Getting Started  
3800i/3800r  
The 3800i and 3800r mark a new performance level for handheld scanners.  
Both the 3800i and 3800r are powered by Honeywell AdaptusTM Imaging Tech-  
nology. The performance of Adaptus technology delivers aggressive read rates  
and depths of field on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix codes.  
The 3800i handheld industrial image reader is the first industrial class reader to  
be powered by Honeywell Adaptus imaging technology. Adaptus technology  
allows you to read bar codes at ranges up to 82 inches on paper labels. In addi-  
tion, this technology allows your 3800i to pick up and process your bar code  
image 270 times per second. Although the 3800i uses the same general ergo-  
nomic design as the 3800r, the 3800i is built to withstand your toughest indus-  
trial applications.  
Designed for today’s demanding retail and commercial environments, the 3800r  
offers a superior reading range, durability, and the ability to read poor quality bar  
codes. Linear imaging technology is defined by a bright and sharply focused  
aiming line, high resolution imaging, and fast reading speed. The 3800r is com-  
fortable to hold, easy to use, rugged, and excellent for retail applications, as well  
as for all general scanning applications.  
About This Manual  
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the  
3800i/3800r. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer sup-  
port information are also included.  
Honeywell bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common  
terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,  
programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.  
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.  
Unpacking the Scanner  
After you open the shipping carton containing the imager, take the following  
steps:  
Check to make sure everything you ordered is present.

(Keyboard Wedge)  
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard  
wedge,plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in  
wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a  
keyboard wedge connection:  
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.  
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable  
from the back of the terminal/  
computer.  
Disconnect  
3. Connect the

Reading Techniques  
The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre-  
sponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming line should be centered hori-  
zontally over the bar code; it will not read if the aiming line is in any other  
direction.  
Good Read  
Bad Read  
Bad Read  
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7  
cm) from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an  
object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trig-  
ger, and center the aiming line on the symbol.  
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults  
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve  
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Stan-  
dard Product Default Settings bar code below.  
Standard Product Default Settings  
The Menu Commands starting on page 11-5 lists the factory default settings for  
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).  
Plug and Play  
Plug and Play bar codes provide instant 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 Style  
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. Default =  
Regular.  
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.  
* Regular  
Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.  
Caps Lock  
Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common  
to U.S. keyboards).  
Shift Lock  
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.  
The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2  
only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED which  
notes the Caps Lock status.  
Automatic Caps Lock  
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-  
many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.  
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the Num-  
Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

3. Unplug the mouse or keyboard from the computer. Plug the mouse or  
keyboard into the power tap on the scanner cable.  
4. Plug the power tap into the mouse or keyboard port.  
5. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the  
two screws to secure the connector to the port.  
6. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.  
All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match  
for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan-  
ning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS-232 inter-  
face at 38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a  
CR LF.

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.

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 imager settings. We  
recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your  
imager 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 1-7 for further information.  
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in  
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo-  
gies 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.  
The Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same  
Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.

Trigger Modes  
Manual/Serial Trigger  
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig-  
ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When in manual trigger  
mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.  
When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until  
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to  
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which fol-  
lows).

Read Time-Out  
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger  
when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has  
timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a  
serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the  
time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the  
inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000.  
Read Time-Out  
Manual Trigger, Low Power  
The scanner powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled,  
the scanner powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set  
with the Low Power Time-Out bar code below. There is a delay of up to one  
second in operation when the scanner is first triggered, but there is no delay  
when operating in low power time-out mode.  
Manual Trigger, Low Power  
Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge  
applications.  
Low Power Time-Out Timer  
Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in sec-  
onds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside  
back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.  
If there are no trigger pulls during the “low power time-out timer” interval, the  
scanner goes in low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the “low  
power time-out timer” is reset.

