Getting Started

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Voyager™ 1450g corded area-imaging scanners

and Voyager 1452g cordless area-imaging scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support infor-

mation are also included.

Note: The selections in this User’s Guide are dependent on the Voyager 145Xg model you have purchased.

PDF and 2 dimensional bar codes can only be read by model 145Xg2D and cannot be read by model 145Xg1D.

Honeywell bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need

to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Reading Techniques

The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scanner’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.

The aiming beam or pattern is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Sym-

bologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements

(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner

at an appropriate distance from the target, press the trigger, and center the aiming beam or pattern on the symbol. If the code

being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflec-

tion.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want

to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest techni-

cal support office (see Customer Support on page 13-1) for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults

bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric

codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have

entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

Note: When using a cordless system, the Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups. Scanning the Save Defaults bar

code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become unlinked. The scanner

must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes are entered. If using an Access Point, the linking

bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite

the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide

you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High

menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be

updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is

the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom

defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom

defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform

a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link. If using an Access Point,

the linking bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

Programming the Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.

Programming the Interface - Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scanner 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.

Keyboard Wedge

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.

Laptop Direct Connect

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).

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 . This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).

Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be

used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve

the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code:

“abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by

scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.

These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-16). Otherwise, your

output may not be as expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

Control Character Output

This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is

expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252) on page A-3. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of the chart). Default = Off.

Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.

Keyboard Modifiers

This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.

Control + ASCII Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is

the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all key-

board country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 8-1 for

CTRL+ ASCII Values.

Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it

does not translate any prefix or suffix information.

Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual trigger resets the time-out.

When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction

on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the

RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code 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).

RS232 Handshaking

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device.

When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data flow control is used.

Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be

asserted by the host.

Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232

Timeout on page 2-21) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device

transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume. Default = RTS/CTS Off.

RS232 Timeout

When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host.

Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-5100 millisec-

onds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending

data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.

To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off

when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the

host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is

received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK

protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK

Off.

Scanner to Bioptic Communication

The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell scanners and bioptic scanners.

Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 timeout must be set to 3000 in order to communicate with

a bioptic scanner. See "RS232 Baud Rate" on page 2-18, and RS232 Timeout on page 2-21 for further information.

Scanner-Bioptic Packet Mode

Packet Mode On must be scanned to set the scanner’s format so it is compatible with a bioptic scanner. Default = Packet

Mode Off.

Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Mode

Bioptic ACK/Nak On must be scanned so the scanner will wait for an ACK or NAK from a bioptic scanner after each packet

is sent. The Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Timeout (below) controls how long the scanner will wait for a response. Default =

Bioptic ACK/NAK Off.

Cordless System Operation

Note: This chapter applies only to cordless scanning systems. It does not apply to corded scanners.

How the Cordless Charge Base/Access Point Works

A cordless charge base or an Access Point provide the link between the cordless scanner and the host system. The base/

Access Point contains an interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module performs the

data exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central inter-

face activities including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activities

(parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.

The cordless charge base is also a scanner’s battery charger. Refer to Charging Information, page 3-4, for additional informa-

tion.

Linking the Scanner to a Charge Base

Turn off power before connecting a base, then power up the computer once the base is fully connected. When the base is con-

nected and powered up, put the scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base flashes to indicate the scan-

ner’s battery is charging.

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, that one scanner is linked to one base.

To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the

scanner provides a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base. If you

receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base. Refer to page 12-4 for troubleshooting

information.

Linking the Scanner to an Access Point

Turn on the computer (laptop/desktop). Plug the interface cable into the Access Point first and

then into the appropriate port on the computer. The Page button lights up when the connection to

the host is made.

Scan the linking bar code on the top of the Access Point to establish a connection

between the Access Point and the scanner. The scanner emits a short beep and

flashes the green LED to confirm a connection with the Access Point. The Access

Point’s Page button remains blue.

Replacing a Linked Scanner

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base or an Access Point, scan the Override Locked Scanner

bar code below with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base, or scan the Access Point linking bar code. The locked

link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base or Access Point will be removed, and the new scanner will

be linked.

Communication Between the Cordless System

and the Host

The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication with a green LED on the scanner and

an audible beep. This indicates that the bar code has been scanned correctly and the base or Access Point has acknowledged

receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between the scanner and the

base or Access Point.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base or Access Point. The cordless scanner recognizes data

acknowledgement (ACK) from the base or Access Point. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the

base or Access Point, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by

the host system.

1. Scanner reads code and gets ACK from base or Access Point

2. Base or Access Point sends data to host

Override Locked Scanner

(Single Scanner)

3 - 3

Programming the Scanner and Base or Access Point

When using the scanner and charge base or Access Point together as a system, menu parameters and configuration settings

are stored in the charge base or Access Point. Therefore, when programming any menu configuration settings, the scanner

must be linked to the intended charge base or Access Point.

Note: This only applies when the scanner is linked to a charge base or Access Point. If the scanner is in a non-base mode,

configuration settings are stored in the scanner.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The cordless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the base or

Access Point. Designed for point-to-point and multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM

band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies,

makes the cordless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environ-

ments. The CCB01-010BT (Bluetooth Class 2) provides a communication range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and

base or Access Point, depending on the environment. See Flexible Power Management, page 3-12, for information about con-

trolling this range.

