Reading Techniques
The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that
corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered over the barcode, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.
Linear barcode
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (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 imager 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., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Terminal Interfaces
Terminal ID
If your interface is not covered by a Plug and Play barcode from Chapter 1, then
refer to Supported Terminals on page 2-2 through page 2-3, and locate the
Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the Terminal ID barcode below, then
scan the numeric barcode(s) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover
of this manual to program the imager for your terminal ID. Scan Save to save
your selection.
For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003. You would scan the
Terminal ID barcode, then 0, 0, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits
(before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the Programming Chart, scan
the Terminal ID barcode, scan the digits, and the Save code again.

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 barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g.,
Germany, 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
NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

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 barcode 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 Imager using
software commands from the host device. 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
Imager. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex
11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default
= RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF and ACK/NAK Off.

Wand Emulation Connection
The Wand Emulation Connection barcodes 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 barcodes to program your
imager to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play barcodes
change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID. Please refer
to Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Wedge on page 1-7 for further
information.
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the barcode then sends data in
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all
symbologies to Code 39.
The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and
Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to
Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128.
The Code 39 Format barcode below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same
Code Format barcode sets the terminal ID to 64. Default = Code 39 Format.

Trigger Modes
Manual/Serial Trigger
You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger
command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger
mode, the imager scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a barcode has been read or until the
deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to turn
itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).
* Manual/Serial Trigger
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger
mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read
Time-Out barcode, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default =
30,000.

Manual Trigger, Low Power
Note: Does not apply to the 4600r.
The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled,
the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set

Low Power Time-Out Timer
Scan the Low Power Time-Out barcode to change the time-out duration (in
seconds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside
back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.
If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into
low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer
is reset.
Note: This time-out does not begin until the imager time-out setting has expired.
In-Stand Sensor Mode (4600r only)
The 4600r (Software revision 31205480-118 or newer) contains a sensor that
senses when the imager is removed from the stand (HFSTAND5RSE only).
Refer to the Show Software Revision on page 11-2 for information on
determining the software in your unit. The imager then enters Manual Trigger
mode. If you wish to turn the sensor on, scan the Sensor ON barcode below.
Default = Off.

Note: Scan Stand Mode is only available for non-advanced illumination units
with software revision 31205480-090 or older. Refer to the Show
Software Revision on page 11-2 for information on determining the
software in your unit.
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan
Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol on page 3-6.) When a different code is
presented, the imager is triggered to read the new code.

Note: The imager 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 imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting
(see LED Power Level on page 3-9). This mode requires at least 50 lux
of ambient light to operate correctly.
Scan Stand Mode
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 imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level
(Default High) and attempts to find and decode barcodes in its field of view.

Presentation Mode
Note: The operation of light bar off-axis illumination units and non-light bar units
differs slightly. When a light bar unit is in Presentation Mode and idle, the
illumination LEDs go dim, but never go out. When a non-light bar unit is in
Presentation Mode and idle, the illumination LEDs will go out completely.
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off
or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a barcode is presented to the
imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation
Mode uses ambient light to detect the barcodes. If the light level in the room is
not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand, and Presentation, and Streaming 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 barcode, 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 barcode a second

mode.
The Aimer Mode feature allows you to lower peak current during scanning by
alternating the aimer and illumination LEDs. When the Interlaced barcode is
scanned, the aimer and illumination LEDs are not allowed to be on at the same
time. Interlaced, the recommended setting for the 5X00 engines, limits the peak
current draw during scanning. For 4X00 engines, the Interlaced setting reduces
the frame capture rate. When the Concurrent barcode is scanned, the aimer and
illumination LEDs are allowed to light at the same time. This is the recommended
setting for the 4X00 engines. Select Off for fixed mount applications when the

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager reads
only those barcodes 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 3-10, for
the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced
closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the imager can
emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser barcode imagers.)
In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white
area is the centering window. Barcode 1 will not be read, while Barcode 2 will
be.
Barcode 1
Barcode 2
The default centering window is a 128x96 pixel area in the center of the imager’s
field of view. The following diagram illustrates the default top, bottom, left, and

Decode Search Mode
There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes:
Full Omnidirectional - Searches for barcode 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.
Full Omnidirectional
Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for barcode 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
Advanced Linear Decoding - Performs quick horizontal linear scans in a center
band of the image. This mode is not omnidirectional, but does quickly read linear
and stacked barcodes. Advanced Linear Decoding cannot read 2D, OCR, or
Postal symbols.
Advanced Linear Decoding
Preferred Symbology
Note: This selection does not apply to OCR.
The imager can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority
over other symbologies in situations where both barcode 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 UPC
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.
3 - 14
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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 3-16) 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 barcode in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no
barcode in the imager’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is
reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

Output Sequence Examples
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes,
but you want the imager 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

Default Sequence
Require Output Sequence
When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device.
When it’s On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get the output data to
conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the imager transmits all output
data to the host device as is.
When the output sequence is Off, the barcode data is output to the host as the
imager decodes it.

