Reading Techniques
The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre-
sponds 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 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 dis-
tance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam 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 prevent unwanted reflection.
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by send-
ing 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 technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page 14-1)
for further information.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory default settings restored, first scan
the Restore Factory Defaults bar code, then scan Save Defaults. This resets
the scanner to the factory defaults.
Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Save Defaults bar code also
causes both the scanner and the base 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. See Cordless System
Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.
The Menu Commands, beginning on page 11-5 list the factory default settings
for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming
pages).
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 each
menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scan-
ning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire
sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. Scan the Set Custom
Defaults code again before the next command you want saved to your custom
defaults.
Restore Factory Defaults
Save Defaults
Preliminary Draft
1 - 10
When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom
defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Save Defaults bar code also
causes both the scanner and the base 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. 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 ithe 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 settiing will be updated.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Cus-
tom Product Default Settings bar code below. This resets the scanner to the
custom defaults. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the
factory defaults. 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 to perform a reset and become unlinked. The
scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link. See Cordless

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 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.
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 2-25) 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.

onds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the time-
out (from 1-5100 milliseconds) 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

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

Cordless System Operation
Note: This chapter applies only to cordless scanning systems. It does not apply
to corded scanners.
How the Cordless Base Works
The cordless base provides the link between the cordless scanner and the host
system. The base 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 coordi-
nates the central interface 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 base also is the scanner’s battery charger. Refer to Beeper and LED
Sequences and Meaning, page 3-5, for additional information.
Linking the Scanner to the Base
Turn off power before connecting the base, then power up the computer once
the base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put
the scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base flashes
to indicate the scanner’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 13-5 for troubleshooting information.

Communication Between the Cordless System
and the Host
The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read”
indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is
scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is
possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between
the scanner and the base.
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base
unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the
base, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the
scanned data was received by the host system.
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. Designed for point-to-point and multi-
point-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 environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides a communica-
tion range of 33 feet (10m) between the scanner and base/Bluetooth adapter,
depending on the environment.
System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ-
ate a scanner to a base, 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.
3) Base sends data to host
1) Good Read
2) ACK from base
Preliminary Draft
3 - 3
Linking Process
Once a scanner is placed into the base, the scanner’s battery charge status
is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to
the base depending on the selected link mode.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not
transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with
the base 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. In addition, your scanner and base can
sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. Refer to Out-of-Range
Alarm, page 3-12.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner re-links if the scanner or the base have been reset or the
scanner comes back into range. If the scanner re-links, you will hear a sin-
gle chirp when the re-linking process (uploading of the parameter table) is
complete.
OutofRangeandBackintoRange
with Batch Mode On
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C.
symbols; others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the
base when back in range (see Batch Mode on page 3-14).
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.
Page Button
When you press the Page button on the base, the scanners associated with
that base will begin beeping (3 short and 1 long beep). If you pull the trig-
ger on a scanner that is beeping in response, that scanner will stop beep-
ing. If you press the Page button on the base a second time, all associated
scanners will stop beeping. See Paging on page 3-8 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 recom-
mended 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.
!
Preliminary Draft

Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is inte-
grated in the scanner handle. Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60%
charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to Base LED Sequences and Meaning, page 3-
6, for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power
supply.
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.
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.

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 general waste
materials. You may send the scanner’s battery to us.
(postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying
with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations
related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and ship-
ping 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 top of the unit to indicate its power up, com-
munication, and battery status. Simply stated, red LED = error; green
LED = success of any type. The unit’s audible indicators have meaning as well:
1 razz or error tone = error; 2 beeps = menu change; 1 beep = all other suc-
cesses.
The table below lists the indication and cause of the LED illumination and beeps
for the scanner.

By default, the paging button on the base pages the scanners associated
with that base. If you want the paging button on your base to be disabled,
scan the Paging Mode Off bar code, below. When Paging Mode is off, the
base will no longer page scanners when the button is pressed. The red
LED on the base 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.

