About This Manual ...................................................... 1-1
Unpacking the Scanner............................................... 1-1
The 3800 is a high performance linear imaging scanner from Honeywell. The
3800 marks a new performance level for handheld scanners. Linear imaging
technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused aiming line, high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The 3800 is comfortable to hold, easy to
use, rugged, and excellent for all general scanning applications.
The 3900 is a fixed mount barcode scanner designed for retail kiosks, manufacturing WIP tracking, document processing, or other OEM applications. It is a
complete decoded output scanner that is easy to integrate. It communicates
with PCs or host terminals via keyboard wedge or a serial RS-232 interface.
The 3900 can be used internally or externally. The housing provides protection
from dust, dirt, and electrostatic discharge.
Typical Applications for the 3900
The 3900 is an ideal scanner
for retail kiosks. The bright
aiming line and large working
range make scanning easy for
untrained users.
The 3900 mounted in a stand
makes an efficient barcode
document reader; it takes up a
minimum of counter space and
reads and transmits data
quickly.
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
3800/3900. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell barcode 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 barcodes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking the Scanner
After you open the shipping carton, 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.
1 - 1
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Connecting the Scanner with Keyboard Wedge
A scanner 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.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner and to the terminal/
computer.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps twice.
5. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps once.

Keyboard Wedge Interface for IBM PC
AT and Compatibles
Specular Zone
The 3900 must be mounted at a 5 degree, or greater, angle to the barcode in
order to scan properly:
The scanner is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/
PC. You must program the scanner for your interface before barcode data can
be transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard
wedge, turn to page 2-1. If the scanner is connected via a serial port, turn to
page 2-7. If this is a wand emulation application, turn to page 2-13, and for a
non decoded output connection, turn to page 6-2.
Plug and Play
Plug and Play barcodes provide instant scanner set up for commonly used interfaces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the
interface in effect.
The most common interface is Keyboard Wedge. The following Keyboard
Wedge barcode also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

The following Plug and Play barcode for IBM XT and Compatibles also pro-

grams a carriage return (CR) suffix.
The following Plug and Play barcode for IBM PS-2 and Compatibles also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.
Use Non Decoded Output Laser Emulation when connecting to a secondary
terminal with integral decoding. This also sets the transmission rate to 36
scans per second and the polarity to white high.
For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect barcode allows operation of the integral keyboard. The following Laptop Direct Connect barcode also
programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.
The RS-232 Interface barcode is used when connecting to the serial port of a
PC or terminal. The following RS-232 Interface barcode adds a suffix of a CR
and LF, and also programs the parameters:

ParityEven
Setting
1 - 6
Option
RS-232 Interface
Wand Emulation Same Code
Wand Emulation (Code 39 Format)
Data Format7 data bits, parity bit, 1 stop bit (8 bit data)
In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the barcode then sends data in
the same format as a wand scanner. The Same Code format transmits UPC,
EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39.
The following Wand Emulation barcode sets the interface to Wand Emulation
mode and translates barcode data as Code 39 symbology. It also programs the
Transmission Rate to 25 inches per second, and Output Polarity to black high.
Note: For the 3800PDF model: When the 3800PDF interface is set to wand
emulation, all PDF417 barcode data is transmitted as Code 128. Data
from other symbologies follow the rules described above.

Serial Wedge
The 3800/3900 uses true and TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial
network. Use 3800/3900 serial wedge cables only to prevent damage to the
scanner. Refer to the serial interface programming (pages 2-7 to 2-11) to set
the baud rate and communications protocol.
To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, find the terminal ID in the Supported Terminal Chart and follow the instructions on page 2-1. Set the port to which you
want the scanned data to transmit. Port 1 corresponds to P1 on the output
cable and Port 2 corresponds to P2 on the output cable. Choosing Both sends
scanned data to P1 and P2.

Terminal Interfaces
Keyboard Wedge Connection
3800/3900 scanners are factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface to
an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and you do not
need to modify the settings, skip to Chapter 3 - Output.
If you programmed the scanner for a different terminal interface and/or you want
to change to an IBM PC AT and Compatibles Keyboard Wedge interface, scan
the barcode below.
Terminal ID
If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to "Supported Terminals" on page
2-2 through page 2-3, and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the
Terminal ID barcode below, then scan the numeric barcode(s) on the inside
back cover of this manual to program the scanner for your terminal ID. Scan
Save to save your selection.
For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003. You would scan the
Terminal ID barcode, then 0, 0, 3 from the inside back cover, then Save. If you
make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan the Dis-card code on the back cover, scan the Terminal ID barcode, scan the digits,
and the Save code again.
Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle your computer.
