Introduction
The N86XX 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 image-based scanning into a variety of devices, including hand held
computers (medical instrumentation, kiosks, diagnostic equipment, and robotics.
Three different decoding configurations provide OEMs the flexibility required to
address various application-specific needs. The N8610/8613, with linear
decoding, delivers laser-like reading on linear codes. The N8680/8683 unit
decodes linear as well as 2D and postal codes. In addition to linear, 2D, and
postal codes, the N8690/8693 unit includes the OCR feature. For software
updates and additional information, visit the Honeywell website at
www.honeywellaidc.com.

About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming
instructions for the N86XX engine. Dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell’s bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common
terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,
programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM engine(s), take the following steps:
• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.

If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to
the interface board 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 engine using an RS-232 interface, all communication
parameters between the engine and terminal must match for correct
data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan the
RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs the 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

1-5

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 an engine to your host system, refer to the N86XX Integration
Manual.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners 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. Contact the
nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page 12-1) for
further information.

Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command
requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that
entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered
all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save
Custom Defaults bar code.

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 is the recommended default bar
code for most users. It resets the engine to the custom default settings. If there

1-6

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

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 Menu Commands, beginning on page 10-5 list the factory default settings
for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming
pages).

Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have
used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.

2 - 10

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

* Regular

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

Caps Lock

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

Shift Lock

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.
The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off. This selection
can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).

Automatic Caps 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

2 - 11

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.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for
Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-11). Otherwise, your output may not be as
expected.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

* Keyboard Conversion Off

Convert All Characters

Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example,
when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would
display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart
(Code Page 1252) on page A-4. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the
first column of the chart).

Note: Control + ASCII Mode overrides this mode.

2 - 12

Default = Off.

Control Character Output On

* Control Character Output Off

Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and
Turbo Mode.
Control + ASCII Mode On: The engine sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard
country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not
support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode.
Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page 8-1 for CTRL+ ASCII Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The engine sends key combinations for
ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it does not transmit any prefix or
suffix information.

Default = Control + ASCII Mode Off.

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

7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even

7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None

RS232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out
expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS232
receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset
the time-out. A 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 Receiver Time-Out

RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the engine using
software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no
data flow control is used.
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.
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 2-18) for CTS to be asserted
by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.
Default = RTS/CTS Off.

RS232 Timeout
When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the
delay you want to wait for CTS from the host. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back
cover, then scanning Save.

RS232 Timeout

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

2 - 18

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.

Power Up Beeper
The engine can be programmed to beep when it’s powered up. If you are using
a cordless system, the base can also be programmed to beep when it is powered up. Scan the Off bar code(s) if you don’t want a power up beep. Default =
Power Up Beeper On - Scanner.

* Power Up Beeper On Scanner

Beep on BEL Character
You may wish to force the engine to beep upon a command sent from the host.
If you scan the Beep on BEL On bar code below, the engine will beep every

Number of Beeps – Good Read
The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The
same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response
to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps,
there will be five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read.
The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the
number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar
code and the Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual. Default = 1.

Number of Good Read Beeps/LED Flashes

Number of Beeps – Error
The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the engine for a bad read
or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For example, if you program this
option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED
flashes in response to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan
the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar
code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Default = 1.

User-Specified Good Read Delay
If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar
code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning
digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

User-Specified Good Read Delay

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

3-6

slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced mode is best used when you
require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range. Default
= Manual Trigger-Normal.

* Manual Trigger - Normal

Manual Trigger - Enhanced

Serial Trigger Mode
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 10-4). When in serial mode,
the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time
has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger
when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has
timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or
using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar
code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning
digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning
Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Read Time-Out

3-7

Image Snap and Ship
Image Snap and Ship tells the engine 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 Trigger Modes beginning
on page 3-6).

Image Snap and Ship

Note: You must send a serial command for Manual Trigger Modes (see page
10-13) in order to use menu codes after using Image Snap and Ship.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the engine can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the
same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads.
Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is
required. Reread Delay only works in presentation modes. Default = Medium.

User-Specified Reread Delay
If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below,
then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the
inside back cover, then scanning Save.

Illumination Lights
If you want the illumination lights on while reading a bar code, scan the Lights
On bar code, below. However, if you want to turn just the lights off, scan the
Lights Off bar code. Default = Lights On.