Error Indicators
Beeper Pitch - Base Error
The base can be configured to beep at a particular pitch when an error
occurs, such as transmission problems 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 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.

Single Scanner Modes
The Xenon is capable of working in single scanner mode, multiple scanner
mode, or with Bluetooth devices other than the CCB01-010BT charge base.
Charge Only Mode
There may be times when you want to charge your scanner, but not link to
the base. For example, if the scanner is linked to a Bluetooth device and
you need to charge the scanner, but want to retain your existing link. To do
so, scan the Charge Only Mode bar code. If you want to charge the scan-
ner and link to the base, scan Charge and Link Mode.
Default = Charge
and Link Mode.
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.
Note: If you have scanned Charge Only Mode, and then scan the
linking bar code on the base, the scanner will link to the base.

Linked Modes
Locked Link Mode and Open Link Mode are the link modes that accommo-
date 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 using the Locked Link Mode, other
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed
into the base. If you do place a different scanner into the 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 Single Scanner
Modes, page 3-10.)
Open Link Mode - Single Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and
scanner are not linked. By placing a scanner into the base, they estab-
lish a link. Placing a different scanner into the base establishes a new
link and the old scanner is unlinked. Each time a scanner is placed
into the base, it becomes the linked scanner; the old scanner is
unlinked.
Unlinking the Scanner
If the base 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. To unlink a scanner from the base, 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,
scan the Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner
and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden; the
broken or lost scanner’s link with the base 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. The alarm stops when the scanner is moved closer to the base,
when the base 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 the host.
Alarm Sound Type
If you have set the out-of-range alarm enabled, you may change the alarm
type for the scanner or base by scanning the appropriate bar code below
and then scanning a digit (0-7) bar code and the Save bar code on the

For the new power setting to take effect, the scanner and base must be reset.
See Reset Scanner and Base (page 3-14).
Reset Scanner and Base
Once the power level is set, you must scan the Reset Base bar code and
wait for the scanner to unlink and relink to the base. Once that is done,
scan the Reset Scanner bar code and wait for the base to unlink and relink
to the scanner.
Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its
base, or when performing inventory. The data is transmitted to the base once
the scanner is back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.
Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners to one base. If
a cordless system is being used in "multiple link mode," where up to 7
scanners are to be connected to one base, 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. The data is automatically transmitted to the base 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 so data can be transmitted.

Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of
the base. To transmit the stored data to the base, either place the scanner in
the base, or scan Transmit Inventory Records (page 3-19). 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.
Default = Batch Mode Off.
Batch Mode Beep
Scan Batch Mode Beep On to program the scanner to beep when it enters
Batch Mode.
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 mem-
ory prior to powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner
powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untrans-
mitted 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, even if it reaches a power down time-
out. 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 3-17), you could
ouptut your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.
Default = Batch Mode Quantity
Off.
Entering Quantities
Quantity Codes (page 3-17) 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 quantity 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.

Transmit Records to Host
If you are operating in Inventory Batch Mode (see Inventory Batch Mode on
page 3-15), 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 application to process. To
program a transmit delay between accumulated scans, scan one of the fol-
lowing 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 14-3) for additional information.

To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once
you scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base and must be
placed into the base to re-link.
Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using. When you have multi-
ple scanners linked to one base, you may want to name each scanner so you
will be able to control the scanner receiving imaging commands sent from the
base.
The default name for a Xenon is “Xenon.” If you have more than one scanner
linked to a base, and they all have the default names, the first scanner linked to
the base receives commands. You can change the name of a scanner using a
serial command (refer to Scanner Name, page 11-15) or using a bar code com-
mand. To change the name serially, unlink all except one of the scanners from
the base. Send “:Xenon:BT_NAM
name
.”, where
name
is the new scanner
name. If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, re-link them one
at a time and repeat the “:Xenon:BT_NAM
name
.”
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 re-link to the base before scanning another bar code to rename the next
scanner.
Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot
send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the bar code
below and scan a number for the scanner name. For example, if you had 7
scanners to one base, scan the bar code below with the first scanner, scan the
1 bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual and
scan Save. Then scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to re-link to
the base before scanning the next bar code. Repeat that process for scanner

Application Work Groups
Your cordless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one base. 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. EZConfig (page 10-2) makes it easy for you to pro-
gram your system for use with multiple scanners and multiple work groups.
The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scan-
ner is connected or reconnected to a base, the scanner is updated with the lat-
est settings from the base for its work group. The scanner also receives menu
setting changes processed by the base. If a scanner is removed from one base
and placed into another base, it will be updated with the new base settings for
whatever work group 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.

