Scanner Name - Serially

If you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (refer
to "Menu Command Syntax" on page 10-1) or via a barcode command. To
change the name serially, unlink all except one of the 3820/3820i devices from
the base. Send “:3820:BT_NAM
name. If you wish to change the name of additional 3820/3820i devices, re-link
them one at a time and repeat the “:3820:BT_NAM

Alternatively, you may change the name with a barcode command if you cannot
send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the barcode
below and scan a number for the image scanner name. For example, if you had
7 image scanners to one base, scan the barcode below with the first image
scanner, scan the 1 barcode on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual and scan Save. Then scan the Reset barcode and wait for the
image scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next barcode. Repeat
that process for image scanner number 2, 3, 4 etc.

Scan the Reset barcode after each name change

If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the image scanner, create a Code
128 barcode containing “~BT_NAM
decimal 83), where

Image Scanner Report

Image Scanner Report

Scan the barcode below to generate a report for the connected image scanners.
The report indicates the port, work group, image scanner name, and address.

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to seven image scanners linked to one base.
You can also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the image
scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one
work group. If you want each image scanner to have unique settings (e.g.,
beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each image
scanner to its own unique work group and may program each image scanner
independently. Visual XPress (page 9-1) makes it easy for you to program your
system for use with multiple image scanners and multiple work groups.

The image scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the
image scanner is connected or reconnected to a base, the image scanner is
updated with the latest settings from the base for its work group. The image
scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base. If an
image scanner is removed from one base and placed into another base, it will
be updated with the new base settings for whatever work group that the image
scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the image scanner was in
work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the sec­ond base with the associated settings.

Basic Operation of the Cordless System

Cordless Base

The cordless base provides the link between the cordless image 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 image 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 base also is the image scanner battery charger with the external 9VDC
power source applied. Once you place the image scanner into base, the base
green LED responds according to the Charge Status Indicator table above.

The base can be powered by the Host (parasitic power mode). If the base is in
parasitic power mode without the 9VDC power source, the base will still func­tion, but will not charge the battery.

1 - 16

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

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

Cordless Image Scanner

The cordless image scanner enables fast and accurate barcode scanning using
a non-contact linear image scanner.

The image scanner is comprised of a linear image scanner, a decode/control
assembly, and an RF communication module. The scan engine performs the
barcode image illumination and sensing. The decode/control assembly coordi­nates the central communication activities including: capturing and decoding
the barcode image data, performing software activities (parameter menuing,
visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data translation required for
the host system. The RF communication module performs the data exchange
between the image scanner and the base.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ­ate an image scanner to a base, as you move an image scanner out of range,
bring an image scanner back in range, or swap image scanners between two
cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system oper­ating conditions.

Linking Process

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

Image Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless image scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is
not transmitting barcode data. Whenever the image scanner can’t communi­cate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the image scanner is
out of range and you scan a barcode, the image scanner issues a triple beep
indicating no communication with the base. In addition, your image scanner
and base can sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. See Out-of-

Range Alarm on page 1-12.

Image Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The image scanner re-links if the image scanner or the base have been reset or
out of range. If the image scanner re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the
re-linking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete.

The image scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC
symbols, others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base
when back in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode,
but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communica­tion is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the image scanner pro­duces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless image scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a
“good read” indication (a green LED on the image scanner and an audible
beep) after a barcode is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged
receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way
communication between the image scanner and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was
received by the host. The cordless image scanner recognizes data acknowl­edgement (ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data
has been properly sent to the base, the image scanner issues an error indica­tion. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host
system.

Connecting the Base When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge)

A 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 to the terminal/computer.

1 - 18

2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.

3. Connect the
appropriate
interface cable
to the base and
to the terminal/
computer and
keyboard. Make
sure the cables
are secured in
the wireways in
the bottom of
the base and
that the base
sits flat on a
horizontal
surface.

4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.

5. Program the base for the keyboard wedge interface. See "Keyboard Wedge

Connection" on page 1-21.)

6. Verify the base operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols
in the back of this manual.

Note: Without using the 9-volt external, power supply, the base only uses

enough power from the host to operate the interface. The image
scanner’s battery is not charged when in this mode. Using the 9-volt,
external power supply allows the image scanner’s battery to be charged,
and no power is drawn from the host.

Bad Read

Standard Product Default Settings

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

The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7
cm) from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an
object), hold the image scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, pull
the trigger, and center the aiming line on the symbol.

Host ACK Selection

Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject
incoming barcode data and notify the operator of these actions. These applica­tions require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted
from the source image scanner. Turning the Host ACK selection on, configures
the cordless system image scanners to respond to commands from the host
system.

The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:

• The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS-232 (terminal ID =

000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).

• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.

• Host ACK must be enabled (page 2-12).

