About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Xenon™ 1900 and 1910 corded area-imaging
scanners, the Xenon 1902 and 1912 cordless area-imaging scanners, the Granit 1910i and 1980i corded industrial scanners,
and the Granit 1911i and 1981i cordless industrial scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer sup-
port information are also included.
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.
Unpacking Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps:
• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton.
• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
Connecting the Device
Connecting with USB
A scanner or a cordless base can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer.

3. If you are connecting a CCB01-010BT Base, make sure the cables are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the
cordless base and the base sits flat on a horizontal surface. If you are connecting a CCB02-100BT Base, see Mounting
a CCB02-100BT Base on page 1-8.
4. The scanner beeps.
5. Verify the scanner or cordless base operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this
manual.
The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 2-3 for other USB terminal settings.
For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to “USB Application Note,” available at www.honey-
wellaidc.com.
Connecting with Keyboard Wedge
A scanner or cordless base can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” where the scanner
provides data output that is similar to keyboard entries.
Note: The Granit 1980i does not support the keyboard wedge interface.
The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the terminal/computer.

Mounting a CCB01-010BT Charge Base
Mounting a CCB02-100BT Base
The CCB02-100BT Base can be mounted on either a horizontal or vertical surface. The cables can be routed through either the
top or the bottom of the base.
The cables can be routed down through the bottom of the base, securing the cables in the wireways.
The cables can also be routed up through the top of the base, crossing them over and securing the cables in the wireways.
When routing the cables up through the top of the base, be sure to cross the cables over before placing in the wireways. If not,
too much strain is placed on the cable connectors.

Reading Techniques
Xenon 1900/1902/1910/1912 and Granit 1910i/1911i
The Xenon 1900/1902 scanners have a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to the scan-
ner’s horizontal field of view. The Xenon 1910/1912 and Granit 1910i/1911i scanners have an aiming pattern. The aiming
beam or pattern 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.
Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele-
ments (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, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam or pattern on the sym-
bol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to pre-
vent unwanted reflection.

Granit 1980i/1981i
The Granit 1980i/1981i scanners have a laser aimer and the lighting from the red LEDs to use for aiming at a bar code.
These are used differently depending on if you are scanning at a near distance (< 11.8 inches / 30 cm) or far distance (up
to 50 feet / 15.2 meters). When scanning at a near distance use the red lighting and center the box over the bar code. The
laser aimer will be to the right of the center of the bar code. When scanning at a far distance use the laser aimer and aim at
the center of the bar code. When scanning at far distances you may not be able to see the red lighting. For both near dis-
tance and far distance scanning the red box and aimer can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
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 Technical Assistance on page 14-1) 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.

Save Custom Defaults
Preliminary draft_1
1 - 12
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.

Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.
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 2-15). 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 + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.
Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.
Control + X (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 sup-
port all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page
9-1 for CTRL+ X Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it
does not translate prefix or suffix information.
Default = Control + X Mode Off.

RS232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity
Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0
through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications that require use of the full ASCII set,
select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.
Default = None.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial 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 trans-
action 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 man-
ual, 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.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS
when it is OK for the device to transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232
Timeout on page 2-20) 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 Modifiers" on page 2-18, and RS232 Timeout on page 2-20 for further information.

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.
Scanner-Bioptic ACK/NAK Timeout
This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for a bioptic scanner’s ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar
code below, then set the timeout (from 1-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning
Save. Default = 5100.

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 using
a Granit scanner, the scanner also vibrates. If you receive an error tone and the red LED lights, the scanner has not linked to
the base. Refer to page 13-4 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. If using a Granit scanner, the scanner also vibrates. This indicates that the bar code has been scanned cor-
rectly 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.

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. The CCB02-100BT (Bluetooth Class 1) provides a communication range
of 330 feet (100m) between the scanner and base or Access Point, depending on the environment. See Flexible Power
Management, page 3-12, for information about controlling 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 14-1 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 respon-
sible 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 14-1) 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-

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
Note: This feature only applies to the CCB01-010BT base.
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 (for
CCB01-010BT).
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.

Error Indicators
Beeper Pitch - Base Error
Note: This feature only applies to the CCB01-010BT base.
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
Note: This feature only applies to the CCB01-010BT base.
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 Report

Base or Access Point Address
Scan the bar code below to determine the address of the base or Access Point you are using.
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:

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.
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.
Note: Setting a Granit scanner to anything lower than Full Power changes it to Class II Bluetooth.
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).

Batch Mode Beep
When scanning in Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-14), the scanner beeps every time a bar code is scanned. If using a
Granit scanner, it also vibrates. 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.

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

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 10-2), 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 11-4. 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.

below. (If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the work groups to the factory defaults.) See "Setting Custom Defaults" on
page 1-11 for further information about custom defaults.
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 its 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

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
scanner in the base, or scanning the
Access Point linking bar code. (See
"Maximum Link Attempts" on page 3-24.)
The scanner is relinked by pulling the
trigger, or scanning the Access Point
linking bar code.

Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside
back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until
the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 3-11) expires. When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum
Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a trigger pull.
Relink Time-Out
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
acknowledgement to the scanner whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgement
after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgements provide valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK func-
tionality 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.

