About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Voyager 1200g/1202g linear scanner. 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.

Reading Techniques

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre­sponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered horizontally over the bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of
the bar code. It will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.

The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele­ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple
symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate dis­tance from the target, press the button, and center the aiming beam on the sym­bol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be
necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

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 Limited Warranty on page 13-2) for fur­ther information.

Setting Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

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 each
menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scan­ning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire
sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom
Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom
defaults.

When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom
defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Save Defaults bar code also

causes both the scanner and the base
unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link
before any setup codes are entered. See Cordless System

Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

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.

USB HID

Scan the following code to program the scanner for USB HID bar code
scanners.

HID Fallback Mode

If you attempt to set a USB interface for your scanner, but the setup fails on
the host system, you can program the scanner to fall back to a HID key­board interface after a set length of time. For example, if the scanner is
configured for Serial Emulation Mode, but the host system does not have
the correct driver, the scanner would fail. If you set the HID Fallback Mode
for a set length of time, for example, 5 minutes, the scanner would change
to a HID keyboard interface after 5 minutes of trying to configure as serial
emulation.

A unique beep sequence indicates that this mode has been entered. While
in HID Fallback Mode, the scanner will not scan normal bar codes and
sounds a unique beep sequence that indicates the scanner is in Fallback
Mode. Menu codes can still be scanned while in HID Fallback Mode, allow­ing you to change the scanner’s programming.

“make codes” and “break codes.” A make code is sent when a key is
pressed or held down. A break code is sent when a key is released. The
following selections allow you to suppress or transmit the character
sequence of the break code.

Default = Transmit.

Keyboard Wedge Defaults

If you want the custom keyboard wedge default settings restored to your
scanner, scan the Keyboard Wedge Defaults bar code below. This resets
the scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on

RTS/CTS Off: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used, but
RTS is still active.

RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow con­trol is used and RTS is inactive.

Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to
send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.

Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS
when it has a character to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be
asserted by the host

Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for
the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to
transmit.

Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data
to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-22) for CTS to
be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted,
the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner,
data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON
character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off

Cordless System Operation

Note: This chapter applies only to cordless scanning systems. It does not apply

to corded scanners.

How the Charge and Communications Base Works

A cordless charge and communications base provides the link between the
cordless scanner and the host system. The base contains an interface assem­bly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module per­forms the data exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface
assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities
including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system,
performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support,
power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.

The cordless charge base is also a scanner’s battery charger. Refer to

Charging Information, page 3-4, for additional information.

Linking the Scanner to a Base

Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the
base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put the
scanner in the base to establish a link. The red LED on the base lights to indi­cate power, and the green LED flashes to indicate the scanner’s battery is
charging.

If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any
feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both
devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. That indicates that the scan­ner is linked to the base.

bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a single good read
beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base.
If you receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to
the base. Refer to page 12-5 for troubleshooting information.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read”
indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is
scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is
possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between
the scanner and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base. The
cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base. If it
cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base, the
scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned
data was received by the host system.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The cordless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio to transmit and receive
data between the scanner and the base. Designed for point-to-point and multi­point-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM
band. This band sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a
radio signal with randomly changing frequencies. This makes the cordless sys­tem highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resis-

3 - 2

tant to noisy RF environments. The Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides a
communication range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and base, depend­ing on the environment.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ­ate the scanner with its base, as you move a scanner out of range, or bring a
scanner back in range. The following information explains the cordless system
operating conditions.

Linking Process

Once a scanner is placed into a cordless charge base, the scanner’s bat­tery charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the scan­ner and links it to the base depending on the selected link mode.

Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not
transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with
the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range
and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no
communication with the base. A cordless charge base can also sound an
alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm, page 3-12.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base have been reset, or the
scanner comes back into range. If the scanner relinks, you will hear a sin­gle chirp when the relinking process is complete. Refer to Out-of-Range

Alarm on page 3-12 for further information.

OutofRangeandBackintoRange with Batch Mode On

The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C.
symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to
the base when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 3-13).

You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear
a short buzz when you press the button if the radio communication is not
working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a
series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.

Page Button

When you press the Page button on the base, the scanner associated with
that base will begin beeping (3 short and 1 long beep). If you press the but­ton on a scanner that is beeping in response, or press the Page button on
the base a second time, the scanner will stop beeping. See Paging on
page 3-8 for further information about Page Button settings.

• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and

can also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the
battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge
conditioning on this type of battery.

• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.

• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the

scanner.

• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be

depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate
charge.

• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to

Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for
inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page 13-1 for additional
information.

There may be times when you want to charge your scanner, but not link to
the base. For example, if a scanner is linked to a Bluetooth device and you
need to charge the scanner, but want to retain your existing link.

In order to program the base for Charge Only Mode, you must link a scan­ner to it. Once the scanner is linked to the base, scan the Charge Only
Mode bar code. Any subsequent scanners placed in that base will charge
without linking to it. The scanner used to program the base remains linked
to the base. To unlink this scanner, scan Unlink Scanner on page 3-11.

Note: When in Charge Only Mode, the scanner periodically wakes up and

beeps. See "Power Up Beeper" on page 4-1 to change this setting.

