About the Battery
We recommend use of Hand Held Products Li-ion battery backs. Use
of any non-Hand Held Products battery may result in damage not cov-
ered by the warranty.
!
Power is supplied to the cordless image scanner by a rechargeable battery that
is integrated in the image scanner handle. Each image scanner is shipped with
a battery. (See Product Specifications beginning on page 13-1.)
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the image scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to "2020 LED Sequences and Meaning" on page 3-4
for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
•
Place the image scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate
power supply.
Battery Recommendations
•
Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully
charged for maximum charge capacity.

•
•
The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, and can
also be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this type
of battery.
Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the
battery.
•
•
Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the image
scanner.
•
•
•
Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause
severe personal injury.
Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to
Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection.
Refer to Customer Support on page 15-1 for additional information.
Proper Disposal of the Battery
When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the
battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or haz-
ardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or
dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may
send the imager’s battery to us. (postage paid). The shipper
is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local
laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, mani-
festing, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product
Service Department (page 15-1) for recycling or disposal information. Since
you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more
cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.
Connecting the Base
A base can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, plugged into a USB port, or connected to a
portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode.
Turn off power before connecting the base, then power up the computer once
the base is fully connected. When the base is connected and powered up, put
the image scanner in the base to establish a link. The green LED on the base
flashes to indicate the image scanner’s battery is charging.
Connecting the Base with USB
A base can be connected to the USB port of a computer.

2. Place the image scanner into the base. The image scanner and base link.
3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the image scanner provides
a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the image scanner has
successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red
LED lights, the image scanner has not linked to the base. Refer to page 14-
4 for troubleshooting information.
Communication Between the Cordless System
and the Host
The cordless image scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a
“good read” indication (a green LED on the image scanner and an audible
beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged
receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way
communication between the image scanner and the base.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
The cordless image scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the
base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the
base, the image scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see
if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Reading Techniques
The image scanner has a view finder that projects a bright green aiming beam
that corresponds to the image scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming
beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any
direction for a good read.

Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the image scanner is closer to the code and
larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or ele-
ments (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars
or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or
multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the image scanner at an
appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming
beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., lami-
nated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted
reflection.

232-based COM Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will
need to download a driver from the Honeywell website (www.honeywell.com/
tosh computers recognize the image scanner as a USB CDC class device and
automatically uses a class driver. Scanning the code below changes the termi-
nal ID to 130.

RS-232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time-Out
expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS-232
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 RS-232
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).

RS-232 Handshaking
RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the image scan-
ner using software commands from the host device. CTS/RTS operates in
mode 2. When this feature is turned Off, no data flow control is used. When
Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by
sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the image scanner. To resume
transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmis-
sion continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = Off.

Host ACK Selection
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject
incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions. These applica-
tions require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted
respond to commands from the host system.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than
9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
•
The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS-232 (terminal ID =
000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
•
•
•
RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
Host ACK must be set to On (page 2-19).
The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data,
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape
commands to the image scanner.
2 - 17
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Escape commands are addressed to the image scanner via “Application Work
Groups.” Once a command is sent, all image scanners in a group respond to
that command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each image
scanner is assigned to its own group in Host ACK mode.
The commands to which the image scanner responds are listed on page 2-20.
The <ESC> is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y <ESC> x, where “y” is
the application work group number, “<ESC> x” is the escape command, and the
comma is the terminator, which is required.
Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An
example of a command string is listed below.
0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6,
The above example will make an image scanner in application work group zero
beep low, then medium, then high.
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:
•
The image scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/host system.
No audible or visual indication is emitted until the image scanner receives an
escape command. The image scanner read illumination goes out when
there’s a successful read.
•
•
Image scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is
received from the host system (via the base) or 2) the image scanner times
out.
Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the image scanner is ready to
scan again, and the process repeats.
A time-out occurs if the imager does not receive a valid escape command within
10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by a triple beep. If a time-out occurs, the
operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the
imager was not received.

Wand Emulation
Wand Emulation Connection
The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to
change the terminal ID only, without changing any other image scanner set-
tings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to pro-
gram your image scanner to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug
& Play bar codes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal
ID. Please refer to Wand Emulation Plug & Play on page 2-2 for further infor-
mation.
In Wand Emulation mode, the image 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.

