About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Solaris 7980g area-imaging vertical slot scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell bar code 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 bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Button Functionality
Note: The 7980GEL does not support Button Functionality.
There are two buttons on the front of the device. The following is a brief description
of the settings for the buttons.
Beeper Volume Adjustment
When Volume Adjustment is set to On, pressing the Sound button repeatedly
scrolls through the volume settings for the scanner’s beeper. When set to Off, the
Sound button does not scroll through these settings. Default = Volume Adjustment
On.
10 Solaris 7980g User Guide
Beeper Frequency Adjustment
Frequency Adjustment Off
* Frequency Adjustment On
When Frequency Adjustment is set to On, holding the Sound button down for up to
3 seconds scrolls through the frequency (tone) settings for the scanner’s beeper.
When set to Off, the Sound button does not scroll through these settings. Default =
Frequency Adjustment On.
Reading Techniques
Present the bar code to the scanner. The LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light
level in the room is not high enough, the code may not be read.
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending
serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu
codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page xi) for further information.
Set Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scanning
the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the Programming Chart, then a Save code, that entire
Solaris 7980g User Guide 11
sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
Activate Custom Defaults
commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom
Defaults bar code.
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do
so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and
decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults
bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom
Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.
Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate
Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar code for
most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings
that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the
factory default settings.

PROGRAM THE INTERFACE
IBM PC AT and Compatibles with
CR suffix
Introduction
This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.
Program the Interface - Plug and Play
Plug and Play bar codes 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.
Keyboard Wedge
If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard
wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the bar code below. Keyboard wedge is
the default interface.
Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

RS232 Interface
IBM Port 5B Interface
IBM Port 9B
HHBCR-1 Interface
IBM Port 17 Interface
For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows operation
of the scanner in parallel with the integral keyboard. The following Laptop Direct
Connect bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix and turns on Emulate External Keyboard (page 28).
RS232 Serial Port
The RS232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a PC or
terminal. The following RS232 Interface bar code also programs a carriage return
(CR) and a line feed (LF) suffix, baud rate, and data format as indicated below. It
also changes the trigger mode to manual.
Option Setting
Baud Rate 115,200 bps
Data Format 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit
RS485
Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the scanner for an IBM
