Introduction
The N431X engine is designed for integration into a wide range of OEM
devices. The engine’s compact mechanical design can drop into many existing
applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate the benefits of laser-based scanning into a variety of devices, including hand held computers (PDTs, medical instrumentation, kiosks, diagnostic equipment, and
robotics).

About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming
instructions for the N431X engine. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell’s bar code engines are factory programmed for the most common
terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,
programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM engine(s), take the following steps:
• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.
• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Connecting the Development Engine to the PC
The development OEM engine can connect to a PC for evaluation.

Note: The development board and the kit components are not intended for
integration and should ONLY be used for evaluation of the engine.
1.

Turn off power to the terminal/computer.

If using a USB connection, connect the included interface cable to the
engine and to the matching USB port on the back of the computer.
Skip to step 5.

Note: For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to
Honeywell’s “USB Application Note,” available at
www.honeywellaidc.com.
Note: For USB connection only: Connecting power to both the micro-B
connector and the 10 pin RJ45 connector simultaneously could
damage the PC and/or the engine.

1-1

If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to
the engine and to the matching port on the back of the computer.

Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable.
Plug in the power supply.

Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps.

If connecting the Development engine using an RS-232 interface, all
communication parameters between the engine and the terminal must

1-2

match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232
protocol. Scan the RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs
the Development engine for an RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud,
parity-none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

RS-232 Interface

Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a
bar code is successfully decoded.

To connect a N4313/N4315 engine to your host system, please refer to the Integration Manual.

Reading Techniques
The engine projects a bright red scan beam that corresponds to the engine’s
scanning field of view. The scan beam should be centered horizontally over the
bar code and must highlight all the vertical bars of the bar code. It will not read
if the scan beam is in any other direction.
Good Read

No Read

The scan beam is smaller when the engine 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 elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read a symbol (on a
page or on an object), hold the engine at an appropriate distance from the target and center the scan beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is
highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to
18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Note: At 254mm a double beam of up to 3mm is to be expected. A double beam
will not affect scanning performance and is not a product defect.

1-3

Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell engines are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending
serial commands to the engine. 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 Limited Warranty on page 11-1) for further
information.

Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before each
menu command or sequence you want saved. If your command requires scanning 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.
When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom
defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting.
To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you
had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom
defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set
Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code,
and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain,
but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your engine, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This resets the engine to the custom
default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the engine to the
factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the
custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Activate Custom Defaults

1-4

Resetting the Factory Defaults

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

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your engine, or you’ve
changed some options and want to restore the engine to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate
Defaults. This resets the engine to the factory default settings.

Remove Custom Defaults

Activate Defaults

The Serial Programming Commands, beginning on page 9-1 list the factory
default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the
programming pages).

USB HID
Scan the following code to program the engine for USB HID bar code scanners.

USB HID Bar Code Scanner

HID Fallback Mode
If you attempt to set a USB interface for your engine, but the setup fails on
the host system, you can program the engine to fall back to a HID keyboard
interface after a set length of time. For example, if the engine is configured
for Serial Emulation Mode, but the host system does not have the correct
driver, the engine would fail. If you set the HID Fallback Mode for a set
length of time, for example, 5 minutes, the engine would change to a HID
keyboard interface after 5 minutes of trying to configure as serial emulation.
A unique beep sequence indicates that this mode has been entered. While
in HID Fallback Mode, the engine will not scan normal bar codes and
sounds a unique beep sequence that indicates the engine is in Fallback
Mode. Menu codes can still be scanned while in HID Fallback Mode, allowing you to change the engine’s programming.
Scan the bar code below, then set the length for the HID Fallback (from 060 minutes) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning
Save. Default = 5 minutes.

HID Fallback Mode

USB Serial Commands
USB Serial Emulation
Scan one of the following codes to program the engine to emulate a regular
RS232-based COM Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you
will need to download a driver from the Honeywell website
(www.honeywellaidc.com). The driver will use the next available COM Port
number. Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the engine as a USB
CDC class device and automatically uses a class driver.

ALT Mode
If your bar code contains special characters from the extended ASCII chart
for example, an e with an accent grave (è), you will use ALT Mode. (See
Extended ASCII Characters on page A-6.)

Note: Scan the ALT mode bar code after scanning the appropriate
Keyboard Country code.
If your keystrokes require using the ALT key and 3 characters, scan the 3
Characters bar code. If your keystrokes require the ALT key and 4 characters, scan the 4 Characters bar code. The data is then output with the
special character(s). Default = Off.

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

Shift Lock

Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g.,
Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps
Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but
uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Autocaps via NumLock

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

Emulate External Keyboard

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

Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all
lowercase. So if you have the following bar code: “abc569GK,” you can
make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to
Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to
Lower Case. These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Control + ASCII Mode On: The engine sends key combinations for ASCII
control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the ASCII chart for ASCII
Conversion Chart, page A-3). Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard 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.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The engine sends key combinations
for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F (refer to the ASCII chart for
ASCII Conversion Chart, page A-3), but it does not transmit any prefix or
suffix information.

