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.

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.

Programming the Interface  
Introduction  
Chapter 1 describes connecting the base to the computer with the appropriate  
interface cable. This chapter describes how to program your system for the  
desired interface.  
Programming the Interface - Plug and Play  
Plug and Play bar codes provide instant image scanner set up for commonly  
used interfaces.  
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have  
the interface in effect.  
Keyboard Wedge Connection  
If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles key-  
board wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the bar code below. Key-  
board wedge is the default interface.  
Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.  
IBM PC AT and Compatibles  
with CR suffix  
Laptop Direct Connect  
For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows opera-  
tion of the image scanner in parallel with the integral keyboard. The following  
Laptop Direct Connect bar code selects terminal ID 03, programs a carriage  
return (CR) suffix and turns on Emulate External Keyboard (page 2-13).

Wand Emulation Plug & Play  
In Wand Emulation mode, the image scanner decodes the bar code then sends  
data in the same format as a scanner image scanner. The Code 39 Format  
The Same Code Format transmits U.P.C., EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of  
5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39.  
The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Code 39 Format bar code below sets the  
terminal ID to 61. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Same Code Format bar  
code sets the terminal ID to 64. These Plug & Play bar codes also set the  
Transmission Rate to 25 inches per second, Output Polarity to black high, and  
Idle State to high. (If you want to change the terminal ID only, without changing  
any other image scanner settings, please refer to Programming the Interface -  
Terminal ID Method on page 2-6.)

Keyboard Modifiers  
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and  
Turbo Mode.  
Control + ASCII Mode On: The imager sends key combinations for ASCII con-  
trol characters for values 00-1F. Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard  
country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not  
support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode.

RS-232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity  
Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an applica-  
tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and  
punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use of the full  
ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.  
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.

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  
from the image scanner. Turning on Host ACK configures the image scanner to  
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.

The Same Code Format transmits U.P.C., EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of  
5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. 2D sym-  
bologies are converted to Code 128.

Basic System Operation  
Cordless Base  
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  
The chart below describes each selection by condition.

Using a slow charge rate draws less current (power) from the input power  
source when the battery is mostly discharged.  
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.  
Scan the appropriate bar code for your application. Default = Automatic.

Image Scanner Modes  
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.  
Unlink Image Scanner  
Single Image Scanner Operation  
There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link  
Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the  
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one  
mode to another. Default = Locked Link Mode.

Locked Link Mode - Single Image Scanner  
If you link an image scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other image  
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the  
base. If you do place a different image scanner into the base, it will charge the  
* Locked Link Mode  
(Single Image Scanner)  
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.  
Open Link Mode  
(Single Image Scanner)  
Override Locked Image Scanner  
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.

Multiple Image Scanner Operation  
Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image  
scanners to one base. You cannot join an 8th image scanner until you  
unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of  
range.  
To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the bar code  
below. Once you scan this bar code, the image scanner is unlinked from the  
base and must be placed into the base to re-link.  
Multiple Image Scanner Operation  
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.

To rename image scanners with sequential, numeric names, scan the bar  
codes below. Scan the Reset code after each name change and wait for the  
scanner to re-link to the base before scanning another bar code to rename the  
next image scanner.

0002  
0003  
0004  
0005

Reset  
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

code (page 3-8 or on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this man-  
ual). You may use Bar Code Builder, which is included with QuickView. Refer to  
QuickView on page 11-6 for instructions about downloading QuickView from the  
Honeywell website: www.honeywell.com/aidc.  
Image Scanner Report  
Scan the bar code below to generate a report for the connected image scan-  
ners. The report indicates the port, work group, image scanner name, and  
address.  
Image Scanner Report  
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-  
ners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than 1 work group.  
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.

to perform a reset and become unlinked. The image scanner must be  
placed in its base to re-establish the link before any setup codes are  
entered. Refer to "Image Scanner Modes" on page 3-5 for additional  
information.  
Standard Product Default Settings:  
Current Application Group  
Note: If your image scanner is in multiple image scanner mode and you scan  
either the current or all application group default bar code, you will hear  
up to 30 seconds of beeping while all image scanners are re-linked from  
the base and the settings are defaulted to * settings. The default interface  
is keyboard wedge and the default image scanner mode is single image  
scanner locked link mode.

Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power  
You can activate the image 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 image scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until  
the trigger is released.  
When in serial mode, the image scanner scans until a bar code has been read  
or until the deactivate command is sent. The image scanner can also be set to  
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out (Serial  
Trigger Mode), which follows).

Scan Stand Mode  
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan  
Stand symbol, below. When a different code is presented, the image scanner is  
triggered to read the new code.  
Note: The image scanner automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the  
lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand  
symbol. When a symbol is presented, the image scanner’s light levels  
adjust to the saved setting (see LED Power Level on page 4-10). This  
mode requires at least 50 lux of ambient light to operate correctly.

Scan Stand Symbol  
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol  
on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand  
symbol is covered, the image scanner turns the LEDs on at the configured  
power level (default setting is high) and attempts to find and decode bar codes  
in its field of view.

Presentation Sensitivity  
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the  
image scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity,  
scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20)  
from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is  
the least sensitive. Default = 1.  
Sensitivity  
Streaming PresentationMode  
When in Streaming Presentation mode, the imager’s aimer goes out after a  
short time, but the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously  
search for bar codes.  
Streaming Presentation Mode  
When using Preferred Symbology (page 4-15), a lower priority symbol must be  
centered on the aiming pattern to be read in Streaming Presentation Mode.  
Note: Streaming Presentation Mode applies only to advanced illumination units.

Image Snap and Ship  
Image Snap and Ship tells the imager to take a picture (rather than read a bar  
code) when the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to  
the host system as a jpeg file by default. To revert to bar code reading, you  
must change to a different trigger mode (see Serial Trigger Modes beginning on  
page 4-4).  
Image Snap and Ship  
Hands Free Time-Out  
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”  
modes. If the image scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode,  
the image scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the  
image scanner should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free  
Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further  
trigger pulls) the image scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.  
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration  
(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default =  
5,000 ms.  
Hands Free Time-Out  
Reread Delay  
This sets the time period before the image 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.

If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 4-12), the  
aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power  
Level.  
Note: If you scan the Off bar code, both the aimer and illumination lights turn  
off, making it impossible to scan bar codes in low light. To turn the LED  
Power Level back on, move to a brightly lit area and scan either the Low  
or the High bar code below.

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.

If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output  
by the image scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the  
image scanner only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify  
using the Top, Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes.

Decode Search Mode  
There are two selectable decode (scanning) modes:  
Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center  
of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all  
symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional  
search is very thorough which may slow performance time.  
Note: This search mode is the default setting for the image scanner.

Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for bar code features  
around the center region of an image. This mode quickly reads all symbologies  
in any orientation. The Quick Omnidirectional mode may miss some off-center  
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.  
Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default =

want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan  
the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).  
If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan the 2

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  
values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or  
clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.  
Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.  
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code  
I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use  
the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.  
To Add an Output Sequence  
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 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

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.

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

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.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage  
Delays  
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.  
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of  
data, increasing data integrity.  
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99  
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.  
Intercharacter Delay  
An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the  
transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter

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.

Step 4. Code I.D.  
In the Symbology Chart, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to  
which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that  
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart  
Step 5. Length  
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable  
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the  
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50  
characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating  
all lengths.)  
Step 6. Editor Commands  
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 6-2). Scan the symbols  
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric char-  
acters may be entered for each symbology data format.  
manual to save your entries.  
Other Programming Selections  
Clear One Data Format  
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the  
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of  
this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending  
on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code  
I.D. (see Supported Terminals on page 2-8), and the bar code data length for  
the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain  
unaffected.  
Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual  
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.  
Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual  
This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

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,  
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.

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard  
for communicating critical blood information in a uniform manner. The use of  
ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification  
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  
=Off.

