* Off

1 - 5

3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the terminal/

computer.

4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.

Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted

to a USB connection. You must scan the IBM PC AT and Compatibles

with CR suffix bar code on page 1-5 to enable keyboard wedge ability.

Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in

the back of this manual. The imager beeps once.

Keyboard Wedge Connection

Scanning the bar code below allows operation of the 3800g as a keyboard

wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a U. S. keyboard.

If you programmed the imager for a different terminal interface and you want to

change to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface, scan the

bar code below.

Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

Laptop Direct Connect

For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows opera-

tion of the imager in parallel with the integral keyboard. The following Laptop

Direct Connect bar code selects terminal ID 03, programs a carriage return

(CR) suffix and turns on Emulate External Keyboard (page 2-5).

Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port

1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.

Note: For the imager to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your

type of terminal/computer.

3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the

two screws to secure the connector to the port.

4. Connect the power supply and plug into an outlet.

5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.

Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted

to a USB connection. You must scan the RS-232 Interface bar code

below to enable RS-232 ability.

Laptop Direct Connect

with CR suffix

1 - 7

All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for

correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning

the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the imager for an RS-232 interface at

38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

Refer to page 2-8 for additional RS-232 configuration settings.

Reading Techniques

The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field

of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it

will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction.

The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7

cm) from the unit. To read a single bar code or multiple bar codes (on a page or

on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull

the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the bar code.

Reading PDF417 Bar Codes

Note: Applies to 3800gHD and 3800gPDF.

To read PDF417 bar codes with a PDF-enabled 3800gHD/3800gPDF, hold the

trigger down and move the scanner up and down so the aiming line sweeps

from the top of the bar code to the bottom, and back up. This ensures that the

entire code is scanned.

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve

changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the

Stan-

dard Product Default Settings

bar code below.

The Menu Commands starting on page 11-5 lists the factory default settings for

each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Terminal Interfaces

Terminal ID

If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to Terminal ID, beginning on page

2-1 and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the Terminal ID bar

code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) from the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual to program the imager for your terminal ID.

Scan Save to save your selection.

For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003. You would scan the

Terminal ID bar code, then 0, 0, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits

(before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the Programming Chart,

scan the Terminal ID bar code, scan the digits, and the Save code again.

Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle your computer.

Please refer to Honeywell website (www.honeywell.com/aidc) for complete key-

board country support information and applicable interfaces. If you need to pro-

gram a keyboard for a country other than one listed above, scan the Program

Keyboard Country bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) for the

appropriate country from the inside back cover, then the Save bar code.

Keyboard Style

This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock.

Default =

Regular.

Regular

is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

Caps Lock

is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Shift Lock

is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common

to U.S. keyboards).

Automatic Caps Lock

is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.

The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2

only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED which

notes the Caps Lock status.

Autocaps via NumLock

bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-

many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.

The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the Num-

Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard

should be scanned if you do not have an external

keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power

cycle your computer.

Keyboard Modifiers

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

Turbo Mode.

Control + ASCII Mode On:

The imager sends key combinations for ASCII

control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All key-

board country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does

not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows

mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 8-1 for CTRL+ ASCII

Values.

Default = Off

Turbo Mode:

The imager sends characters to a terminal faster. If the terminal

drops characters, do not use Turbo Mode.

RS-232 Baud Rate

Baud Rate sends the data from the imager to the terminal at the specified rate.

The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the imager.

Default = 38,400

RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity

Data Bits

sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an applica-

tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and

punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use of the full

ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.

Default = 8.

Number of Beeps – Good Read

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same

number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good

read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be

five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and

LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps,

scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar

Trigger Modes

Manual/Serial Trigger

You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-

ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When in manual trigger

mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until

the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to

turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol-

lows).

Read Time-Out

Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when

using serial commands to trigger the imager. Once the imager has timed out,

you can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-

ger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out

duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back

cover, then scanning Save.

Default = 30,000.

Automatic Trigger

The imager scans continuously using internal LEDs to detect bar codes.

Presentation Mode

Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for

ambient conditions until a change occurs in the imager’s field of view. Then the

LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not

high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Continuous Illumination Mode

If you have several bar codes that are close together, you may wish to have a

continuous aiming beam on in order to properly aim the imager at one bar code.

