Unpacking the Imager

When you remove the imager from its box, save the box and
shipping material in case you need to ship or store the imager.

The imager shipping box contains:

• 1470B Imager (standard or high density)

• CD with Visual Menu and QuickView

• 1470B Imager Quick Start Guide (P/N 067055)

You can also order these optional accessories:

• Power supply and power cords

• Battery pack

• Communication cables for a keyboard wedge interface,
RS-232 interface, 241X terminal, or 700 Series computer

• Holder or scanner stand

Configuring the Imager

You need to program the imager for your interface before you
can transmit bar code data to your computer. You can configure
the imager for:

• a keyboard wedge interface. See the next section, “Keyboard
Wedge Interface.”

• a serial port (RS-232) interface. RS-232 is the default
configuration; however, you still need to program the imager
for the RS-232 interface. See “Serial/RS-232 Interface” on
page 8.

Note: The RS-232 interface is only compatible
with applications that can retrieve data from the
computer’s COM port.

Keyboard Wedge Interface

1 Connect the power supply (4 to 9V) to the keyboard wedge

interface cable and plug in the power supply.

Or, charge and install the battery pack in the imager.

The imager beeps twice.

The imager should beep once, and “BC321” should appear in
the keyboard application.

The imager is now connected and ready to communicate with
your computer. To program the 1470 for other keyboard wedge
interfaces, see “Terminal Interface” in Chapter 3 of the
1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual.

Serial/RS-232 Interface

1 Connect the power supply (4 to 9V) to the serial interface

cable and plug in the power supply.

your computer. To program the communication parameters for
a serial interface, see “Communication Settings” in Chapter 3 of
the 1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual.

Scanning a Label

The imager’s view finder projects a bright red aiming beam that
corresponds to the imager’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.

Where to Go From Here

Now that your imager is working, you may need additional
information:

• The 1470/1471 Imager User’s Manual (P/N 067054) contains
information you may need to configure, operate, and
troubleshoot the 1470B imager.

• The CD that ships with the imager contains the Visual Menu
and QuickView utilities that allow you to set advanced
configuration parameters.

The user’s manual is available as a .pdf file on the CD that
shipped with the imager or on the Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com. To order a printed user’s manual, contact
your local Intermec representative.

Useful Bar Codes

For more information on these bar codes, see the 1470/1471
Imager User’s Manual.

Note: Scanning the Factory Default Settings bar
code will clear all existing settings and restore the
imager to its factory default state. You will need to
reconfigure the imager for a keyboard wedge or
serial/RS-232 interface.
