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.

Unpacking Your Device

After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following
steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Connecting the Device

Connecting with USB

A scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer.

1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner first, then to
the computer.

1 - 1

2. The scanner beeps.

only if
power
supply is
included

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

Symbols in the back of this manual.

The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 2-5 for other USB
terminal settings.

For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to “USB
Application Note,” available at www.honeywellaidc.com.

Connecting with Keyboard Wedge

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
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.

The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge inter­face with a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to bar
code data.

1 - 2

Connecting with RS232 Serial Port

only if
power
supply is
included

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.

3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer.
Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.

This interface programs 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

1 - 3

Connecting with RS485

A scanner can be connected for an IBM POS terminal interface.

1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device, then to the com­puter.

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

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

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

For further RS485 settings, refer to RS485, page 2-2.

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

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.

Note: No extra configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.