Scan the Continuous Illumination On bar code to program the imager for this

capability. Once you have the aiming beam over the correct bar code, pull the

trigger to read the code. Scan the Continuous Illumination Off bar code to

turn off this feature.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”

modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the

imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager

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 imager reverts to the original hands free mode.

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the imager 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 at

POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar

code scanning is required.

Default = Medium.

Reread Delay only works when in automatic trigger mode or presentation mode

(see page 3-4).

Centering Window

Use the centering feature to narrow the imager’s field of view so the imager

reads only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the imager only

reads codes that intersect or are contained within the centering window you set

up. At least part of a bar code must be within the window to be decoded or out-

put by the imager.

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence

When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the imager

decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited

sequence or the imager 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 imager to output data

(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application

requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading

the

Default Sequence

symbol programs the imager to the Universal values,

shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all

formats before you read the

Default Sequence

symbol.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the

code I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application

requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read

these options.

Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the

Enter Sequence

symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-

9).

2. Code I.D.

On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want

to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-

ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back

cover).

3. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable

for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming

Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal num-

ber, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any

programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length

(unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences

On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the Hex

value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Program-

ming 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 barcodes,

but you want the image scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and

Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:

SEQBLKsequence editor start command

62 code identifier for Code 39

9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths

41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to

count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the

length. If you use the example on page 3-10, but assume a <CR> suffix and

specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

Multiple Symbols

When this programming selection is turned

, it allows you to read multiple

symbols with a single pull of the imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trig-

ger, aiming the imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once,

beeping (if turned on) for each read. The imager attempts to find and decode

new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection

is turned

Off

, the imager will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.

No Read

With No Read turned

, the imager sends an “NR” to the host if you pull and

release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad bar code). If No Read is

turned

Off

, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”

you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter (page 5-5). The hex

code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

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) on page A-3, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.

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

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

the output.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or

suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.

Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page

1252) on page A-3, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back

cover of this manual.

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

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

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

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

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

create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.

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

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

Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:

Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-3) for UPC.

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-3, 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 symbol-

ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is

deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),

all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

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

Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in

Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix

or suffix.

4 - 3

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 sym-

bologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs 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 imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of

these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on

page 8-3. When the imager 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.

Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99

steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the

transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter

Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the Save bar

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

To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the

number of steps to 0. Scan the Save bar code using the Programming Chart

inside the back cover of this manual.

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

User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed after the trans-

mission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length bar

code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the Save bar code using

the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value

for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay ASCII Conversion Chart (Code

Page 1252) on page A-3.

To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number of

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’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 do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands

on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.

Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the

order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order

in which formats are applied:

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 on page 5-4.

To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).

Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate

formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan

one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has

been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-

5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro-

gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are pro-

gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the

alternate format you are programming.

Step 3. Terminal Type

Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter-

minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the

5 - 2

inside back cover to program the imager 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 Appendix A find the symbology to which you want to apply the data

format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit

hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual.

Step 5. Length

Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable

for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program-

ming 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 the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the

symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanu-

meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

manual to save your entries.

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 alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the

Supported Terminals Chart on page 2-2), Code I.D. (refer to the 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.

•Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual

This exits, saving any Data Format changes.

•Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual

This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

Data Formatter

When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as

read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options.

Default = Data Formatter On.

When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited for-

mat or the imager does not transmit the input data to the host device.

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a

different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro-

grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-

mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar

codes below. The imager will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with

the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Secondary Interface

By switching secondary interface cables, the 3800g imager, for example, can

communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to

the host terminal (primary interface). See the table below for the secondary

interfaces for the 3800g.

3800g Models

Enabling the Secondary Interface

The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.

You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the second-

ary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable bar code

below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable bar code.

Default =Disable

Secondary RS-232 Connection

All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for

correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.

primary

secondary mode will affect both interfaces. If you want to change the

RS-232 settings, refer to the Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port

section on page 1-6.

Secondary Trigger Mode

Manual Trigger:

You must press the imager trigger to scan. When not scan-

ning, idle power is maintained.