• System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than

9600.

• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the barcode data,
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape
commands to the source image scanner.

Escape commands are addressed to the source image scanner via “Application
Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all image scanners in a group respond
to that command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each
image scanner is assigned to its own group in host ACK mode.

The commands to which the image scanner responds are listed on page 2-13.
The <ESC> is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y <ESC> x, where “y” is
the application work group number, “<ESC> x” is the escape command, and the
comma is the terminator

, which is required.

Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An

* Host ACK Off

example of a command string is listed below.
0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6,
The above example will make an image scanner in application work group zero

beep low, medium, high.
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:

• The image scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/host system.
No audible or visual indication is emitted until you receive an escape
command. The image scanner read illumination goes out upon a successful
read.

• Image Scanner is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from
the host system (via the base) or 2) the image scanner “times out.”

• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the image scanner is ready to
scan again, and the process repeats.

Time out is indicated by three rapid beeps at the same pitch. A time out occurs
if the source image scanner does not receive a valid escape command in 10
seconds. If a time out occurs, the operator should check the host system to
understand why a response to the image scanner was not received.

Wand Emulation Connection

The Wand Emulation Connection barcodes should be used if you want to
change the terminal ID
tings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play barcodes to program
your image scanner to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug &
Play barcodes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal
ID. Please refer to Wand Emulation Plug & Play on page 1-22 for further infor­mation.

In Wand Emulation mode, the image scanner decodes the barcode then sends
data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all
symbologies to Code 39.

The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5

Image Scanner Trigger Modes

Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power

You can activate the image scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a
serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 10-4). When in
manual trigger mode, the image scanner scans until a barcode is read, or until
the trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the image scanner scans until a barcode has been read or
until the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the image scanner can
also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-

Out (Serial Trigger Mode), which follows).

scanner is placed in the 2020 cradle and the battery is in the process of being
charged, the image scanner will not go into power down mode.

Note: When the image scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger 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 image scanner will then be
ready to use.

Automatic Trigger

The image scanner scans continuously at full power with illumination fully on.

Presentation Mode

The LEDs are off until a barcode is presented to the image scanner. Then the
LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient
light to detect the barcodes. If the light level in the room is not high enough,
Presentation Mode will not work properly.

window is set to 40% left edge and 60% right edge, only the
barcode that intersects that window will be decoded.

Preferred Symbology

The 3820/3820i can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher
priority over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies
appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.

For example, you may be using the imager in a retail setting to read UPC
symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since
some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can
use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of
the Code 39.

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority,
or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the
imager ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on
page 3-9) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority
symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.

If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the imager
will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no bar
code in the imager’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is
reported.

Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology.

, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.

Video Reverse

Video Reverse is used to allow the image scanner to read barcodes that are
inverted. The “Off” barcode below is an example of this type of barcode.

Note: If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to

read the menu barcodes and then re-enabled after menuing is
completed.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the barcode data. This group of barcode 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 &
control characters

Scanned Dat a

variable length1-11

Suffix

1-11
alpha numeric &
control characters

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 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) on 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.

.

Default prefix = None.

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 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 Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

4 - 1

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

1252) on page A-2, 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 UPC only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

the Appendix A) for UPC.

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) on page A-2, 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. 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.

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 Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the
prefix or suffix.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the image 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 image scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the
scan code is converted 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.

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay barcode, then set the num-
ber of steps to 0. Scan the SAVE barcode using the Programming Chart inside
the back cover of this manual.

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

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner’s output. For
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain
points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages
are used only if you wish to alter the output.

None.

Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically; however when
you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on
page 5-2) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the image 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

Default Data Format setting =

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 on page 5-4.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).

Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan
one barcode using a different data format. After the one barcode has
been read, the image scanner reverts to the primary data format. See

page 5-5.) If you are programming the 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 the
alternate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter­minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric barcodes on the
inside back cover to program the image 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.

5 - 1

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Appendix A, 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.

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 Program-

ming 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 the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the
symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanu­meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual to save your entries.

Other Programming Selections

• 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 alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the
Supported Terminals Chart on page 2-2), Code I.D. (refer to the Symbology

Chart on page A-1), and the barcode data length for the specific data format

that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.

• Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.

• Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

Message Length

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies.
If the data length of the scanned barcode doesn’t match the valid reading length,
the image scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value
for minimum and maximum length to force the image scanner to read fixed
length barcode data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 15 characters.

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the

Code 39 Append

This function allows the image scanner to append the data from several Code

function is enabled, the image scanner stores those Code 39 barcodes that
start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immedi­ately transmit the data. The image scanner stores the data in the order in which
the barcodes are read, deleting the first space from each. The image scanner
transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 barcode that starts with a
character other than a space.

Code 32 Pharmaceutical (PARAF)