Basic System Operation
Cordless Base
The cordless base provides the link between the cordless image scanner and
the host system. The base contains an interface assembly and an RF commu-
nication module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange
between the cordless image scanner and the interface assembly. The control
assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/
receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software
activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics),
and data translation required for the host system.
The base also is the image scanner’s battery charger. Refer to "Base Charge
Mode" on page 3-3 for additional information.
RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
The cordless system uses a two-way Bluetooth radio to transmit and receive
data between the image scanner and the base. Designed for point-to-point and
multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free
ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a
radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system
highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant
to noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides a communi-
cation range of 33 feet (10m) between the image scanner and base/Bluetooth
adapter, depending on the environment.
Cordless Image Scanner
The cordless image scanner enables fast and accurate bar code scanning
using a non-contact area image scanner.
The image scanner is comprised of an area image engine, a decode/control
assembly, and an RF communication module. The image engine performs the
bar code image illumination and sensing. The decode/control assembly coordi-
nates the central communication activities including: capturing and decoding
the bar code image data, performing software activities (parameter menuing,
visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data translation required for
the host system. The RF communication module performs the data exchange
between the image scanner and the base.

System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ-
ate an image scanner to a base, as you move an image scanner out of range,
bring an image scanner back in range, or swap image scanners between two
cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system oper-
ating conditions.
Linking Process
Once an image scanner is placed into the base, the image scanner’s battery
charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the image scan-
Image Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless image scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is
not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the image scanner can’t communi-
cate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the image scanner is
out of range and you scan a bar code, the image scanner issues a triple beep
indicating no communication with the base. In addition, your image scanner
and base can sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. Refer to "Out-
of-Range Alarm" on page 3-20.
Image Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The image scanner re-links if the image scanner or the base have been reset or
the image scanner comes back into range. If the image scanner re-links, you
will hear a single chirp when the re-linking process (uploading of the parameter
table) is complete.
Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation Mode
On
The image scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C.
symbols, others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base
when back in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode,
but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communica-
tion is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the image scanner pro-
duces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.

Base Charge Mode
In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the cir-
cuitry to work. There are three methods during which power can be supplied to
the base:
1:9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector
2:12VDC host power source only
3:5VDC host power source only

Note: If you attach the 4820 system to a host with a 12V power source, the 12V
host is dominant; the system pulls power from the host and not the 9V
power supply. For example, if you have a host system with a 12 volt
available to the base, it will supersede the 9V power supply. The 9V
supply is not needed for 12V host applications and only serves as a
backup if the system goes down.

The 4820 is capable of working in single image scanner mode, multiple image
scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices, other than the 2020 base.
Unlinking the Image Scanner
If the base has an image scanner linked to it, that image scanner must be
unlinked before a new image scanner can be linked. Once the previous image
scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base. To unlink an
image scanner from the base, scan the Unlink Image Scanner bar code below.

To use a different image scanner, you need to unlink the original image scanner
by scanning the Unlink Image Scanner bar code. (See "Image Scanner
Modes" on page 3-5.)
Open Link Mode - Single Image Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image scan-
ner are not linked. By placing an image scanner into the base, they establish a
link. Placing a different image scanner into the base establishes a new link and
the old image scanner is unlinked. Each time an image scanner is placed into
the base, it becomes the linked image scanner; the old image scanner is
unlinked.

If you need to replace a broken or lost image scanner that is linked to a base,
scan the Override Locked Image Scanner bar code below with a new image
scanner and place that image scanner in the base. The locked link will be over-
ridden; the broken or lost image scanner’s link with the base will be removed,
and the new image scanner will be linked.

Image Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each image scanner you are using. When you have
multiple image scanners linked to one base, you may want to name each image
scanner so you will be able to control the image scanner receiving imaging com-
mands sent from the base.
The default name for a 4820 is “4820,” and ”4820i” for a 4820i. If you have more
than one image scanner linked to a base, and they all have the default names,
the first image scanner linked to the base receives commands. You can change
the name of an image scanner using a serial command (refer to "Image
Scanner Name" on page 12-9) or using a bar code command. To change the
name serially, unlink all except one of the image scanners from the base. Send
“:4820:BT_NAMname.” or “:4820i:BT_NAMname.”, where name is the new
image scanner name. If you wish to change the names of additional image
scanners, re-link them one at a time and repeat the “:4820:BT_NAMname.” or
“:4820i:BT_NAMname.” command for each image scanner.

Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot
send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the bar code
below and scan a number for the image scanner name. For example, if you had
7 image scanners to one base, scan the bar code below with the first image
scanner, scan the 1 bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover
of this manual and scan Save. Then scan the Reset bar code and wait for the
scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next bar code. Repeat that
process for image scanner number 2, 3, 4, etc.
Image Scanner Name
If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the image scanner, create a Code
128 bar code containing “~BT_NAMname.” followed by a FNC3 character (hexi-
decimal 83), where name is the new image scanner name. Scan the Reset bar

Application Work Groups
Your cordless system can have up to 7 image scanners linked to one base. You
can also have up to 7 work groups. If you want to have all of the image scan-
If you want each image scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume,
prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each image scanner to its
own unique work group and may program each image scanner independently.
For example, you might want to have multiple work groups in a retail/warehouse
application where you need to have different data appended to bar codes used
in the warehouse area versus the retail area. You could assign all the image
scanners in the retail area to one work group and those in the warehouse to
another. Consequently, any desired changes to either the retail or warehouse
area would apply to all image scanners in that particular work group. Visual
Xpress (page 11-5) makes it easy for you to program your system for use with
multiple image scanners and multiple work groups.
The image scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the
image scanner is connected or reconnected to a base, the image scanner is
updated with the latest settings from the base for its work group. The image
scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base. If an
image scanner is removed from one base and placed into another base, it will
be updated with the new base settings for whatever work group that the image
scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the image scanner was in
work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the sec-
ond base with the associated settings.

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the image scanner’s field of view to make sure the
image scanner reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance,
if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the
desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Aimer
Delay, page 4-12, for the most error-free operation in applications where
multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and
Centering features, the image scanner can emulate the operation of older
systems, such as linear laser bar code image scanners.)
In the example below, the gray area is the full image scanner 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
The default centering window is a 128x96 pixel area in the center of the image
scanner’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
image scanner’s field of view, which is 640 by 480 pixels.

symbols, as well as larger Data Matrix and QR Code symbols.
Quick Omnidirectional
Preferred Symbology
Note: This selection does not apply to OCR.
The 4820/4820i 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 imager 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
imager ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on
page 4-16) 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
imager will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is
no bar code in the imager’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data
is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the image
scanner decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the image scanner will not transmit the output data to the host
device.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is
turned on.
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the image scanner 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 image scanner to the Universal
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 4-
19).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-
ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal num-
ber, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any
programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length
(unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes, page A-7, find the Hex
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Program-
ming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes,
but you want the image scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and
Code 93 3rd, as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
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:

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the image scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold
the trigger, aiming the image scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique
symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The image scanner
attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When
this programming selection is turned Off, the image scanner will only read the
symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.

No Read
With No Read turned On, the image scanner notifies you if a code cannot be
read. If using a QuickView Scan Data Window, an “NR” appears when a code
cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear. Default =
Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”
you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter (page 6-5). The hex
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.
Print Weight
Print Weight is used to adjust the way the image scanner reads Matrix symbols.
If an image scanner will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols,
then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently
light printing, a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the Set Print Weight
bar code, set the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from the inside back
cover, then scanning Save. Default = 4.

Video Reverse is used to allow the image scanner to read bar codes that are
inverted. The Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. If
additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the
menu bar codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed. Default = Off.
Note: Images downloaded from the unit will not be 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 break-
down of a message string:
Prefix
1-11
alpha numeric &
control characters
Scanned Data
Suffix
variable length
1-11
alpha numeric &
control characters
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 Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar
Codes on page A-7, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
•
•
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
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.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-4).
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 to
5 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. For example, for Code 128,
Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
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 Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar
Codes on page A-7, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol-
ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is
deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),
all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
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.

