Reading Techniques  
The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field  
of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it  
will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.  
Good Technique  
Bad Technique  
Bad Technique  
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7  
cm) from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (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 bar code.  
Reading PDF417 Bar Codes  
Note: Applies to 3800gHD and 3800gPDF.  
To read PDF417 bar codes with a PDF-enabled 3800gHD/3800gPDF, hold the  
trigger down and move the scanner up and down so the aiming line sweeps  
from the top of the bar code to the bottom, and back up. This ensures that the  
entire code is scanned.

Keyboard Style  
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. Default =  
Regular.  
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  
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.

Keyboard Modifiers  
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and  
Turbo Mode.  
Control + ASCII Mode On: The imager sends key combinations for ASCII  
control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All key-  
board country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does  
not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows  
mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 8-1 for CTRL+ ASCII  
Values. Default = Off

read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be  
five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and  
LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps,  
scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar  
code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default =  
One.

Good Read Delay  
This sets the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another bar  
code. Default = No Delay.  
* No Delay  
Short Delay (500 ms)  
Medium Delay (1000 ms)  
Long Delay (1500 ms)  
User-Specified Good Read Delay  
If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code  
below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from  
the inside back cover, then scanning Save.  
Trigger Modes  
Manual/Serial Trigger  
You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-  
ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When in manual trigger  
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. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to  
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol-  
lows).  
* 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. Once the imager has timed out,  
you can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-

ger 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  
Automatic Trigger  
The imager scans continuously using internal LEDs to detect bar codes.  
Automatic Trigger  
Presentation Mode  
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for  
ambient conditions until a change occurs in the imager’s field of view. Then the  
LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not  
high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.  
Presentation Mode  
Continuous Illumination Mode  
If you have several bar codes that are close together, you may wish to have a  
continuous aiming beam on in order to properly aim the imager at one bar code.  
Scan the Continuous Illumination On bar code to program the imager for this  
capability. Once you have the aiming beam over the correct bar code, pull the  
trigger to read the code. Scan the Continuous Illumination Off bar code to  
turn off this feature.  
Continuous Illumination Mode On  
* Continuous Illumination Mode Off  
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.

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.  
Hands Free Time-Out  
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 at  
POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar  
code scanning is required. Default = Medium.  
Reread Delay only works when in automatic trigger mode or presentation mode  
(see page 3-4).  
Short (500 ms)  
* Medium (750 ms)  
Long (1000 ms)

User-Specified Reread Delay  
Use the centering feature to narrow the imager’s field of view so the imager  
reads only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the imager only  
reads codes that intersect or are contained within the centering window you set  
up. At least part of a bar code must be within the window to be decoded or out-  
put by the imager.

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.  
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is  
turned on.  
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  
these options.  
Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.  
To Add an Output Sequence  
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-  
9).  
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  
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-2, find the Hex  
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.)  
5. End Output Sequence Editor  
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save  
to save your entries.

Output Sequence Example  
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes,  
but you want the image scanner 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:

Multiple Symbols  
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  
new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection  
is turned Off, the imager will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.  
On  
* Off  
No Read  
With No Read turned On, the imager sends an “NR” to the host if you pull and  
release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad bar code). If No Read is  
turned Off, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.  
On  
* Off  
If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”  
you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter (page 5-5). The hex  
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

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  
alpha numeric  
characters  
variable length  
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.  
You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page  
1252) on page A-2, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.  
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on  
the output.  
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:  
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).  
Appendix A) 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 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page  
1252) on page A-2, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.  
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back  
cover of this manual.  
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 (included in  
the ) for UPC.  
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual.  
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page  
1252) on page A-2, for the CR (carriage return).  
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual.  
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.  
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.  
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in  
Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix  
or suffix.

Function Code Transmit  
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the  
scanned data, the imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of  
these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on  
page 8-3. When the imager is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-  
verted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.  
* Enable

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

Data Formatting  
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  
when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands  
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 5-4.  
To Add a Data Format  
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).  
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-  
5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro-  
gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are pro-  
gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the  
Step 3. Terminal Type  
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter-  
minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the  
3800g/3800gHD/3800gPDF User’s Guide

inside back cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must  
enter 3 digits). 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 Appendix A 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 Program-  
ming 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  
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the  
symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanu-  
meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.  
Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
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 (refer to the  
Supported Terminals Chart on page 2-2), Code I.D. (refer to the Symbology  
Chart on page A-1), and the bar code data length for 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 3800g imager, for example, can  
communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to  
the host terminal (primary interface). See the table below for the secondary  
interfaces for the 3800g.

Enabling the Secondary Interface  
The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.  
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.  
* Disable

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 the Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port  
section on page 1-6.

