In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in  
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo-  
gies to Code 39.  
The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and Inter-  
leaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code  
39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128.

Reading Techniques  
The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green 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.  
Linear bar code  
2D Matrix symbol  
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger  
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil  
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele-  
ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple  
symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance  
from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If  
the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be neces-  
sary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Terminal Interfaces  
Terminal ID  
If your interface is not covered by a Plug and Play bar code from Chapter 1,  
then refer to Supported Terminals on page 2-2 through page 2-3, and locate the  
Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the Terminal ID bar code below, then  
scan the numeric bar code(s) from the Programming Chart inside the back  
cover of this manual to program the imager for your terminal ID. Scan Save to  
save your selection.  
For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003. You would scan the  
Terminal ID bar code, then 0, 0, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back  
cover of this manual, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits  
(before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the Programming Chart,  
scan the Terminal ID bar code, scan the digits, and the Save code again.

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  
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-  
many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.  
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the Num-  
Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

tion 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 = 8.  
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.

RS-232 Receiver Time-Out  
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time-Out  
expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS-232  
receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset  
the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The  
receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS-232

RS-232 Receiver Time-Out  
RS-232 Handshaking  
RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the imager using  
software commands from the host device. When this feature is turned Off, no  
data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host  
device suspends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to  
the imager. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1,  
hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.  
Default = RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF and ACK/NAK Off.  
RTS/CTS On

Wand Emulation Connection  
The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to  
change the terminal ID only, without changing any other imager settings. We  
recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your  
imager to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes  
change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID.  
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in  
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbol-  
ogies to Code 39.  
2 - 12

The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and Inter-  
leaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code  
39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128.  
The Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same

Trigger Modes  
Manual/Serial Trigger  
You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-  
mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.  
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until  
the deactivate command is sent. The imager can also be set to turn itself off  
after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).  
* Manual/Serial Trigger  
Read Time-Out  
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when  
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger  
mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by  
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read  
Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by  
scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default =  
30,000.  
Read Time-Out  
Manual Trigger, Low Power  
Note: Does not apply to the 4600r.  
The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled,  
the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set  
with the Low Power Time-Out bar code below. There is a delay of up to one  
second in operation when the imager is first triggered, but there is no delay  
when operating in low power time-out mode.

Low Power Time-Out Timer  
Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in  
seconds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the  
inside back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.  
If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into  
low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer  
is reset.  
Low Power Time-Out  
Note: This time-out does not begin until the imager time-out setting has expired.  
In-Stand Sensor Mode (4600r only)  
Note: This feature is only applicable to the flex stand with sensor  
(HFSTAND5RSE) used with a 4600r, software revision 31205480-118 or  
higher. To determine whether you have the correct hardware and  
software, scan the Sensor On bar code. If it triple beeps, your device  
does not have this capability.  
This feature tells a 4600r to sense when the scanner is removed from the stand  
and to begin manual triggering. When you scan Sensor On, the imager goes  
into manual trigger mode when it is removed from the stand. For example, if  
the 4600r is programmed for Presentation Mode (page 3-7), it would be in pre-  
sentation mode whenever it is in the stand, and in manual trigger mode when-  
ever it is removed from the stand. Default = Sensor Off.

Scan Stand Mode  
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan  
Stand symbol (see below). When a different code is presented, the imager is  
triggered to read the new code.  
Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light  
level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol. When  
a symbol is presented, the imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting  
of ambient light to operate correctly.  
Scan Stand Mode  
Scan Stand Symbol  
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol  
on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand  
symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level  
(default setting is high) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of  
view.  
Scan Stand Symbol

Presentation Mode  
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either  
off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to  
the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presenta-  
tion Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the  
room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.  
Presentation Mode  
Note: The operation of advanced illumination units and non-advanced  
illumination units differs slightly. When an advanced illumination unit is in  
Presentation Mode and idle, the illumination LEDs go dim, but never go  
out. When a non-advanced illumination unit is in Presentation Mode and  
idle, the illumination LEDs go out completely.

imager's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the  
Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the  
inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least  
sensitive. Default = 1.

Hands Free Time-Out  
The Scan Stand, and Presentation, and Streaming Presentation Modes are  
referred to as “hands free” modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a  
hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the  
time the imager should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands  
Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no fur-  
ther trigger pulls) the imager reverts to the original hands free mode.  
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration  
(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default =  
5,000 ms.

Reread Delay  
This sets the time period before the imager can read the same bar code a sec-  
ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the  
same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads.  
Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is  
required. Default = Medium.

