Connecting the Imager with Keyboard Wedge Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. An imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection: 1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer. 3.
Connecting the Imager with USB Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. An imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer. 1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager first, then to the computer. 2. Program the imager for a USB interface using the Plug and Play bar codes beginning on page 1-9. 3. The imager beeps. 4. Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.
Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. 1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager. Note: For the imager to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer. 3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port. 4.
Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Wedge Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. Your imager uses True and TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial network. Use only serial wedge cables to prevent damage to the imager. Refer to RS-232 Baud Rate on page 2-9 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.
9. To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, use the serial terminal ID 050 and follow the instructions on page 2-1. 10. Program the port for data transmission using the bar codes on page 1-12. Programming the Interface - Plug and Play Plug and Play bar codes 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.
USB Connection IBM SurePos Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the imager for IBM SurePos (USB Hand Held 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 bar code 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 bar code 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 bar codes, 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.
Each of the previous bar codes also programs the following suffixes for each symbology: Symbology EAN-8 EAN-13 UPC-A UPC-E Code 39 Interleaved 2 of 5 Code 128 Suffix 0C 16 0D 0A 00 0A 0B 00 0D 0B 00 0A 0B .
The Wand Emulation Plug & Play (Code 39 Format) bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Same Code bar code sets the terminal ID to 64. These bar codes also set the Transmission Rate to 25 inches per second, Output Polarity to black high, and Idle State to high. (If you want to change the terminal ID only, without changing any other imager settings, please refer to Wand Emulation Connection on page 2-12.
Reading Techniques The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read. Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit.