If you want to charge a scanner and link to the base, use Charge and Link
Mode. If the base is programmed for Charge Only Mode, you must link a
scanner to it first in order to program it for Charge and Link Mode. Scan
the linking bar code on the base to link the scanner, then scan Charge and

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner

If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed
into the base. If you do place a different scanner into a base, it will
charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.

To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by
scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See Scanner Modes, page 3-

10.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not
linked to a base. A link is established when the scanner is placed into
a base. When in Open Link Mode, a new link is established when a
new scanner is placed in the base. Each time a scanner is placed into
a base, the scanner becomes the linked to the base and the old scan­ner is unlinked.

Default = Open Link Mode

of the base. The data is automatically transmitted to the base once the scanner
is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes
scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the scanner
must be moved back into range of the base so data can be transmitted.

Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of
the base. To transmit the stored data to the base, either place the scanner in
the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-19). When the scanner’s
buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to
scan bar codes again, the data must be transmitted to the base.

Default = Batch Mode Off.

Batch Mode Beep

When scanning in Batch Mode, the scanner beeps every time a bar code is
scanned. When Batch Mode Beep is On, you will also hear a click when
each bar code is sent to the host. If you do not want to hear these clicks,
scan Batch Mode Beep Off.

Default = Batch Mode Beep Off.

Batch Mode Quantity

When in Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-14), you may wish to transmit the
number of multiple bar codes scanned, rather than a single bar code multi­ple times. For example, if you scan three bar codes called XYZ with Batch
Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit your data it will appear as XYZ

3 - 14

three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the Quantity Codes

Batch Mode Quantity On

* Batch Mode Quantity Off

(page 3-16), you could output your data as “00003, XYZ” instead.

Default =

Batch Mode Quantity Off.

Entering Quantities

Quantity Codes (page 3-16) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item
scanned, up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits are shifted from right to
left, so if a 5th digit is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the
2nd, 3rd and 4th digits are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.

For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has
been set to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345.

Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.

1. Scan the item's bar code.

2. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.

1. Scan the item's bar code.

2. Scan the quantity 1 bar code.

3. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.

5. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.
Example: Change a quantity of 103 to 10.
To correct an incorrect quantity, scan the quantity 0 bar code to replace the

incorrect digits, then scan the correct quantity bar codes.

1. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 1030.

2. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0300.

3. Scan the quantity 1 bar code to change the quantity to 3001.

Using the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices

Non-Base BT Connection

Base BT Connection

Bluetooth PIN

The scanner can be used either with the CCB00-010BT charge base or with
other Bluetooth devices. Those devices include personal computers and lap­tops.

Scanning the following Non-Base BT Connection bar code allows the scanner
to be used with other Bluetooth devices (e.g., PC/laptop). After you scan the
Non-Base BT Connection bar code, follow the instructions supplied with your
Bluetooth device to locate the scanner and connect to it.

Note: If you go out of range with your scanner, the scanner will not reconnect to

the Bluetooth device when it is back in range.

To relink to the charge base, scan the Base BT Connection bar code.

Changing the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code

Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security fea­tures. Your scanner’s default PIN is 0000, which you may need to enter the
first time you connect to your non-base Bluetooth device. To change the
PIN, scan the following bar code and then scan the appropriate numeric
bar codes from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this man­ual. (The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters.) Scan Save to
save your selection.

Default = 0000.

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity

The following settings can help you customize the relinking behavior of the
cordless system to obtain the best compromise between convenience and low
interference.

Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless

networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.

Maximum Link Attempts

Maximum Link Attempts

Relink Time-Out

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scan­ner tries to form a connection with a base. During the connection setup
process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a
base. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with
other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited
by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the
scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a base. Pressing the scanner’s
button or placing the scanner in the base resets the attempt count and the
scanner will again try to link.

Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of
attempts for the setting (from 0-255) from the inside back cover. Scan
Save to save the setting.

Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts

to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until the Power Time-Out
Timer setting (see page 3-13) expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode
is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner
to only attempt linking one time after a button press.

Default = 0.

Relink Time-Out

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt
to link a scanner to a base typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time
when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out con­trols the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one
connection attempt and the start of the next.

Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for
the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the
setting.

Default = 3 seconds.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples

Default values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to
connect to the base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 sec­onds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the
scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.

scanner to the custom default settings (see Setting Custom Defaults on
page 1-8). 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.

Presentation Modes

When the scanner is in the stand, by default, bar codes are automatically
read when they are detected in the scanner’s field of view. When the scan­ner is out of the stand, by default you must push the button on top of the
scanner to read a bar code. Use the following commands to adjust how the
scanner behaves when it is out of the stand.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the

battery will not charge unless the power supply is plugged into the
base’s auxiliary power port.

Presentation Mode Out-of-Stand: When the scanner is not in the stand,
it automatically detects bar codes, then scans and transmits the data. The
laser turns off afterward. (If you are accustomed to a Voyager 9520, this
setting is the same as the 9520’s default.)

Presentation Mode with CodeGate® Out-of-Stand: When the scanner
is not in the stand, it automatically detects bar codes and decodes them.
However, the data is not transmitted until you press the button. The laser
remains on briefly after the transmission. (If you are accustomed to a Voy­ager 9540, this setting is the same as the 9540’s default.)