System Conditions

The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a scanner to a base or Access Point, as you

move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The following

information explains the cordless system operating conditions.

Linking Process

Once a scanner is placed into a cordless charge base, the scanner’s battery charge status is checked, and software auto-

matically detects the scanner and links it to the base depending on the selected link mode.

Refer to Linking the Scanner to an Access Point, page 3-1, for information about linking to an Access Point.

Scanner Is Out of Range

The cordless scanner is in communication with its base or Access Point, even when it is not transmitting bar code data.

Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the base or Access Point for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner

is out of range and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues an error tone indicating no communication with the base or

Access Point. A cordless charge base can also sound an alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm, page 3-10.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner relinks if the scanner or the base or Access Point have been reset, or the scanner comes back into range. If

the scanner relinks, you will hear a single chirp when the relinking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete.

Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm on page 3-10 for further information.

Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On

The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range

and then send them to the base or Access Point when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 3-13).

You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the

radio communication is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the

data is being transferred to the base or Access Point.

Page Button

When you press the Page button on the base or Access Point, the scanners associated with that base or Access Point will

begin beeping (3 short and 1 long beep). If you pull the trigger on a scanner that is beeping in response, or press the Page

button on the base or Access Point a second time, all associated scanners will stop beeping. See Paging on page 3-7 for

further information about Page Button settings.

About the Battery

There is a danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace the batteries with only the same or

equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle program for

batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be discarded.

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner handle. Batteries are

shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged. The battery should be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before initial use to

ensure optimal performance.

Charging Information

The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the cordless base unit. Refer to Base/Access Point

LED Sequences and Meaning, page 3-5, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators. Refer to Charge Only Mode

(page 3-9) if you need to charge a scanner without linking it to the base.

Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply. Use only a Listed Limited Power Source

(LPS) or Class 2 type power supply with output rated 5 to 5.2Vdc, 1A.

Note: If you are powering the base through the interface cable (for example, a USB cable) and not using an external power

supply plugged into the aux port, the current available for charging is reduced and charge times are increased.

Battery Recommendations

• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can also be charged without fully discharging,

without impacting the battery life. There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type of battery.

• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.

• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the scanner.

• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable

to hold an adequate charge.

• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized

service center for inspection. Refer to Customer Support on page 13-1 for additional information.

Caution:

Use only Honeywell Li-ion battery packs, model number BAT-SCN01, rated 3.7 Vdc, 7.4Whr in this device. Use

of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Batteries

• Do not place batteries in fire or heat the batteries.

• Do not store batteries near fire or other high temperature locations.

• Do not store or carry batteries together with metal objects.

• Do not expose batteries to water or allow the batteries to get wet.

• Do not connect (short) the positive and negative terminals, of the batteries, to each other with any metal object.

• Do not pierce, strike or step on batteries or subject batteries to strong impacts or shocks.

• Do not disassemble or modify batteries.

Caution:

Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle

program for batteries as directed by the governing agency for the country where the batteries are to be

discarded.

Proper Disposal of the Battery

When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified

recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with gen-

eral waste materials. You may send the scanner’s battery to us. (postage paid). The shipper is responsi-

ble for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling,

manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product Service Department (page 13-1) for

recycling or disposal information. Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant,

it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.

Beeper and LED Sequences and Meaning

The scanner contains LEDs on the rear of the unit that indicate linking status, decoding state, and battery condition. The base

has LEDs on the top of the unit that indicate its power up, communication, and battery charge condition. The red LED = error;

green LED = success of any type. Scanners and the CCB01-010BT base have audible indicators as well: 1 razz or error tone =

error; 2 beeps = menu change; 1 beep = all other successes.

The table below lists the indication and cause of the LED indication, beeps, and vibrations for the scanner.

Scanner LED Sequences and Meaning

Base/Access Point LED Sequences and Meaning

The base contains a red LED and the Access Point has a blue LED that indicate the status of the unit and verifies its com-

munication with the host system. The base also has a green LED that indicates scanner battery charge condition.

Base Power Communication Indicator

To display the power indicator on a base or an Access Point, scan the Base Power Communication Indicator On bar

code. To turn off the power indicator, scan the Off bar code. Default = On.

Reset Scanner

Scanning this bar code reboots the scanner and causes it to relink with the base or Access Point.

Scanning While in Base Cradle

If you want to be able to scan bar codes while the scanner is in the base cradle, scan the Scanning in Cradle On bar code

below. If you want to only allow scanning when the scanner is out of the base cradle, scan Scanning in Cradle Off. If you want

the scanner to shut down when in the base cradle, scan Shut Down Scanner in Cradle. Default = Scanning in Cradle On.

Base Charging Modes

When the base has both an external power supply (plugged into the auxiliary power port) and a host interface cable, it will draw

its power from the external power supply. When the base does not have an external power supply, it draws its power from the

interface cable. However, the scanner battery charges more slowly from a host interface cable than if auxiliary power were

available. Using the following selections, you can specify whether the scanner battery is charged from power supplied via the

host interface cable.