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

RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the engine
using software commands from the host device.
RTS/CTS Off: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used, but
RTS is still active.
RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used and RTS is inactive.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The engine asserts RTS when it has data to
send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The engine asserts RTS
when it has a character to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be
asserted by the host
Two-Direction Flow Control: The engine 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 engine asserts RTS when it has data to
send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 2-19) 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.

2 - 18

Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The engine asserts RTS
when it has a character to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout
on page 2-19) 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, RTS Active.

XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the engine 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 engine,
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.

XON/XOFF On

* XON/XOFF Off

ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the engine 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 engine looks for more bar
codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and
the engine waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by
scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan
ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.

ACK/NAK On

* ACK/NAK Off

Communication Timeout
This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for the host
ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar code below, then set the timeout (from
1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart,
then scanning Save. Default = 2000 ms.

Communication Timeout

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the engine
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the engine will not transmit the output data to the host device.
See Require Output Sequence on page 3-21 for further information.

Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the engine 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 engine to
the following Universal values. These are the defaults. Be certain you
want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence
symbol.

Note: If CodeGate is enabled, you must hold the external trigger down
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 on the Programming Chart
to read these options.

To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output
Sequence, page 3-21).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you
want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
(inside back cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be
acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is

3 - 17

a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length,
you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart, page A-3, find the Hex value that
represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming
Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or
Save to save your entries.

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar
codes, but you want the engine 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.

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line follows:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command

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 3-18, but assume a suffix
and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save. Default = 5000 msec.

Sequence Timeout

Sequence Match Beeper
By default, the engine beeps when a sequence match is found. If you want
the engine to remain silent, scan the following Sequence Match Beeper
Off bar code. Default = Sequence Match Beeper On.

Sequence Match Beeper Off

* Sequence Match Beeper On

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.

3 - 20

Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any
fields in the sequence where no data match occurred will be skipped in the
output.) If you have programmed a Sequence Timeout (page 3-20) and
the timeout is reached, the partial sequence is transmitted. Default = Discard Partial Sequence.

Transmit Partial Sequence

* Discard Partial Sequence

Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an
edited sequence or the engine will not transmit the output data to the host
device. When it’s On/Not Required, the engine will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the engine
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 engine decodes it. Default = Off.

Required

On/Not Required

*Off

3 - 21

No Read
With No Read turned On, the engine notifies you if a code cannot be read. If
using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data Window (see page 8-2), an “NR”
appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will
not appear. Default = Off.

* 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 5-1).
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 breakdown of a message string:

Prefi

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 is dependent on interface.
• 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,
beginning on page A-3, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one
time.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear
on the output.
• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all
symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix
or suffix character.
• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 32 characters,
which includes header information.

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 the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the

4-1

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 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 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 Charts, 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 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
symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the
prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

4-2

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart
(included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1) for the
symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the
back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.

To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to
All Symbologies
Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all
symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Add CR Suffix

Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII Characters
You may need to emulate special keyboard functions, such as up or down
arrows, Alt/Make or Alt/Break commands, that are not supported in the
Extended ASCII Character table. Refer to Alternate Extended ASCII
Characters (page 4-5) for a range of keyboard function keys and corresponding
decimal and hex characters. If you scan the Transmit Alternate Extended
ASCII code, any hex entries in a prefix or suffix will result in the corresponding
Keyboard Function output.
Example: Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII is enabled, and you scan Add
Suffix, then scan 9 9 8 9. All symbologies (99) would have a suffix
of a Page Down (hex 89) added to them.
When Transmit Normal Extended ASCII is selected, the normal extended
ASCII character is transmitted (see ASCII Conversion Chart on page A-3).
Example: Transmit Normal Extended ASCII is enabled, and you scan Add
Suffix, then scan 9 9 8 9. All symbologies (99) would have a suffix
of a ‰ character added to them.

Default = Transmit Alternate Extended ASCII.

Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the engine transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of
these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on
page 7-2. When the engine is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

* Enable

Disable

Communication Check Character
To enhance security, you can specify the transmission type of a check character; either LRC where the calculation starts on the first transmitted character,
LRC where the calculation starts on the second transmitted character, or CRC.

Note: This option adds a check character to the bar code data for all
symbologies. If you need to enable or disable check characters for
individual symbologies, see Symbologies beginning on page 6-1.
Scan the following bar code to set the communication check character type.
Default = None.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and
Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may
be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data.
Scan the following Intercharacter Delay bar code, then scan the number
of 5ms delays, and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside
the back cover of this manual.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the engine’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used
only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send
Commands on page 5-4) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the engine. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

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.

* Default Data Format

Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-3).
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

5-1

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page
5-17 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-4) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the engine for your terminal ID (you must enter 3
digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to
which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.
If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 5-15).
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for
the Code I.D.

Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.
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. For example,
50 characters is entered as 0050.

Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-4). 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 Charts on page A-1), and the bar code
data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other
formats remain unaffected.
Clear all Data Formats
This clears all data formats.

from the current cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands
for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only
be used with keyboard emulation.

Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code
128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step 4 (page 5-2), select
6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter
FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with
the letter A. Syntax = B8.

Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-16) in order for the
B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page
5-16), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output
as usual.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format
Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 5-17), the engine emits an error
tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is
disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.

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

Data Formatter Off

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. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and
suffixes are transmitted.

5 - 15

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.
Data Format 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. Any data that does not match your data format requirements
generates an error tone. If you wish to process this type of bar code without
generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone
When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, the engine normally generates an error tone. However, you may want
to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you scan
the Data Format Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t
conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound.

Primary/Alternate Data Formats
You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your
primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under
1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar
codes below.

Primary Data Format

Data Format 1

Data Format 2

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the engine will issue an error tone. You may wish to set the same
value for minimum and maximum length to force the engine 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.

times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the
number of errors. Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it
will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy, scan the Code
11 Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0
and 10 on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Then scan the Save bar code. Default = 0.

symbol. GS1 data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13 and EAN-8,
ITF-14, GS1-128, and GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application 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,
EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be
the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).
If GS1 DataBar Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8,
EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be
the GS1-DataBar AIM ID, ]em (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).
If GS1 Code Expansion Off is scanned, retail code expansion is disabled, and
UPC-E expansion is controlled by the UPC-E0 Expand (page 6-40) setting. If
the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions
that can be performed on a engine connected to your PC's COM port. EZConfig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the engine's firmware, change
programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using
EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters for
a engine. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar
code to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with a engine, EZConfig-Scanning requires that the PC have
at least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using
a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS232 cable, an external power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a
USB cable is required.

EZConfig-Scanning Operations
The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:

Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data
in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the engine
and receive engine response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. 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
engine. The engine's programming and configuration data is grouped
into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item

8-2

under the “Configure” tree node in the application explorer. When one
of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the
parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The Configure
tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters
specified for a engine. You can set or modify these parameters as
required. You can later write the modified settings to the engine, or
save them to a dcf file.

Installing EZConfig-Scanning from the Web
Note: EZConfig-Scanning requires .NET framework. If .NET is not
installed on your PC, you will be prompted to install it during the
EZConfig-Scanning installation.
1. Access the Honeywell web site at www.honeywellaidc.com
2. Click on the Downloads tab. Select Software.
3. Click on the dropdown for Select Product Number and select the
number of your product.
4. Click on the listing for EZConfig-Scanning.
5. Follow the security directions as prompted on the screen.
6. When prompted, select Save, and save the file to the c:\windows\temp
directory.
7. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site.
8. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file.
9. Double click on the EZConfig-Scanning Setup.exe file. Follow the
screen prompts to install the EZConfig-Scanning program.
10. If you’ve selected the defaults during installation, you can click on Start
Menu-All Programs-Honeywell-EZConfig-Scanning.

Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the engine. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this
manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1). The following
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.

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

parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
An optional part of a command.
[option]
{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 RS232 configuration settings are
identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS232 baud rate is BAD.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s
operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table. A period (.)
performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatile menu
configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent
changes you want saved through a power cycle.

Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.

What is the default value for the setting(s).

9-1

?
*

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.)

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 command requires a different Tag field, the command is
separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).

Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an
entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only
accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with
the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks
(the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

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

9-2

Example:

What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter:

cbrena*.

Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of
values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example:

What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter:

cbrena^.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable
(CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example:

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

Enter:

cbrena?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on.
Example:

What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?

Enter:

cbr?.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
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.

Serial Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the engine with serial trigger commands. The
button is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate:

SYN T CR

Deactivate: SYN U CR

9-3

The engine scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The engine 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 engine’s external
trigger when using serial commands to trigger the engine. Once the
engine has timed out, you can activate the engine either by the external
trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read TimeOut bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then
scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Maintenance

Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer
Support on page 11-1).

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:

Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with engine
operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replacement.

Troubleshooting
The engine automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If
your engine is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to try to isolate the problem.

Is the power on? Is the laser aimer on?
If the laser aimer isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the engine having trouble reading your symbols?
If the engine 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 engine or in the decoder to which the engine
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 engine
to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter
the data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page
4-1 for further information.
Does the engine read the bar code incorrectly?

10 - 1

If the engine reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the
host screen:
• The engine may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal
interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the engine with the correct Plug and Play bar code. See
Programming the Interface beginning on page 2-1.
• The engine may not be programmed to output your bar code data
properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the engine with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter
6.

The engine won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the engine
reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).
2. If the engine still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies
On, page 6-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the engine,
or if you want the factory default settings restored, refer to Setting Custom
Defaults on page 1-4.