* Lights On

Lights Off

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the engine’s field of view to make sure the engine
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.
In the example below, the gray area is the full engine field of view and the white
area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will
be.
Bar Code 1

Bar Code 2

3-9

The default centering window is a 169x128 pixel area in the center of the
engine’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
engine’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 engine. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the engine
only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the Top,
Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the
top, bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you
want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this
manual. Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and Right.

Preferred Symbology
The engine 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 engine 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
engine ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on
page 3-12) 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
engine will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is
no bar code in the engine’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data
is reported.
Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology.
Preferred Symbology Off.

High Priority Symbology
To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology
bar code below. On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology
you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology
and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover). Scan Save to save your selection. Default = None

3 - 11

Low Priority Symbology
To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar
code below. On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology you
want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and
scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).
If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan
the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart for the next symbology.
You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to save your
selection. Default = None

Low Priority Symbology

Preferred Symbology Time-out
Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low
priority symbologies, you must set the time-out period. This is the period of
time the engine will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority
bar code has been encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the
delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back
cover, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.

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.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is
turned on.

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 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.

To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output
Sequence, page 3-16).
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
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
(inside back cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be
acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is
a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length,
you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes, 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.)

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 is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62

code identifier for Code 39

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 3-14, but assume a suffix
and specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

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.

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 trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on)

3 - 16

for each read. The engine attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as
the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned Off, the engine
will only read the symbol closest to the center of the image. Default = Off.

* Off

No Read
With No Read turned On, the engine notifies you if a code cannot be read. If
using an EZConfig Tool Scan Data Window (see page 9-3), 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.

Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the engine to read bar codes that are inverted.
The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code.
Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video
Reverse and Standard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.

Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read.
You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video Reverse and Standard Bar
Codes in order to read menu bar codes.
Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not reversed. This is a setting for
decoding only.

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
x
1-11

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

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 (Code
Page 1252), beginning 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), beginning 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 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 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 programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

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 8-2. When the engine is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

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.

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

To Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).
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

5-1

you are programming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page
5-10 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: 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 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 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.
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 wedge interfaces.

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.

5-8

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.
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

Data Format 3

Single Scan Data Format Change
You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next bar
code is scanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format
you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).

5 - 10

For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as
Data Format 3. You can switch to Data Format 1 for a single trigger pull by
scanning the Single Scan-Data Format 1 bar code below. The next bar
code that is scanned uses Data Format 1, then reverts back to Data Format

All Symbologies
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your engine, 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.

All Symbologies On

All Symbologies Off

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

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the 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.

Code 39 Append
This function allows the engine to append the data from several Code 39
bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When
this function is enabled, the engine stores those Code 39 bar codes that
start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not
immediately transmit the data. The engine stores the data in the order in

6-7

which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The
engine transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that
starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

Code 128 Append
This function allows the engine to append the data from several Code 128
bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When
this function is enabled, the engine stores those Code 128 bar codes that
start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not
immediately transmit the data. The engine stores the data in the order in
which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The
engine transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 128 bar code
that starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

Code 128 Code Page
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the
data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be
because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that
is different from the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case,
scan the bar code below, select the code page with which the bar codes
were created (see Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes on page A-6),
and scan the value and the Save bar code from the Programming Chart on
the inside the back cover of this manual. The data characters should then
appear properly.

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,

Imaging Commands
The engine is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and
transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the
engine performs these functions.

Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the engine on a
single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture
is complete, the engine reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to
permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see
Chapter 10). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes
the new, permanent setting for the engine.

Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If additional 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 command, 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 7-2)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 7-5)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 7-14)
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 engine from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is
recommended that you position your engine 4-6" (10.2-15.2 cm) away
from the image/object you are capturing.