Presentation Mode  
Note: Presentation mode does not work when a scanner is programmed for the  
laser emulation interface.  
Note: If the Presentation Mode selection is enabled, the aimer beam option is  
disabled.  
The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the scanner. Then the LEDs  
turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to  
detect the bar codes. If the light level in the room is not high enough, Presenta-  
tion Mode will not work properly.  
Presentation Mode  
Hands Free Time-Out  
The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”  
modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the  
imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager  
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 imager 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 scanner can read the same bar code a sec-  
ond time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the  
same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at  
POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar  
code scanning is required. Default = Medium.

Output Sequence Overview  
Require Output Sequence  
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner  
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited  
sequence or the 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 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 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: 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.  
Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.  
To Add an Output Sequence  
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-  
11).  
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  
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 scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93  
3rd, as shown below.  
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.  
A - Code 39  
B - Code 128  
C - Code 93  
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:

Multiple Symbols  
Note: This feature does not work when the scanner is in Low Power mode.  
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple  
symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trig-  
ger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once,  
beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and decode  
new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection  
is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.

No Read  
With No Read turned On, the scanner sends an “NR” to the host if you pull and  
release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad bar code). If No Read is  
turned Off, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.  
On  
* Off  
If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”  
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.  
Video Reverse  
Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted.  
The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code.

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

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.  
1252) on page A-3, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.  
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.  
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on  
the output.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:  
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).  
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in  
the Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix  
or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.  
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back  
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

cover of this manual.  
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.  
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.  
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.  
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.  
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to  
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.  
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.  
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.  
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology  
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for U.P.C. only:  
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.  
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in  
the Appendix A) for U.P.C.  
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual.  
1252) on page A-3, for the CR (carriage return).  
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
manual.  
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:  
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol-  
ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is  
deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),  
all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.  
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Function Code Transmit  
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the  
scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts  
of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on  
page 8-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is con-  
verted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

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

Data Formatting  
Data Format Editor Introduction  
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For exam-  
ple, 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 5-2) within the format program to output data.  
Multiple formats may be programmed into the 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 5-4.  
To Add a Data Format  
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).  
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format  
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate  
formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan  
one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has  
been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-  
5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 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 the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter-  
minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the  
5 - 1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must  
enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.  
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.  
Step 4. Code I.D.  
In the Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the  
data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2  
digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of  
this manual.  
Step 5. Length  
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable  
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the  
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50  
characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating  
all lengths.)  
Step 6. Editor Commands  
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the  
symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanu-  
meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.  
Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this  
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 (refer to the  
Supported Terminals Chart on page 2-2), Code I.D. (refer to the Symbology  
Chart on page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format  
that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.  
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.

different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro-  
grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-  
mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.  
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar  
codes below. The scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with  
the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Enabling the Secondary Interface  
The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.  
You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the second-  
ary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable bar code  
below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable bar code.  
Default =Disable.

Secondary RS-232 Connection  
All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match  
for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.  
RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary  
interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in  
primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces. If you want to change the  
section on pages 2-8 to 2-11.  
RS-232 Interface  
Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation  
In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in  
the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbol-  
ogies 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. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second  
and the output polarity to black, high.  
The Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same  
Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.

imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager  
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 imager reverts to the original hands free mode.  
Note: If you change the time-out duration for the secondary interface, the  
duration of the primary interface will also be changed.  
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 =

All Symbologies  
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your 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 symbol for  
that particular symbology.

Message Length  
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 scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for  
minimum and maximum length to force the 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.

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

Code 39 Append  
This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar  
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this func-  
tion is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a  
space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately trans-  
mit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes  
are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the  
appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character  
other than a space. Default = Off.

GS1 Emulation  
The imager can automatically format the output from any GS1 data carrier to  
emulate what would be encoded in an equivalent GS1-128 or GS1 DataBar  
symbol. GS1 data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13 and EAN-8,  
ITF-14, GS1-128, and GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any applica-  
tion that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize  
one data carrier type.)  
If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (UPC, UPC-E, EAN8,  
EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will  
be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Chart on page A-1).

