Xenon 1900/1902/1910/1912 and Granit 1910i/1911i
The Xenon 1900/1902 scanners have a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view. The Xenon
1910/1912 and Granit 1910i/1911i scanners have an aiming pattern. The aiming
beam or pattern should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in
any direction for a good read.
Granit 1980i/1981i
The Granit 1980i/1981i scanners use a laser aimer (red dot) and a red LED (red
box) to locate bar codes. Use the red LED when scanning at a near distance (less
than 11.8 inches / 30 cm) and center the box over the bar code. The laser aimer
(red dot) appears to the right of the center of the bar code. Use the laser aimer (red
dot) when scanning at a far distance (up to 50 feet / 15.2 meters) and aim at the
Xenon/Granit User Guide 11
center of the bar code. At far distances the red box may not be apparent. For both
Near distance scanning

near distance and far distance, the aimers can be positioned in any direction for a
good read.
The aiming beam or pattern 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, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam or pattern 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. Contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page xvii) 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, beginning on page 341, then a
12 Xenon/Granit User Guide
Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
Activate Custom Defaults
have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the
Save Custom Defaults bar code.
Note: When using a cordless system, the Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups.
Scanning the Save Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or
Access Point to perform a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in
its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes are entered. If using an Access
Point, the linking bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation: Xenon
1902g/1912 and Granit 1911i/1981i beginning on page 41,or Cordless System
Operation: Xenon 1902g-BF beginning on page 79 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.
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.
Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and
the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must
be placed in its base to re-establish the link. If using an Access Point, the linking bar
code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation: Xenon 1902g/1912 and
Granit 1911i/1981i beginning on page 41,or Cordless System Operation: Xenon

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.
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 37) 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. Default = RTS/CTS Off.

ACK/NAK
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, data transmission stops.
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data
transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF
Off.
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. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

CORDLESS SYSTEM OPERATION: XENON 1902G/1912 AND GRANIT 1911I/1981I
Note: This chapter does not apply to corded or Xenon 1902g-BF scanners. See Cordless
System Operation: Xenon 1902g-BF beginning on page 79 for Xenon 1902g-BF
scanning systems.
How the Cordless Charge Base/Access Point Works
A cordless charge base or an Access Point provide the link between the cordless
scanner and the host system. The base/Access Point 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 Charge
Information, page 47, for additional information.
Link the Scanner to a Charge 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 green LED on the base flashes to indicate
the scanner’s battery is charging.
Xenon/Granit User Guide 41
If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feed-

back. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices emit
a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, that one scanner is linked to one
base.
To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the sample 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 using
a Granit scanner, the scanner also vibrates. If you receive an error tone and the red
LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base. Refer to page 325 for troubleshooting information.
Link the Scanner to an Access Point
Turn on the computer (laptop/desktop). Plug the interface
cable into the Access Point first and then into the appropriate port on the computer. The Page button lights up when
the connection to the host is made.
Scan the linking bar code on the top of the Access Point to
establish a connection between the Access Point and the
scanner. The scanner emits a short beep and flashes the
green LED to confirm a connection with the Access Point.
The Access Point’s Page button remains blue.

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base or an Access
Point, scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and
place that scanner in the base, or scan the Access Point linking bar code. The
locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base or
Access Point will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host
The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read”
indication with a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep. If using a Granit
scanner, the scanner also vibrates. This indicates that the bar code has been
scanned correctly and the base or Access Point has acknowledged receiving the
data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication
between the scanner and the base or Access Point.
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base or Access
Point. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgment (ACK) from the base
or Access Point. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to
the base or Access Point, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then
check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.
1. Scanner reads code and gets ACK from base or Access Point
2. Base or Access Point sends data to host
Xenon/Granit User Guide 43
Program the Scanner and Base or Access Point
When using the scanner and charge base or Access Point together as a system,
menu parameters and configuration settings are stored in the charge base or
Access Point. Therefore, when programming any menu configuration settings, the
scanner must be linked to the intended charge base or Access Point.
Note: This only applies when the scanner is linked to a charge base or Access Point. If the
scanner is in a non-base mode, configuration settings are stored in the scanner.
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 or Access Point. Designed for point-to-point
and multi-point-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license
free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a
radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system
highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to
noisy RF environments. The CCB01-010BT (Bluetooth Class 2) provides a communication range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and base or Access Point,
depending on the environment. The CCB02-100BT/CCB05-100BT (Bluetooth
Class 1) provides a communication range of 330 feet (100m) between the scanner
and base or Access Point, depending on the environment. See Flexible Power
Management, page 58, for information about controlling this range.
System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a
scanner to a base or Access Point, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a
scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Link 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.
Refer to Link the Scanner to an Access Point, page 42, for information about linking to an Access Point.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base or Access Point, even when
it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with
the base or Access Point for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of
44 Xenon/Granit User Guide
range and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no communication with the base or Access Point. A cordless charge base can also sound
an alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm,page 56.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base or Access Point have been reset, or
the scanner comes back into range. If the scanner relinks, you will hear a single
chirp when the relinking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete.
Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm on page 56 for further information.
Out of Range and Back into Range 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 or Access
Point when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 59).
You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short
buzz when you pull the trigger 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 or Access Point.
Page Button
When you press the Page button on the base or Access Point, the scanners associated with that base or Access Point will begin beeping (3 short and 1 long beep). If
you pull the trigger on a scanner that is beeping in response, or press the Page button on the base or Access Point a second time, all associated scanners will stop
beeping. See Page on page 51 for further information about Page Button settings.
Note: If you are using a Xenon 1902h model, refer to Quiet Operations - LED and Volume
Settings on page 145 for additional Page Button settings.

Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for example, a USB cable)
and not using an external power supply plugged into the aux port, the current
available for charging is reduced and charge times are increased.
Battery Recommendations
• 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.

the interface cable. However, the scanner battery charges more slowly from a host
interface cable than if auxiliary power were available. Using the following selections, you can specify whether the scanner battery is charged from power supplied
via the host interface cable.
When Base Charge Off is selected, the scanner battery does not charge when the
scanner is in the base cradle.
When External or Interface Cable Power is selected, the scanner battery charges
from the base’s external power supply, if there is one. If there is no external power
supply to the base, the scanner battery charges from the interface cable.
When External Power Only is selected, the scanner battery only charges from the

new link is established when a new scanner is placed in the base, or you scan an
Access Point linking bar code. Each time a scanner is placed into a base or scans
an Access Point linking bar code, the scanner becomes linked to the base or Access
point and the old scanner is unlinked.
Unlink the Scanner
If a base or an Access Point has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be
unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is
unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base or Access Point. To unlink the
scanner from a base or an Access Point, scan the Unlink Scanner bar code below.

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base or an Access
Point, scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and
place that scanner in the base, or scan the Access Point linking bar code. The
locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base or
Access Point will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
Out-of-Range Alarm
If your scanner is out range of the base, an alarm sounds from both your base and
scanner. If your scanner is out range of an Access Point, an alarm sounds from just
the scanner. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer to the base or
Access Point, when the base or Access Point connects to another scanner, or when
the alarm duration expires. To activate the alarm options for the scanner or the
base and to set the alarm duration, scan the appropriate bar code below and then
set the time-out duration (from 0-3000 seconds) by scanning digits on the
Programming Chart, beginning on page 341, then Save. Default = 0 sec (no alarm).
Note: The Access Point does not have a base alarm.
Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error tone even if
you do not have the alarm set. You receive the error tone since the data could not be
communicated to the base or Access Point or the host.
Alarm Sound Type
You may change the alarm type for the scanner or a CCB01-010BT base by scanning the appropriate bar code below and then scanning a digit (0-7) bar code from
the Programming Chart, beginning on page 341, then Save. Default = 0.
The sounds are as follows:

6 single chirps, high pitch
7 2 chirps, then 1 chirp, high pitch
Note: Only the CCB01-010BT base has an alarm.
Scanner Power Time-Out Timer
When there is no activity within a specified time period, the scanner enters low
power mode. Scan the appropriate scanner power time-out bar code to change the
time-out duration (in seconds).
Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.
If there are no trigger pulls during the timer interval, the scanner goes into power
down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the timer is reset. If the scanner is
placed in the charge base cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged,
the scanner will not go into power down mode. Default = 3600 seconds.

Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its
base or Access Point, or when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the
base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range or when the records are
manually transmitted.
Note: Batch Mode is only supported by the Honeywell Charge and Communication Base
(CCB) and Honeywell Access Point (AP). Batch mode has limitations when using
multiple scanners to one base or Access Point. If a cordless system is being used in
“multiple link mode,” where up to 7 scanners are to be connected to one base or
Access Point, some accumulated or batched scans could be lost if scanners are
constantly being moved in and out of range.
Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of
the base or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the base or
Access Point 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 or Access Point so
data can be transmitted.
Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the
base or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the base or Access Point, either
place the scanner in the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 64). When
Xenon/Granit User Guide 59
the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In
* Batch Mode Off
Automatic Batch Mode

* Batch Mode Beep On
order to scan bar codes again, the data must be transmitted to the base or Access
Point. Once the data is transmitted, it is cleared in the scanner.
Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the
data is transmitted to the base or Access Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you
want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear
the scanner’s buffer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 64).
Default = Batch Mode Off.
Batch Mode Beep
When scanning in Inventory Batch Mode (page 60), the scanner beeps every time a
bar code is scanned. If using a Granit scanner, it also vibrates. 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 On.
Batch Mode Storage
When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can select
whether the data is stored in Flash memory or in RAM.
60 Xenon/Granit User Guide
Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to
* Flash Storage

powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches a
power down timeout or if the battery power is very low.
RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has not
been transmitted to the base or Access Point, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if the scanner runs out of battery power, it will power down and the
data will be lost.
Default = Flash Storage.
Batch Mode Quantity
When in Batch Mode, 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 three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the
Quantity Codes (page 63), you could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.
Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the bar code
data and the quantity, refer to Data Format beginning on page 157.
Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.
Enter Quantities
Quantity Codes (page 63) 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.
Xenon/Granit User Guide 61
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.