When Base Charge Off is selected, the scanner battery does not charge when the scanner is in the base cradle.

When External or Interface Cable Power is selected, the scanner battery charges from the base’s external power supply, if

there is one. If there is no external power supply to the base, the scanner battery charges from the interface cable.

When External Power Only is selected, the scanner battery only charges from the base’s external power supply. If there is no

external power supply, the scanner battery does not charge.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, External Power Only is the only setting available.

Paging

Paging Mode

By default, the paging button on the base or Access Point pages the scanners associated with that base or Access Point. If

you want the paging button on your base or Access Point to be disabled, scan the Paging Mode Off bar code, below.

When Paging Mode is off, the base or Access Point will no longer page scanners when the button is pressed. The red LED

on the base or blue LED on the Access Point will remain lit to indicate that Paging Mode is off. (This light will go out when

the button is pressed, then back on when it’s released.) Default = Paging Mode On.

Paging Pitch

When you press the Page button on the base or Access Point, the scanners associated with that base or Access Point will

begin beeping (see Page Button on page 3-3). You can set the pitch of the paging beep for each scanner by scanning one

of the following bar codes. Default = Low.

Error Indicators

Beeper Pitch - Base Error

The CCB01-010BT base can be configured to beep at a particular pitch when an error occurs, such as transmission prob-

lems to a host system. The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the error tone the base emits when there is

an error. Default = Low.

Number of Beeps - Base Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the CCB01-010BT base for an error condition can be programmed from

1 - 9. For example, if you program this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED flashes in

response to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code

and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 1.

Scanner Modes

Your scanner is capable of working in single scanner mode, multiple scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices other than the

charge base or Access Point.

Charge Only Mode

There may be times when you want to charge your scanner, but not link to the base. For example, if a scanner is linked to

an Access Point or other Bluetooth device and you need to charge the scanner, but want to retain your existing link.

In order to program the base for Charge Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it. Once the scanner is linked to the base,

scan the Charge Only Mode bar code. Any subsequent scanners placed in that base will charge without linking to it. The

scanner used to program the base remains linked to the base. To unlink this scanner, scan Unlink Scanner on page 3-10.

Note: When in Charge Only Mode, the scanner periodically wakes up and beeps. See "Power Up Beeper" on page 4-1 to

change this setting.

If you want to charge a scanner and link to the base, use Charge and Link Mode. If the base is programmed for Charge

Only Mode, you must link a scanner to it first in order to program it for Charge and Link Mode. Scan the linking bar code on

the base to link the scanner, then scan Charge and Link Mode. Default = Charge and Link Mode.

Linked Modes

Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode are the link modes that accommodate different applications. 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 = Open Link Mode.

Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner

If you link a scanner to a base or an Access Point using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being

linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base, or if the Access Point linking bar code is scanned. If you do place

a different scanner into a base, it will charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.

To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See

Scanner Modes, page 3-9.)

Open Link Mode - Single Scanner

When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, a scanner is not linked to a base or an Access Point. A link is

established when the scanner is placed into a base, or an Access Point linking bar code is scanned. When in Open

Link Mode, a new link is established when a new scanner is placed in the base, or you scan an Access Point linking bar

code. Each time a scanner is placed into a base or scans an Access Point linking bar code, the scanner becomes

linked to the base or Access point and the old scanner is unlinked.

Unlinking the Scanner

If a base or an Access Point has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new scanner can be linked.

Once the previous scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base or Access Point. To unlink the scanner from

a base or an Access Point, scan the Unlink Scanner bar code below.

Override Locked Scanner

If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base or an Access Point, scan the Override Locked

Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base, or scan the Access Point linking bar code.

The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base or Access Point will be removed, and the

new scanner will be linked.

Out-of-Range Alarm

If your scanner is out range of the base, an alarm sounds from both your base and scanner. If your scanner is out range of an

Access Point, an alarm sounds from just the scanner. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer to the base or Access

Point, when the base or Access Point connects to another scanner, or when the alarm duration expires. To activate the alarm

options for the scanner or the base and to set the alarm duration, scan the appropriate bar code below and then set the time-out

duration (from 0-3000 seconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save.

Default = 0 sec (no alarm).

Note: If you are out of range when you scan a bar code, you will receive an error tone even if you do not have the alarm set.

You receive the error tone since the data could not be communicated to the base or Access Point or the host.

Alarm Sound Type

You may change the alarm type for the scanner or a CCB01-010BT 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.

Default = 0.

The sounds are as follows:

Scanner Power Time-Out Timer

Note: Scanner Power Time-out Timer only applies to cordless systems. It does not apply to corded scanners.

When there is no activity within a specified time period, the scanner enters low power mode. Scan the appropriate scanner

power time-out bar code to change the time-out duration (in seconds).

Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.

Note: The Access Point does not have a base alarm.

If there are no trigger pulls during the timer interval, the scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled,

the timer is reset. If the scanner is placed in the charge base cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the

scanner will not go into power down mode. Default = 3600 seconds.

Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to power the unit back up. There will be a set of power up beeps

and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The scanner will then be ready to use.