Code 128 Code Page  
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data  
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar  
code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the  
one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, scan the bar code below,  
select the code page with which the bar codes were created (see Code Page  
Mapping of Printed Bar Codes on page A-7), and scan the value and the Save  
bar code from the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this man-  
ual. The data characters should then appear properly.

code and the extended coupon code in a single scan, it transmits both as sepa-  
rate symbologies. Otherwise, it transmits the first coupon code it reads.  
If you scan the Require Concatenation code, the imager must see and read  
the coupon code and extended coupon code in a single read to transmit the  
data. No data is output unless both codes are read.

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  
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)  
nE  
Range: 1 - 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)

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)

% - 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.

This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E -  
Edge Sharpen command (see page 8-15). This filter also works well when  
shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is  
26U.

W - Histogram Ship  
A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type.  
A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image  
has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail  
concentrated in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram for an image.

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  
software. This software is available at www.honeywell.com/aidc. Click on Soft-  
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).

H - Height of Signature Capture Area  
The height of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided  
by .01. In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 3/8 inch,  
resulting in a value of H = .375/0.01 = 37.5.  
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.  
K - Gamma Correction  
Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image.  
You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher  
gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the  
darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.

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 1000R:  
Example of Resolution set to 2000R:  
S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio  
All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum  
element size of the bar code. The bar code aspect ratio allows you to set the  
ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width. In the example, the  
narrow element width is .010 inches and the bar code height is 0.400 inches,  
resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.  
W - Width of Signature Capture Area  
The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided  
by .01. In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4 inches,  
resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was used in the  
example to accommodate a slightly wider image area.)  
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset  
The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the  
signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right  
and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum  
bar width.  
Example of Horizontal Offset set to 75X:  
Example of Horizontal Offset set to -75X:  
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-  
SNP, IMGBOX) so that QuickView (see "QuickView" on page 11-6) and other  
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  
the port, work group, image scanner name, and address for each image scan-  
ner. Refer to "Image Scanner Name" on page 3-7 set a unique name for each  
image scanner.

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.  
Note: OCR is not as secure as bar codes. To enhance security in OCR  
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.  
< Default All OCR Settings >  
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).

default setting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have cre-  
ated an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be  
scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).  
MICR E 13 B On  
Note: TOAD characters (Transit, On Us, Amount and Dash) are output in the  
following manner:  
the transit character is output as T  
the amount character is output as A  
the on us character is output as O  
the dash character is output as D

SEMI Font  
SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor  
industry.  
SEMI Font On  
All OCR Off 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. However, any OCR templates you have created will be  
retained in memory.

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.

i
represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter)  
represents a check character position  
represents any digit  
represents any available OCR character  
represents character from user-defined variable “g”  
represents character from user-defined variable “h”  
represents character from user-defined variable “g” or “h”  
represents that a check character is verified but transmitted  
represents any uppercase letter  
k
l
t

All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.  
Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D),  
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  
need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the  
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.  
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the  
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  
variables are stored under the letters “g” and “h. You need a variable to repre-  
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  
an A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read:  
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

character. The image scanner transmits the OCR data without the check char-  
acter data. You must specify the location of the check character in the template  
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  
Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36 check-  
sum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z.  
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  
9 - 8

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  
have followed the steps below, you will be able to scan the following ISBN num-  
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:

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-  
11 - 5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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

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  
sending the Manual/Serial Menu Command (page 12-12). Once the image  
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  
window. Never use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on  
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  
(www.honeywell.com/aidc) to check for the latest software for both the  
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  
(www.honeywell.com/aidc) to check for the latest software for both the  
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:  
14 - 4  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
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.

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.  
* Auto Reconnect On  
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Maximum Link Attempts  
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the image  
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.

Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the  
setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting.  
Default = 3 seconds.  
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  
attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3  
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. Refer to Auto Reconnect  
Mode, page B-1, to review other events that can start the re-link process.  
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 1  
Maximum Link Attempts set to 0  
Relink Time-Out set to 10  
Image Scanner Power Time-Out Timer set to 1800:  
Note: See Image Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 4-4.  
The image scanner attempts to connect to the base unit every 15 seconds,  
measured from start of attempt to start of attempt. After one half hour, the  
image scanner powers off.