Data Formatting
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner’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 do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands
on page 6-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the image scanner. They are stacked
in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the
order in which formats are applied:
1. Specific 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 factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 6-5.
To Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 6-5).
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 image scanner reverts to the primary data format. See
page 6-6.) If you are programming the 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 the
alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Supported Terminals (page 2-8) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back
cover to program the image scanner for your terminal ID (you must
enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.

All Symbologies
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your image scanner,
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 sym-
bol for that particular symbology.
All Symbologies On
All Symbologies Off
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 image scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value
for minimum and maximum length to force the image scanner to read fixed
length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 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,

Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the
image scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adja-
cent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages
are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

this function is enabled, the image scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that
start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immedi-
ately transmit the data. The image scanner stores the data in the order in which

describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current
recommendation to use Code 128 due to its high degree of security and its
space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation
of neighboring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood
product label. Use the bar codes below to turn concatenation on or off. Default

Imaging Commands
The image scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates,
and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the
imager performs these functions.
Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the imager on a
single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture
is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to
permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see
Chapter 12). When the serial default command is used, that selection becomes
the new, permanent setting for the imager.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If addi-
tional modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers
to that command. For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap com-
mand, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T,
you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
terminal.
To add a command to a sequence, each new command is separated with a
semicolon. For example, to add the Image Ship command to the above
sequence, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 8-2)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 8-5)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 8-15)
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 imager from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is
recommended that you position your imager 4-6" (122-183 cm) away
from the image/object you are capturing.

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
2P
Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and
results in a visually optimized image.
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 imager, and has no auto-exposure.
B - Beeper
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.
0B
1B
No beep (default)
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
1T
Takes image immediately (default)
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 imager is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is preferred
when the imager is handheld. LED State is not available when using Decoding
Style (0P).
0L
1L
LEDs off (default)
LEDs on
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 imager 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)

G - Gain
Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain
modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the
gain, the noise in an image is also amplified.

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

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 imager 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)

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP
Image Ship - IMGSHP
An image is taken whenever the button is pressed, or when the Image Snap
(IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory.
You can “ship” the image by using the IMGSHP command.
The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that is transmit-
ted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with a num-
ber and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be
appended to the IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and docu-
ment image filtering:

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.

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.

Image Size Compatibility
If you prefer that an image ship returns images at the sensor’s native resolution
(752x480 pixels for the 5X00 engine, 640x480 pixels for the 4X00 engine), scan
the Native Resolution code. If you have an image scanner with a 4X00 image
engine and have designed applications that expect an image ship to return
exactly 640x480 pixels, scan the Force VGA Resolution bar code. Refer to
"Show Software Revision" on page 11-2 for information on determining the
engine in your unit. Default = Force VGA 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
8 - 15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
The following IMGBOX example was executed and viewed using QuickView
ware Downloads. Select 4820 from the Products list, then select QuickView
Software Utility.
Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the
aimer is centered over the signature capture area and the trigger is pressed. A
single beep is emitted, indicating that the imager 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 aimer with the signature area (not with the bar
code), then press the trigger.
Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push:
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 imager.
Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in
memory. Modifiers always begin with a number and end with a letter (case
insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX com-
mand.
Note: The IMGBOX command will return a NAK unless a window size (width and
height) are specified. See H - Height of Signature Capture Area (page 8-
18) and W - Width of Signature Capture Area (page 8-19).

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area
The resolution is the number of pixels that the imager 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 imager
automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit. For
example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.5. Set to zero when using the
A and B modifiers (see A - Output Image Width and B - Output Image
Height on page 8-17).
Example of Resolution set to 0R:

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:
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:
RF Default Imaging Device
The image scanner supports imaging command processing (IMGSHP, IMG-
applications are able to perform imaging functions as if they were communicat-
ing directly with an image scanner. To accomplish this, the image scanner uses
a menu command called RF_DID (RF Default Imaging Device). RF_DID is the
name of the image scanner (BT_NAM) that is to receive imaging commands.
The default for RF_DID is “*”indicating that imaging commands are to be sent to
all associated image scanners. Change this setting to RF_DIDimage
scanner_name to ensure that they are sent to a particular image scanner.
Refer to "Image Scanner Report" on page 11-3 to generate a report containing

OCR Programming
Use this section to program the image scanner for optical character recognition
(OCR). The image scanner reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.
applications, create an OCR template to match the data and print an OCR
check character.
The image scanner will read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency Serial Number
(Money), MICR E-13B, and SEMI Font.
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for
the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 9-1 for pro-
gramming codes that will enable your image scanner to read OCR-A, OCR-B,
U.S. Currency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts. See "OCR Templates" on page 9-
3 if you want to create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the
length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your image scanner.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR
reading.
OCR Fonts
Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the image scanner, so
the image scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite
bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have cre-
ated are erased. The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future
use of the OCR On codes listed below.

