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.

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.

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.

Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
* Regular
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
Caps Lock
Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on. (Not
common to U.S. keyboards.)
Shift Lock
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 (AT and PS/2
only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED which
notes the Caps Lock status.
Automatic Caps Lock
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external
keyboard (IBM A T or equivalent). To connect the scanner to a laptop, it may be
necessary to use the Automatic Direct Connect selection on page 2–7 in
conjunction with the bar code below.

Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and
Turbo Mode.
Control + ASCII Mode On – The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII
control characters for values 00–1F. Refer to page 10–1 for CTRL+ ASCII
Values. Default = Off
Control + ASCII Mode On
* Control + ASCII Mode Off
Turbo Mode – The scanner sends characters to an IBM AT terminal faster.
(For use with IBM A T only.) If the terminal drops characters, do not use Turbo
Mode. Default = Off
Turbo Mode On
* Turbo Mode Off
Numeric Keypad Mode – Sends numeric characters as if entered from a
numeric keypad. Default = Off

Serial Port Connection
All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match
for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan
the RS-232 Interface bar code to program the scanner for an RS-232
installation.
RS-232 Interface
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner, as shown below.
Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct
cable for your type of terminal/computer.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on the back of your
computer/terminal, as shown below. Tighten the two screws to secure
the connector to the port.
4. Plug the power pack into a power source.
5. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the
terminal/computer.

RSĆ232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity
Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an
application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text,
digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use
of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 7.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.
Default = Even.

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.
* Code 39 Format
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.