Supported Terminals Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager.
Keyboard Country Scan the appropriate country code below to program the keyboard for your country.
Keyboard Country (continued) Italy Latin America Netherlands (Dutch) Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia SCS Slovakia Spain Sweden Switzerland (German) 4600g, 4600r, 4800i User’s Guide 2-5
Keyboard Country (continued) Turkey F Turkey Q U.K. Please refer to the Hand Held Products website (www.handheld.com) for complete keyboard country support information and applicable interfaces. If you need to program a keyboard for a country other than one listed above, scan the Program Keyboard Country bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) for the appropriate country from the inside back cover, then the Save bar code.
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.
Control + ASCII Mode On: The imager sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 10-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values. Default = Off Control + ASCII Mode On * Control + ASCII Mode Off Turbo Mode: The imager sends characters to a terminal faster. If the terminal drops characters, do not use Turbo Mode. Default = Off Turbo Mode On * Turbo Mode Off Numeric Keypad Mode: Sends numeric characters as if entered from a numeric keypad.
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.
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 Receiver Time-Out The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS-232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up.
Wand Emulation Connection The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to change the terminal ID only, without changing any other imager settings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your imager to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID. Please refer to Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Wedge on page 1-7 for further information.
Wand Emulation Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to your imager. Note: Changing primary wand emulation settings also changes the secondary wand emulation settings (see Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation on page 6-2). Data Block Size This transmits the data in smaller blocks to prevent buffer overflow. Default = 40. 20 * 40 60 80 Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks. Default = 50ms.
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.
2 - 16 4600g, 4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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, 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.
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.
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 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.
Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge applications. Low Power Time-Out Timer Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in seconds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds. If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer is reset.
Scan Stand Symbol When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level (Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view. Scan Stand Symbol Presentation Mode This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode.
Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the imager's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1. Sensitivity Streaming Presentation™ Mode Note: This feature is applicable to the 4600r only.
Reread Delay This sets the time period before the imager can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required. Default = Medium. Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode or Streaming Presentation™ Mode (page 3-7).
LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the default) is the brightest setting. If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 3-10), the aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level. Note: If you scan the Off bar code, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan bar codes in low light.
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 bar code 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 4600r does not allow concurrent aimer mode. The Aimer Mode feature allows you to lower peak current during scanning by alternating the aimer and illumination LEDs.
In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will be. Bar Code 1 Bar Code 2 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.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes 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.
Decode Search Mode There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes: Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional search is very thorough which may slow performance time. Note: This search mode is the default setting.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the imager ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 3-16) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.
Preferred Symbology Time-out Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low priority symbologies, you must set the time-out period. This is the period of time the imager will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority bar code has been encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.
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 symbology 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 number, indicating all lengths.
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line: SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF The breakdown of the command line is shown below: SEQBLK 62 9999 41 FF 6A 9999 42 FF 69 9999 43 FF sequence editor start command code identifier for Code 39 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A” termination string for first code code identifier for Code 128 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths start character ma
Output Sequence Editor Enter Sequence Default Sequence Require Output Sequence When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the imager transmits all output data to the host device as is.
Multiple Symbols Note: This feature does not work when the Imager is in Low Power mode. When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the Imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, 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.
Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If an imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light printing, a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the Set Print Weight bar code, set the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 4.
Working Orientation Some bar codes are direction-sensitive. For example, KIX codes and OCR can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use the working orientation settings if your direction-sensitive codes will not usually be presented upright to the imager. Default = Upright.
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 4-4). 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.
User Specified Intercharacter Delay An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps (0-99), and the Save bar code 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 bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps (0-99), and the Save bar code 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 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 imager’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.
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 bar code 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 bar code 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 bar codes 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.
Secondary RS-232 Connection All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces. If you want to change the RS-232 settings, refer to RS-232 Baud Rate, page 2-9.
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. * Idle High Idle Low Data Block Size This transmits the data in smaller blocks to prevent buffer overflow. Default = 40.
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 follows). * Manual/Serial Trigger Read Time-Out Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger mode.
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. Note: Programming Low Power Time-Out in the secondary interface also programs it in the primary interface. Hands Free Time-Out The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes.
Scan Stand Mode When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol that follows.) When a different code is presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code. Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol. When a symbol is presented, the imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting (see LED Power Level on page 3-9).
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 bar code symbologies.
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 imager 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 imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character.
Select Require to prevent the imager from decoding a single “D” Codabar symbol without its companion. This selection has no effect on Codabar symbols without Stop/Start D characters. On * Off Require Codabar Message Length Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length Description (page 7-2) for additional information. Minimum and Maximum lengths = 2-60. Minimum Default = 4, Maximum Default = 60.
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. Default = Don’t Transmit. Transmit * Don’t Transmit Code 39 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, 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. When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager only reads Code 39 bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data. Default = No Check Character.
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 function 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 transmit the data. The imager stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each.
Note: Trioptic Code (page 7-34) must be turned off while scanning 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 = Off.
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 and Transmit, the imager 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. * No Check Digit Validate, but Don’t Transmit Validate and Transmit Interleaved 2 of 5 Message Length Scan the bar codes below to change the message length.

