3800i/3800r

Getting Started

The 3800i and 3800r mark a new performance level for handheld scanners. Both the 3800i and 3800r are powered by Honeywell Adaptus
nology. The performance of Adaptus technology delivers aggressive read rates and depths of field on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix codes.
The 3800i handheld industrial image reader is the first industrial class reader to be powered by Honeywell Adaptus imaging technology. Adaptus technology allows you to read bar codes at ranges up to 82 inches on paper labels. In addi tion, this technology allows your 3800i to pick up and process your bar code image 270 times per second. Although the 3800i uses the same general ergo nomic design as the 3800r, the 3800i is built to withstand your toughest indus­trial applications.
Designed for today’s demanding retail and commercial environments, the 3800r offers a superior reading range, durability, and the ability to read poor quality bar codes. Linear imaging technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused aiming line, high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The 3800r is com fortable to hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for retail applications, as well as for all general scanning applications.

Reading Techniques

Good Read
Bad Read
Bad Read
Standard Product Default Settings
The 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 bar code; 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 imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trig ger, and center the aiming line on the symbol.

Manual Trigger, Low Power
The scanner powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time-Out bar code below. There is a delay of up to one second in operation when the scanner is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power time-out mode.

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.

Multiple Symbols

Note: This feature does not work when the scanner is in Low Power mode.
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trig­ger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned

Video Reverse

Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code.

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 break down of a message string:
-
Prefix
alpha numeric characters
Scanned Data
variable length1-11
Suffix
1-11 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 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.
4 - 1

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
the 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.
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 U.P.C. only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
Appendix A) for U.P.C.
the
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.
4 - 2

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:

Add CR Suffix
All Symbologies
Add Prefix
Clear One Prefix
Clear All Prefixes
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
the prefix or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to all Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all sym­bologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit

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
page 8-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-
verted to a key code before it is transmitted.
Supported Interface Keys starting on
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 scanner’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 on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the 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 = None.
(see Send Commands
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 scanner reverts to the primary data format. See
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 bar codes on the
page 5-
5 - 1
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.
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 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
Programming 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
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.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this func tion is enabled, the scanner 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 scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character other than a space.

ISBT 128 Concatenation

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard for communicating critical blood information in a uniform manner. The use of ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128 due to its high degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation of neighboring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product label. Use the bar codes below to turn concatenation on or off.
