Getting Started
The IT3800 is a high performance linear imaging scanner from Hand Held
Products. The IT3800 marks a new performance level for handheld scanners.
Linear imaging technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused aiming line,
high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The IT3800 is comfortable to
hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for all general scanning applications.
The IT3900 is a fixed mount bar code scanner designed for retail kiosks,
manufacturing WIP tracking, document processing, or other OEM applications.
It is a complete decoded output scanner that is easy to integrate. It
communicates with PCs or host terminals via keyboard wedge or a serial RS-232
interface. The IT3900 can be used internally or externally. The housing provides
protection from dust, dirt, and electrostatic discharge.
Typical Applications for the IT3900
The IT3900 is an ideal scanner
for retail kiosks. The bright
aiming line and large working
range make scanning easy for
untrained users.
The IT3900 mounted in a stand
makes an efficient bar code
document reader; it takes up a
minimum of counter space and
reads and transmits data
quickly.

Serial Port Connection
All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for
correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the
RS-232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS-232 interface at
9600 baud, even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit (8 bit data), and adds a suffix of a
CR LF.
RS-232 Interface
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to
the scanner.
Note: For the scanner to work properly, you
must have the correct cable for your type
of terminal/computer.

Wand Emulation Connection
In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in
the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all
symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code
128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other
symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per
second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.

Scan Rate
Adjusting the scan rate changes the current draw when scanning. The slower
the scan rate, the lower the current draw. (The standby current remains the
same.) Scan speeds are 270 s/s, 135 s/s, and 67 s/s. A scan speed of 270
draws the highest power and has the best performance. A scan speed of 135
has a medium draw with medium performance. A scan speed of 67 draws the
lowest power and has the lowest performance. Default = 270 s/s.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a
second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the
same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at
POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code
scanning is required. Default = Short.

Trigger Mode
Manual/Serial Trigger: You can activate the scanner either by pressing the
trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 12-
4). When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or
until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Serial Trigger Time Out,
which follows). Default for IT3800.

Serial Trigger Time Out: Use this selection to set a time out (in quarter
seconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the
scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, it must be triggered again either
serially or manually. After scanning the Serial Trigger Time Out bar code, set the
time out duration (from 0-1200 quarter seconds) by scanning digits from the
inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 0 (infinite, or no time out).
Serial Trigger Time Out
Manual Trigger, Low Power: The scanner “sleeps,” using only 30 milliamps,
until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner wakes up and
operates at reduced power until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low
Power Time Out bar code. There is a short delay in operation when the scanner
is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power mode.
Manual Trigger, Low Power
Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge
applications.
Low Power Time Out: Scan the Low Power Time Out bar code to change the
time out duration. Then scan the time out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from
the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 2 minutes.
Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save),
scan Discard on the back cover, scan the Lower Power Time Out bar
code, scan the correct digits, then Save again.
Low Power Time Out
Automatic Trigger: The scanner scans continuously at full power. Default for
IT3900.

Presentation Mode: The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the
scanner. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation
Mode uses normal office or store ambient light to detect the bar codes.

Note: Do not use Presentation Mode with a 3800/3900PDF. Normal office or
store ambient light does not provide enough illumination for the IT3800/
3900PDF to work properly in Presentation Mode.

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:
Prefix
1-10
alpha numeric
characters
Scanned Data
Suffix
1-10
alpha numeric
characters
variable length
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 chart (page 4-6 ), plus Code
I.D. and Aim I.D.
•
•
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on
the output.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-4).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (page 4-5)
for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.
IT3800/3900 User’s Guide
4 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion
Chart (page 4-6) 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.
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.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (page 4-5)
for UPC.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion
Chart (page 4-6) for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).
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. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you
select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes
(Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
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 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.

Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of
these function codes are provided in Section 10, Supported Interface Keys.
When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a
key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps
(of 5 ms each).
Intercharacter Delay
This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between the
transmission of each character of scanned data. You can program up to 99 steps
(of 5 ms each). Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the
number of steps, and the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example,
you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar
code data as it is scanned. It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A
set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner. The
selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default
settings. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands
on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return
to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.
To Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan
one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has
been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-
5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. If you are pro-
gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alter-
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-3) and locate the Ter-
minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the
inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must
enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
IT3800/3900 User’s Guide
5 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
On page 4-5, 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.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program-
ming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a univer-
sal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the sym-
bols 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 entries.
Other Programming Selections
•
Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the
primary format, scan 0. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or
3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal
Type (refer to the Supported Terminals Chart on page 2-3), Code I.D. and the
length of the format you want to delete. That length data format for that
symbology is deleted and all other formats are unaffected.

Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as read
(including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options. Default =
Data Formatter On.
* Data Formatter On,

Alternate Data Formats
Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are
programmed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the
primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar
codes below. The scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with
the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Secondary Interface
By switching interface cables, the IT3800/3900 scanner can communicate with
a portable data terminal (secondary interface), in addition to the host terminal
(primary interface).
Note: Secondary interfaces do not apply to the IT3800LX-15.
The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.
Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation
In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in
the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all
symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code
128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other
symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per
second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.
* Wand Emulation
Code 39 Format
Wand Emulation
Same Code Format
Note for the 3800PDF model: When the 3800PDF interface is set to wand
emulation, all PDF417 bar code data is transmitted as Code 128. Data from
other symbologies follow the rules described above.
Secondary RS-232 Connection
All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for
correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.
RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary
interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in
primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces.

Manual Trigger, Low Power: The scanner “sleeps,” using only 30 milliamps,
until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner wakes up and
operates at normal power until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low
Power Time Out bar code. Then, the scanner goes to “sleep” again.
Low Power Time Out: Scan the Low Power Time Out bar code to change the
time out duration. Then scan the time out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from
the inside back cover and Save. Default = 2 minutes.
Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save),
scan Discard on the back cover, scan the Low Power Time Out bar code,

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 imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for
minimum and maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code
data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this
function is enabled, the scanner 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 scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar
codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the
appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character
other than a space. Default = Off.

Cloning
The cloning procedure reprograms the software in the “destination” scanner’s
memory with software from the “source” scanner. Before using this procedure,
determine which scanner will be the source (the scanner containing the desired
software). The IT3800/3900 supports cloning and can act as the source device.
The software in the destination scanner will be updated from the source scanner.
The destination scanner device must be the same model as the source.
Procedure
1. Use the cloning cable (42204559-01) to connect the two scanners for
cloning.
2. Connect the destination scanner to one of the 10 pin modular connectors on
the cloning cable.
3. Connect the source scanner (containing the new or updated software) to the
remaining 10 pin modular connector on the cloning cable.
4. Connect the power supply to the 4 pin mini-DIN connector located on the
cloning cable or the scanner cable.
5. Make sure both units are on, and then scan the “Clone Destination” bar
code with the destination scanner.
Clone Destination Bar Code
6. Scan the Clone Source bar code below with the source scanner. The
scanner’s “Good Read” LED begins blinking periodically indicating cloning is
in process.
Clone Source Bar Code
7. When cloning is complete, the destination scanner will double beep. This
procedure takes approximately two minutes.
8. Disconnect the destination scanner from the cloning cable.
9. To clone another scanner, repeat steps 1 through 8.
Caution: DO NOT scan the “source” bar code unless you are going to clone a
scanner. If you mistakenly scan this bar code, reset the scanner by
turning the power off and back on to regain normal operation.

Visual Menu
Visual Menu Introduction
Visual Menu provides the ability to configure a scanning device by connecting
the scanner to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu allows you to download
upgrades to a scanner’s firmware, change programmed parameters, and create
and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Menu, you can even set up the
configuration for a scanner which is not attached to your PC. This enables one
expert user to establish the configuration settings for all the devices your
company uses, then save these configuration files for others. A configuration file
can be e-mailed or, if you prefer, an expert user can create a bar code (or series
of bar codes) that contains all the customized programming parameters, and
mail or fax the bar code(s) to any location. Users in other locations can scan the
bar code(s) to load in the customized parameters.
To communicate with a scanner, Visual Menu requires that the PC have at least
one available serial communication port and an RS-232 cable to connect the port
to the device. A power supply, which plugs into the cable, is also required.
Visual Menu Operations
The Visual Menu program performs the following operations:
•
•
Displays all configuration data, and saves the information to a file on your PC.
Configures the device to meet your specific requirements. Visual Menu has
all the programming parameters which are available via programming bar
codes in this User’s Guide.
•
•
Creates and prints a clone bar code which contains the program and
configuration data from one device. This bar code can then be used to
program additional devices with the same parameters.
Selects a device from a list, then performs offline or online file configuration
for that device.
Temporary Visual Menu Configuration
For quick download communication configuration, scan the Visual Menu bar
code to temporarily configure the scanner for Visual Menu settings.