Flexible Power Management

If you are experiencing network performance issues, and suspect the scanner is interfering with other devices, you can turn

down the power output of the scanner. This reduces the range between the scanner and a base or an Access Point as shown

in the following illustration:

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the scanner’s power output to Full Power (100%), Medium Power (35%), Medium Low

Power (5%), or Low Power (1%). Default = Full Power.

Batch Mode

Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its base or Access Point, or when performing

inventory. The data is transmitted to the base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range or when the records are man-

ually transmitted.

Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners to one base or Access Point. If a cordless system is being used

in "multiple link mode," where up to 7 scanners are to be connected to one base or Access Point, some accumulated or

batched scans could be lost if scanners are constantly being moved in and out of range.

Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of the base or Access Point. The data is auto-

matically transmitted to the base or Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is full,

any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the scanner must be moved back into range

of the base or Access Point so data can be transmitted.

Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the base or Access Point. To transmit the

stored data to the base or Access Point, either place the scanner in the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-17).

When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the

data must be transmitted to the base or Access Point. Once the data is transmitted, it is cleared in the scanner.

Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the data is transmitted to the base or Access

Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear the

scanner’s buffer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 3-17).

Default = Batch Mode Off.

Batch Mode Beep

When scanning in Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-14), the scanner beeps every time a bar code is scanned. When Batch

Mode Beep is On, you will also hear a click when each bar code is sent to the host. If you do not want to hear these clicks,

scan Batch Mode Beep Off. Default = Batch Mode Beep On.

Batch Mode Storage

When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can select whether the data is stored in Flash memory

or in RAM.

Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to powering down. The data will still be

there when the scanner powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches

a power down timeout or if the battery power is very low.

RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has not been transmitted to the base or Access

Point, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if the scanner runs out of battery power, it will power down and

the data will be lost.

Default = Flash Storage.

Batch Mode Quantity

When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple bar codes scanned, rather than a single bar code

multiple times. For example, if you scan three bar codes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit

your data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the Quantity Codes (page 3-16), you

could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.

Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the bar code data and the quantity, refer

to Data Formatting beginning on page 6-1.

Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.

Entering Quantities

Quantity Codes (page 3-16) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned, up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits

are shifted from right to left, so if a 5th digit is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits

are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.

For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been set to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quan-

tity will be 2345.

Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.

1. Scan the item's bar code.

2. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.

1. Scan the item's bar code.

2. Scan the quantity 1 bar code.

3. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.

4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.

5. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.

Example: Change a quantity of 103 to 10.

To correct an incorrect quantity, scan the quantity 0 bar code to replace the incorrect digits, then scan the correct quantity

bar codes.

1. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 1030.

2. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0300.

3. Scan the quantity 1 bar code to change the quantity to 3001.

4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0010.

Default = 1.

If you want to clear the scanner’s buffer of all data accumulated in Batch Mode, scan Clear All Codes.

Transmit Records to Host

If you are operating in Inventory Batch Mode (see Inventory Batch Mode on page 3-14), you must scan the following bar

code to transmit all the stored data to the host system.

Batch Mode Transmit Delay

Sometimes when accumulated scans are sent to the host system, the transmission of those scans is too fast for the appli-

cation to process. To program a transmit delay between accumulated scans, scan one of the following delays. Default =

Off.

Note: In most cases, a short (250 ms (milliseconds)) delay is ideal, however, longer delays may be programmed. Contact

Technical Support (page 13-1) for additional information.

Multiple Scanner Operation

Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one base or Access Point. You cannot join an

8th scanner until you unlink one of the 7 scanners or take a scanner out of range.

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 or Access Point and must either be placed into the base, or you must scan the Access Point linking bar code in

order to relink.

Scanner Name

You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes. For example, you may want to have a unique

identifier for a scanner that is receiving imaging commands sent from the base or Access Point.

The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you have more than one scanner linked to a

base, and they all have the same name, the first scanner linked to the base receives commands. When renaming a series of

scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the base.

Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 3-19, or by sending the serial command :Scanner-

Name:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the

scanner. If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and repeat the :ScannerName:BT_N-

AMNewName. command for each scanner.

To rename scanners with sequential, numeric names, scan the bar codes below. Scan the Reset code after each name change

and wait for the scanner to relink to the base or Access Point before scanning a bar code to rename the next scanner.

You may also scan the Scanner Name bar code below and scan a number for the scanner name. For example, if you wanted to

name the linked scanner “312,” you would scan the bar code below, scan the 3, 1, and 2 bar codes on the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save. Scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to relink to the base.

Application Work Groups

Your cordless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one base or Access Point. You can also have up to 7 work groups. If

you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than 1 work group. If you want

each scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each scanner to

its own unique work group and may program each scanner independently. For example, you might want to have multiple work

groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need to have different data appended to bar codes used in the warehouse

area versus the retail area. You could assign all the scanners in the retail area to one work group and those in the warehouse to

another. Consequently, any desired changes to either the retail or warehouse area would apply to all scanners in that particular

work group. Honeywell’s online configuration tool, EZConfig-Scanning (page 9-2), makes it easy for you to program your sys-

tem for use with multiple scanners and multiple work groups.