Multiple Symbols
Note: This feature does not work when the Imager 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 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 notifies you if a code cannot be read. If
using a Quick*View Scan Data Window, an “NR” appears when a code cannot
be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.
On
* 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 5-5). The hex
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Print Weight
Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If an
imager 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 barcode, set
the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then
scanning Save. Default = 4.

Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read barcodes that are inverted.
The “Off” barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. If additional
menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu barcodes
and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.
Note: Images downloaded from the unit will not be reversed. This is a setting for
decoding only.

Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the barcode data. This group of barcode 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

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 ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), page A-4, 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.
•
When setting up for specific symbologies, instead of All Symbologies, the
symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
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.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), 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 UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
Appendix A) for UPC.

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 (in 5 ms steps) may be placed
between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the
Intercharacter Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond
steps (0-99), and the Save barcode using the Programming Chart inside the

Data Formatting
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 barcode 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 barcode, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands
on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. They are stacked in the
order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order
in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return
to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-5.
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-5).
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 barcode using a different data format. After the one barcode has
been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-
6.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro-
gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are pro-
gramming 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 2-2) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric barcodes on the inside back
cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 dig-
its). 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 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
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 Program-
ming 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 5-2). Scan the symbols

In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the barcode then sends data in
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all
symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code
128, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other
symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128. These
codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity

You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger
command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger
mode, the imager scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the imager scans until a barcode has been read or until the
deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to turn
itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).
* Manual/Serial Trigger
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger
mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read
Time-Out barcode, 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
Note: Programming Read Time-Out in the secondary interface also programs it
in the primary interface.
Manual Trigger, Low Power
Note: Does not apply to the 4600g/4600r/4600rp/4800i with Advanced
Illumination.
The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled,
the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set
with the Low Power Time-Out barcode below. There is a delay of up to one
second in operation when the imager 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 barcode to change the time-out duration (in
seconds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside
back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.
If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into
low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer
is reset.
Low Power Time-Out
Note: This time-out does not begin until the imager time-out setting has expired.
Note: Programming Low Power Time-Out in the secondary interface also
programs it in the primary interface.
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 barcode, then scan the time-out duration (from
0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 5,000
ms.

Scan Stand Mode
Note: Scan Stand Mode is only available for non-advanced illumination units
with software revision 31205480-090 or older. Refer to the Show
Software Revision on page 11-2 for information on determining the
software in your unit.
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan
Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol that follows.) When a different code
is presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code.
Note: The imager 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 imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting
(see LED Power Level on page 3-9).
Scan Stand Mode
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 imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level
(Default High) and attempts to find and decode barcodes in its field of view.
Scan Stand Symbol
Presentation Mode
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off
or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a barcode is presented to the
imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation
Mode uses ambient light to detect the barcodes. If the light level in the room is
not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

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
All Symbologies Off
Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies.
If the data length of the scanned barcode 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 barcode
data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those barcodes 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 barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save barcodes 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.

Code 39 Append
This function allows the imager to append the data from several Code 39
barcodes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this
function is enabled, the imager stores those Code 39 barcodes 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 barcodes are read,
deleting the first space from each. The imager transmits the appended data
when it reads a Code 39 barcode that starts with a character other than a space.
Default = Off.

EAN•UCC Emulation
The imager can automatically format the output from any EAN•UCC data carrier
to emulate what would be encoded in an equivalent UCC/EAN-128 or GS1 and
Composite symbol. EAN•UCC data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-
13 and EAN-8, ITF-14, UCC/EAN-128, and EAN•UCC GS1 and Composites.
Data from 2D symbols such as Aztec Code, Data Matrix, or QR Code, which
encode a leading FNC1, also invoke EAN•UCC emulation. If UCC/EAN-128
Emulation is selected, the AIM Symbology Identifier is reported as “]C1”. If GS1
Emulation is selected, the AIM Symbology Identifier is reported as “]e0.” Any
application that accepts EAN•UCC data can be simplified since it only needs to
recognize one data carrier type. Default = No Emulation.

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
additional 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
command, 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 8-6)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 8-16)
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
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

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 hand held. 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.

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)

% - 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

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
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 IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and
document image filtering:
IMGSNP;IMGSHP8F75K26U

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.