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.
4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0010.

or take a scanner out of range.
To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you
scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base or Access Point and must
either be placed into the base, or you must scan the Access Point linking bar code
in order to relink.
Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes.
For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for a scanner that is receiving imaging commands sent from the base or Access Point.
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you
have more than one scanner linked to a base, and they all have the same name, the
first scanner linked to the base receives commands. When renaming a series of
scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the base.

Chart, beginning on page 341, then Save. Scan the Reset bar code and wait for the
scanner to relink to the base.
Application Work Groups
Your cordless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one base or Access Point.
You can also have up to 7 work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than 1 work group. If you want
each scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each scanner to its own unique work group and
may program each scanner independently. For example, you might want to have
multiple work groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need to have different data appended to bar codes used in the warehouse area versus the retail
area. You could assign all the scanners in the retail area to one work group and
those in the warehouse to another. Consequently, any desired changes to either the
retail or warehouse area would apply to all scanners in that particular work group.
Honeywell’s online configuration tool, EZConfig-Scanning (page 254), makes it
easy for you to program your system for use with multiple scanners and multiple
work groups.
The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner is
connected or reconnected to a base or an Access Point, the scanner is updated
with the latest settings from the base or Access Point for its work group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base or Access Point. If a
scanner is removed from a base or an Access Point and placed into another base or
linked to another Access Point, it will be updated with the new base/Access Point
settings for whatever work group to which that the scanner was previously
assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work group 1 linked to the first base, it
will be placed in work group 1 in the second base with the associated settings.
Application Work Group Selection
This programming selection allows you to assign a scanner to a work group by
scanning the bar code below. You may then program the settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires. Default = Group 0.

fere 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 or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or placing the scanner in the cradle 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 0-100) from theProgramming Chart, beginning on page 341,

scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link
a scanner to a base or an Access Point 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.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to
a base unit or Access Point. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is
successful.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect
to the base unit or Access Point. 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.
Example: Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting
When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit
or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time
followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes,
the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar
codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers
off and batch mode data is lost.
Example: Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15

The scanner attempts to connect to the base or Access Point every 15 seconds,
measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the
scanner powers off.
Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar
code data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner
whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable
Xenon/Granit User Guide 75
feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it
behave in different ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
• The co rdles s syst em must be conf igured for Hos t Port R S2 32 (te rminal ID = 000 )
or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
• Host ACK must be set to On (page 77).
• A comma must be used as a terminator.
• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data,
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape
commands to the scanner.
Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via “Application Work Groups.”
Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command.
Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own
group in Host ACK mode.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 77. The [ESC] is a
1B in hex. A typical command string is y [ESC] x, where “y” is the application work
group number, “[ESC] x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator,
which is required. (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default
Application Work Group 0.)
Example: Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An
example of a command string is listed below.
[ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,
The above example will make a scanner that is in application work group zero beep
low, then medium, then high.
Example: A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required
if the item is not on file. In this case,
[ESC]7, is sent from the host to the scanner for an on-file product
[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent from the host to the scanner for a not-on-file product
When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the
host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a bar code is
scanned:
• The scanner reads the code and sends data to the base or Access Point to
transmit to the host system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until the
scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out
when there’s a successful read.

the host system or 2) the scanner times out.
• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again,
and the process repeats.
A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within
10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an error tone. If a time-out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner
was not received.

CORDLESS SYSTEM OPERATION: XENON 1902G-BF
Note: This chapter applies only to Xenon 1902g-BF cordless scanning systems. It does not
apply to corded scanners, Xenon 1902g/1912, or Granit 1911i/1981i scanners. See
Cordless System Operation: Xenon 1902g/1912 and Granit 1911i/1981i beginning
on page 41 for other Xenon and Granit cordless scanning systems.
How the CCB01-010BT-BF Cordless Charge Base Works
A cordless charge 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 instant charge pack charger. Refer to
Charge Information, page 83, for additional information.

When the base is connected and powered up, put the scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base flashes to indicate the scanner’s instant
charge pack is charging.
Note: The scanner’s instant charge pack must be charged to establish a link with the base.
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. At this point, that one scanner is linked to one
base.
The linking sound can be turned on or off. See Linking Sound on page 91.
To determine if your scanner has linked to the base correctly, scan one of the sample bar codes beginning on page 339. 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 325 for troubleshooting information.
Replace a Linked Scanner
If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base, scan the
Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden, the broken or lost scanner’s link
with the base will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
