Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port. 5. Plug the other serial connector into the host connection and tighten the two screws. 6.
Programming the Interface - Plug and Play Plug and Play barcodes provide instant imager set up for commonly used interfaces. Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect. Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. Keyboard Wedge Connection If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the barcode below.
USB Connection IBM SurePos Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the imager for IBM SurePos (USB handheld imager) or IBM SurePos (USB Tabletop imager). Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register.
USB PC or Macintosh® Keyboard Scan one of the following codes to program the imager for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes adds a CR and selects the terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard - 125). USB Keyboard (PC) USB Keyboard (Mac) USB Japanese Keyboard (PC) USB HID Scan the following code to program the imager for USB HID barcode imagers. Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131.
CTS/RTS Emulation On * Off ACK/NAK Mode On * Off RS-232 Serial Port Connection All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface barcode programs the imager for an RS-232 interface at 38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.
Serial Wedge Data Transmission Port Using the following barcodes, set the port to which you want the scanned data to transmit. Port 1 corresponds to P1 on the output cable and Port 2 corresponds to P2 on the output cable. Choosing Both sends scanned data to P1 and P2. Default = P1. * P1 P2 Both P1 and P2 IBM 4683 Ports 5B, 9B, and 17 Connection Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager.

If you need to program a keyboard for a country other than one listed above, scan the Program Keyboard Country barcode below, then scan the numeric barcode(s) for the appropriate country from the inside back cover, then the Save barcode.
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 barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g.
support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 10-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values. Default = Off Windows Mode Control + ASCII Mode On * Control + ASCII Mode Off DOS Mode Control + ASCII Mode On Turbo Mode: The imager sends characters to a terminal faster. If the terminal drops characters, do not use Turbo Mode.
Automatic Direct Connect Mode: This selection can be used if you have an IBM AT style terminal and the system is dropping characters.
RS-232 Baud Rate Baud Rate sends the data from the imager to the terminal at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the imager. Default = 38,400. 300 600 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 * 38400 57,600 115,200 RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. Default = None. 7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even 7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None 7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Odd 7 Data, 2 Stop, Parity Even 7 Data, 2 Stop Parity None 7 Data, 2 Stop, Parity Odd 8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even * 8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None 8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Odd 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.
receiver time-out by scanning the barcode below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on). 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.
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the barcode then sends data in the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies 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. The Code 39 Format barcode below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same Code Format barcode sets the terminal ID to 64. Default = Code 39 Format.
Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks. Default = 50ms. 5ms * 50ms 150ms 500ms Overall Checksum When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message. The check character is the character which when Exclusive-OR’d with every preceding character of the message yields a result of 0x00 (00H). Default = Off.
Wand Emulation Transmission Rate The Transmission Rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters. Default = 25 inches/second. 10 * 25 40 80 120 150 200 Wand Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with black bars high, or reversed with white bars high. Default = Black High.
Wand Emulation Idle The idle describes the state of the imager when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the imager’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the imager is connected. Default = Idle High.
3 Output Good Read Indicators Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = On. * On Off Beeper Volume – Good Read The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Medium for the 4600g/4600r/4600rp; High for the 4800i.
Beeper Pitch – Good Read The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Medium. Low (1600 Hz) * Medium (3250 Hz) High (4200 Hz) Beeper Duration – Good Read The beeper duration codes modify the length of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Normal. * Normal Beep Short Beep LED – Good Read The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Default = On.
LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps, scan the barcodebarcode below and then scan a digit (1-9) barcode and the Save barcode on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = One. Number of Pulses Good Read Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another barcode. Default = No Delay.
Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the imager scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released. When in serial mode, the imager scans until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent.
Low Power Time-Out Timer Scan the Low Power Time-Out barcode 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.
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol on page 3-6.) 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 (see LED Power Level on page 3-9).
Presentation LED Behavior after Decode When an imager is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a barcode is decoded. If you wish to turn the LEDs off immediately after a barcode is decoded, scan the LEDs Off barcode, below. Default = LEDs On. * LEDs On LEDs Off Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the imager's reaction time to barcode presentation.
Image Snap and Ship Image Snap and Ship tells the imager to take a picture (rather than read a barcode) the next time the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to the host system as a jpeg file. The imager then reverts to barcode reading for the next trigger press. Image Snap and Ship Hands Free Time-Out The Scan Stand, and Presentation, and Streaming Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes.
Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode or Streaming Presentation™ Mode (page 3-7). Short (500 ms) * Medium (750 ms) Long (1000 ms) Extra Long (2000 ms) User-Specified Reread Delay If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the barcode below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. User-Specified Reread Delay LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness.
If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 3-11), the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level. Note: If you scan the Off barcode, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan barcodes in low light. To turn the LED Power Level back on, move to a brightly lit area and scan either the Low or the High barcode below.
Imager Time-Out Imager Time-Out powers down the imager after the unit has been idle for the specified time. To prevent the imager from powering down, set this time-out to 0. Scan the barcode below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (from 0 999,999 ms) from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 60,000 ms. Note: The default applies to firmware with a base number of 31205480.
Aimer Mode Note: Concurrent is the default for units with 4X00 engines. Interlaced is the default for units with 5X00 engines. Refer to the Show Engine Revision on page 11-1 for information on determining the engine in your unit. The 4600g, 4600r, 4800i, and 4600rp do not allow concurrent aimer mode. The Aimer Mode feature allows you to lower peak current during scanning by alternating the aimer and illumination LEDs.
Barcode 1 Barcode 2 The default centering window is a 128x96 pixel area in the center of the imager’s field of view. The following diagram illustrates the default top, bottom, left, and right pixel positions, measured from the top and the left side of the imager’s field of view, which is 640 by 480 pixels. 40% 60% 100% 0 Top 40% Bottom Default Center 60% Left Right 100% If a barcode is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the imager.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following barcodes to change the top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.
Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for barcode 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 center band of the image. This mode is not omnidirectional, but does quickly read linear and stacked barcodes.
Scan a barcode below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Preferred Symbology On * Preferred Symbology Off High Priority Symbology To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology barcode below. On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Scan Save to save your selection.
Preferred Symbology Default Scan the barcode below to set all Preferred Symbology entries to their default values. Preferred Symbology Default Output Sequence Overview Require Output Sequence When turned off, the barcode 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 Multiple Symbols (page 3-20) is enabled.