Default = Manual Trigger

Automatic Trigger:

The imager scans continuously at full power.

Presentation Mode:

The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the

imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation

Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes.

Hands Free Time-Out

The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”

modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the

imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager

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 imager reverts to the original hands free mode.

Note: If you change the time-out duration for the secondary interface, the

duration of the primary interface will also be changed.

All Symbologies

If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your imager, scan the

All Symbologies On

code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a

particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for

that particular symbology.

Message Length

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

If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length,

the imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for

minimum and maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code

data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.

Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20

EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.

Min. length = 15 Max. 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 pro-

gram the imager to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check charac-

ters.

Default = No Check Character.

No Check Character

indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code

data with or without a check character.

When Check Character is set to

Codabar Concatenation

Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the

imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a

symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concat-

enated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

Select Require to prevent the imager from decoding a single “D” Codabar sym-

bol without its companion. This selection has no effect on Codabar symbols

without Stop/Start D characters.

Code 39 Append

This function allows the imager to append the data from several Code 39 bar

codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this func-

tion is enabled, the imager stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a

space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately trans-

mit the data. The imager stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are

read, deleting the first space from each. The imager transmits the appended

data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character other than a

space.

Visual Xpress

Visual Xpress Introduction

Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that

can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual

Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change pro-

grammed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using

Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an

imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single

bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or

fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar

code to load in the customized programming.

To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress 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 RS-232 cable, an exter-

nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a

USB cable is required.

Visual Xpress Operations

The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:

Scan Data

Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a win-

dow. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive

imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-

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

Configure

Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The

imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-

ries. 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 cate-

gory. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration

parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as

required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them

to a dcf file.

Imaging

Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Imager can perform.

You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-

played in an image window. Images captured from the imager 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 imager.

11 - 1

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 3800g. 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 RS-232 interface (see page 1-7). 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 Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage

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

Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu

command group. For example, all RS-232 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

RS-232 baud rate is BAD.

Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-

Tag.

Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the

command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-

mand’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.

11 - 2

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 de-

vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of

values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-

ues.)

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 command in the

sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the

new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag

and Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional com-

mand requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous

commands by a semicolon (;).

Responses

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

ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.

ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of

the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry

for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2

characters.

When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the

status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the

period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

11 - 3

Examples of Query Commands

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

response.

Example: Example #1: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: Example #2: 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: Example #3: 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: Example #4: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar

selections?

Enter: cbr?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK],

SSX0[ACK],

CK20[ACK],

CCT1[ACK],

MIN2[ACK],

MAX60[ACK],

DFT[ACK].

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 imager with serial trigger commands. First,

the imager must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the

Manual/Serial Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-3), or by sending the Manual/

Serial Menu Command (page 11-8). Once the imager 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 imager scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command

is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see Read Time-Out on

page 3-3 for a description, and the serial command on page 11-8).

Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve

changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the

Stan-

dard Product Default Settings

bar code below.

The chart on the following pages lists the factory default settings for each of the

menu 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. Please see

Customer Support on page 14-1 for further information.

Maintenance

The 3800g provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.

Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks

ensure dependable scanner 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 soapy water solu-

tion). If a soapy water solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened

with water only.

The scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.

Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the scanner’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of

damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner

operation. Contact your Honeywell distributor for information about cable

replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 13-2.

!Caution:

Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use

abrasive wipes or tissues on the imager’s window –

abrasive wipes may scratch the window.

Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or

phenol-based agents) on the housing or window –

solvents may damage the finish or the window.

13 - 2

Replacing the Interface Cable

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular

connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the 3800g scanner’s

handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field

replaceable.

• 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.

To Replace the 3800g 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 side 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.

Troubleshooting

The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your

scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide

to try to isolate the problem.

Is the power on? Is the aiming beam line on?

If the aiming beam line 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 out-

put the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data

into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 4-1 for further

information.

Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?

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 or Terminal selection

bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.

• 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

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, scan Resetting the Standard

Product Defaults on page 11-4.

Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes

Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data

received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar

code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the

one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with

which the bar codes were created. The data characters should then appear

properly.

Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
