• Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host • Connection of the Base to an Interface Unpacking the System After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps: • Check to make sure everything you ordered is present. • Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping. • Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton.
Cordless System: Main Components Battery Contained in Handle About the Battery ! Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold by Hand Held Products will void your warranty and may result in damage to your unit. Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner handle. Each scanner is shipped with a battery. (See Product Specifications beginning on page 11-1.
Battery Recommendations • Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity. • The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, as well as can be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell type battery. • Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the battery.
Base Charge Mode In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the circuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied to the base: Condition 1: Condition 2: Condition 3: 9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector 12VDC host power source only 5VDC host power source only The chart below describes each selection by condition.
Linking Scanner to Base When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. Once the scanner is placed into the base, the software automatically links the scanner and the base. If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, you are set to one scanner to one base.
Single Scanner Operation There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one mode to another. Default = Locked Link Mode. Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base.
Multiple Scanner Operation To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base and must be placed into the base to re-link. Multiple Scanner Operation Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth scanner until you unlink one of the 7 scanners or take a scanner out of range. Scanner Name You are able to assign a name to each scanner you are using.
Changing Scanner Name - via Bar Codes If you wanted to set up your scanners with names 0001-0007, you may scan the bar codes below. Scan the Reset bar code after each name change and wait for the scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next bar code to name the next scanner. 0001 0002 0003 0004 0005 0006 0007 Reset Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot send serial commands to the base.
Scanner Report Scan the bar code below to generate a report for the connected scanners. The report indicates the port, work group, scanner name, and address. Scanner Report Application Work Groups Your cordless system can have up to seven scanners linked to one base. You can also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. If you want each scanner to have unique settings (e.g.
Application Work Group Selection This programming selection allows you to assign a scanner to a work group by scanning the bar code below. You may then program the settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires.
Resetting the Standard Product Default Settings: Current Application Work Group If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want the standard product default settings restored, scan the Standard Product Default Settings: Current Application Group bar code below. The Menu Commands starting on page 10-6 list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
Using the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices The 3820 scanner may be used either with the 2020-5B base or with other Bluetooth devices. Scanning the Non-Base Bluetooth Connection bar code below allows the scanner to be used with other Bluetooth devices (e.g., PDA, PC - Bluetooth USB Adapter). After you scan the bar code below, follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the scanner and connect to it.
Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error beep even if you do not have the alarm set. You receive the error beep since the data could not be communicated to the base or the host. Alarm Sound Type If you have set the out-of-range alarm enabled, you may change the alarm type for the scanner or base by scanning the appropriate bar code below and then scanning a digit (0-7) bar code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Cordless Scanner The cordless scanner enables fast and accurate bar code scanning using a noncontact linear scanner. The scanner is comprised of a linear scanner, a decode/control assembly, and an RF communication module. The scan engine performs the bar code image illumination and sensing.
Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between the scanner and the base. When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/ computer. Disconnect 3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base and to the terminal/ computer and keyboard. 4. Turn the terminal/ computer power back on. 3 1 2 5. Program the base for the keyboard wedge interface. See "Keyboard Wedge Connection" on page 121.) 6. Verify the base operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.
Reading Techniques The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming line should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it will not read if the aiming line is in any other direction. Good Read Bad Read Bad Read The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the unit.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect. 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 bar code below. Keyboard wedge is the default interface. Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.
Wand Emulation Plug & Play In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Same Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.
IBM 4683 Ports 5B, 9B, and 17 Interface Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the 3820 for IBM 4683 Port 5B, 9B, or 17. Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register.
Connecting the Base with USB A base can be connected to the USB port of a computer. 1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base and to the computer. 2. Program the base for the USB interface by scanning the appropriate programming bar code. 3. Verify the base operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual. For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to Hand Held Products “USB Application Note,” available at www.handheld.com.
IBM SurePos Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the 3820 for IBM SurePos (USB Hand Held scanner) or IBM SurePos (USB Tabletop scanner). Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register.
USB HID Scan the following code to program the 3820 for USB HID bar code scanners. Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131. USB HID Bar Code Scanner USB Com Port Emulation Scan the following code to program the 3820 to emulate a regular RS-232-based Com Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will need to download a driver from the Hand Held Products website (www.handheld.com). The driver will use the next available Com Port number.
Connecting the Base with Serial Wedge The 2020-5B uses TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial network. Use only 2020-5B serial wedge cables to prevent damage to the base. Refer to Connecting the Base with RS-232 Serial Port on page 2-8 to set the baud rate and communications protocol. 1. Turn off power to the computer. 2. Disconnect the existing serial cable from the computer. 3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base.
To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, use the serial terminal ID 050 and follow the instructions on page 2-1. Make sure that all of the communication parameters match on all of the connected devices. Choosing Both sends scanned data to P1 and P2. Default = P1.

