•In RS-232 Batch Cable - Detect mode, the HE45T will detect if it is
connected to a powered serial cable, and will send the data. If a powered
serial cable is not connected or if the power adapter is not connected to the
serial cable, the HE45T will buffer the data. When the HE45T is then
connected to a powered serial cable, the data will automatically upload.
•In RS-232 Cabled - No Power mode, the HE45T will behave as if it is
always connected even though the serial cable is disconnected or the power
adapter is unplugged. Scanned data will be sent, regardless of connection
status. Data scanned in Cabled mode will be lost if the HE45T is not
connected to the serial cable. It will not buffer the data, unless Send & Store
mode has been enabled.
Note: If you are in RS232 Cabled-No Power mode, when you place a reader in a
charger, the reader will behave as if it is being cabled, and download the data.
THE DATA WILL BE ERASED FROM MEMORY. To disable this feature, scan
the RS232 Cable - Detect code.

Bluetooth Radio Operation
Wireless HE45T readers feature a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows
for point to point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that
support serial port protocol (SPP). The following information will give you
general instructions on connecting your HE45T to a desktop or laptop computer
with a Bluetooth radio.
Connecting With A QuickConnect Code
If you purchased a CodeXML Bluetooth Modem or a Belkin® Bluetooth adapter
from Microscan or from an authorized distributor, a QuickConnect code was
included (Figure 1–27).
FIGURE 1–27. QuickConnect Code
The QuickConnect code has the information of the Bluetooth address (often a
reference to go to the BD_ADDR) of that device. You can usually find the
12-character Bluetooth address somewhere on the device near the device’s serial
number (Figure 1–27). This code will link your HE45T directly to the desired
Bluetooth device.

To connect your reader, scan the Reset to Factory Defaults in Figure 1–28. Then,
the QuickConnect Code and your HE45T will automatically connect. You should
also scan the Save Settings code if you want to save these settings.
Note: If the HE45T powers off without scanning the Save Settings code, you will
lose your settings.
FIGURE 1–28. Reset to RF Factory Defaults Code
Radio Range and Transferring Data
The HE45T radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class 1 device, the
reader has roughly a 300 foot line of sight operating range. If connecting to a
Class 2 or Class 3 device, the operating range may drop to match the lower range.
Once a reader is connected, the application software on the host must be open to
receive data.
Getting Started
When the HE45T detects the radio is out of range, the HE45T will store data on
the reader’s non-volatile memory. The reader will continue to try and send data
until radio is back in range. Once the data is sent, the data will be erased from the
reader’s memory. If the radio cannot connect in 90 seconds, it will give an error
beep. The reader will continue to try and connect until it has reached the
programmable radio timeout setting.

RF Two Way Mode
The HE45T Bluetooth protocol allows for two forms of communication:
•One Way Mode — Defined as one way communication between the reader
and host. One Way mode is only recommended when connecting to a device
well within its specified range, or if connected to a device without an
operating system (i.e., printer). There are two settings in this mode:
–Max Range (Default) — Greater range but data reliability is lower
–Max Reliability — Limits range but reliability is improved
FIGURE 1–29. RF One Way Mode Range & Reliability Codes
Note: While robust, One Way Mode doesn’t guarantee data integrity and you
may have data loss when operating in the fringes of radio range or in the presence
of radio interference.
•RF Two Way Mode — This is two way communication between the host
and reader. This requires the implementation of software at the application
level. The reader receives confirmation via packet protocol verification and
is 100% reliable. Data will be retransmitted automatically if necessary.
FIGURE 1–30. RF Two Way Mode Codes
Note: You will need to install application software that supports packet
communication to operate in RF Two Way Mode. Microscan offers the
CodeXML Bluetooth Modem and a Windows or Pocket PC version of software
called CodeXML Router - Bluetooth Edition (BE) that provides for end-to-end

Bluetooth Radio — Auto Connect & Auto Disconnect
After coming out of sleep mode or after powering up (you need to save the
connection), the HE45T tries to auto connect with the last Bluetooth radio it was
connected with. You may always connect by scanning a QuickConnect code.
Scan the codes in Figure 1–33 to enable/disable the Auto Connect feature for the
Bluetooth radio:
FIGURE 1–33. Bluetooth Radio Auto Connect & Disconnect Codes
The Auto Disconnect feature is used when multiple HE45T readers are
connecting to the same Bluetooth Radio. By enabling Auto Disconnect, the
HE45T radio disconnects after each data transmission, allowing other radios to
connect.
Scan the codes in Figure 1–34 to enable/disable the Auto Disconnect feature for
the Bluetooth radio:

Targeting and Reading Techniques
The HE45T utilizes digital camera technology to take a picture of a symbol.
Once an image is captured, the HE45T utilizes advanced decoding algorithms to
extract data from the captured image.
The reader features left and right triggers. These triggers may be programmed to
perform various features. The reader is shipped with the left trigger and right
trigger functioning as a decode symbol command.
The H2 Cabled Handle and BH1/BH2 Battery Handle each feature a trigger on
the handle. The two triggers on the top of the reader also work when the handle is
attached.