(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. Other Programming Selections •Discard This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.
9999 43 FF code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C” termination string for third code To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length.
When the output sequence is Off, the barcode data is output to the host as the imager decodes it. Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on. Required On/Not Required *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.
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. 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. Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols.
Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read barcodes that are inverted. The “Off” barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu barcodes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed. Note: Images downloaded from the unit will not be reversed. This is a setting for decoding only. On * Off Working Orientation Some barcodes are direction-sensitive.

4 Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This group of barcode 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.
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 (included in 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.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes: You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. 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.
Prefix Selections Add Prefix Clear One Prefix Clear All Prefixes Suffix Selections Add Suffix Clear One Suffix Clear All Suffixes 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 10-3. When the imager is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted.
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.
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay barcode, then the 2-digit hex value for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4. Delay Length Character to Trigger Delay To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length barcode, and set the number of steps to 0. Scan the Save barcode using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Intermessage Delay An intermessage delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed between each scan transmission. Scan the Intermessage Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps (0-99), and the Save barcode using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. 1st Scan Transmission 2nd Scan Transmission Intermessage Delay Intermessage Delay To remove this delay, scan the Intermessage Delay barcode, then set the number of steps to 0.

5 Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode 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.
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 Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050.
F4 Send “xx” character “nn” times (Insert) leaving cursor in current cursor position. Syntax = F4xxnn (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, and nn is the numeric value (00-99) for the number of times it should be sent.) E9 Send all but the last “nn” characters, starting from the current cursor position. Syntax = E9nn (nn is the numeric value (00-99) for the number of characters that will not be sent at the end of the message.
E5 FE EC ED ters to be replaced and xx2 defines replacement characters, continuing through zz1 and zz2. Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5. Compare character in current cursor position to the character “xx.” If characters are equal, increment cursor. If characters are not equal, no format match. Syntax = FExx (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4.) Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position.
Data Format Editor Enter Data Format * Default Data Format Clear One Data Format Clear All Data Formats Save Discard Data Formatter When Data Formatter is turned off, the barcode data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On, but Not Required.
Alternate Data Formats Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one barcode using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are programmed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3. An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format barcodes below.
6 Secondary Interface By switching secondary interface cables, the imager can, for example, communicate 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 secondary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable barcode below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable barcode. Default =Disable. * Disable Enable 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.
The Code 39 Format barcode below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same Code Format barcode sets the terminal ID to 64. Wand Emulation Same Code Format Wand Emulation Code 39 Format Wand Emulation Multi Block Note: See "Imager Models" on page 6-1 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. Note: Changing secondary wand emulation settings also changes the primary wand emulation settings (see Wand Emulation on page 2-13). Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks.
Overall Checksum When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message. The check character is the character which when Exclusive-OR’d with every preceding character of the message yields a result of 0x00 (00H). Default = Off. On * Off Wand Emulation Transmission Rate The Transmission Rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters. Default = 25 inches/second.
Wand Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with black bars high, or reversed with white bars high. Default = Black High. * Black High White High Wand Emulation Idle The idle describes the state of the imager when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the imager’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the imager is connected. Default = Idle High.
Secondary Trigger Mode Manual/Serial Trigger You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the imager scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released. When in serial mode, the imager scans until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent.
Low Power Time-Out Timer Scan the Low Power Time-Out barcode 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.
Scan Stand Mode Note: Scan Stand Mode is only available for non-advanced illumination units with software revision 31205480-090 or older. Refer to the Show Software Revision on page 11-2 for information on determining the software in your unit. 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.
7 Symbologies This programming section contains the following menu selections. Refer to Chapter 12 for settings and defaults.
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 barcode symbologies.
Codabar Codabar * On Off Codabar Start/Stop Characters Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the barcode. You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters. Default = Don’t Transmit. Transmit * Don’t Transmit Codabar Check Character Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can program the imager to read only Codabar barcodes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = No Check Character.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only read Codabar barcodes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data. * No Check Character Validate Modulo 16, but Don’t Transmit Validate Modulo 16 and Transmit 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.