2. Click on the entry for Visual Menu.
3. When prompted, select Save File, and save the files to the
c:\windows\temp directory.
4. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site.
5. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file.
6. Double click on the Visualmenu.exe file. Follow the screen prompts to
install the Visual Menu program.
7. To start Visual Menu, from the Start Menu click on Programs, Visual Menu,
Visual Menu.
Note: If you wish, you can create a shortcut to the Visual Menu executable on
your desktop.
Upgrading USB Firmware
After you use Visual Menu to upgrade your scanner’s firmware, you need to scan
the following bar code to upgrade the USB firmware. You must have the USB
interface selected. The upgrade takes about 10 seconds, during which a busy
tone is generated.

Utilities
To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies
This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the
decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart on page 4-5 for the single
character code that identifies each symbology.) This action first clears all current
prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all symbologies. This is a
temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is power cycled.

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 IT3800/3900. 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 RS-232 interface (see page 1-8). 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:
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
bold
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix
Tag
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings
are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s
non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table
only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power
cycle. (The non-volatile table allows only a limited number of
writes.)
IT3800/3900 User’s Guide
12 - 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 de-
vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-
ues.)
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be
used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the
subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the
specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the
Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the
sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the
new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and
Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional 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.
12 - 2
IT3800/3900 User’s Guide
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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 #1:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena*.
Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of
values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example #2: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable
(CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example #3: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on.
Example #4: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter:
cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is 60 characters;
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands.
First, the scanner must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning
Serial Menu Command (page 12-8). Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode,
the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate:SYN T CR
Deactivate:SYN U CR
The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command
is sent, or until the serial time out has been reached (see "Serial Trigger Time
Out" on page 3-5 for a description, and the serial command on page 12-8).
Resetting the Factory Settings
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Factory
Default Settings bar code below.
Factory Default Settings
The following chart lists the factory default settings (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 15-1 for further information.
Maintenance
The IT3800/3900 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of
care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic
checks ensure dependable scanner operation:
Cleaning the Scanner’s Window
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the
window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window with
a soft cloth or facial tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water
solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with
water only.
The scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Caution:
!
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s housing is not
water-tight.
Do not use abrasive wipers or tissues on the scanner’s window -
abrasive wipers may scratch the window.
Never use solvents (alcohol or acetone) on the housing or
window - solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the scanner’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner
cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-2.
IT3800/3900 User’s Guide

Replacing the Interface Cable
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the IT3800 scanner’s
handle by a flexible retention tab. The IT3900 connector is located in the pod at
the end of the IT3900 cable. The interface cable is designed to be field
replaceable.
•
•Order replacement cables from Hand Held Products or from an authorized
distributor.
•
•When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
To Replace the Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the side of
the scanner’s handle (IT3800), or on
the underside of the connector pod
(IT3900). This is the cable release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the
small hole and press in. This
Cable
Release
depresses the retention tab, releasing
the connector. Pull the connector out
while maintaining pressure on the
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening
and press firmly. The connector is
keyed to go in only one way, and will
click into place.
Troubleshooting
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide
to try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the red illumination beam on?
If the red illumination beam isn’t illuminated, check that:
1. The cable is connected properly.
14 - 2
IT3800/3900 User’s Guide
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
2. The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
3. The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
1. Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
3. Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press
a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to
output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data
into your application. Refer to "Prefix/Suffix Overview" on page 4-1 for further
information.
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host
screen:
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection
bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
2. The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter
7.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads
the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).
2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan "All
Symbologies" on page 7-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if
page 12-4.