Centering  
Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager  
reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes  
are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are  
read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, page 3-12, for  
the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced  
closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the imager can  
emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code imagers.)  
In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white  
area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will  
be.  
Bar Code 1  
Bar Code 2

Decode Search Mode  
There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes:  
Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center  
of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all symbolo-  
gies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional search is  
very thorough which may slow performance time.  
Note: This search mode is the default setting.  
Full Omnidirectional  
Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for bar code features  
around the center region of an image. This mode quickly reads all symbologies  
in any orientation. The Quick Omnidirectional mode may miss some off-center  
symbols, as well as larger Data Matrix and QR Code symbols.  
Quick Omnidirectional  
Advanced Linear Decoding - Performs quick horizontal linear scans in a cen-  
ter band of the image. This mode is not omnidirectional, but does quickly read  
linear and stacked bar codes. Advanced Linear Decoding cannot read 2D,  
OCR, or Postal symbols.  
Advanced Linear Decoding  
Preferred Symbology  
Note: This selection does not apply to OCR.  
The imager can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority  
over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear  
on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.  
For example, you may be using the imager in a retail setting to read UPC sym-  
bols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some  
licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use  
Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the  
Code 39.

symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.  
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the  
imager will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is  
no bar code in the imager’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data

Output Sequence Overview  
Require Output Sequence  
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the imager  
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited  
sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device.  
enabled.  
Output Sequence Editor  
This programming selection allows you to program the imager to output data  
(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application  
requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading  
the Default Sequence symbol programs the imager to the Universal values,  
shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all  
formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.  
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code  
I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use  
the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.  
You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in the sequence.  
To Add an Output Sequence  
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-  
2. Code I.D.  
On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want

to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-  
ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back  
cover).  
3. Length  
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output 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 num-  
ber, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any  
programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length  
(unless using 9999).  
4. Character Match Sequences  
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Program-  
ming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII  
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example  
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes,  
but you want the imager to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93  
3rd, as shown below.  
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.  
A - Code 39  
B - Code 128  
C - Code 93  
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

Default Sequence  
Require Output Sequence  
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an  
edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host  
device. When it’s On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get the output  
data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the imager transmits all  
output data to the host device as is.  
When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the  
imager decodes it. Default = Off.

Multiple Symbols  
Note: This feature does not work when the imager is in Low Power mode.  
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple  
symbols with a single pull of the imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trig-  
ger, aiming the imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once,  
beeping (if turned on) for each read. The imager attempts to find and decode

is turned Off, the imager will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.  
Default = Off.

No Read  
With No Read turned On, the imager notifies you if a code cannot be read. If  
using a Quick*View Scan Data Window, an “NR” appears when a code cannot  
be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear. Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”  
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.  
Print Weight  
Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If an  
imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print  
weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light print-  
ing, a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the Set Print Weight bar code,  
set the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from the inside back cover,  
then scanning Save. Default = 4.

Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read bar codes that are inverted.  
The Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. If additional  
menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar  
codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed. Default = Off.

Data Editing  
Prefix/Suffix Overview  
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 break-  
down of a message string:  
Prefix  
1-11  
alpha numeric  
characters  
Scanned Data  
Suffix  
1-11

Points to Keep In Mind  
It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter  
are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None.  
Default suffix = None.  
A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all  
symbologies.  
1252), page A-4, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.  
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.  
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on  
the output.  
When setting up for specific symbologies, instead of All Symbologies, the  
symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:  
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-4).  
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (see page  
A-1) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.  
For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.  
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back  
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.  
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.  
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.  
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.  
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to  
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.  
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.  
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.  
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology  
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:  
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.  
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (see page  
A-1) for UPC.  
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual.  
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:  
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol-  
ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is  
deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),  
all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.  
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage  
Delays  
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.  
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of  
data, increasing data integrity.  
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99  
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.  
Intercharacter Delay  
An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed  
between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Inter-  
character Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps

Data Formatting  
Data Format Editor Introduction  
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For exam-  
ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in  
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used  
only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.  
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however  
on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.  
Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the  
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order  
in which formats are applied:  
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length  
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length  
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length  
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length  
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length  
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length  
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length  
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length  
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and  
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-5.  
To Add a Data Format  
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-5).  
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format  
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 imager reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-  
6.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the  
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are  
programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the  
alternate format you are programming.  
Step 3. Terminal Type  
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back  
cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 dig-  
its). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.  
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.  
In the Symbology Chart (page A-1), 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 inside the  
back cover of this manual.  
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 inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50  
characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating  
all lengths.)  
Step 6. Editor Commands  
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric char-  
acters may be entered for each symbology data format.  
Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual to save your entries.  
Other Programming Selections  
Clear One Data Format  
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the  
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of  
this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending  
on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code  
the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain  
unaffected.  
Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual  
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.  
Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual  
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 pro-  
grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-  
mary 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 imager will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with  
the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Secondary Interface  
By switching secondary interface cables, the imager can, for example, commu-  
nicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to the host  
terminal (primary interface). Refer to the table below for interfaces supported  
by your model. Some features don’t apply if the interface is not supported by  
your model.

