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.

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.

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.

Serial Port Connection

RS-232 Interface

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface barcode, programs the scanner for an RS-232 interface at 9600 baud, even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit (8 bit data), and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

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 the back of your computer/ terminal. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. Plug the power pack into a power source.

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 characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-10

Suffix

1-10 alpha numeric 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 chart (page 4-5 ), 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.

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 (page 4-4)

for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

4 - 1

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion

Chart (page 4-5) 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.

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.

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 (page 4-4)

for UPC.

Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion

Chart (page 4-5) for the CR (carriage return).

Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

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 (page 4-4)

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 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

Function Code Transmit

* Enable

Disable

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 Section 10, Supported Interface Keys. When the 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).

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default settings.

Normally, when you scan a barcode, it gets outputted 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 imager. 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

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.

Default Data Format setting = None.

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 scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-

5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. If you are pro-

gramming 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 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.

On page 4-4, 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.

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. (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.

Alternate Data Format 3

When Data Formatter is turned off, the barcode data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options.

Default = Data Formatter On.

When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited format or the scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one barcode using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are programmed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format barcodes below. The scanner will scan the next barcode, formatting the data with

the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

* Wand Emulation

Code 39 Format

Wand Emulation

Same Code Format

RS-232 Interface

Secondary Interface

By switching interface cables, the 3800/3900 scanner can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface), in addition to the host terminal (primary interface).

Note: Secondary interfaces do not apply to the 3800XX-15.

The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.

Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation

In Wand Emulation mode, the 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 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high.

Default = Code 39 Format.

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.

Secondary RS-232 Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.

RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary

secondary mode will affect both interfaces.

Use this selection 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.

Non Decoded Output Laser Emulation Transmission Rate

The Transmission Rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters.

Default = 36 scans/second.

Non Decoded Output Laser Emulation Polarity

The Polarity can be sent as standard with white bars high, or reversed with black bars high.

Message Length Description

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 imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the imager 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 digit value of the message length and Save barcodes 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.