Secondary Trigger Mode  
Manual Trigger: You must press the imager trigger to scan. When not scan-  
ning, idle power is maintained. Default = Manual Trigger.  
* Manual Trigger  
Automatic Trigger: The imager scans continuously at full power.  
Automatic Trigger  
Presentation Mode: The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the  
imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation  
Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes.  
Presentation Mode  
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.

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  
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.

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.

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, scan the bar code below,  
select the code page with which the bar codes were created from the chart,  
Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes on page A-4, and scan the value and  
the SAVE bar code from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual. The data characters should then appear properly.

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard  
for communicating critical blood information in a uniform manner. The use of  
ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification  
describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current  
recommendation to use Code 128 due to its high degree of security and its  
space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation  
of neighboring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood  
product label. Use the bar codes below to turn concatenation on or off. Default  
=Off.

To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies  
This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the  
decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart, included in the "Appendix  
A" on page A-1) for the single character code that identifies each symbology.)  
This action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for  
all symbologies. This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit  
is power cycled.

Visual Xpress  
Visual Xpress Introduction  
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  
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.

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 the 3800g. 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 1-7). 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:  
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a  
command.  
[option] An optional part of a command.  
{Data} Alternatives in a command.  
bold  
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  
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:  
ACKIndicates a good command which has been processed.  
ENQIndicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.  
NAKIndicates 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 mini-  
mum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.  
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.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]  
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is  
set to 1, or on.  
Example: Example #4: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar  
selections?  
Enter:  
cbr?.  
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],  
SSX0[ACK],  
CK20[ACK],  
CCT1[ACK],  
MIN2[ACK],  
MAX60[ACK],  
DFT[ACK].  
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is  
set to 1, or on;  
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;  
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;  
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;  
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;  
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

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 3-3), or by sending the Manual/  
Serial Menu Command (page 11-8). 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 3-3 for a description, and the serial command on page 11-8).  
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).

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. Please see  
Customer Support on page 14-1 for further information.  
Maintenance  
The 3800g provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.  
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks  
ensure dependable scanner operation:  
Cleaning the Device  
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the  
window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window  
with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild soapy water solu-  
tion). If a soapy water solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened  
with water only.  
The scanner’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 scanner’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of  
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner  
replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 13-2.

Replacing the Interface Cable  
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular  
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the 3800g scanner’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 3800g Interface Cable:  
1. Turn the power to the host system  
OFF.  
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from  
the terminal or computer.  
3. Locate the small hole on the side of  
the scanner’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.  
Cable  
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.  
Troubleshooting  
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your  
scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide  
to try to isolate the problem.  
Is the power on? Is the aiming beam line on?  
If the aiming beam line 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 scanner having trouble reading your symbols?  
If the scanner 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 scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner 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 scanner to out-  
put the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data  
into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 4-1 for further  
information.  
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?  
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the  
host screen:  
The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.  
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”  
Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection  
bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.  
The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.  
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”  
Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter  
7.  
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner 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 scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies on  
page 7-2.  
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if  
you want the factory default settings restored, scan Resetting the Standard  
Product Defaults on page 11-4.

Limited Warranty  
Honeywell International Inc. ("Honeywell") warrants its products to be free from  
defects in materials and workmanship and to conform to Honeywell’s published  
specifications applicable to the products purchased at the time of shipment.  
This warranty does not cover any Honeywell product which is (i) improperly  
installed or used; (ii) damaged by accident or negligence, including failure to fol-  
low the proper maintenance, service, and cleaning schedule; or (iii) damaged  
as a result of (A) modification or alteration by the purchaser or other party, (B)  
excessive voltage or current supplied to or drawn from the interface connec-  
tions, (C) static electricity or electro-static discharge, (D) operation under condi-  
tions beyond the specified operating parameters, or (E) repair or service of the  
product by anyone other than Honeywell or its authorized representatives.  
This warranty shall extend from the time of shipment for the duration published  
by Honeywell for the product at the time of purchase ("Warranty Period"). Any  
defective product must be returned (at purchaser’s expense) during the War-  
ranty Period to Honeywell’s factory or authorized service center for inspection.  
No product will be accepted by Honeywell without a Return Materials Authoriza-  
tion, which may be obtained by contacting Honeywell. In the event that the  
product is returned to Honeywell or its authorized service center within the War-  
ranty Period and Honeywell determines to its satisfaction that the product is  
defective due to defects in materials or workmanship, Honeywell, at its sole  
option, will either repair or replace the product without charge, except for return  
shipping to Honeywell.  
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE  
FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER COVENANTS OR

ANY LIABILITY OF HONEYWELL ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY  
PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER (WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES  
WISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID TO HONEYWELL FOR THE  
PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SHALL REMAIN IN FULL  
FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HONEYWELL MAY HAVE BEEN  
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURIES, LOSSES, OR DAM-  
AGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE

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.  
Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