You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the second-  
ary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable bar code  
below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable bar code.  
Default =Disable.

Secondary RS-232 Connection  
All communication parameters between the imager 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. If you want to change the  
RS-232 settings, refer to RS-232 Baud Rate, page 2-10.  
RS-232 Interface  
Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation  
Note: See "Imager Models" on page 6-1 to determine which interfaces apply to  
your imager.  
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in  
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo-  
gies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128,  
Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other  
symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128. These  
codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity  
to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.

Secondary Trigger Mode  
Manual/Serial Trigger  
You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-  
mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.  
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until  
the deactivate command is sent. The imager can also be set to turn itself off  
after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).  
* Manual/Serial Trigger  
Read Time-Out  
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when  
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger  
mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by  
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read  
Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by  
scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default =  
30,000.  
Read Time-Out  
Note: Programming Read Time-Out in the secondary interface also programs it  
in the primary interface.  
Manual Trigger, Low Power  
When using Manual Trigger, Low Power, the imager powers down until the trig-  
ger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the imager powers up and operates  
until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time-Out bar  
code below. There is a delay of up to one second in operation when the imager  
is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power time-out  
mode.  
Manual Trigger, Low Power  
Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge  
applications.

Low Power Time-Out Timer  
Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in  
seconds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the  
inside back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.  
If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into  
low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer  
is reset.  
Low Power Time-Out  
Note: This time-out does not begin until the imager time-out setting has expired.  
Programming Low Power Time-Out in the secondary interface also  
programs it in the primary interface.  
Hands Free Time-Out  
The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”  
modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the  
imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager  
should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.  
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls)  
the imager reverts to the original hands free mode.  
Note: If you change the time-out duration for the secondary interface, the  
duration of the primary interface will also be changed.  
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration  
(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default =  
5,000 ms.

Scan Stand Mode  
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan  
Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol that follows.) When a different code  
is presented, the imager is triggered to read the new code.  
Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light  
level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol. When  
a symbol is presented, the imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting  
Scan Stand Mode  
Scan Stand Symbol  
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol  
on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand  
symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level  
(Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view.  
Scan Stand Symbol  
Presentation Mode  
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either  
off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to  
the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presenta-  
tion Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the  
room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

All Symbologies  
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your imager, scan the  
All Symbologies On code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a  
particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for  
that particular symbology.  
All Symbologies On  
All Symbologies Off  
Message Length Description  
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies.  
If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length,  
the imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for  
minimum and maximum length to force the imager 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.  
Min. length = 09  
Max. length = 20  
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.  
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15  
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,  
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the  
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart  
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and  
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character  
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos. You can pro-  
gram the imager to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check charac-  
ters. Default = No Check Character.  
No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code  
data with or without a check character.  
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager will only  
read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this  
character at the end of the scanned data.

Codabar Concatenation  
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the  
imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a  
symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concat-  
enated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

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

UPC-A/EAN-13  
with Extended Coupon Code  
Use the following codes to enable or disable UPC-A and EAN-13 with Extended  
Coupon Code. When left on the default setting (Off), the imager treats Coupon  
Codes and Extended Coupon Codes as single bar codes.  
If you scan the Allow Concatenation code, when the imager sees the coupon  
code and the extended coupon code in a single scan, it transmits both as sepa-  
rate symbologies. Otherwise, it transmits the first coupon code it reads.  
If you scan the Require Concatenation code, the imager must see and read  
the coupon code and extended coupon code in a single read to transmit the  
data. No data is output unless both codes are read.

Imaging Commands  
The image scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates,  
and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the  
imager performs these functions.  
Single-Use Basis  
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the imager on a  
single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture  
is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to  
permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see  
Chapter 12). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes  
the new, permanent setting for the imager.  
Command Syntax  
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If addi-  
tional modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers  
to that command. For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap com-  
mand, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T,  
you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.  
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you  
must follow it with an IMGSHP command if you want to see it on your  
terminal.  
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a  
semicolon. For example, to add the Image Ship command to the above  
sequence, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.  
The imaging commands are:  
The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.  
Note: The images included with each command description are examples only.  
The results you achieve may be different from those included in this  
manual. The quality of the output you receive will vary depending on  
lighting, quality of the initial image/object being captured, and distance of  
the imager from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is  
recommended that you position your imager 4-6" (10.16 - 15.24 cm) away  
from the image/object you are capturing.

Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP  
Image Snap - IMGSNP  
An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image  
Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.  
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to  
change the look of the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers  
and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be  
appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the following  
command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound  
once the snap is complete:  
IMGSNP2G1B  
IMGSNP Modifiers  
P - Imaging Style  
This sets the Image Snap style.  
0P  
Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be  
taken until the exposure parameters are met. The last frame is  
then available for further use.  
1P  
2P  
Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and  
results in a visually optimized image.  
Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be  
used by an experienced user. It allows you the most freedom to  
set up the imager, and has no auto-exposure.  
B - Beeper  
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.  
0B  
1B  
No beep (default)  
Sounds a beep when the image is captured.  
T - Wait for Trigger  
Waits for a hardware button push before taking the image. This is only  
available when using Photo Style (1P).  
0T  
1T  
Takes image immediately (default)  
Waits for a button push, then takes the image

L - LED State  
Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination  
(0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards,  
especially when the imager is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is preferred  
when the imager is handheld. LED State is not available when using Decoding  
Style (0P).  
0L  
1L  
LEDs off (default)  
LEDs on  
E - Exposure  
Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure  
time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The exposure  
time determines how long the imager takes to record an image. On a bright  
day, exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to  
help record an image. At nighttime, exposure time can increase dramatically  
due to the near absence of light. Units are 127 microseconds. (Default =  
7874)  
nE  
Range: 1 - 7874

fluorescent lighting:

G - Gain  
Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain  
modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the  
gain, the noise in an image is also amplified.

W - Target White Value  
Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For  
capturing close-up images of high contrast documents, a lower setting, such  
as 75, is recommended. Higher settings result in longer exposure times and  
brighter images, but if the setting is too high, the image may be overexposed.  
Target White Value is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default =  
125)

Range: 0 - 255  
U - Update Tries  
This sets the maximum number of frames the imager should take to reach the  
D - Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using Photo  
Style (1P). (Default = 6)

% - Target Set Point Percentage  
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A  
setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value,  
and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting  
from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances. To alter  
grayscale values, W - Target White Value should be used. (Default = 50)

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP  
Image Ship - IMGSHP  
An image is taken whenever the button is pressed, or when the Image Snap  
(IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory.  
You can “ship” the image by using the IMGSHP command.  
The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used to  
change the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that is transmit-  
ted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with a num-  
ber and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be  
appended to the IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following  
command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and docu-  
ment image filtering:

E - Edge Sharpen  
An edge sharpen filter cleans up the edges of an image, making it look cleaner  
and sharper. While edge sharpening does make the image look cleaner, it  
also removes some fine detail from the original image. The strength of the  
edge sharpen filter can be entered from 1 to 24. Entering a 23E gives the  
sharpest edges, but also increases noise in the image.

J - JPEG Image Quality  
Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image format is selected. Higher  
numbers result in higher quality, but larger files. Smaller numbers result in  
greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, lower  
quality, but smaller files. (Default = 50)

K - Gamma Correction  
Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image.  
You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher  
gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the  
darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

S - Pixel Ship  
Pixel Ship sizes an image in proportion to its original size. It decimates the  
image by shipping only certain, regularly spaced pixels. For example, 4S  
would transmit every fourth pixel from every fourth line. The smaller number  
of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point the  
image becomes unusable.

U - Document Image Filter  
Allows you to input parameters to sharpen the edges and smooth the area  
between the edges of text in an image. This filter should be used with gamma  
correction (see page 8-10), with the imager in a stand, and the image captured  
using the command:  
IMGSNP1P0L168W90%32D  
This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E -  
Edge Sharpen command (see page 8-14). This filter also works well when  
shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is  
26U.

W - Histogram Ship  
A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type.  
A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image  
has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail  
concentrated in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram for an image.

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX  
IMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture  
area relative to its proximity to a bar code. This allows you to tailor a signature  
capture area to a specific form. In order to use IMGBOX, you need a set form  
where the signature box location is in a known location relative to a bar code.  
You can input the overall size of the signature area, as well as specify how far  
the signature area is from the bar code, vertically and horizontally. You can also  
set the resolution and file format for the final output of the signature capture  
image.  
Note: IMGBOX commands can only be triggered by one of the following types of  
bar codes: PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved  
2 of 5. Once one of these symbologies has been read, the image is  
retained for a possible IMGBOX command.  
The following IMGBOX example was executed and viewed using QuickView  
software. This software is available at www.honeywellaidc.com. Click on Soft-  
ware Downloads. Select your device from the Products list, then select Quick-  
View Software Utility.  
Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the  
aimer is centered over the signature capture area and the trigger is pressed. A  
single beep is emitted, indicating that the imager has read a Code 128 bar code  
and the data has been transferred to the host. An IMGBOX command may now  
be sent from the host to specify the coordinates of the signature capture area  
below that code, and indicating that only that area containing the signature  
should be transferred as an image to the host.