The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner is connected or reconnected to a base or an

Access Point, the scanner is updated with the latest settings from the base or Access Point for its work group. The scanner also

receives menu setting changes processed by the base or Access Point. If a scanner is removed from a base or an Access Point

and placed into another base or linked to another Access Point, it will be updated with the new base/Access Point settings for

whatever work group to which that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work group 1 linked

to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second base with the associated settings.

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. Default = Group 0.

Resetting the Factory Defaults: All Application Work Groups

The following bar code defaults all of the work groups to the factory default settings.

To see what the factory default settings are, refer to the table of Menu Commands, beginning on page 10-3. The standard prod-

uct default settings for each of the commands are indicated by an asterisk (*).

Note: Scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform a reset and become

unlinked. The scanner must be placed in the base, or the Access Point linking bar code must be scanned to re-establish

the link. Refer to Scanner Modes, page 3-9 for additional information.

If your scanner is in multiple scanner mode, you will hear up to 30 seconds of beeping while all scanners are relinked to

the base or Access Point and the settings are changed.

Using the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices

The scanner can be used either with the charge base, an Access Point, or with other Bluetooth devices. Those devices include

personal computers, laptops, PDAs, and Honeywell mobility systems devices.

Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect

Your scanner can be paired with Bluetooth-capable devices, such as iPads, smart phones, and laptops, so that scanned

data appears on your device screen as though it was entered on the keyboard. In order to pair with the Bluetooth device:

1. Scan the Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect bar code below.

2. Set the Bluetooth-capable host device so it searches for other Bluetooth devices. (Refer to your device’s User’s Guide

for pairing instructions.)

3. Once your host device has located the scanner, select the scanner name. The host generates and displays a random

PIN that must be scanned within 60 seconds. You must quickly scan Bluetooth PIN Code, then the numbers below,

then Save.

Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect

If your scanner has been connected directly to an iPad, smart phone, or laptop using Bluetooth HID Keyboard Connect

(page 3-21), you must disconnect it in order to once again communicate with the base or Access Point. Scan the Blue-

tooth HID Keyboard Disconnect bar code to unlink the scanner from the currently linked host. Scan the linking bar code

on the base or Access Point to relink the scanner.

Bluetooth Serial Port - PCs/Laptops

Scanning the Non-Base BT Connection bar code below allows the scanner to be used with other Bluetooth devices (e.g.,

PC/laptop). When in this mode, the scanner behaves like an RS-232 serial device, and you will need to open a COM port

on the host to read scanned data.

After you scan the bar code below, follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the scanner and

connect to it. If you go out of range with your scanner, the scanner will not reconnect to the Bluetooth device when it is back

in range. If you want to relink to the charge base or Access Point, refer to Override Locked Scanner, page 3-10.

Note: The multiple work groups option is not available when you are using the scanner with Bluetooth devices other than

the charge base or Access Point.

PDAs/Mobility Systems Devices

You may also use the scanner with a PDA or a Honeywell Mobility Systems device. Scan the bar code below and follow the

instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the scanner, and connect with it.

Changing the Scanner’s Bluetooth PIN Code

Some devices require a PIN code as part of the Bluetooth security features. Your scanner’s default PIN is 1234, which you

may need to enter the first time you connect to your PDA or PC. The PIN code must be between 1 and 16 characters. To

change the PIN, scan the bar code below and then scan the appropriate numeric bar codes from the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual. Scan Save to save your selection.

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network Activity

The settings described below can help you customize the relinking behavior of the cordless area-imaging system to obtain the

best compromise between convenience and low interference.

Auto Reconnect Mode

Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the scanner automatically begins the relink process when a loss of connection is

detected. When the Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the scanner begins the relink process immediately, without

user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.

Note: If you are connecting to a Bluetooth Interface Module, set Auto Reconnect to Off.

The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Maximum Link Attempts

The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a base or an

Access Point. During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a base or

an Access Point. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the

number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will

not attempt to reconnect to a base or an Access Point. Pressing the trigger, scanning an Access Point linking bar code, or

placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.

Event Auto Reconnect On Auto Reconnect Off

Scanner out of range Relink occurs automatically. If maximum

number of link attempts is unsuccessful,

then the scanner must be relinked by

either pulling the trigger, placing the

Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a base or an Access Point

typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out con-

trols the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.

Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to a base unit or Access Point. An

extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.

Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back

cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples

Default values

When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to connect to the base unit or Access Point. Each

attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the scanner

powers off and batch mode data is lost.

Maximum Link Attempts set to 15

Other values at default setting

When the scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit or Access Point. Each attempt consists

of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 min-

utes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but retains any bar codes that may have been saved

in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.

Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0

Maximum Link Attempts set to 15

Other values at default setting

When the scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to relink. When the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link

to the base or Access Point. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle

time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the scanner stops trying to connect to the base or Access Point, but

retains any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the scanner powers off and batch mode

data is lost. Refer to Auto Reconnect Mode, page 3-24, to review other events that can start the relink process.

Host Acknowledgment

Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming bar code data (database look-up) and provide

acknowledgment to the scanner whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgment after

each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is

controlled via a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different ways.

Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.

The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:

• The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).

• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.

• Host ACK must be set to On (page 3-27).

• A comma must be used as a terminator.

• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, make decisions based on the data content, and

send out appropriate escape commands to the scanner.

Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via “Application Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all scanners in a

group respond to that command. Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own group in

Host ACK mode.

The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 3-27. The [ESC] is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is

y [ESC] x, where “y” is the application work group number, “[ESC] x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator,

which is required. (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default Application Work Group 0.)

Example: Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An example of a command string is listed

below.

0[ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,

The above example will make a scanner that is in application work group zero beep low, then medium, then high.

Example: A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required if the item is not on file. In this

case,

[ESC]7, is sent to the host for an on-file product

[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent to the host for a not-on-file product

When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout

expires (in 10 seconds, by default).

Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a bar code is scanned:

• The scanner reads the code and sends data to the base or Access Point to transmit to the host system. No audible or visual

indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a

successful read.

• Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system or 2) the scanner times out.

• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, and the process repeats.

A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an

error tone. If a time-out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was

not received.

Input/Output Settings

Power Up Beeper

The scanner can be programmed to beep when it’s powered up. If you are using a cordless system, the base can also be pro-

grammed to beep when it is powered up. Scan the Off bar code(s) if you don’t want a power up beep. Default = Power Up

Beeper On - Scanner.

Beep on BEL Character

You may wish to force the scanner to beep upon a command sent from the host. If you scan the Beep on BEL On bar code

below, the scanner will beep every time a BEL character is received from the host. Default = Beep on BEL Off.

Trigger Click

To hear an audible click every time the scanner trigger is pressed, scan the Trigger Click On bar code below. Scan the Trigger

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. To

change the number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar code on the

Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 1.

Number of Beeps – Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the scanner for a bad read or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For

example, if you program this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED flashes in response

to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the

Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 1.

Good Read Delay

This sets the minimum amount of time before the scanner can read another bar code. Default = 0 ms (No Delay).

User-Specified Good Read Delay

If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milli-

seconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Manual Trigger Mode

When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. Default = Manual Trig-

ger-Normal.

LED Illumination - Manual Trigger

If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below. This sets the LED illumination for the

scanner when the trigger is pressed. Default = High.

Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera. The lower the ambient light in the room, the brighter the LEDs need to be so

the scanner can “see” the bar codes.

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page

10-3). When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The

scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the

scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-

ger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by

scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LED dims until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the

LED brightens to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Note: If you are using a cordless charge base in Presentation Mode, the battery will not charge unless the power supply is

plugged into the base’s auxiliary power port.

Scan the following bar code to program your scanner for Presentation Mode.

Idle Illumination - Presentation Mode

Scan one of the bar codes below to set the LED illumination for the scanner when it is in an idle state in Presentation Mode.

Default = High.

Note: If you use one of the lower Idle Illumination settings, and there is not enough ambient light, the scanner may have

difficulty detecting when a bar code is presented to it. If the scanner has difficulty “waking up” to read bar codes, you

may need to set the Idle Illumination to a brighter setting.

Presentation Sensitivity

Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presenta-

tion. 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.

Presentation Centering

Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in the stand to make sure the scanner reads

only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation Center-

ing will insure that only the desired codes are read.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is hand-held, see Centering (page 4-14).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Center-

ing is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering

window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window,

Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.

pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely

through the centering window.

Scan Presentation 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 Presentation Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.

In-Stand Sensor Mode

This feature senses when the scanner is removed from the stand and tells it to begin manual triggering. When Sensor On is

enabled, the scanner defaults to Presentation Mode when it is in the stand, and to Manual Trigger Mode when it is removed from

the stand. Default = Sensor On.

Poor Quality Codes

Poor Quality 1D Codes

This setting improves the scanner’s ability to read damaged or badly printed linear bar codes. When Poor Quality 1D

Reading On is scanned, poor quality linear bar code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snappiness is decreased, mak-

ing it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 2D bar code reading. Default =

Poor Quality 1D Reading Off.

Poor Quality PDF Codes

This setting improves the scanner’s ability to read damaged or badly printed PDF codes by combining information from mul-

tiple images. When Poor Quality PDF On is scanned, poor quality PDF code reading is improved, but the scanner’s snap-

piness is decreased, making it less aggressive when reading good quality bar codes. This setting does not affect 1D bar

code reading. Default = Poor Quality PDF Reading Off.

CodeGate®

When CodeGate is On, the trigger is used to allow decoded data to be transmitted to the host system. The scanner remains on,

scanning and decoding bar codes, but the bar code data is not transmitted until the trigger is pressed. When CodeGate is Off,

bar code data is transmitted when it is decoded. Default = CodeGate Off Out-of-Stand.

Mobile Phone Read Mode

When this mode is selected, your scanner is optimized to read bar codes from mobile phone or other LED displays. However,

the speed of scanning printed bar codes may be slightly lower when this mode is enabled.

Note: To turn off Mobil Phone Read Mode, scan the Manual Trigger Mode bar code (see page 4-5).

Hands Free Time-Out

The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pressed 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

presses) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the scanner 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. Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode (see page 4-

6). Default = Medium.

User-Specified Reread Delay

If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds)

by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

2D Reread Delay

Sometimes 2D bar codes can take longer to read than other bar codes. If you wish to set a separate Reread Delay for 2D

bar codes, scan one of the programming codes that follows. 2D Reread Delay Off indicates that the time set for Reread

Delay is used for both 1D and 2D bar codes. Default = 2D Reread Delay Off.