7-1

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 engine, 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 illumination (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 device is handheld. LED State is not available when
using Decoding Style (0P).
0L LEDs off (default)
1L LEDs on

7-2

E - Exposure
Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The
exposure time determines how long the engine 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)

nE Range: 1 - 7874
Example of Exposure at 7874E with
fluorescent lighting:

Example of Exposure at 100E with
fluorescent lighting:

G - Gain
Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Gain brightens images. Your
Exposure setting will affect your results when using Gain. 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
Example of Gain at
Example of Gain at
1G:
4G:

Example of Gain at
8G:

7-3

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)

nW Range: 0 - 255
Example of White
Value at 75W:

Example of White
Value at 125W:

Example of White
Value at 200W:

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)

nD Range: 0 - 255
U - Update Tries
This sets the maximum number of frames the engine should take to reach
the D - Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using
Photo Style (1P). (Default = 6)

nU 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 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 IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and document 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 75).
0A Infinity filter off (default)
1A Infinity filter on
Example of Infinity Filter off (0A)
from approximately 12 feet
(3.66m) away:

Example of Infinity Filter on (1A)

C - Compensation
Flattens the image to account for variations in illumination across the
image.
0C Compensation disabled (default)
1C Compensation enabled
Example of Compensation at 0C:

Example of Compensation at 1C:

D - Pixel Depth
Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image (KIM or BMP
format only).
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image
24D 24 bits per pixels (for BMP format)

7-6

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 (default)
14E Apply edge sharpen for typical image

ne Apply edge sharpen using strength n (n = 1-24)
Example of Edge Sharpen at 0E:

Example of Edge Sharpen at 24E:

F - File Format
Indicates the desired format for the image.
0F KIM format
1F TIFF binary
2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed
3F TIFF grayscale
4F Uncompressed binary (upper left to lower right, 1 pixel/bit, 0
padded end of line)
5F Uncompressed grayscale (upper left to lower right, bitmap format)
6F JPEG image (default)
8F BMP format (lower right to upper left, uncompressed)
10F TIFF color compressed image
11F TIFF color uncompressed image
12F JPEG color image

Example of Image Rotate set to 1ir:

Example of Image Rotate set to 3ir:

7-9

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. (Default = 50)

nJ Image is compressed as much as possible while preserving quality
factor of n (n = 0 - 100)
0J worst quality (smallest file)
100Jbest quality (largest file)
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.
0K Gamma correction off (default)
50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image
nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 0-1,000)
Example of Gamma
Correction set to 0K:

Example of Gamma
Correction set to 50K:

Example of Gamma
Correction set to 255K:

L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping
Note: Image Cropping should not be used with IMGSHP Modifiers (see
page 7-5).
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.

nL The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the
image in memory. Range: 000 - 640. (Default = 0)
nR The right edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n - 1
of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 640. (Default = all
columns)
nT The top edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n of the
image in memory. Range: 000 - 480. (Default = 0)

7 - 10

nB The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of
the image in memory. Range: 000 - 480. (Default = all rows)
Uncropped Image:

Example of Image Crop
set to 300R:

Example of Image Crop set to 200B:

Example of Image
Crop set to 300L:

Example of Image Crop set to 200T:

Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of
the image; thus only the center pixels are transmitted.

nM Margin: cut n columns from the left, n + 1 columns from the right,
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)
Example of Image Crop set to 238M:

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 information), 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 number of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point
the image becomes unusable.

7 - 11

1S ship every pixel (default)
2S ship every 2nd pixel, both horizontally and vertically
3S ship every 3rd pixel, both horizontally and vertically
Example of Pixel Ship set to 1S:

Example of Pixel
Ship set to 2S:

Example of Pixel
Ship set to 3S:

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 7-10), 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 7-13). 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

nU 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 7-7) to 22e.
Range: 0-255.
Example of Document
Image Filter set to 0U:

7 - 12

Example of Document
Image Filter set to 26U:

V - Blur Image
Smooths transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges of
defined lines and shaded areas in an image.
0V Don’t blur (default)
1V Blur
Example of Blur Image Off (0V):

Example of Blur Image On (1V):

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.
0W Don’t ship histogram (default)
1W Ship histogram
Image used for histogram:

Histogram of image at left:

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

* 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 engine 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.

Optimize On

* Optimize Off

7 - 14

The following IMGBOX example was executed and viewed using QuickView
software. This software is available at www.honeywellaidc.com. Click on Software 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
signature capture area should be centered in the image when the trigger is
pressed. A single beep is emitted, indicating that the engine 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
capture area below that code, and indicating that only that area containing the
signature should be transferred as an image to the host.
To see this example, align the signature area (not the bar code) in the center of
the image, 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 engine.
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 command.

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 7-17) and W - Width of Signature Capture Area (page 7-18).