To see this example, align the aimer with the signature area (not with the bar  
code), then press the trigger.  
Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push:  
IMGBOX245w37h55y.  
Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity.  
The following image is captured:  
The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to  
change the size and appearance of the signature image output by the imager.  
Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in  
memory. Modifiers always begin with a number and end with a letter (case  
insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX com-  
mand.  
Note: The IMGBOX command will return a NAK unless a window size (width and

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area  
The resolution is the number of pixels that the imager outputs per each  
minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the  
image, but also the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The imager  
automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit. For  
example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.5. Set to zero when using the  
Example of Resolution set to 0R:

Example of Resolution set to 2000R:  
S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio  
All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum  
element size of the bar code. The bar code aspect ratio allows you to set the  
ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width. In the example, the  
narrow element width is .010 inches and the bar code height is 0.400 inches,  
resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.  
W - Width of Signature Capture Area  
The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided  
by .01. In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4 inches,  
resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was used in the  
example to accommodate a slightly wider image area.)  
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset  
The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the  
signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right  
and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum  
bar width.  
Example of Horizontal Offset set to 75X:  
Example of Horizontal Offset set to -75X:  
Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset  
The vertical bar code offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the  
signature capture area. Negative numbers indicate that the signature capture  
is above the bar code, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the  
bar code. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.

OCR Programming  
Use this section to program the imager for optical character recognition (OCR).  
The 2D imager reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.  
Note: OCR is not as secure as bar codes. To enhance security in OCR  
applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an  
OCR check character.  
The 2D imager will read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency Serial Number  
(Money), MICR E-13B, and SEMI Font.  
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for  
the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 9-1 for pro-  
gramming codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Cur-  
rency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts. See "OCR Templates" on page 9-3 if you  
want to create a custom “template,or character string that defines the length  
and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager.  
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR  
reading.  
OCR Fonts  
Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the  
imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but  
not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased.  
The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR  
On codes listed below.  
< Default All OCR Settings >  
OCR  
Note: OCR symbols can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use  
presented upright to the imager.  
Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.  
OCR-A On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-A font. The default set-  
ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR  
template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see

OCR Templates  
You can create a custom “template,or character string that defines the length  
and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are sev-  
eral choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can cre-  
ate a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and  
you can create a template for a user-defined variable. These choices are  
described in detail below.  
Creating an OCR Template  
A single template allows you to program the imager to read any combination of  
characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template  
Characters table below.

All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.  
Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D),  
represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash.  
Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.  
To Add an OCR Template  
1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read (page 9-1).  
2. Begin building the template.  
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13).  
3. Scan the characters for the string.  
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you  
need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the  
Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your  
template.  
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template  
would be:  
dddddddd  
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter  
OCR Template symbol (page 9-13), then scan the d from the OCR  
Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR  
Template (page 9-13). This would let you read any string of eight digits, for  
example:  
37680981  
9 - 4  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Character Match Sequences  
This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in  
a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the  
required position (template characters are always lower case).  
Example: You need to read three variable digits, three specific characters  
(ABC), followed by three variable digits. The template would be:  
dddABCddd  
Using Visual Xpress (see page 11-4), you can enter the template as shown  
above, enclosing the whole string between quotes: “dddABCddd”.  
You may also create this character match sequence by scanning bar codes.  
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the  
OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan  
414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”),  
and scan the d three more times. Scan Save OCR Template, page 9-13.  
This would let you read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then any string of  
three digits, for example:  
551ABC983  
(The above OCR sample is OCR-A. You must enable the OCR-A font (page  
9-1) in order to read it.)  
Adding Spaces  
You may also need to put spaces in your template. A space is seen as a  
character, therefore you can use the directions for Character Match  
Sequences, above, to add spaces to a string. (The hex value for a space is  
20.)  
4. Exit OCR Template Editor  
Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template  
exits without saving any OCR Template changes.  
Stringing Together Multiple Formats  
(Creating “Or” Statements)  
You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this,  
you would string together each format with a “t. This tells the imager to read  
optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template.  
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination  
of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template  
would be:  
ddddddddtddddlldd  
9 - 5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter  
Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or”  
statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template.  
Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan d two more times. Scan Save  
OCR Template (page 9-13). This would let you read either type of format, for  
example:  
99028650  
or  
9902XZ50  
You can string together as many templates as you need.  
OCR User-Defined Variables  
You can create up to two of your own user variables for an OCR template.  
These variables will represent any OCR readable characters. The user-defined  
variables are stored under the letters “g” and “h. You need a variable to repre-  
sent the letters “A,” “B,” or “C.” The template for this user-defined variable  
would be:  
ABC  
Using Visual Xpress (see page 11-4), you can enter the string as shown above  
into the “G variable” text box. You must enclose the strings between quotes:  
“ABC”.  
You may also create this user-defined variable by scanning bar codes. Scan  
the Enter User-Defined Variable g symbol (page 9-13). Then scan 414243  
from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,B,and “C”), Scan Save  
OCR Template, page 9-13. This will let you read either A or B or C in any posi-  
tion where you place the g in the template. For example, you could create the  
following template:  
ddddddggg  
(Using Visual Xpress, you must enter “ddddddggg” in the Template text box.)  
This template would then let you read data that began with six digits, and had  
an A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read:  
654321ABC  
or  
654321BAC  
or  
654321CCC  
(The above OCR sample is OCR-A. You must enable the OCR-A font (page 9-  
1) in order to read it.)