OCR
Note: OCR symbols can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use
Working Orientation, page 4-22, if your OCR symbols will not usually be
presented upright to the image scanner.
Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.
OCR-A On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-A font. The default set-
ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR
template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see
Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).

OCR Templates
You can create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length
and content of OCR strings that will be read with your image scanner. There
are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You
can create a template for a single format, you can string together several for-
mats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable. These choices
are described in detail below.
Creating an OCR Template
A single template allows you to program the image scanner to read any combi-
nation of characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the
Template Characters table below.

represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash.
Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.
To Add an OCR Template
1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read (page 9-1).
2. Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13).
3. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you
template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template
would be:
dddddddd
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
OCR Template symbol (page 9-13), then scan the d from the OCR
Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR
Template (page 9-13). This would let you read any string of eight digits, for
example:
37680981

Character Match Sequences
This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in
a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the
required position (template characters are always lower case).
(ABC), followed by three variable digits. The template would be:
dddABCddd
Using Visual Xpress (see page 11-5), you can enter the template as shown
above, enclosing the whole string between quotes: “dddABCddd”.
You may also create this character match sequence by scanning bar codes.
OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan
414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”),
and scan the d three more times. Scan Save OCR Template, page 9-13.
This would let you read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then any string of
three digits, for example:
551ABC983
(The above OCR sample is OCR-A. You must enable the OCR-A font (page
9-1) in order to read it.)
Adding Spaces
You may also need to put spaces in your template. A space is seen as a
character, therefore you can use the directions for Character Match
Sequences, above, to add spaces to a string. (The hex value for a space is
20.)
4. Exit OCR Template Editor
Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template
exits without saving any OCR Template changes.
Stringing Together Multiple Formats
(Creating “Or” Statements)
You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this,
you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read
optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination
of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template
would be:
ddddddddtddddlldd
9 - 5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming
Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or”
statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template.
Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan d two more times. Scan Save
OCR Template (page 9-13). This would let you read either type of format,
for example:
99028650
or
9902XZ50
You can string together as many templates as you need.
OCR User-Defined Variables
You can create up to two of your own user variables for an OCR template.
These variables will represent any OCR readable characters. The user-defined
sent the letters “A,” “B,” or “C.” The template for this user-defined variable
would be:
ABC
Using Visual Xpress (see page 11-5), you can enter the string as shown above
into the “G variable” text box. You must enclose the strings between quotes:
“ABC”.
You may also create this user-defined variable by scanning bar codes. Scan
the Enter User-Defined Variable g symbol (page 9-13). Then scan 414243
from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), Scan Save
OCR Template, page 9-13. This will let you read either A or B or C in any posi-
tion where you place the g in the template. For example, you could create the
following template:
ddddddggg
(Using Visual Xpress, you must enter “ddddddggg” in the Template text box.)
This template would then let you read data that began with six digits, and had
654321ABC
or
654321BAC
or
654321CCC
(The above OCR sample is OCR-A. You must enable the OCR-A font (page 9-
1) in order to read it.)