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

connect to a base unit. 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 the base unit. Press-
ing the trigger or placing the scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count
and the scanner will again try to link to the base unit. When set to zero, the
scanner will try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page 4-
7) expires.
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.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between re-link attempts. An
attempt to link a scanner to a base unit typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This
is the time when the scanner is actually attempting to contact base unit.
Relink Time-Out controls 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. An extra 7 seconds may be required when
a connection is successful.

Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values
When the scanner goes out of range, the scanner repeatedly attempts to
connect to base unit. 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. 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 unit, 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 re-link. When
the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit. 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 unit, but retains any bar codes

Host Command Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject
incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions. These applica-
tions require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted
from the scanner. Turning on Host ACK configures the scanner to respond to
commands from the host system.
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 3-30).
• 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 com-
mand. Because of this situation, 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 3-30. 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.
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 in application work group zero beep
low, then medium, then high.
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:
• The scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/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 (via the base) 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

Manual/Serial Trigger Modes
Manual Trigger
When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read,
or until the trigger is released. Two modes are available, Normal and
Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest work-
ing ranges (depth of field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possi-

ble 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.
Serial Trigger
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial
trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When in serial
mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deacti-
vate 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 trigger command. After scanning the Read
Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 millisec-
onds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back
cover, then scanning Save.
Default = 30,000 ms.
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.

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 bat-
tery 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.
In-Stand Sensor Mode
This feature senses when the scanner is removed from the stand and tells it to
begin manual triggering. When you scan Sensor On, the scanner goes into
manual trigger mode when it is removed from the stand. For example, if the

scanner is programmed for Presentation Mode (page 4-9), it would be in pre-
sentation mode whenever it is in the stand, and in manual trigger mode when-
ever it is removed from the stand.
Default = Sensor On.
Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs remain
off until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LEDs turn on automat-
ically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presen-
tation Mode may not work properly.
Note: If you are using a cordless device in Presentation Mode, the battery will
not charge unless the power supply is plugged into the base’s auxiliary
power port.
Presentation LED Behavior after Decode
When a scanner is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue
scanning for a short time after a bar code is decoded. If you wish to turn
the LEDs off immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off

Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the
scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity,
scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-
20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting,
and 20 is the least sensitive.
Default = 1.
Streaming Presentation
™
Mode
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scanner’s aimer goes out after a
short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously
search for bar codes. Two modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Nor-
mal 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 4-16), 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 system, the base must have an external power
supply plugged into the aux port for Streaming Presentation to work
properly.

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 Reading for either a hand held device, or for a hands-free (pre-
sentation) application.
Note: To turn off Mobil Phone Read Mode, scan a Manual or Serial Trigger
Mode bar code (see page 4-6).
Image Snap and Ship
Image Snap and Ship tells the scanner to take a picture (rather than read a bar
code) when the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to
the host system as a jpeg file by default. To revert to bar code reading, you
must change to a different trigger mode (see Manual/Serial Trigger Modes
beginning on page 4-6).
Note: You must use an RS232 interface to use this code. Otherwise, menu
codes will not work until you send a serial command for Manual/Serial
Trigger Modes (see page 11-18).
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 trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls)
the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the
same
bar code a sec-
ond 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 4-9).

Default = Lights On.
Note: This setting does not affect the aimer light. The aiming light can be set
using Aimer Mode (page 4-14).
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.

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 the scanner
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 4-13, 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 scan-
ners.)