Reading Multi-Row OCR  
The imager is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text.  
Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended.  
Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they  
would be entered using Quick*View.  
Example: You need to read multiple rows of OCR-A data as shown below:  
12345678  
ABCDEFGH  
First, enable the OCR-A font. To read the first row of OCR data, you would  
program the following template:  
OCRTMP"dddddddd".  
This template is the default OCR template. If you wanted to read the second  
line of data, you would use the following template:  
OCRTMP"llllllll".  
To read both lines of OCR at one time, use the variable r to indicate the start  
of a new row. All the other templating variables for the individual rows work  
the same as previously described. For instance, in the above example, you  
would use the following template to read both rows:  
OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllll".  
To read the three rows below, you would use the template command  
"OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllllrlllldddd".  
12345678  
ABCDEFGH  
ABCD1234  
OCR Check Character  
You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the  
security of your OCR application. The imager can be programmed for almost  
any type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common  
check character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).  
Scan the OCR Modulo 10 or OCR Modulo 36 Check Character bar code to  
specify the type of check character used in the OCR strings you’re scanning.  
The imager will then only read OCR character strings with a valid check charac-  
ter. The imager transmits the OCR data without the check character data. You  
must specify the location of the check character in the template with a c.

Example: You need to read any combination of seven digits, with a modulo 10  
check character in the eighth position. The template would be:  
dddddddc  
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Modulo  
10 Check Character symbol. Then scan the Enter OCR Template symbol,  
and scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart seven times, and scan the  
c once. Scan Save OCR Template (page 9-13). This template will let you  
read any combination of six digits with a correct check character after. (If the  
check character is invalid, the data is discarded.) For example, the following  
string could be scanned:  
01234569  
and the output would be: 0123456  
OCR Modulo 10 Check Character  
Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 10 check-  
sum of the digits 0 through 9.  
OCR Modulo 10 Check Character  
OCR Modulo 36 Check Character  
Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36 check-  
sum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z.  
OCR Modulo 36 Check Character  
OCR User-Defined Check Character  
You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application.  
Each character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its  
proper order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value  
for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted,  
but the imager also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes.  
Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the  
following 11 characters in order:  
9 - 8  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
0123456789X  
dddddddc  
Also enter the OCR template:  
Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string:  
6512351X  
The imager performs the following check character computation:  
(6 + 5 + 1 + 2 +3 + 5 + 1 + X) modulo 11 = 0  
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader  
outputs the message: 6512351  
Programming a User-Defined Check Character  
1. Scan the Enter OCR Check Character bar code, below.  
Enter OCR Check Character  
2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding  
Use the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual to  
scan the two symbols for each hex value.  
3. Scan the Save bar code on the inside back cover.  
Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on  
page 9-8, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Check  
Character bar code on page 9-9, then scan the following hex values  
in order:  
3031323334353637383958  
After you enter all the desired hex values, scan the Save bar code on the  
inside back cover of this manual.  
Weighting Options  
By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use  
one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if  
two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator  
keys in data.

3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character  
Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,  
the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 3, then 1, then 3, and so on. This is  
the checking scheme used in many GS1 symbologies, including U.P.C. and  
Interleaved 2 of 5 (when a check digit is invoked). To apply this weighting  
scheme, set the OCR check character to “0123456789x3x1” or scan the fol-  
lowing symbol:  
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10  
Check Character  
Example: Scan the 3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also  
enter the OCR template:  
dddddddc  
Then scan the string below:  
01234565  
The reader performs the check character computation below:  
(0 x 3 + 1 x 1 + 2 x 3 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 3 + 5 x 1 + 6 x 3 + 5 x 1) modulo 10 = 0  
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader  
outputs the message: 0123456  
2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character  
Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,  
the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 2, then 1, then 2, and so on. When the  
result of the multiplication is greater than 9, add both digits to the running sum.  
This is often referred to as the LUHN formula. One common application of the  
LUHN formula is validate credit card numbers. This is the modulo 10 checking  
scheme used in MSI Code and in Code 32 Pharmaceutical (PARAF). To apply  
this weighting scheme, set the OCR check character to "0123456789x2x1" or  
scan the following symbol:  
2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10  
Check Character  
Example: Scan the 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also  
enter the OCR template:  
ddddddc

