Reading Techniques

Good Technique

Bad Technique

Bad Technique

The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field
of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it
will not read if the aiming beam 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 a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or
on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull
the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.

Reading PDF417 Bar Codes

Note: Applies to 3800gHD and 3800gPDF.

To read PDF417 bar codes with a PDF-enabled 3800gHD/3800gPDF, hold the
trigger down and move the scanner up and down so the aiming line sweeps
from the top of the bar code to the bottom, and back up. This ensures that the
entire code is scanned.

Trigger Mod es

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig­ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When in manual trigger
mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol­lows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when
using serial commands to trigger the imager. Once the imager has timed out,
you can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-

Default = 30,000.

Automatic Trigger

The imager scans continuously using internal LEDs to detect bar codes.

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for
ambient conditions until a change occurs in the imager’s field of view. Then the
LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not
high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Continuous Illumination Mode

If you have several bar codes that are close together, you may wish to have a
continuous aiming beam on in order to properly aim the imager at one bar code.
Scan the Continuous Illumination On bar code to program the imager for this
capability. Once you have the aiming beam over the correct bar code, pull the
trigger to read the code. Scan the Continuous Illumination Off bar code to
turn off this feature.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the
imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager
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 trigger pulls)
the imager reverts to the original hands free mode.

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:

Prefix

alpha numeric
characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-11

Suffix

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-3, 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 (included in

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-3, 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 ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3) 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-3, 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

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 imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of
these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on

page 8-3. When the imager 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.

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.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’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.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, 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

Default Data Format setting = None.

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 bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has
been read, the imager 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 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 bar codes on the

5 - 1

inside back cover to program the imager 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 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 bar code 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.

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

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code 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 bar
codes below. The imager will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with

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

Message Length

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 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 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

This function allows the imager to append the data from several Code 39 bar
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this func­tion is enabled, the imager stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a
space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately trans­mit the data. The imager stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are
read, deleting the first space from each. The imager transmits the appended
data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character other than a
space.
