Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Voyager 1250g single-line laser 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.

wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data termi­nal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an
example of a keyboard wedge connection:

1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the
terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner and to the
terminal/computer.

3. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner beeps.

4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample

Symbols in the back of this manual. The scanner beeps once.

1 - 4

Reading Techniques

Good Read Bad Read

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 Technical Assistance on page 12-1) for
further information.

Setting 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.

1 - 5

When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom

Save Custom Defaults

Set Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

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.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Acti­vate Custom Defaults bar code below. This 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.

1 - 6

Resetting the Factory Defaults

!

Remove Custom Defaults

Activate Defaults

This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the
original factory defaults.

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default set­tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate
Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.

The Serial Programming Commands, beginning on page 9-1 list the factory
default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the
programming pages).

USB HID Bar Code Scanner

Scan one of the following codes to program the scanner for USB PC Key­board or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes also adds a CR

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.

USB Serial Emulation

Scan one of the following codes to program the scanner to emulate a regu­lar RS232-based COM Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC,
you will need to download a driver from the Honeywell website

(www.honeywellaidc.com). The driver will use the next available COM Port

number. Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the scanner as a USB
CDC class device and automatically uses a class driver.

Scanning either of these codes also adds a CR and LF.

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner
using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is
turned Off, no data flow control is used.

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.

Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS
when it has a character 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

Chart, then scanning Save.

Default = 1000 ms (1 second).

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start
sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off).
When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner,

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or
a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the
communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar
codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and
the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by
scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan
ACK/NAK Off.

Output Sequence Example

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar
codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and
Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command

9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to

count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of
the length. If you use the example on page 3-18, but assume a <CR> suf­fix and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

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 &
control characters

Scanned Data

variable length1-11

Suffix

1-11
alpha numeric &
control 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.

prefix = None. Default suffix is dependent on interface

• 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), beginning on page A-4, 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.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all
symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix
or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 32 characters,
which includes header information.

.

Default

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 the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the

4 - 1

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.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252) on page A-4, 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 the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for
U.P.C.

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-4, 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. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single sym­bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char-
acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

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.

* Default Data Format

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 create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send

Commands on page 5-4) 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 Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 256 bytes, which includes
header information. No format can contain more than 50 bytes.

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 below.

Default Data Format setting = None.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).
Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your 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 which alternate format

5 - 1

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page

Enter Data Format

Save

Discard

5-10 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the

Programming Chart 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 Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1, 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

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 (page 5-4). 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 to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving

your changes.

Check for a number

EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor

position. The format is aborted if the character is not numeric.

Check for non-numeric character

ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the

current cursor position. The format is aborted if the character is
numeric.

Insert a delay

EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting

from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands
for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only
be used with keyboard wedge interfaces.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as
read, including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created
and saved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format
requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not
transmitted. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating
an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements
generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without
generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Choose one of the following options.

Default = Data Formatter On, Not

Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone

When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data for­mat, the scanner normally generates an error tone. However, you may
want to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you
scan the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that
doesn’t conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone

Primary/Alternate Data Formats

You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your
primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under
1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar
codes below.

Single Scan Data Format Change

You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next bar
code is scanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format
you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).

For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as

Message Length Description

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 scanner will issue an error tone. You may wish to set the same
value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner 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
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes 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.

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatena­tion, the scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character,
adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two mes­sages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.