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

Manual Trigger Modes
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. Two modes are avail-
able, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field).
Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is
best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range. Default = Manual Trigger-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 Medium setting is not available on Granit devices.

Serial Trigger Mode
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page
11-3). 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 and scanner illumination to detect bar codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs
remain dim until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the aimer turns on and the LEDs turn up 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.

for a manual trigger. See "LED Illumination - Manual Trigger" on page 4-6.) 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.
Note: LED Illumination - Presentation Mode does not apply to Streaming Presentation™ Mode or Mobile Phone Read

Presentation LED Behavior after Decode
When a scanner is in presentation mode, the LEDs dim 30 seconds after a bar code is decoded. If you wish to dim the
LEDs immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off bar code, below. Default = LEDs On.
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 4-16).

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.
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 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

In-Stand Sensor Mode
Note: The In-Stand Sensor feature only applies to Xenon products.
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 Streaming Presentation Mode when it is in the stand, and to Manual Trigger Mode when it is
removed from the stand. Default = Sensor On.
Note: If you are taking images (see Imaging Commands beginning on page 8-1), you must set the In-Stand Sensor to Off.
You may program a Streaming Presentation Mode (Normal, Enhanced, or Mobile Phone) you wish to use for in-stand scanning,
and a Manual Trigger mode (Normal, Enhanced, or Mobile Phone) you wish to use for out-of-stand scanning. To do this, you
must first scan the preferred Streaming Presentation mode (see below), then scan the Manual Trigger mode (see page 4-6 and
page 4-11) you want to use.
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.

the time to continuously search for bar codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good
scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but
slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require
a long working range.
When using Preferred Symbology (page 4-18), a lower priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read in
Streaming Presentation Mode.
Note: If you are using a cordless charge base, it must have an external power supply plugged into the aux port for Streaming
Presentation to work properly.
Streaming Presentation In-Stand Programming
This option is available when using In-Stand Sensor Mode, page 4-10. You may program a specific Streaming Presenta-
tion Mode for in-stand scanning, and a Manual Trigger mode for out-of-stand scanning. To do this, you must first scan the
preferred Streaming Presentation mode (Normal, Enhanced, or Mobile Phone), then scan the Manual Trigger mode (Nor-
mal, Enhanced, or Mobile Phone) you want to use.
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. You can enable Mobile Phone Read-
ing for either a hand held device, or for a hands-free (presentation) application.
Note: To turn off Mobil Phone Read Mode, scan a Manual or Serial Trigger Mode bar code (see page 4-6).

Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a
hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner should remain in manual trig-
ger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls)
the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back
cover, and Save. Default = 5,000 ms.
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 a Presentation Mode (see page
4-7). 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 millisec-
onds) 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 Timeout (page 4-14), the deactivation character is received
(see Deactivation Character on page 4-15), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use character acti-
vation, 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. Default = 12 [DC2].
End Character Activation After Good Read
After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the illumination can be programmed either to remain
on and scanning, or to turn off. When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the illumination turns off
and stops scanning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the illumination
remains on after a good read. Default = Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read.
Character Activation Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the illumination 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 1-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 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.
Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanu-
meric combination that represents that ASCII character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 14 [DC4].
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 (page 4-16).
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.
Aimer Mode
This feature allows you to turn the aimer on and off. When the Interlaced bar code is scanned, the aimer is interlaced with the
illumination LEDs. Default = Interlaced.
Centering
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. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer Delay, page 4-15, for the most error-free operation
in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the scanner
can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code scanners.)
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in the stand, see Presentation Centering (page 4-8).
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.

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both
bar code symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code
on a drivers license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Sym-
bology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority
symbology is presented, the scanner ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 4-19) while
it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read imme-
diately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner will read any bar code in its view (low priority
or unspecified). If there is no bar code in the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.
Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.
High Priority Symbology
To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on
page A-1, find the symbology you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit
hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Scan Save to save your selection. Default = None
Low Priority Symbology
To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on page
A-1, find the symbology you want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex
value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).

If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
for the next symbology. You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to save your selection. Default =
None.
Preferred Symbology Time-out
Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low priority symbologies, you must set the time-out
period. This is the period of time the scanner will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority bar code has been
encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside
back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.
Preferred Symbology Default
Scan the bar code below to set all Preferred Symbology entries to their default values.
Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in
whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default
Sequence symbol programs the scanner to the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you
want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es)
your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options. You must hold
the trigger while reading each bar code in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 4-21).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format.
Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit
data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number,
indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you
want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39
1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or for-
matted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 4-20, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code
lengths, you would use the following command line:
SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39

Output Sequence Editor
Partial Sequence
If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output sequence criteria are met, the bar code data acquired
to that point is a “partial sequence.”
Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is terminated before
completion. Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the sequence where no data
match occurred will be skipped in the output.)
Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit
the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform
to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.
Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger.
If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on)
for each read. If using a Granit scanner, the scanner also vibrates. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as
long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the
aiming beam. Default = Off.
No Read
With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data
Window (see page 10-3), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.
Default = Off.
If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message (see Data
Formatting beginning on page 6-1). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Video Reverse
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.
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.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all
symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.
To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies
Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all
current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.