The default centering window is a 169x128 pixel area in the center of the scan-
ner’s field of view. The following diagram illustrates the default top, bottom, left,
and right pixel positions, measured from the top and the left side of the scan-
ner’s field of view, which is 844 by 640 pixels.
If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output
by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scan-
ner only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the
Top, Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes.

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 Symbology 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 4-17) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority
symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scan-
ner 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.

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host
device.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is
turned on.
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 appli-
cation 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: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.
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.

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 Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes, page A-6, 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:

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 Trans-
mit 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 trig-
ger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once,
beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and decode
new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection
is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
Default = Off.

No Read
With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If
using an EZConfig 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

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 break-
down 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-4, 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 5-3).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for the
Prefix Scanned DataSuffix

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) on page A-4, 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 Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1) for
U.P.C..
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252) on page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 6. 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 sym-
bologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific char-
acter from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
Preliminary Draft

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 Chart, 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 pro-
grams a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Suffix Selections
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 9-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-
verted 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.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For exam-
ple, 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 6-4) 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.
To 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
* Default Data Format
Preliminary Draft
6 - 2
you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page
6-10 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 6-4) 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 Chart, 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.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50
characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating
all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to (page 6-4). Scan the symbols that represent the command you
want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each
symbology data format.
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 Chart 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.

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 Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is
found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not
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. If you wish to process this type of bar code without generating
an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbolo-
gies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid read-
ing 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.
Min. length = 09Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming
Chart inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum
lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

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.

Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatena-
tion, 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 mes-
sages 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.

ITF-14, GS1-128, and GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any applica-
tion that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize
one data carrier type.)
If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8,

Imaging Commands
The scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and
transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the scan-
ner performs these functions.
Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the scanner on a
single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture
is complete, the scanner reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to
permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see
Chapter 11). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes
the new, permanent setting for the scanner.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If addi-
tional modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers
to that command. For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap com-
mand, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T,
you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you
must follow it with an IMGSHP command if you want to see it on your
terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a
semicolon. For example, to add the Image Ship command to the above
sequence, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 8-2)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 8-5)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 8-14)
The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Note: The images included with each command description are examples only.
The results you achieve may be different from those included in this
manual. The quality of the output you receive will vary depending on
lighting, quality of the initial image/object being captured, and distance of
the scanner from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is
recommended that you position your scanner 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm) away
from the image/object you are capturing.
Preliminary Draft

Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP
Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image
Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers
and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be
appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound
once the snap is complete: IMGSNP2G1B
IMGSNP Modifiers
P - Imaging Style
This sets the Image Snap style.
0P Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be taken
until the exposure parameters are met. The last frame is then
available for further use.
1P Photo Style
(default).
This mimics a simple digital camera, and
results in a visually optimized image.
2P Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be used
by an experienced user. It allows you the most freedom to set up
the scanner, and has no auto-exposure.
B - Beeper
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.
0B No beep
(default)
1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured.
T - Wait for Trigger
Waits for a hardware button push before taking the image. This is only
available when using Photo Style (1P).
0T Takes image immediately
(default)
1T Waits for a button push, then takes the image
L - LED State
Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumina-
tion (0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID
cards, especially when the scanner is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is
preferred when the scanner is handheld. LED State is not available when
using Decoding Style (0P).
0L LEDs off
(default)
1L LEDs on
Preliminary Draft
8 - 3
E - Exposure
Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the expo-
sure time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The
exposure time determines how long the scanner takes to record an image.
On a bright day, exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is
available to help record an image. At nighttime, exposure time can increase
dramatically due to the near absence of light. Units are 127 microseconds.
(Default = 7874)
n
E Range: 1 - 7874
G - Gain
Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain
modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase
the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified.
1G No gain
(default)
2G Medium gain
4G Heavy gain
8G Maximum gain