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

Visual Xpress  
Visual Xpress Introduction  
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that  
can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual  
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change pro-  
grammed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using  
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an  
imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single  
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or  
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar  
code to load in the customized programming.  
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at  
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a  
physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an exter-  
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a  
USB cable is required.  
Visual Xpress Operations  
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:  
Scan Data  
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a win-  
dow. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive  
imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-  
played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.  
Configure  
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The  
imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-  
ries. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node  
in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-  
hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular cate-  
gory. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration  
parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as  
required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them  
to a dcf file.  
Imaging  
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Imager can perform.  
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-  
played in an image window. Images captured from the imager can be saved to  
files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the  
image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images.  
Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the imager.

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 3800i/3800r. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial  
programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in  
this manual.  
The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-7). 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 Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage  
Prefix  
Tag  
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).  
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu  
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings  
are identified with a Tag of 232.  
SubTag  
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu  
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the  
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.  
Data  
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-  
Tag.  
Storage  
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the  
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.)  
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:  
ACKIndicates a good command which has been processed.  
ENQIndicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.  
NAKIndicates 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 mini-  
mum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.  
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the  
status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the  
period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.

Response: CBRENA1[ACK]  
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is  
set to 1, or on.  
Example: 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 scanner with serial trigger commands.  
First, the scanner must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning  
the Manual/Serial Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-3), or by sending the Manual/  
Serial Menu Command (page 11-9). Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode,  
the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:  
Activate:SYN T CR  
Deactivate:SYN U CR  
The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate com-  
mand is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see Read Time-  
Out on page 3-4 for a description, and the serial command on page 11-9).  
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults  
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve  
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Stan-

Maintenance  
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. Please see  
Customer Support on page 14-1 for further information.  
Maintenance  
The 3800i/3800r provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of  
care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic  
checks ensure dependable scanner operation:  
Cleaning the Scanner’s Window  
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the  
window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window  
with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water  
solution or alcohol). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tis-  
sue dampened with water only.  
The scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.  
Caution:  
!
Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use  
abrasive wipes or tissues on the imager’s window –  
abrasive wipes may scratch the window.  
Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or  
phenol-based agents) on the housing or window –  
solvents may damage the finish or the window.  
Inspecting Cords and Connectors  
Inspect the scanner’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of  
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner  
operation. Contact your Honeywell distributor for information about cable  
replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 13-2.

Replacing the Interface Cable  
The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular  
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the 3800i/3800r  
scanner’s handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to  
be field replaceable.  
Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.  
When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the  
original interface cable.  
To Replace the 3800r Interface Cable:  
1. Turn the power to the host system  
OFF.  
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from  
the terminal or computer.  
3. Locate the small hole on the side of  
the scanner’s handle (3800i/3800r).  
This is the cable release.  
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.  
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the  
small hole and press in. This  
depresses the retention tab, releasing  
the connector. Pull the connector out  
while maintaining pressure on the  
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.  
Cable  
Release  
6. Replace with the new cable.  
Insert the connector into the opening  
and press firmly. The connector is  
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.

8. If the cord lock is used, screw it back in place over the cord.  
Troubleshooting  
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your  
scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide  
to try to isolate the problem.  
Is the power on? Is the red aiming illumination line on?  
If the red aiming illumination line isn’t illuminated, check that:  
The cable is connected properly.  
The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).  
The trigger works.  
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?  
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:  
Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.  
Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.  
Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.

Is the bar code displayed but not entered?  
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to  
press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).  
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to out-  
put the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data  
into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 4-1 for further  
information.  
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?  
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the  
host screen:  
The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.  
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”  
Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection  
bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.  
The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.  
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”  
Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter  
7.  
The scanner won’t read your bar code at all.  
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads  
the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.  
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).  
2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies on  
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if  
you want the factory default settings restored, scan Resetting the Standard

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.