Then scan the string below:  
0128454  
The reader performs the check character computation below:  
(0 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 2 x 1 + 8 x 2 + 4 x 1 + 5 x 2 + 4 x 1) modulo 10  
= (0 + 2 + 2 + (1 + 6) + 4 + (1 + 0) + 4) modulo 10  
= 0  
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader  
outputs the message: 012845  
OCR ISBN Application Example  
One application of OCR is to read the ISBN characters typically encoded using  
the OCR-A or OCR-B font. This is especially useful when the ISBN number is  
not encoded in an EAN-13 bar code. The following example shows how to con-  
figure the imager to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan. After you have  
followed the steps below, you will be able to scan the following ISBN number or  
the additional data below it, depending on the line of text at which the imager is  
aimed.  
1. Scan the OCR-B On bar code on page 9-2.  
2. Program the user-defined variable “g” to comprise the ten digits plus the  
dash:  
0123456789-  
3. In Japan, it is common for two fields to follow the ISBN number, the three  
digit price field, and the four digit price field. The first field typically starts  
with a “C” (uppercase c), followed by four digits. The second field typically  
starts with a “P” or a yen symbol, followed by three or four digits, followed by  
an “E.” Program the user-defined variable “h” to comprise the “P” and the  
yen symbol (represented by a backslash).  
P\

4. Scan the symbol below to set up three templates to handle the ISBN  
number, the three digit price field, and the four digit price field.  
5. Finally, set up the ISBN check digit, which is a special position-weighted  
modulo 11 checksum. The imager automatically invokes the ISBN  
checksum for template rows that are:  
1.) at least fourteen characters long,  
2.) whose first four characters are the letters “ISBN,”  
3.) whose last character is a check character, and  
4.) when the modulo 11 check character “0123456789X” is programmed.  
Note that all these commands can be combined into a single serial program-  
ming command:  
OCRENA2,TMP”ISBNggggggggggggctCdddd hdddEtCdddd  
hddddE”,GPG”0123456789-”,GPH”P\”,CHK”0123456789X”.  
These commands can be encoded into the following Aztec Code symbol:

Test Menu  
When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this  
manual, the imager displays the content of a programming code. The program-  
ming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that programming  
code is output to the terminal.  
Note: This feature should not be used during normal imager operation.

2D PQA (Print Quality Assessment)  
Two-dimensional Print Quality Assessment (2D PQA) is a feature of Honeywell’  
image readers where the data from the successful read of a 2D bar code sym-  
bol is augmented with lines of text that both identify the symbol, and also report  
graded measurement parameters obtained from it.  
2D PQA Reporting  
Honeywell' 2D PQA reporting can be enabled in two different modes: Full  
Report or Screening. (To see displayed results, Microsoft® Notepad, a word  
processor/editing program, or Quick*View (page 11-6) is recommended.)  
If you are using Quick*View, you can enable Full Report, a listing of all of a sym-  
bol's identifying information, measurements, and corresponding grades, by typ-  
ing the following menu command:  
2D_PQA1  
or by scanning the following bar code:  
Full Report  
Note: The PQA report is sent out as a second data/beep sequence after the bar  
code data. The report has its own Honeywell code ID of >(0X3E) so it can  
be uniquely identified.

Visual Xpress Introduction  
Note: Software revision 31205480-118 or higher is backward compatible with  
all non-advanced illumination units. This new revision of software can be  
flashed in non-advanced illumination units for full backward compatibility.  
Software 31205480-090 or lower cannot be flashed into units with  
advanced illumination. Visual Xpress will display an incompatibility error  
message.  
Non-Advanced  
Illumination Unit  
Advanced  
Illumination Unit  
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that  
can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual  
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change pro-  
grammed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using  
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an  
imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single  
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or  
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar  
code to load in the customized programming.  
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at  
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a  
physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an exter-  
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a  
USB cable is required.  
Visual Xpress Operations  
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:

Scan Data  
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a win-  
dow. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive  
imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-  
played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.  
Configure  
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The  
imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-  
ries. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node  
in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-  
hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular cate-  
gory. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration  
parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as  
required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them  
to a dcf file.  
Imaging  
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D imager can perform.  
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-  
played in an image window. Images captured from the imager can be saved to  
files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the  
image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images.  
Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the imager.  
Installing Visual Xpress from the Web

Serial Programming Commands  
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming  
bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will pro-  
gram your imager. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-  
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this  
manual.  
The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-11). The following  
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.  
Conventions  
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:  
parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a  
command.  
[option]  
{Data}  
bold  
An optional part of a command.  
Alternatives in a command.  
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and  
windows that appear on the screen.  
Menu Command Syntax  
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity  
only):  
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage  
Prefix  
Tag  
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).  
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu  
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings  
are identified with a Tag of 232.  
SubTag  
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu  
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the  
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.  
Data  
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-  
Tag.  
Storage  
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the  
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-  
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.  
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s  
non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table  
only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power  
cycle.