8 - 4
W - Target White Value
Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For
capturing close-up images of high contrast documents, a lower setting,
such as 75, is recommended. Higher settings result in longer exposure
times and brighter images, but if the setting is too high, the image may be
overexposed. Target White Value is only available when using Photo Style
(1P).
(Default = 125)
n
W Range: 0 - 255
D - Delta for Acceptance
This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target
White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo Style (1P).
(Default = 25)
n
D Range: 0 - 255
U - Update Tries
This sets the maximum number of frames the scanner should take to reach
the D - Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using
Photo Style (1P).
(Default = 6)
n
U Range: 0 - 10
% - Target Set Point Percentage
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A
setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white
value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this
setting from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances.
To alter grayscale values, W - Target White Value should be used.
(Default
= 50)
n% Range: 1 - 99

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP
Image Ship - IMGSHP
An image is taken whenever the button is pressed, or when the Image Snap
(IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory.
You can “ship” the image by using the IMGSHP command.
The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that is transmit-
ted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with a num-
ber and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be
appended to the IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and docu-
ment image filtering: IMGSNP;IMGSHP8F75K26U
IMGSHP Modifiers
A - Infinity Filter
Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or
3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with IMGSHP Modifiers (page 8-
5).
0A Infinity filter off

E - Edge Sharpen
An edge sharpen filter cleans up the edges of an image, making it look
cleaner and sharper. While edge sharpening does make the image look
cleaner, it also removes some fine detail from the original image. The
strength of the edge sharpen filter can be entered from 1 to 24. Entering a
23E gives the sharpest edges, but also increases noise in the image.
0E Don’t sharpen image

J - JPEG Image Quality
Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image format is selected. Higher
numbers result in higher quality, but larger files. Smaller numbers result in
greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, lower
quality, but smaller files.

K - Gamma Correction
Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the
image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A
higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the
setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping
Note: Image Cropping should not be used with IMGSHP Modifiers (see
page 8-5).
Ships a window of the image by specifying the left, right, top, and bottom
pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered 0 through 1279, and
device rows are numbered 0 through 959.

n
rows from the top, and
n
+ 1 rows from the bottom of the image.
Ship the remaining center pixels. Range: 0 - 238.
(Default = 0, or full image)
P - Protocol
Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the image
data being sent to the host. It addresses the protocol used to send the data
(Hmodem, which is an Xmodem 1K variant that has additional header infor-
mation), and the format of the image data that is sent.
0P None (raw data)
2P None
(default for USB)
3P Hmodem compressed
(default for RS232)
4P Hmodem
S - Pixel Ship
Pixel Ship sizes an image in proportion to its original size. It decimates the
image by shipping only certain, regularly spaced pixels. For example, 4S
would transmit every fourth pixel from every fourth line. The smaller num-
ber of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point
the image becomes unusable.

1S ship every pixel
(default)
2S ship every 2nd pixel, both horizontally and vertically
3S ship every 3rd pixel, both horizontally and vertically
U - Document Image Filter
Allows you to input parameters to sharpen the edges and smooth the area
between the edges of text in an image. This filter should be used with
gamma correction (see page 8-10), with the scanner in a stand, and the
image captured using the command:
IMGSNP1P0L168W90%32D
This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E -
Edge Sharpen command (see page 8-13). This filter also works well when
shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting
is 26U.
0U Document image filter off
(default)
26U Apply document image filter for typical document image
n
U Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use
lower numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a
similar effect to setting E - Edge Sharpen (page 8-7) to 22e.

W - Histogram Ship
A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key
type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key
image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image
has detail concentrated in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram
for an image.

Image Size Compatibility
If you have applications that expect an image ship to return exactly
640x480 pixels, scan the Force VGA Resolution bar code.
Default = Native
Resolution
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX
IMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture
area relative to its proximity to a bar code. This allows you to tailor a signature
capture area to a specific form. In order to use IMGBOX, you need a set form
where the signature box location is in a known location relative to a bar code.
You can input the overall size of the signature area, as well as specify how far
the signature area is from the bar code, vertically and horizontally. You can also
set the resolution and file format for the final output of the signature capture
image.
Note: IMGBOX commands can only be triggered by one of the following types
of bar codes: PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec, Codabar, and
Interleaved 2 of 5. Once one of these symbologies has been read, the
image is retained for a possible IMGBOX command.
Signature Capture Optimize
If you will be using your scanner to capture signatures frequently, you
should optimize it for this purpose. However, the speed of scanning bar
codes may be slowed when this mode is enabled.
Default = Off.