Reading Multi-Row OCR
The image scanner is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text.
Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended.
Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they
would be entered using QuickView.
Example: You need to read multiple rows of OCR-A data as shown below:
12345678
ABCDEFGH
First, enable the OCR-A font. To read the first row of OCR data, you would
program the following template:
OCRTMP"dddddddd".
This template is the default OCR template. If you wanted to read the second
line of data, you would use the following template:
OCRTMP"llllllll".
To read both lines of OCR at one time, use the variable r to indicate the start
of a new row. All the other templating variables for the individual rows work
the same as previously described. For instance, in the above example, you
would use the following template to read both rows:
OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllll".
To read the three rows below, you would use the template command
"OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllllrlllldddd".
12345678
ABCDEFGH
ABCD1234
OCR Check Character
You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the
security of your OCR application. The image scanner can be programmed for
almost any type of check character. A number of presets are provided for com-
mon check character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).
Scan the OCR Modulo 10 or OCR Modulo 36 Check Character bar code to
specify the type of check character used in the OCR strings you’re scanning.
The image scanner will then only read OCR character strings with a valid check

with a c.
Example: You need to read any combination of seven digits, with a modulo 10
check character in the eighth position. The template would be:
dddddddc
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Modulo
10 Check Character symbol. Then scan the Enter OCR Template symbol,
and scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart seven times, and scan the
c once. Scan Save OCR Template (page 9-13). This template will let you
read any combination of six digits with a correct check character after. (If the
check character is invalid, data is discarded.) For example, the following
string could be scanned:
01234569
and the output would be: 0123456
OCR Modulo 10 Check Character
Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 10 check-
sum of the digits 0 through 9.
OCR Modulo 10 Check Character
OCR Modulo 36 Check Character

OCR User-Defined Check Character
You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application.
Each character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its
proper order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value

for the calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted,
but the image scanner also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking
schemes.
Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the
following 11 characters in order:
0123456789X
Also enter the OCR template:
dddddddc
Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string:
6512351X
The image scanner performs the following check character computation:
(6 + 5 + 1 + 2 +3 + 5 + 1 + X) modulo 11 = 0
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader
outputs the message: 6512351
Programming a User-Defined Check Character
2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding
hex value from the Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes on page A-7.
Use the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual to
scan the two symbols for each hex value.
3. Scan the Save bar code on the inside back cover.
Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on
page 9-9, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Check
Character bar code on page 9-9, then scan the following hex values
in order:
3031323334353637383958
After you enter all the desired hex values, scan the Save bar code on the
inside back cover of this manual.

Weighting Options
By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use
one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if
two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator
keys in data.
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character
Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,
the image scanner applies a multiplier of 1, then 3, then 1, then 3, and so on.
This is the checking scheme used in many EAN•UCC symbologies, including
U.P.C. and Interleaved 2 of 5 (when a check digit is invoked). To apply this
weighting scheme, set the OCR check character to “0123456789x3x1” or scan
the following symbol:
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10
Check Character
Example: Scan the 3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also
enter the OCR template:
dddddddc
Then scan the string below:
01234565
The reader performs the check character computation below:
(0 x 3 + 1 x 1 + 2 x 3 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 3 + 5 x 1 + 6 x 3 + 5 x 1) modulo 10 = 0
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader
outputs the message: 0123456
2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character
Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,
the image scanner applies a multiplier of 1, then 2, then 1, then 2, and so on.
When the result of the multiplication is greater than 9, add both digits to the run-
ning sum. This is often referred to as the LUHN formula. One common applica-
tion of the LUHN formula is validate credit card numbers. This is the modulo 10

checking scheme used in MSI Code and in Code 32 Pharmaceutical (PARAF).
To apply this weighting scheme, set the OCR check character to
"0123456789x2x1" or scan the following symbol:
2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10
Check Character
Example: Scan the 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also
enter the OCR template:
ddddddc
Then scan the string below:
0128454
The reader performs the check character computation below:
(0 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 2 x 1 + 8 x 2 + 4 x 1 + 5 x 2 + 4 x 1) modulo 10
= (0 + 2 + 2 + (1 + 6) + 4 + (1 + 0) + 4) modulo 10
= 0
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader
outputs the message: 012845
OCR ISBN Application Example
One application of OCR is to read the ISBN characters typically encoded using
the OCR-A or OCR-B font. This is especially useful when the ISBN number is
not encoded in an EAN-13 bar code. The following example shows how to con-
figure the image scanner to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan. After you
ber or the additional data below it, depending on the line of text at which the
image scanner is aimed.
1. Scan the OCR-B On bar code on page 9-2.
2. Program the user-defined variable “g” to comprise the ten digits plus the
dash:
9 - 11
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
0123456789-
3. In Japan, it is common for two fields to follow the ISBN number, the three
digit price field, and the four digit price field. The first field typically starts
with a “C” (uppercase c), followed by four digits. The second field typically
starts with a “P” or a yen symbol, followed by three or four digits, followed by
an “E.” Program the user-defined variable “h” to comprise the “P” and the
yen symbol (represented by a backslash).
P\
4. Scan the symbol below to set up three templates to handle the ISBN
number, the three digit price field, and the four digit price field.
5. Finally, set up the ISBN check digit, which is a special position-weighted
modulo 11 checksum. The image scanner automatically invokes the ISBN
checksum for template rows that are:
1.) at least fourteen characters long,
2.) whose first four characters are the letters “ISBN,”
3.) whose last character is a check character, and
4.) when the modulo 11 check character “0123456789X” is programmed.
Please note that all these commands can be combined into a single serial pro-
gramming command:
OCRENA2,TMP”ISBNggggggggggggctCdddd hdddEtCdddd
hddddE”,GPG”0123456789-”,GPH”P\”,CHK”0123456789X”.
These commands can be encoded into the following Aztec Code symbol:

