Getting Started
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Honeywell HF500 corded area-imaging 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.
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 device first, then to the computer.
Note: The power supply must be ordered separately, if needed.
2. The scanner beeps.
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 2-2 for other USB terminal settings.
1 - 1
Connecting with RS232 Serial Port
YJ-HF500
RS232 Serial Port Connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device.
Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer.
Note: The power supply must be ordered separately, if needed.
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 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

Reading Techniques
Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
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 over the bar code, but it 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 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. Please contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page -vii) 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 scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric
codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be 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.
1 - 3
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
Activate Custom Defaults
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 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.

Programming the Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.
Programming 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.
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.
Option Setting
Baud Rate 115,200 bps
Data Format 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit
USB IBM SurePos
Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the scanner for an IBM SurePos (USB handheld scanner) or IBM
SurePos (USB tabletop scanner) interface.
Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register.
Each bar code above also programs the following suffixes for each symbology:

Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will
override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps
Lock on or off . This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be
used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve
the current state of the Caps Lock.
2 - 13
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).
Emulate External Keyboard
* Keyboard Conversion Off
Convert All Characters

Convert All Characters

Control Character Output On
* Control Character Output Off
Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer.
Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code:
“abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by
scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.
Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is
expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-3. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of the chart). Default = Off.
Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.
Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.