The following IMGBOX example was executed and viewed using QuickView
software. This software is available at www.honeywellaidc.com. Click on Soft-
ware Downloads. Select 4600r from the Products list, then select QuickView
Software Utility.
Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the
aimer is centered over the signature capture area and the trigger is pressed. A
single beep is emitted, indicating that the scanner has read a Code 128 bar
code and the data has been transferred to the host. An IMGBOX command
may now be sent from the host to specify the coordinates of the signature cap-
ture area below that code, and indicating that only that area containing the sig-
nature should be transferred as an image to the host.
To see this example, align the aimer with the signature area (not with the bar
code), then press the trigger.
Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push:
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.
Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for
clarity.
The following image is captured:
The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to
change the size and appearance of the signature image output by the scanner.
Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in
memory. Modifiers always begin with a number and end with a letter (case
insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX com-
mand.
Note: The IMGBOX command will return a NAK unless a window size (width
and height) are specified. See H - Height of Signature Capture Area
(page 8-17) and W - Width of Signature Capture Area (page 8-18).
IMGBOX Modifiers

H - Height of Signature Capture Area
The height of the signature capture area must be measured in inches
divided by .01. In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 3/8
inch, resulting in a value of H = .375/0.01 = 37.5.
K - Gamma Correction
Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the
image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A
higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the
setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area
The resolution is the number of pixels that the scanner outputs per each
minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the
image, but also the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The scanner
automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit.
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

For example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.5. Set to zero when
using the A and B modifiers (see A - Output Image Width and B - Output
Image Height on page 8-16).
S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio
All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum
element size of the bar code. The bar code aspect ratio allows you to set
the ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width. In the exam-
ple, the narrow element width is .010 inches and the bar code height is
0.400 inches, resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.
W - Width of Signature Capture Area
The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches
divided by .01. In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4
inches, resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset
The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of
the signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to
the right and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of
the minimum bar width.

Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset
The vertical bar code offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the
signature capture area. Negative numbers indicate that the signature cap-
ture is above the bar code, and positive numbers indicate that the area is
below the bar code. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar
width.
RF Default Imaging Device
The scanner supports imaging command processing (IMGSHP, IMGSNP, IMG-
BOX) so that EZConfig-Scanning (see page 10-3) and other applications are
able to perform imaging functions as if they were communicating directly with a
scanner. To accomplish this, the scanner uses a menu command called
RF_DID (RF Default Imaging Device). RF_DID is the name of the scanner
(BT_NAM) that is to receive imaging commands. The default for RF_DID is
“*”indicating that imaging commands are to be sent to all associated scanners.
Change this setting to RF_DID
scanner_name
to ensure that they are sent to a
particular scanner. Refer to "Paging" on page 3-8 to generate a report contain-
ing the port, work group, scanner name, and address for each scanner. Refer to
"Scanner Name" on page 3-20 set a unique name for each scanner.

Application Plug-Ins (Apps)
Any apps that you are using can be turned off or on by scanning the following
bar codes. Apps are stored in groups: Imaging, Decoding, and Formatting. You
can enable and disable these groups of apps by scanning that group’s On or Off
bar code below. You can also scan the List Apps bar code to output a list of all
your apps.
Note: You must reset your device in order for the apps setting to take effect.
EZConfig Introduction
EZConfig provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can
be performed on a scanner connected to your PC's COM port. EZConfig allows
you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware, change programmed
parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using EZConfig, you
can even save/open the programming 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 custom-
ized programming.