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, beginning on page A-1) 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.

Visual Xpress Introduction
Note: Software revision 31205480-118 or higher is backward compatible with
all non-advanced illumination units. This new revision of software can be
flashed in non-advanced illumination units for full backward compatibility.
Software 31205480-090 or lower cannot be flashed into units with
advanced illumination. Visual Xpress will display an incompatibility error
message.
Non-Advanced
Illumination Unit
Advanced
Illumination Unit
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that
can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change pro-
grammed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an
imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar
code to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a
physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an exter-
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a
USB cable is required.
Visual Xpress Operations
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a win-
dow. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive
imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-
played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The
imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-
ries. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node
in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-
hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular cate-

gory. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration
parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as
required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them
to a dcf file.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Imager can perform.
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-
played in an image window. Images captured from the imager can be saved to
files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the
image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images.
Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the imager.
Installing Visual Xpress from the Web
Note: Visual Xpress requires .NET software. If .NET is not installed on your PC,
you will be prompted to install it during the Visual Xpress installation.

Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will pro-
gram the image scanner. 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 2-2). The following
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
[option]
{Data}
bold
An optional part of a command.
Alternatives in a command.
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […]
Storage
Prefix
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name:
To send information to the image scanner (with the base connect-
ed to host), use :4820: or :4820i: The default factory setting for a
4820 image scanner is 4820, and 4820i for a 4820i image scanner.
This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which ac-
cepts alphanumeric values. If the name is not known, a wildcard
(*) can be used :*:.
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to
image scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the
base and not to the image scanner.
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.
12 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s
non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table
only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power
cycle.
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.)
:Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the image scanner.
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be
used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the
subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the
specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only
the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the
sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the
new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag
and Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional com-
mand requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous
commands by a semicolon (;).

Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the
allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a
minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 charac-
ters.
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;
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.
Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the image scanner with serial trigger com-
mands. First, the image scanner must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode
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 image 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 "Read
Time-Out (Serial Trigger Mode)" on page 4-4 for a description, and the serial
command on page 12-12).

Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These ser-
vices are to be performed only by an authorized service center (see Customer
Support on page 15-1).
Maintenance
The cordless system provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of
care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic
checks ensure dependable operation:
Cleaning the Device
Reading performance may degrade if the image scanner’s window is not clean.
If the window is visibly dirty, or if the image scanner isn’t operating well, clean
the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild deter-
gent- water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tis-
sue dampened with water only.
The image scanner and base’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Caution:
!
Do not submerge the image scanner in water. The image
scanner’s housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the image
scanner’s window – abrasive wipes may scratch the
the housing or window – solvents may damage the finish
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the base’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of dam-
age. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with image scan-
ner operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replacement.
Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-2.

Replacing the 2020 Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the base’s cable from the
terminal or computer.
3. Turn the base upside down.
4. Pull the connector out while
maintaining pressure on the
connector release clip.
5. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening
and press firmly. The connector is
keyed to go in only one way, and will
click into place.
Changing the Image
Scanner Battery:
1. Remove the screw on the end
cap. (For a 4820, use a Phil-
lips screwdriver. For a 4820i,
loosen the thumbwheel screw
by hand, or use a flat screw-
driver or hex wrench.)
2. Remove the battery from the
handle.
3. Insert replacement battery.
4. Replace end cap and screw.