IMGBOX Modifiers
A - Output Image Width

7 - 15

This option is used to size the image horizontally. If using this option, set
the resolution (R) to zero.
Example of Image Width set to 200A:

Example of Image Width set to 600A:

B - Output Image Height
This option is used to size the image vertically. If using this option, set the
resolution (R) to zero.
Example of Image Height set to 50B:

Example of Image Height set to 100B:

D - Pixel Depth
This indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image, which
defines whether it will be grayscale or black and white.
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image
F - File Format
This option indicates the type of file format in which to save the image.
0F KIM format
1F TIFF binary
2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed
3F TIFF grayscale
4F Uncompressed Binary
5F Uncompressed grayscale
6F JPEG image (default)
7F Outlined image

7 - 16

8F BMP format
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.

Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.
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.
0K Gamma correction off (default)
50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image
nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 0-1000)
Example of Gamma
Correction set to 0K:

Example of Gamma Correction
set to 50K:

Example of Gamma Correction
set to 255K:

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area
The resolution is the number of pixels that the engine 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 engine
automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit.

7 - 17

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 7-16).
Example of Resolution set to 0R:

Example of Resolution set to 1000R:

Example of Resolution set to 2000R:

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 example, 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
used in the example to accommodate a slightly wider image area.)

Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.
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.
Example of Horizontal Offset set to 75X:

Example of Horizontal Offset set to -75X:

7 - 18

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 capture 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.
Example of Vertical Offset set to -7Y:

Example of Vertical Offset set to 65Y:

7 - 19

EZConfig Introduction
EZConfig provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can
be performed on an engine connected to your PC's COM port. EZConfig allows
you to download upgrades to the engine's firmware, change programmed
parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using EZConfig, you
can even save/open the programming parameters for an 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 an engine, 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:

9-3

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 a 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
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 an 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.

Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D engine 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 engine 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 engine.

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.
6. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site.
7. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file.
8. Double click on the Setup.exe file. Follow the screen prompts to install
the EZConfig program.
9. If you’ve selected the defaults during installation, you can click on Start
Menu-All Programs-Honeywell-EZConfig.

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 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 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.

10 - 1

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 engine.

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.

10 - 2

NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an
entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only
accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with
the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks
(the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

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

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

Enter:

cbrena*.

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

What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?

Enter:

cbrena^.

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

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

Enter:

cbrena?.

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

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

Enter:

cbr?.

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

10 - 3

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 engine with serial trigger commands. First,
the engine must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger
Mode bar code (page 3-6), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering
(page 10-13). Once the engine 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 engine 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 3-7 for a description, and the serial command on page 10-13).

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

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 services are to be performed only by an authorized service center. See
"Customer Support" on page 12-1 for further information.

Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the engine’s 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 Honeywell 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?
If the power is not on, 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?
If the engine reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the
host screen:

11 - 1

• 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 or Terminal selection
bar code. See Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
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 6-2.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the engine, or if
you want the factory default settings restored, scan Resetting the Factory
Defaults on page 1-7.

Limited Warranty
Honeywell International Inc. ("HII") warrants its products to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship and to conform to HII’s published specifications
applicable to the products purchased at the time of shipment. This warranty

12 - 1

This warranty shall extend from the time of shipment for the duration published
by HII for the product at the time of purchase ("Warranty Period"). Any defective
product must be returned (at purchaser’s expense) during the Warranty Period
to HII factory or authorized service center for inspection. No product will be
accepted by HII without a Return Materials Authorization, which may be
obtained by contacting HII. In the event that the product is returned to HII or its

satisfaction that the product is defective due to defects in materials or workmanship, HII, at its sole option, will either repair or replace the product without
charge, except for return shipping to HII.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER COVENANTS OR
WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
HII’S RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER
THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE

EVENT SHALL HII BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL ANY LIABILITY OF HII
ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER
(WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM A CLAIM BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT PAID TO HII FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HII MAY
HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURIES, LOSSES,
OR DAMAGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.
All provisions of this Limited Warranty are separate and severable, which
means that if any provision is held invalid and unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
Use of any peripherals not provided by the manufacturer may result in damage
not covered by this warranty. This includes but is not limited to: cables, power
supplies, cradles, and docking stations. HII extends these warranties only to the
first end-users of the products. These warranties are non-transferable.
The duration of the limited warranty for the N86XX engine is 15 months.

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

A-6

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.
