CHAPTER 1 Getting Started

The HE45T establishes a new benchmark for Portable Data
Terminals and Hand Held computers by combining the industry’s
best imaging technology with a graphic display and rugged
keyboard to create the smallest and lightest full-featured bar code
reading terminal on the market.

Using the same ergonomic platform as the highly successful
HE40T, which employs Microscan’s industry leading Direct Part
Mark (DPM) technology, the HE45T extends mobile all-symbology
bar code reading to include information display and keyboard entry .
This combination has created a reading system that supports:

• DPM applications

• Department of Defense Unique Iden tification (DoD UID)

• High density matrix codes and larger low density linear
barcodes

• Superior working range• High-speed omn i-direction al
decoding

• Cordless and cabled interfaces

• Portable data terminal

• Unsurpassed data rat es

This HE45T features 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 guide
will give you general instructions on connecting your HE45T to a
desktop or laptop computer with a Bluetooth radio.

Rev 2.0.0, Jan 2009 HE45T Quickstart Guide 5

Connecting With A QuickConnect Code

Sample 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, as shown in
Figure 1–9.

FIGURE 1–9. Sample 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 Bluet oot h address
somewhere on the device near the device’s serial number
(Figure 1–10). This code will link your HE45T directly to the
desired Bluetooth device.

FIGURE 1–10. Locating the Bluetooth Address

HE45T Wireless Setup

Note: While installing the Bluetooth Configuration Manager
software that was included with your Bluetooth adapter, make sure
to note the Virtual COM Port number the software assigned for the
adapter (e.g. COM 10). This is the COM Port your HE45T will
connect through.

To connect your reader:

1. Scan the Reset to RF Factory Defaults code shown in

Figure 1–11.

6 HE45T Quickstart Guide Rev 2.0.0, Jan 2009

FIGURE 1–11. Reset to RF Factory Defaults Code

address of your device

Save Settings

2. Scan the QuickConnect code you received.

3. The HE45T will automatically connect. By default, the HE45T

will beep once after it connects and beep three times in a row if
it did not connect.

4. Scan the Save Settings code (Figure 1–12) to the right if you

want to save the wireless connection settings to the HE45T so
that the HE45T will automatically try to connect wirelessly the
next time it is powered on.

FIGURE 1–12. Save Settings

Radio Range and Transferring Data

The HE45T radio is a Class 1 device. If connected to another Class
1 device, the unit 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 unit is connected,
the application software on the host must be open to receive data.

When the HE45T detects the radio is out of range, the HE45T will
store data on the reader’s non-volatile memory.

For more information about setting up and using the HE45T with a
wireless Bluetooth configuration, consult the HE45T User Manual.

EN 60825-1:2003

The HE45T utilizes digital camera technology to take a picture of a
symbol. Once an image is captured, the HE45T utilizes
Microscan’s industry leading decoder to extract data from the
captured image.

The H2 Cabled Handle and BH1/BH2 Battery Handle each feature
a trigger on the handle. The two triggers on the top of the unit also
work when the handle is attached.

FIGURE 1–34. The HE45T with Handle

Reading Symbols with the HE45T

1. The HE45T features omnidirectional decoding. Center the

symbol in any orientation within the laser dot aiming pattern.

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

18 HE45T Quickstart Guide Rev 2.0.0, Jan 2009

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 symbol s are present within the
field of view.

FIGURE 1–35. Centering the Symbol Within the Laser Dot

2. The HE45T was developed to decode both very small 2-D

symbols and larger 1-D symbols. The unit features two imagers
to create an innovative dual decode zone. The HE45T features
a high speed processor and decodes both zones simultaneously
by default. The unit has one imager focused on a near-field for
smaller codes (optimal focal point is 4 inches) and one imager
focused on a far-field for larger codes (optimal focal point 9
inches). To read smaller symbols, move the HE45T closer to
the symbol. T o read lar ger symbols, move the unit farther away
from the symbol. The entire HE45T decode zone varies
between two (2”) and twenty (20+”) or more inches.

3. Hold the HE45T Reader still - DO NOT SWIPE OR MOVE

THE READER. Press the trigger until the HE45T beeps,
indicating the bar code has been successfully decoded.

DoD UID Settings

The HE45T unit complies with MIL-STD-130, ISO 15434, and
ISO 15418 to construct a Unique Items Identifier (UII), Current
Port Number (CPN), and Lot/Batch Number (LBN).

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.

• UII/CPN DM with Data Fields — The HE45T is configured to
construct UII/CPN/LBN with all the data fields.

• UII DM wit h Data Fi eld — The HE45T is configured to
construct UII and output additional data fields.

Rev 2.0.0, Jan 2009 HE45T Quickstart Guide 21

The following options apply to all symbologies:

UII/CPN DM On

• UII/CPN On for All Symbologies — The HE45T is configured
to construct UII/CPN/LBN for all symbologies. For decoded
symbologies without valid UII/CPN/LBN, the HE45T stops
image acquisition without an output string.

• UII/CPN Off — The HE45T is back to normal decoder
behavior without constructing UII/CPN/LBN.

FIGURE 1–38. UII Codes For All Symbologies

Batch Mode

The HE45T unit features a batch mode for applications requiring a
portable reader. Batch mode allows a user to store scanned data to
the reader’s non-volatile memory. You may transfer the data to a
host computer when needed. T o utilize batch functionality, you will
need to use the BH1/BH2 battery handle.

The HE45T dedicated batch memory is a minimum of 1MB. To
determine the number of reads that may be stored, divide the
average bytes of a scan into the total minimum memory.

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 T urbo
Dot Peen mode. It is also recommended that you use Read With
Near Field Only mode 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.