Query Commands  
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.  
^
?
*
What is the default value for the setting(s).  
What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).  
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de-  
vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of  
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-  
ues.)  
Tag Field Usage  
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set  
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage  
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be  
used because they are ignored by the device.  
SubTag Field Usage  
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the  
subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data  
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.  
Data Field Usage  
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the  
specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.  
Concatenation of Multiple Commands  
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only  
the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the  
sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the  
new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag  
and Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional com-  
mand requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous  
commands by a semicolon (;).  
Responses  
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:  
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.  
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.  
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the  
allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a  
minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 charac-  
ters.  
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the  
status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the  
period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

Trigger Commands  
You can activate and deactivate the imager with serial trigger commands. First,  
the imager must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the  
Manual/Serial Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-4), or by sending the Manual/  
Serial Menu Command (page 12-9). Once the imager is in serial trigger mode,  
the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:  
Activate: SYN T CR  
Deactivate: SYN U CR  
The imager scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command  
is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see "Read Time-Out" on  
page 3-4 for a description, and the serial command on page 12-9).  
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults  
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve  
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Stan-  
dard Product Default Settings bar code below.  
Standard Product Default Settings  
The chart on the following pages lists the factory default settings for each of the  
menu commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Maintenance  
Repairs  
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These ser-  
vices are to be performed only by an authorized service center. See  
"Customer Support" on page 15-1 for further information.  
Maintenance  
Your imager provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.  
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks  
ensure dependable imager operation:  
Cleaning the Device  
Reading performance may degrade if the imager’s window is not clean. If the  
window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isn’t operating well, clean the window with  
a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water  
solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened  
with water only.  
The imager’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.  
Caution:  
!
Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use  
abrasive wipes or tissues on the imager’s window –  
abrasive wipes may scratch the window.  
Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or  
phenol-based agents) on the housing or window –  
solvents may damage the finish or the window.  
Inspecting Cords and Connectors  
Inspect the imager’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of  
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with imager  
operation. Contact your Honeywell distributor for information about cable  
replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-2.

Replacing the Interface Cable  
The standard interface cable is attached to the imager with an 10-pin modular  
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the imager’s handle  
by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field  
replaceable.  
Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.  
When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the  
original interface cable.  
To Replace the 4600g/4600r Interface Cable:  
1. Turn the power to the host system  
OFF.  
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from  
the terminal or computer.  
3. Locate the small hole on the side of  
the imager’s handle. This is the cable  
release.  
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.  
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the  
small hole and press in. This  
depresses the retention tab, releasing  
the connector. Pull the connector out  
while maintaining pressure on the  
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.

Release  
6. Replace with the new cable.  
Insert the connector into the opening  
and press firmly. The connector is  
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.

2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from  
the terminal or computer.  
3. Rotate the imager downward to the  
last position.  
4. Locate the small hole on the side of  
the stand. This is the cable release.  
5. Straighten one end of a paper clip.  
6. Insert the end of the paper clip into the  
small hole and press in. This  
depresses the retention tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out

3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the cord  
lock from the base of the imager.  
4. Locate the small hole on the side of  
the imager’s handle. This is the cable  
release.

8. Screw the cord lock back in place over the cord.  
Troubleshooting  
The imager automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your  
imager is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to  
try to isolate the problem.  
Is the power on? Is the aiming beam on?  
If the aiming beam isn’t illuminated, check that:  
The cable is connected properly.  
The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).  
The trigger works.  
Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols?  
If the imager isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:  
Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.  
Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.  
Are enabled in the imager or in the decoder to which the imager connects.  
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?  
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press  
a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).  
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the imager to  
output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data  
information.  
Does the imager read the bar code incorrectly?  
If the imager reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host  
screen:  
The imager may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.  
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”  
Reprogram the imager with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection  
bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.  
The imager may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.  
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”  
Reprogram the imager with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 7.  
The imager won’t read your bar code at all.

1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the imager reads  
the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.  
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).  
2. If the imager still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan "All Symbologies" on  
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the imager, or if  
you want the factory default settings restored, scan Standard Product Default

Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes  
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data  
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar  
code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the  
one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with  
which the bar codes were created. The data characters should then appear  
properly.