Assembling the Battery Charge Sleeve Kit
Attach Tether
1. Use the phillips screw to connect the metal
ring of the coiled tether to the battery charge
sleeve.
2. Peel the backing from the
metal plate on the coiled
tether and affix the metal
plate to the back of the
2020 base.
Note: For best adhesion, allow
a 24 hour cure time
before placing stress on
the metal plate.
Remove Battery
Remove the end cap of the image scanner (turn
the thumbwheel or use a hex wrench).
Insert Battery into Charge Sleeve
1. Place the squared-off end of the battery
into the sleeve and slide it until it stops.
The battery contacts should be show-
ing through the small rectangular open-
ing in the battery sleeve.
2. Press other end of the battery until you
feel a click.

Charge Battery
With the battery inside the battery charge
sleeve, place the battery charge sleeve into
the base with the battery contacts going in
first and facing up.
Troubleshooting the Base
Note: Please visit the Services and Support section of our website
image scanner and the base.
If your base is not functioning properly, review the following troubleshooting
guidelines to try to isolate the problem.
Is the red LED on?
If the red LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
•
The power cable is connected properly and there is power at the power
source.
•
The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the green LED on?
If the green LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
•
•
•
•
The image scanner is correctly placed in the base.
There is external power or 12 volt host power.
Charge mode is turned on. (See "Base Charge Mode" on page 3-3)
The battery is not bad or deeply discharged. In some cases, the image
scanner’s battery may trickle charge to bring it into an acceptable level and
then transition to a normal charge cycle.
Troubleshooting the Image Scanner
Note: Make sure that your image scanner’s battery is charged.
Please visit the Services and Support section of our website
image scanner and the base.
Is the image scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the image scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:

•
Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
Are enabled in the base to which the image scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered into the application?
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 image scanner
to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the
data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 5-1 for fur-
ther information.
Does the image scanner read the bar code incorrectly?
If the image scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on
the host screen:
•
The base may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the base with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection bar
code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
•
The base may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the base with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 7.
The image scanner won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the image 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 image scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All
Symbologies on page 7-2.

tricity or electro-static discharge, (D) operation under conditions beyond the
specified operating parameters, or (E) repair or service of the product by any-
one other than HII or its authorized representatives.
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
authorized service center within the Warranty Period and HII determines to its
satisfaction that the product is defective due to defects in materials or workman-
ship, 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,

TRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT PAID TO HII FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIA-

QUENTIAL 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

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

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band
Network Activity
The settings described below can help you customize the re-linking behavior of
the cordless linear imaging system to obtain the best compromise between con-
venience and low interference.
Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless
networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.
Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the image scanner automatically
begins the re-link process when a loss of connection is detected. When the
Auto Reconnect On bar code is scanned, the image scanner begins the re-link
process immediately, without user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.

Maximum Link Attempts
scanner tries to form a connection with a base unit or PC. During the connec-
tion setup process, the image scanner transmits in order to search for and con-
nect to a base unit. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could
interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is
limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the
image scanner will not attempt to reconnect to the base unit. Pressing the trig-
ger or placing the image scanner in the cradle resets the attempt count and the
image scanner will again try to link to the base unit. When set to zero, the
image scanner will try to link until the Power Time-Out Timer setting (see page
4-4) expires.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of
attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to
save the setting. Default = 0.
Maximum Link Attempts
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between re-link attempts. An attempt to
link an image scanner to a base unit typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the
time when the image scanner is actually attempting to contact base unit. Relink
Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the
end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of image
scanners connected to a base unit. An extra 7 seconds may be required
when a connection is successful.

Relink Time-Out
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values:
When the image scanner goes out of range, the image scanner repeatedly
attempts to connect to base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5
seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the
image scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting:
When the image scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to
the base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time
followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2
minutes, the image scanner stops trying to connect to the base unit, but retains
any bar codes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the
image scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Other values at default setting:
When the image scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to re-link. When
the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit. Each
