Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge)

A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer,

as shown below.

Disconnect

3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner and to the terminal/computer.

3

4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The scanner will beep

twice.

5. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the back cover of this manual. The scanner will beep once.

The scanner is now connected and ready to communicate with your terminal/PC. You must program the scanner for your interface before bar code data can be transmitted to your terminal/PC. If you are using the scanner as a keyboard wedge, turn to page 2–1. If the scanner is connected via a serial port, turn to page 2–8. If this is a wand emulation application, turn to page 2–13, and for a non decoded output connection, turn to page 6–2.

The RS-232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a PC or terminal. The following RS-232 Interface bar code also programs the parameters:

Option

Baud Rate 9600 bps Parity Even Data Format 7 data bits, parity bit, 1 stop bit (8 bit data)

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Same Code format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39.

Wand Emulation Same Code

The following Wand Emulation bar code sets the interface to W and Emulation mode and translates bar code data as Code 39 symbology . It also programs the Transmission Rate to 25 inches per second, and Output Polarity to black high.

USB

The IT3800 uses a USB converter to simulate a USB keyboard. Data flows into applications as if entered from the keyboard. The USB converter is compatible with Apple I–MAC Series and WindowsR 98 and later PCs. Use cable set 42206062–01 to make the USB port connection.

To set up the USB communications, find the terminal ID in the Supported Terminal Chart and follow the instructions on page 2–2. The PC and scanner automatically connect. Communications start immediately .

Serial Wedge

The IT3800 uses TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial network. Use IT3800 serial wedge cables only to prevent damage to the scanner. Refer to the serial interface programming (pages 2–9 to 2–12) to set the baud rate and communications protocol.

To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, find the terminal ID in the Supported Terminal Chart and follow the instructions on page 2–2. Set the port to which you want the scanned data to transmit. Port 1 corresponds to P1 on the output cable and Port 2 corresponds to P2 on the output cable. Choosing Both sends scanned data to P1 and P2. Default = P1.

Wand Emulation Connection

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.

Section 4 Data Editing

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly . Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, which increases data integrity .

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each).

Section 5 Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned.

It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default settings. Default Data

Format setting = none.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code.

To Add a Data Format

STEP 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (pg. 5–4). STEP 2. Primary/Alternate Format

STEP 3. Terminal Type

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5–6.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.

Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2–3) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an A T wedge.

STEP 4. Code I.D.

On pg. 4–5, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart.

STEP 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology . Scan the four digit data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)

STEP 6. Editor Commands

Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5–2). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

STEP 7. Scan Save to save your entries.

IMAGETEAM 3800 User’s Guide

Other Programming Selections

D Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology . If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the Supported Terminals Chart on page 2–3), Code I.D. and the length of the format you want to delete. That length data format for that symbology is deleted and all other formats are unaffected.

D Save

This exits, saving any Data Format changes.

D Discard

This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are programmed (see page 5–1), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar codes below. The scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Section 6 Secondary Interface

Secondary Interface

By switching interface cables, the IT3800 scanner can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface), in addition to the host terminal (primary interface).

The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.

Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.

* Wand Emulation

Code 39 Format

Wand Emulation

Same Code Format

Note for the 3800PDF model: When the 3800PDF interface is set to wand emulation, all PDF417 bar code data is transmitted as Code 128. Data from other symbologies follow the rules described above.

Secondary RSĆ232 Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.

RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

Check Character

Different types of check characters are used with MSI bar codes. You can program the scanner to read only MSI bar codes with Type 10 or Type 11 check characters. Default = Validate Type 10, but Don’t Transmit.

When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only read MSI bar codes printed with the specified type check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.

When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only read MSI bar codes printed with the specified type check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.

Message Length

The message length selection is used to set the valid reading length of the bar code. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9–20 characters.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes below and then scan the 2–digit value and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart inside back cover. Minimum and Maximum Lengths = 4–48.

Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20

Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15

Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save),

scan Discard on the back cover, scan the Minimum or Maximum bar code, scan the correct digits, and Save again.

Section 8 Cloning

The cloning procedure reprograms the software in the “destination” scanner’s memory with software from the “source” scanner. Before using this procedure, determine which scanner will be the source (the scanner containing the desired software). The IMAGETEAM 3800 supports cloning and can act as the source device. The software in the destination scanner will be updated from the source scanner. The destination scanner device must be the same model as the source.

Procedure:

1. Use the cloning cable (42204559–01) to connect the two scanners for cloning.

2. Connect the destination scanner to one of the 10 pin modular connectors on the cloning cable.

3. Connect the source scanner (containing the new or updated software) to the remaining 10 pin modular connector on the cloning cable.

4. Connect the power supply to the 4 pin mini–DIN connector located on the cloning cable or the scanner cable.

5. Make sure both units are on, and then scan the “Clone Destination” bar code with the destination scanner.

Clone Destination Bar Code

6. Scan the Clone Source bar code below with the source scanner. The scanner’s “Good Read” LED begins blinking periodically indicating cloning is in process.

Clone Source Bar Code

7. When cloning is complete, the destination scanner will double beep. This procedure takes approximately two minutes.

8. Disconnect the destination scanner from the cloning cable.

9. To clone another scanner, repeat steps 1 through 8.

Caution: DO NOT scan the “source” bar code unless you are

going to clone a scanner. If you mistakenly scan this bar code, reset the scanner by turning the power off and back on to regain normal operation.

Section 9 Visual Menu

Visual Menu Introduction

Visual Menu provides the ability to configure a scanning device by connecting the scanner to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu allows you to download upgrades to a scanner’s firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Menu, you can even set up the configuration for a scanner which is not attached to your PC. This enables one expert user to establish the configuration settings for all the devices your company uses, then save these configuration files for others. A configuration file can be e-mailed or, if you prefer, an expert user can create a bar code (or series of bar codes) which contains all the customized programming parameters, and mail or fax the bar code(s) to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar code(s) to load in the customized parameters.

To communicate with a scanner, Visual Menu requires that the PC have at least one available serial communication port and an RS-232 cable to connect the port to the device. A power supply , which plugs into the cable, is also required.

Visual Menu Operations

The Visual Menu program performs the following operations:

D Displays all configuration data, and saves the information to a file on

your PC.

D Configures the device to meet your specific requirements. Visual

Menu has all the programming parameters which are available via programming bar codes in this User’s Guide.

D Creates and prints a clone bar code which contains the program and

configuration data from one device. This bar code can then be used to program additional devices with the same parameters.

D Selects a device from a list, then performs offline or online file

configuration for that device.

Temporary Visual Menu Configuration

For quick download communication configuration, scan the Visual Menu bar code to temporarily configure the scanner for Visual Menu settings.