8 Imaging Commands The imager can be used as a digital camera for capturing, manipulating, and transferring images. Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent image capture. Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings. If you wish to change a default setting, you must use the serial default command (see Imaging Default Commands on page 12-23).
G - Gain: This modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. 1G No gain (default) 2G Medium gain 4G Heavy gain 8G Maximum gain D - Delta for Acceptance: This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo Style. (Default = 25) Range: 0 - 255 nD L - LED State: Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when.
The image ship command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image output by the imager. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect 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 IMGSHP command.
H - Histogram Stretch: Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats. 0H No stretch (default) 1H Histogram stretch I - Invert Image: Used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis in fixed mount applications where the imager is mounted upside down. 1IX Invert around the X axis (flips picture upside down) 1IY Invert around the Y axis (flips picture left to right) IF- Noise Reduction: Used to reduce the salt and pepper noise.
L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping: Ships a window of the image by specifying the left, right, top, and bottom pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered 0 through 640, and device rows are numbered 0 through 480. nL The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 640. (Default = 0) nR The right edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 640.
This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E Edge Sharpen command (see page 8-6). This filter also works well when shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U. 0U Document image filter off (default) 26U Apply document image filter for typical document image 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 22e. Range: 0-255.
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX Note: IMGBOX commands can only be used with PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 symbologies. Intelligent signature capture ships only part of an image to the host application. This method reduces transfer time and file size, while simplifying signature capture. Below is an example of an intelligent signature capture application. In this example, the operator reads the bar code, which is then transmitted to the host application.
F - File Format: Indicates the type of file format in which to save the image. 0F KIM format (default) 1F TIFF binary 2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed 3F TIFF grayscale 4F Uncompressed Binary 5F Uncompressed grayscale 6F JPEG image 7F Outlined image 8F BMP format H - Height of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 1 inch, resulting in a value of H = 1/0.01 = 100.
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 bar codes. To enhance security in OCR applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an OCR check character. The 2D imager will read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money), MICR E-13B, and SEMI Font.
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 bar codes, 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 On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart (inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that represent these characters. Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three digits. The template would be: } ddd414243ddd hex codes for letters A, B, and C To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font.
Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements) You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template. Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits.
This template would then let you read data that began with six digits, and had an A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read: 654321ABC or 654321BAC or 654321CCC 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.
OCR Check Character You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the security of your OCR application. The imager can be programmed for almost any type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common check character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36). Scan the OCR Modulo 10 or OCR Modulo 36 Check Character bar code to specify the type of check character used in the OCR strings you’re scanning.
OCR Modulo 36 Check Character Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36 checksum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z. OCR Modulo 36 Check Character OCR User-Defined Check Character You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value for the calculation.
2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4. Use the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual to scan the two symbols for each hex value. 3. Scan the Save bar code on the inside back cover. Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on page 9-9, enable the OCR-A font.
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader outputs the message: 0123456 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character Starting with the check character and working backward through the message, the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 2, then 1, then 2, and so on. When the result of the multiplication is greater than 9, add both digits to the running sum. This is often referred to as the LUHN formula.
OCR ISBN Application Example One application of OCR is to read the ISBN characters typically encoded using the OCR-A or OCR-B font. This is especially useful when the ISBN number is not encoded in an EAN-13 bar code. The following example shows how to configure the imager to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan. After you have followed the steps below, you will be able to scan the following ISBN number or the additional data below it, depending on the line of text at which the imager is aimed. 1.
5. Finally, set up the ISBN check digit, which is a special position-weighted modulo 11 checksum. The imager automatically invokes the ISBN checksum for template rows that are: 1.) at least fourteen characters long, 2.) whose first four characters are the letters “ISBN,” 3.) whose last character is a check character, and 4.) when the modulo 11 check character “0123456789X” is programmed.

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 bar code 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 bar code 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.
Note: The PQA report is sent out as a second data/beep sequence after the bar code data. The report has its own Hand Held Products code ID of >(0X3E) so it can be uniquely identified. 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 bar code: Exit Note: For additional information on interpreting your read results, please refer to Hand Held Products’ Quick Check 2D Print Assessment User’s Guide.
category. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them to a dcf file. Imaging Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Imager can perform. You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be displayed in an image window.
2. Click on Search and enter Quick*View. 3. Click on Search. 4. Click on the entry for Software. Select Quick*View Software Utility. 5. When prompted, select Save, 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. 8. Double click on the Quickview.exe file. Follow the screen prompts to install the Quick*View program. 9.
12 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 your imager. 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 1-11). 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.
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. 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*.
Trigger Commands You can activate and deactivate the imager with serial trigger commands. First, the imager must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the Manual/Serial Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-4), or by sending the Manual/ Serial Menu Command (page 12-9).
Menu Commands Note: Not all menu commands apply to all imager models.

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 Hand Held Products 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.
To Replace the 4800i Interface Cable: 1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from the terminal or computer. 3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the cord lock from the base of the imager. 4. Locate the small hole on the side of the imager’s handle. This is the cable release. 5. Straighten one end of a paper clip. 6. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and press in. This depresses the retention tab, releasing the connector.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered? The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example). You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the imager to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data into your application. Refer to "Prefix/Suffix Overview" on page 4-1 for further information.

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.