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF. RS-232 Interface RS-232 Baud Rate Baud Rate sends the data from the scanner to the terminal at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the scanner.
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. 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. Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. Default = None.
RS-232 Handshaking RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device. CTS/RTS operates in mode 2. 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 scanner. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 2-13. The is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y x, where “y” is the application work group number, “ x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator. Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An example of a command string is listed below. 0456, The above example will make a scanner in application work group zero beep low, medium, high.

Wand Emulation 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 scanner settings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your scanner to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID. Please refer to Wand Emulation Plug & Play on page 1-22 for further information.
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 scanner when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the scanner’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the scanner is connected. Default = Idle High. * Idle High Idle Low Wand Emulation Data Block Size This transmits the data in smaller blocks to prevent buffer overflow. Default = 40. 20 * 40 60 80 Wand Emulation Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks. Default = 50ms.
Wand Emulation 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.

3 Output Scanner Functions 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. * Beeper - Good Read On Beeper - Good Read Off Beeper Volume – Good Read The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the scanner emits on a good read. Default = Medium.
Beeper Pitch – Good Read The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the scanner 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 scanner 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.
Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good 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.
Scanner Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 10-4). When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent.
Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out. If there are no trigger pulls during the “scanner power time-out timer” interval, the scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the “scanner power time-out timer” is reset. If the scanner is placed in the 2020-5B cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the scanner will not go into power down mode.
Hands Free Time-Out The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner 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 scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.
Centering Window Use the centering feature to narrow the scanner’s field of view so the scanner reads only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the scanner 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 output by the scanner. To change the left or right edge of the centering window, scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes.
Example: If you have two bar codes next to one another and the centering window is set to 40% left edge and 60% right edge, only the bar code that intersects that window will be decoded. Decoded bar code 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Output Sequence Overview Require Output Sequence When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner decodes it.

Multiple Symbols When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
4 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.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix: Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3). Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the 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.
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 scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 7-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.
Intercharacter Delay An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Prefix Scanned Data 1 2 3 4 Suffix 5 Intercharacter Delay Intercharacter Delay To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of steps to 0.
Interfunction Delay An interfunction delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string. Scan the Interfunction Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Prefix STX 1 Scanned Data HT 2 3 4 5 Suffix CR LF Interfunction Delays Interfunction Delay To remove this delay, scan the Interfunction Delay bar code, 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 scanner’s output. For example, 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.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099. Step 4. Code I.D. In the 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.

6 Symbologies Introduction This programming section contains the following menu selections. Refer to Chapter 10 for settings and defaults.
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 scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread. EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters. Min. length = 09 Max.
Codabar Codabar * On Off Codabar Start/Stop Characters Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. 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 scanner to read only Codabar bar codes 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 bar codes 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 scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character.
Codabar Message Length Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length on page 6-2 for additional information. Minimum and Maximum lengths = 2-60. Minimum Default = 4, Maximum Default = 60. Minimum Message Length Maximum Message Length Code 39 < Default All Code 39 Settings > Code 39 * On Off Code 39 Start/Stop Characters Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters.
Code 39, continued Code 39 Check Character No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character. When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Code 39 bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.
Code 39, continued Code 39 Append This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each.
Note: Trioptic Code must be turned off to scan Code 32 Pharmaceutical codes. On * Off Full ASCII If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs within the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single character. For example: $V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as the ASCII character #. Default = On.
Code 39 Code Page 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.
When Check Digit is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a check digit, but will not transmit the check digit with the scanned data. When Check Digit is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner only reads Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a check digit, and will transmit this digit at the end of the scanned data. Default = No Check Digit.

9 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 programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an imager.
Installing Visual Xpress from the Web 1. Access the Hand Held Products web site at www.handheld.com. 2. Click in the Quick Search text box and enter Visual Xpress. 3. Click on Search Now. 4. Click on the entry for Visual Xpress. 5. When prompted, select Save File, and save the files to the c:\windows\temp directory. 6. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site. 7. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file and unzip the file you saved. 8. Double click on Setup.
10 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 program the 2020-5B. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual. The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-21). The following commands can be sent via a PC com port using terminal emulation software.
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag. Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’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.
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 command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).
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].

12 Maintenance Maintenance 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 13-1 for further information. Cleaning the Scanner’s Window 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 solution).
Replacing the 2020-5B Interface Cable: 1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2. Disconnect the base’s cable from the terminal or computer. 3. Turn the base upside down. 4. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure on the connector release clip. 5. 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. Changing the 3820 Battery: 1. Remove the screw on the end cap. 2.
If the green LED isn’t illuminated, check that: • • • • The scanner is correctly placed in the base. There is external power or 12 volt host power. Charge mode is turned on. (See "Base Charge Mode" on page 1-5) The battery is not bad or deeply discharged. In some cases, the scanner’s battery may trickle charge to bring it into an acceptable level and then transition to a normal charge cycle. Troubleshooting Scanner Note: Make sure that your scanner’s battery is charged.
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 6). 2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies on page 6-1.

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.
