Automatic Trigger
The imager scans continuously at full power with illumination fully on.
Automatic Trigger
Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect bar codes. The LEDs are off for
ambient conditions until a change occurs in the imager’s field of view. Then the
LEDS turn on automatically to read the code. If the light level in the room is not
high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.
Presentation Mode
Continuous Illumination Mode
If you have several bar codes that are close together, you may wish to have a
continuous aiming beam on in order to properly aim the imager at one bar code.
Scan the Continuous Illumination On bar code to program the imager for this
capability. Once you have the aiming beam over the correct bar code, pull the
trigger to read the code. Scan the Continuous Illumination Off bar code to turn
off this feature.

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

Centering Window
Use the centering feature to narrow the imager’s field of view so the imager reads
only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the imager only reads
codes that intersect or are contained within the centering window you set up. At
least part of a bar code must be within the window to be decoded or output by
the imager.
To change the left or right edge of the centering window, scan Centering On, then
scan one of the following bar codes. Then scan the percent you want to shift the
centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the imager
decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence
or the imager 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 imager 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 imager 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 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

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes,
but you want the imager to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd,
as shown below.
3 - 9
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
A - Code 39
B - Code 128
C - Code 93
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the
trigger, aiming the imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once,
beeping (if turned on) for each read. The imager attempts to find and decode
new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection
is turned Off, the imager will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
On
* Off
No Read
With No Read turned On, the imager 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.

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 imager to read bar codes that are inverted.
The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code.
Note: If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read
the menu bar codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.

Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are
used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after
scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or
only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown
of a message string:
Prefix
1-11
alpha numeric
characters
Scanned Data
Suffix
1-11

variable length
Points to Keep In Mind
•
It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter
are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None.
Default suffix = None.
•
•
A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.
•
•
You can 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 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 Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a
symbology. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you
select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes
(Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

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 imager’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
on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length

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
gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the
alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type

Secondary Interface
By switching secondary interface cables, the 3800g imager, for example, can
communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to
the host terminal (primary interface). See the table below for the secondary
interfaces for the 3800g.

Enabling the Secondary Interface
The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.
You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the
secondary 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.
* Disable
Enable
Secondary RS-232 Connection
All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for
correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.
6 - 1
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
RS-232 settings, refer to the Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port
RS-232 Interface
Secondary Trigger Mode
Manual Trigger: You must press the imager trigger to scan. When not
scanning, idle power is maintained. Default = Manual Trigger.
* Manual Trigger
Automatic Trigger: The imager scans continuously at full power.

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

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.
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 = 5,000

All Symbologies
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your imager, scan the All
Symbologies On code. If on the other hand, you want to decode only a
particular symbology, scan All Symbologies Off followed by the On symbol for
that particular symbology.
All Symbologies On

7 - 1
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 imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for
minimum and maximum length to force the imager to read fixed length bar code
data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can
program the imager to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check
characters. Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the imager reads and transmits bar code
data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager will only read
Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this
character at the end of the scanned data.

Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the
imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a

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

ISBT 128 Concatenation
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
data characters should then appear properly.

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
programmed 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 external
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
window. 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 displayed
in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The
imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different
categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree
node in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the
right-hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular
category. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration
parameters specified for an 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
displayed 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 program
the 3800g. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming
command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
commands can be sent via a PC com port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
bold
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix
Tag
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings
are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
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.
11 - 1
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^
?
*
What is the default value for the setting(s).
What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de-
vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-
ues.)
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be
used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the
subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the
specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the
Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the
sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the
new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and
Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional command
requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous
commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the
allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a
minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2
characters.
11 - 2
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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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 soapy water solution).
If a soapy water solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue 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 Hand Held Products distributor for information about
13 - 1
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 3800g scanner’s
handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field
replaceable.
•
Order replacement cables from Hand Held Products or from an authorized
distributor.
•
When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
To Replace the 3800g 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. 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.

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.
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.
13 - 2
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
output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data
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
•
The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
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.
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.