Targeting and Reading Techniques
To read a symbol with the HE45T:
1.The HE45T features omnidirectional decoding. Center the symbol in any
orientation within the laser dot aiming pattern (Figure 1–38).
FIGURE 1–38. Centering the Symbol Within the Laser Dot
Note: The HE45T can read a symbol that is not centered; however, the
HE45T performs best when a code is centered.
The HE45T features omnidirectional decoding. Aiming the targeting laser at
the center of the symbol ensures the best performance for decoding. The
HE45T can read a symbol that is not centered and, under certain
circumstances if multiple symbols are within the field of view, the user must
take care of which symbol is read. The decoder will start from the center, but
if the center symbol is not decodable, it may decode another symbol, if
multiple symbols are present within the field of view.
1
Getting Started
2.The HE45T was developed to decode both very small 2-D symbols and
larger 1-D symbols. The reader has an innovative dual field decode zone.
The HE45T DECODES BOTH ZONES SIMULTANEOUSLY. The reader
has a lens focused on a near-field for smaller codes (optimal focal point is 4
inches) and one lens focused on a far-field for larger codes (optimal focal
point 9 inches). To read smaller symbols move the HE45T closer to the
symbol. To read larger symbols move the reader farther away from the
symbol. The entire HE45T decode zone varies between two (2”) and twenty
(20+”) or more inches.
3.Hold the HE45T still - DO NOT SWIPE OR MOVE THE READER. Press
the trigger until the HE45T beeps, indicating the code has been successfully
decoded.
4.To read a symbol with a shiny background, hold the HE45T slightly tilted to
avoid the reflected light from the LEDs.

Imager Field of View and Resolution
The HE45T’s megapixel imager, with a dual field optical system, can provide
you the best image for 1-D and 2-D applications.
The 1.3 Million Pixel imager is divided into near field and far field decode zones.
In each zone, the resolution is 1024 x 640 pixels (see Figure 1.25). In this mode
of operation the reader utilizes the highest resolution creating the widest working
range on bar code and 2-dimensional symbols of all densities. The trade-off is the
amount of time the reader spends processing the image. This time can be reduced
by optimization functions:
•If only the near field is used (small, high density symbols), the far field
image can be ignored.
•If only the far field is used (large, lower density symbols), the near field can
be ignored.
Further optimization may be obtained by “windowing” the field to a smaller area.

Introduction
The HE45T comes with SXGA mode and its dual field optical system activated
for all the triggers. From the moment you turn on your HE45T, you are taking full
advantage of the dual path 1.3 megapixel imager and the
400 MHz processor with Microscan’ industry leading DPM technology.

Optimization and
Trigger Programming
The HE45T is easily customizable; each trigger can be independently
programmed for different behavior.
•Near Field (NF) — The nearest field of the HE45T’s two image fields. It has
an optimal focal point of 4” (101.6 mm) away from the lens of the reader.
The width of the Field of View is 1.5” (38.1 mm) at the optimal focus point.
•Far Field (FF) — The farthest field of the HE45T’s two image fields. It has
an optimal focal point of 9” (228.6 mm) away from the lens of the reader.
The width of the Field of View is 4” (101.6 mm) at the optimal focus point.
The following sections provide you with the ability to program individual
triggers, or all triggers, to perform with different parameters.

CHAPTER 4Department of Defense
Unique Identification (UID)
UID is a mandatory Department of Defense requirement on all solicitations
issued January 1, 2004. This policy mandates the use of Data Matrix symbology
on a large class of equipment and parts procured by DoD. The HE45T reader
complies with Department of Defense Standard Practice Identification
(MIL-STD-130).
4
Once the HE45T decodes the Data Matrix symbol, and, if the Unique Item
Identifier (UII), Current Part Number (CPN), and Lot/Batch Number (LBN) are
turned on, it checks the ISO 15434 syntax with ISO 15418 (ANSI MH10.8.2 - AI
& DI) and ISO 21849 (ATA - TEI) semantics to construct UII, CPN, and LBN.
DoD UID Settings
The following UID data output options are applicable to Data Matrix only and
have no effect on other symbologies:
•UII/CPN DM On — The HE45T is configured to construct Unique Item
Identifier (UII), Current Part Number (CPN), and Lot/Batch Number (LBN).
If there is a valid UII/CPN/LBN, a UII/CPN/LBN string is outputted. For
decoded Data Matrix with invalid UII/CPN/LBN, HE45T stops image
acquisition without an output string. The UII/CPN DM On option will have
the following output format:

Performance
Turbo Dot Peen Mode Settings
The HE45T with the default settings offers the best overall performance for Data
Matrix DPM reading. For reading dot peen marks with cell size larger than 15
mils or 0.015 inches, it is often possible to improve the reading performance by
enabling the Turbo Dot Peen mode. It is also recommended that you use Read
With Near Field Only mode in conjunction with the Turbo Dot Peen On mode to
achieve the best reading response.
Note: Turbo Dot Peen mode should not be used for reading small marks (dot
peen or others) as it may increase the processing time and reduce the robustness
of reading small marks.

Please call your Microscan representative for more information on accessories.
HE45T Maintenance
The HE45T operates efficiently and reliably and needs only a minimum of
maintenance to operate. A few tips are given below for maintenance suggestions.
Cleaning the HE45T’s Window
The HE45T’s window should be clean to allow the best performance. The
window is the clear plastic piece inside the head of the Reader. Do not touch the
window. Your HE45T uses CMOS technology that is much like a digital camera.
A dirty window may stop the HE45T from reading codes.
If the window becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth or a facial
tissue (no lotions or additives) that has been moistened with water. You may use a
mild detergent to clean the window, but the window should be wiped with a
water moistened cloth or tissue after using the detergent.