Character Activation Mode

You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning. When the activation character is received,

the scanner continues scanning until either the Character Activation Laser Timeout (page 4-12), the deactivation character is

received (see Deactivation Character on page 4-12), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use char-

acter activation, then use Activation Character (following) to select the character you will send from the host to start scanning.

Default = Off.

Activation Character

This sets the character used to trigger scanning when using Character Activation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart

(Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan

the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII

character. Scan Save to finish.

End Character Activation After Good Read

After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the laser can be programmed either to remain on and

scanning, or to turn off. When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the laser turns off and stops scan-

ning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the laser remains on after a good

read. Default = End Character Activation After Good Read.

Character Activation Laser Timeout

You can set a timeout for the length of time the laser remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when using Character

Activation Mode. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting the timeout

(from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5000 ms.

Character Deactivation Mode

If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, you can also send a deactivation character

to stop scanning. Scan the following On bar code to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character (following) to

select the character you will send from the host to terminate scanning. Default = Off.

Deactivation Character

This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion

Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning.

Illumination Lights

If you want the illumination lights on while reading a bar code, scan the Lights On bar code, below. However, if you want to turn

just the lights off, scan the Lights Off bar code. Default = Lights On.

Note: This setting does not affect the aimer light. The aiming light can be set using Aimer Mode (below).

Aimer Delay

The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the

time between when the trigger is pulled and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but

the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over. Default = Off.

User-Specified Aimer Delay

If you want to set your own length for the duration of the delay, scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning

digits (0 - 4,000 ms) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save.

Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar

codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the

desired codes are read.

Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation Centering (page 4-6).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by

scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of

Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top,

and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through

the centering window, so it will not be read.

Note: A bar code needs only to be touched by the centering window in order to be read. It does not need to pass completely

through the centering window.

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.

Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an

example of this type of bar code. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video Reverse and Stan-

dard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.

Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video

Reverse and Standard Bar Codes in order to read menu bar codes.

Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for decoding only.

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 scanner.

Default = Upright.

Data Editing

Prefix/Suffix Overview

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar

code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the

user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should

be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message

string:

Points to Keep In Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default

settings. Default prefix = None. Default suffix = None.

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3, plus Code

I.D. and AIM I.D.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.

• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an

added prefix or suffix character.

• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-2).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page

A-1) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and

Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all

symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3, for the prefix

or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.

To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.

To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.

Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create

the backslash itself.

Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.

Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. This corresponds with the hex value

for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3.

Step 4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and

suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology.

When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page

A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function

code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 8-2. When the

scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays

Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage

delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each

character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the

Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code

using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.

User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) 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 5ms delays, and the Save

bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value for a printable character to trigger the delay

(see Lower ASCII Reference Table on page A-4).

To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code using

the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Interfunction Delay

An interfunction delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) 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 5ms delays, and

the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

To remove this delay, scan the Interfunction Delay bar code, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code

using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Intermessage Delay

An intermessage delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between each scan transmission.

Scan the Intermessage Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the

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.

Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however when you create a format, you must use a “send”

command (see Send Commands on page 6-3) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the

following list presents the order in which formats are applied:

1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length

6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length

8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length

The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data

Format code below.

Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 6-2).

Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4

different data formats. To program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of

this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you are

programming. (See "Primary/Alternate Data Formats" on page 6-9 for further information.)

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 6-3) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes

on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0

3 for an AT wedge.

Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate

the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of

this manual.

Note: If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length

* Default Data Format

6 - 2

from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a

universal number, indicating all lengths.)

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 6-3). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter.

Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving your changes.

Other Programming Selections

Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming

Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the

format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D. (see Symbology Charts on page A-1), and the bar code

data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.

Clear all Data Formats

This clears all data formats.

emulation.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied

to your data format:

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.

Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix

Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not

match your data format requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not transmitted.

Default = Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix.

Primary/Alternate Data Formats

You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your primary data format is saved under 0. Your other

three formats are saved under 1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar codes below.

Symbologies

This programming section contains the following menu selections. Refer to Chapter 10 for settings and defaults.

All Symbologies

If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, 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 sym-

bology.

Note: When All Symbologies On is scanned, 2D Postal Codes are not enabled. 2D Postal Codes must be enabled separately.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code

doesn’t match the valid reading length, the scanner will issue an error tone. 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.

cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective 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.

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.

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 and Transmit, the scanner will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check

character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.

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.

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. In this case the two messages are concatenated

into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Select Require to prevent the scanner from decoding a single “D” Codabar symbol without its companion. This selection

has no effect on Codabar symbols without Stop/Start D characters.

Codabar Message Length

Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length Description (page 7-1) for additional

information. Minimum and Maximum lengths = 2-60. Minimum Default = 4, Maximum Default = 60.

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 the scanner encounters a Code 39 bar code with the append trigger character(s), it buffers Code

39 bar codes until it reads a Code 39 bar code that does not have the append trigger. The data is then transmitted in the

order in which the bar codes were read (FIFO). Default = 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.

Character pairs /M and /N decode as a minus sign and period respectively.

Character pairs /P through /Y decode as 0 through 9.