8 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.
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.
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 LEDs off (default) 1L LEDs on E - Exposure Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure time.
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. 1G No gain (default) 2G Medium gain 4G Heavy gain 8G Maximum gain Example of Gain at 1G: Example of Gain at 4G: Example of Gain at 8G: W - Target White Value Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image.
% - 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.
IMGSHP Modifiers A - Infinity Filter Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or 3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with IMGSHP Modifiers (page 8-6). 0A Infinity filter off (default) 1A Infinity filter on Example of Infinity Filter off (0A) from approximately 12 feet (3.66m) away: Example of Infinity Filter on (1A) from approximately 12 feet (3.66m) away: C - Compensation Flattens the image to account for variations in illumination across the image.
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.
H - Histogram Stretch Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats. 0H No stretch (default) 1H Histogram stretch Example of Histogram Stretch at 0H: Example of Histogram Stretch at 1H: I - Invert Image Invert image is used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis.
IF- Noise Reduction Used to reduce the salt and pepper noise in an 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.
nB The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 480. (Default = all rows) Uncropped Image: Example of Image Crop set to 200B: Example of Image Crop set to 300R: Example of Image Crop set to 300L: Example of Image Crop set to 200T: Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the image; thus only the center pixels are transmitted.
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.
nU Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use lower numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a similar effect to setting E - Edge Sharpen (page 8-7) to 22e. Range: 0-255. Example of Document Image Filter set to 0U: Example of Document Image Filter set to 26U: V - Blur Image Smooths transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image.
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.
To see this example, align the aimer with the signature area (not with the barcode), 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.
B - Output Image Height This option is used to size the image vertically. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero. Example of Image Height set to 50B: Example of Image Height set to 100B: D - Pixel Depth This indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image, which defines whether it will be grayscale or black and white.
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.
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 A and B modifiers (see A - Output Image Width and B - Output Image Height on page 8-16).
X - Horizontal Barcode Offset The horizontal barcode 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 Barcode Offset The vertical barcode offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the signature capture area.

9 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 barcodes. 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.
OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default setting 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 Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3). OCR-B On U.S. Currency Font U.S. Currency On allows you to scan characters in the font used on U.S. currency. The default setting allows you to scan any eight digit combination.
SEMI Font SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI Font On All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite barcodes, but not OCR fonts. However, any OCR templates you have created will be retained in memory. * All OCR Off 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.
Template Characters a represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) c represents that a check character is verified but not transmitted d represents any digit e represents any available OCR character g represents character from user-defined variable “g” h represents character from user-defined variable “h” i represents character from user-defined variable “g” or “h” k represents that a check character is verified but transmitted l represents any uppercase letter t marks the star
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.
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming 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).
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".
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.
0123456789X Also enter the OCR template: dddddddc 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 barcode, below. Enter OCR Check Character 2. Enter the characters in order.
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).
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.
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.
OCR Template Codes Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the factory if you have an application that requires reading four or more rows of OCR.

11 Utilities 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, 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. Add Code I.D.
Show Scan Driver Revision Scan the barcode below to output the scan driver revision. The scan driver controls image capture. You may use the Show Scan Driver Revision option if you have firmware with a base number of 31205480. Refer to the Show Software Revision below for information on determining the firmware revision in your unit. Show Scan Driver Revision Show Software Revision Scan the barcode below to output the current software revision, unit serial number, and other product information.
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 programming 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.
You can exit Full Report mode by either typing the menu command, 2D_PQA0, if you are using Quick*View, or by scanning the following barcode: Exit Note: For additional information on interpreting your read results, please refer to Honeywell Quick Check 2D Print Assessment User’s Guide.

12 Serial Programming Commands The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming barcodes. Both the serial commands and the programming barcodes will program your imager. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode 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.
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 device’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.
Examples of Query Commands In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response. Example #1:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable? Enter: cbrena*. Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK] This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of values from 0 to 1 (off and on). Example #2: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable? Enter: cbrena^.
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 barcode (page 3-4), or by sending the Manual/ Serial Menu Command (page 12-9).

14 Maintenance Repairs Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services 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.
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.
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 while maintaining pressure on the paper clip, then remove the paper clip. 7. 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. To Replace the 4800i Interface Cable: 1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2.
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 barcode displayed but not entered? The barcode 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).

Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes 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 barcode 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 barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear properly. Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