To communicate with a scanner, EZConfig 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 Operations
The EZConfig 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 win-
dow. The data displayed 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 configuration 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 "Con-
figure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parame-
ters 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.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Scanner
can perform. You can capture an image using the current settings, and
the image will be displayed in an image window. Images captured
from the scanner can be saved to files in different image formats. You
can modify the image settings and save the image settings to an INI
file, which can be loaded later to capture new images. Imaging also
lets you preview the images continuously captured by the scanner.
Installing EZConfig from the Web
Note: EZConfig requires .NET software. If .NET is not installed on your
PC, you will be prompted to install it during the EZConfig installation.
1. Access the Honeywell web site at www.honeywellaidc.com
2. Click on the Resources tab. Select Product Downloads-Software.
3. Click on the dropdown for Select Product Number. Click on Xenon.
4. Click on the listing for EZConfig.
5. When prompted, select Save File, and save the files to the
c:\windows\temp directory.
Preliminary Draft

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 pro-
gram the scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this
manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-2). 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:
parameter
A 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: To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host),
use :Xenon: The default factory setting for a Xenon scanner is Xenon
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.
Preliminary Draft
11 - 2
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.
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 com-
mand 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 (;).
Preliminary Draft
11 - 3
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],
Preliminary Draft
11 - 4
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
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 4-6), or by sending a serial menu command for
triggering (page 11-18). 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 com-
mand 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 11-18).
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory default settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings bar code below.
Note: If using a cordless system, scanning this bar code also causes both the
scanner and the base 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. 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).

Maintenance
Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These ser-
vices are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer
Support on page 14-1).
Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable operation:
Cleaning the Device
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If
the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the
window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild
detergent- water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a
clean lens tissue dampened with water only.
The scanner and base’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of dam-
age. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner
operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replace-
ment. Cable replacement instructions are on page 13-1.
Replacing Cables in Corded Scanners
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner’s handle
by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replace-
able.
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s
housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner’s
window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never
use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on the housing or
window – solvents may damage the finish or the window.
!Caution:
Preliminary Draft
13 - 2
• Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
Replacing an Interface Cable
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable
from the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the back
of the scanner’s handle. This is
the cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper
clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip
into the small hole and press in.
This depresses the retention tab,
releasing the connector. Pull the
connector out while maintaining
pressure on the paper clip, then
remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.
Replacing Cables and Batteries in Cordless
Systems
Replacing an Interface Cable in a Base
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the base’s cable from the
terminal or computer.
3. Turn the base upside down.
4. Pull the connector out while
maintaining pressure on the
connector release clip.
5. Replace with the new cable.

Changing a scanner
Battery
1. Loosen the thumbwheel
screw on the end cap by
hand or use a hex wrench.
2. Remove the battery from
the handle.
3. Insert replacement

4. Replace end cap and
screw.
Troubleshooting a
Xenon Scanner
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If
your scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshoot-
ing Guide to try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aiming beam on?
If the aiming beam isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
• The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
• Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner
connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to
press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
• You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner
to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter
the data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 5-
1 for further information.
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?
End Cap
Preliminary Draft
13 - 4
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on
the host screen:
• The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal
interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play bar code. See
Programming the Interface beginning on page 2-1.
• The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data
properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See
Chapter 7.
The scanner won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner
reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).
2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All
Symbologies On, page 7-2.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner,
or if you want the factory default settings restored, refer to Resetting the
Factory Defaults on page 1-9.
Troubleshooting a Cordless System
Troubleshooting a Base
Note: Visit the Services and Support section of our website
(www.honeywellaidc.com) to check for the latest software for both
the scanner and the base.
If your base is not functioning properly, review the following troubleshooting
guidelines to try to isolate the problem.
Is the red LED on?
If the red LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The power cable is connected properly and there is power at the power
source.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the green LED on?
If the
green
LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The scanner is correctly placed in the base.
• There is external power or 12 volt host power.
• Charge mode is turned on. (See "Beeper and LED Sequences and
Meaning" on page 3-5)
Preliminary Draft

• The battery is not bad or deeply discharged. In some cases, the
scanner’s battery may trickle charge to bring it into an acceptable level
and then transition to a normal charge cycle.

Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the
barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from
the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page
with which the barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear
properly.
Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