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. If this is the case, scan the bar code below, select the code page with which the bar codes were

created (see ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements on page A-7), and scan the value and the Save bar code from

the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual. The data characters should then appear properly.

Code 93 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 93 bar codes together before transmitting them to

the host computer. When this function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 93 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. The scanner transmits the appended data when

it reads a Code 93 bar code that starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

Code 93 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. If this is the case, scan the bar code below, select the code page with which the bar codes were

created (see ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements on page A-7), and scan the value and the Save bar code from

the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual. The data characters should then appear properly.

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard for communicating critical blood informa-

describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128 due to

its high degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation of neigh-

boring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product label. Use the bar codes below to turn concat-

enation on or off. Default =Off.

Code 128 Append

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 128 bar codes together before transmitting them to

the host computer. When the scanner encounters a Code 128 bar code with the append trigger character(s), it buffers

Code 128 bar codes until it reads a Code 128 bar code that does not have the append trigger. The data is then transmitted

in the order in which the bar codes were read (FIFO). Default = On.

Code 128 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

GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recog-

nize one data carrier type.)

If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID

is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If GS1 DataBar Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM

ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-DataBar AIM ID, ]em (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

If GS1 Code Expansion Off is scanned, retail code expansion is disabled, and UPC-E expansion is controlled by the UPC-E0

Expand (page 7-20) setting. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on

Test Menu

When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this manual, the scanner 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 scanner operation.

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction

EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on a scanner connected

to your PC's COM port. EZConfig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware, change programmed

parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the program-

ming parameters for a scanner. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single bar code that contains all

the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the

bar code to load in the customized programming.

To communicate with a scanner, EZConfig-Scanning requires that the PC have at least one available serial communication port,

or a serial port emulation using a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS232 cable, an external power supply

is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a USB cable is required.

EZConfig-Scanning Operations

The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:

Scan Data

Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial

commands to the scanner and receive scanner response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-

played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.

Configure

Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the scanner. The scanner's programming and configu-

ration data is grouped into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree

node in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the

parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and con-

figuration parameters specified for a scanner. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write

the modified settings to the scanner, or save them to a dcf file.

Installing EZConfig-Scanning from the Web

Note: EZConfig-Scanning requires .NET software. If .NET is not installed on your PC, you will be prompted to install it

during the EZConfig-Scanning installation.

1. Access the Honeywell web site at www.honeywellaidc.com.

2. Click on the Resources tab. Select Software.

3. Click on the dropdown for Select Product Number. Click on your product number.

4. Click on the listing for EZConfig-Scanning.

* Off

9 - 3

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.

8. Double click on the Setup.exe file. Follow the screen prompts to install the EZConfig-Scanning program.

9. If you’ve selected the defaults during installation, you can click on Start Menu-All Programs-Honeywell-EZConfig-

Scanning.

Resetting the Factory Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scan-

ner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the

scanner to the factory default settings.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Activate Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access

Point to perform a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any

setup codes are entered. If using an Access Point, the linking bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System

Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 10-3 list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an aster-

isk (*) on the programming pages).

This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.

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 scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming com-

mand, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.

The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1). The following commands can be sent via a PC COM port using

terminal emulation software.

Conventions

The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:

parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.

[option] An optional part of a command.

{Data} Alternatives in a command.

bold Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.

Menu Command Syntax

Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only):

Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage

Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).

:Name: This command is only used with cordless devices. It is used to specify whether you’re communicating with the base or

the scanner. To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host), use :Voyager_1452g: The default

factory setting for a Voyager 1452g scanner is Voyager_1452 scanner. This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM

command, which accepts alphanumeric values. If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.

Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once they are linked, changes are typically

done to the base and not to the scanner.

Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group. For example, all RS232

configuration settings are identified with a Tag of 232.

SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command within the tag group. For example, the

SubTag for the RS232 baud rate is BAD.

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.

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.)

:Name: Field Usage (Optional)

This command returns the query information from the scanner.

Tag Field Usage

When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of commands available for the particular

storage table indicated by the Storage field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used

because they are ignored by the device.

10 - 2

SubTag Field Usage

When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the

Tag field. In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.

Data Field Usage

When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the specific command identified by the Tag and

SubTag fields.

Concatenation of Multiple Commands

Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be

repeated for each command in the sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new

command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional command are

issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous commands by a

semicolon (;).

Responses

The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:

ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.

ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag

combination, e.g., an entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.

When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status character inserted directly before each

of the punctuation marks (the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

Examples of Query Commands

In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response.

Example: 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: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter: cbrena^.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]

This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is 1, or on.

Example: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter: cbrena?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]

This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on.

Example: 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].

10 - 3

This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on;

the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;

the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;

concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;

the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;

the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;

and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

Trigger Commands

You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger

Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger Mode bar code (page 4-5), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering (page 4-5).

Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:

Activate: SYN T CR

Deactivate: SYN U CR

The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been

reached (see "Read Time-Out" on page 4-7 for a description, and the serial command on page 10-11).

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This

resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default

settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access Point to perform

a reset and become unlinked. The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link. If using an Access Point,

the linking bar code must be scanned. See Cordless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

The charts on the following pages list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the

programming pages).