U - Document Image Filter
Allows you to input parameters to sharpen the edges and smooth the area
between the edges of text in an image. This filter should be used with

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX
IMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture
area relative to its proximity to a barcode. 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 barcode. You
can input the overall size of the signature area, as well as specify how far the
signature area is from the barcode, 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
barcodes: 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
Downloads. Select your device 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 barcode
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
barcode), 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:

4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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
command.
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 - Barcode Aspect Ratio
All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum
element size of the barcode. The barcode aspect ratio allows you to set the
ratio of the barcode height to the narrow element width. In the example, the
narrow element width is .010 inches and the barcode 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 Barcode Offset
The horizontal barcode 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 Barcode Offset
The vertical barcode offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the

The 2D imager 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
programming codes that will enable your imager 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 imager.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR
reading.

choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a
template for a single format, you can string together several formats, 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 imager to read any combination of
characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template

To Add an OCR Template
1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read (page 9-1).
2. Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13).
3. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you
template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would
be:
dddddddd
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
OCR Template symbol (page 9-13), then scan the d from the OCR
Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR
Template (page 9-14). This would let you read any string of eight digits, for

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 9-14). 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.” Creating a user variable follows
variable you specified.
Example: You need a variable to represent the letters “A,” “B,” or “C.” The
template for this variable would be:
414243
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
User-Defined Variable g symbol (page 9-13). Scan 414243 from the
OCR Template (page 9-14). This will let you read either A or B or C in any
position where you place the g. For example, you could create the following
template:
ddddddggg
9 - 6
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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
Reading Multi-Row OCR
The imager 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 Quick*View.
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".

OCR Check Character
You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the
security of your OCR application. The imager can be programmed for almost any
type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common check
character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).
Scan the OCR Modulo 10 or OCR Modulo 36 Check Character barcode to
specify the type of check character used in the OCR strings you’re scanning.
The imager will then only read OCR character strings with a valid check
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 9-14). This template will let you
read any combination of six digits with a correct check character after. (If the
check character is invalid, the data is discarded.) For example, the following
string could be scanned:
01234569
and the output would be: 0123456

OCR User-Defined Check Character
You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each
character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper
order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value for the
calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the
imager 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 imager 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

2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding
hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4.
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 barcode 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 barcode on page 9-9, then scan the following hex values
in order:
3031323334353637383958
After you enter all the desired hex values, scan the Save barcode 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 imager 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
9 - 10
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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 imager 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 running sum.
This is often referred to as the LUHN formula. One common application 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:

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

not encoded in an EAN-13 barcode. The following example shows how to
configure the imager 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 number or
the additional data below it, depending on the line of text at which the imager is
aimed.
1. Scan the OCR-B On barcode on page 9-2.
2. Program the user-defined variable “g” to comprise the ten digits plus the
dash:
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.
9 - 12
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
5. Finally, set up the ISBN check digit, which is a special position-weighted
modulo 11 checksum. The imager 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
programming command:
OCRENA2,TMP”ISBNggggggggggggctCdddd hdddEtCdddd
hddddE”,GPG”0123456789-”,GPH”P\”,CHK”0123456789X”.
These commands can be encoded into the following Aztec Code symbol:

2D PQA (Print Quality Assessment)
Two-dimensional Print Quality Assessment (2D PQA) is a feature of Hand Held
Products’ image readers where the data from the successful read of a 2D
barcode symbol is augmented with lines of text that both identify the symbol, and
also report graded measurement parameters obtained from it.
2D PQA Reporting
Hand Held Products' 2D PQA reporting can be enabled in two different modes:
Full Report or Screening. (To see displayed results, Microsoft® Notepad, a
word processor/editing program, or Quick*View (page 11-6) is recommended.)
If you are using Quick*View, you can enable Full Report, a listing of all of a sym-
bol's identifying information, measurements, and corresponding grades, by typ-
ing the following menu command:
2D_PQA1
or by scanning the following barcode:
Full Report
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
11 - 3
Note: The PQA report is sent out as a second data/beep sequence after the
barcode data. The report has its own Hand Held Products code ID of
>(0X3E) so it can be uniquely identified.
You can exit Full Report mode by either typing the menu command, 2D_PQA0,
if you are using Quick*View, or by scanning the following barcode:
Exit
Note: For additional information on interpreting your read results, please refer
to Hand Held Products Quick Check 2D Print Assessment User’s Guide.
Visual Xpress Introduction
Note: Software revision 31205480-118 (or newer) with support for light bar off-
axis illumination is backward compatible with all non-light bar units. This
new revision of software can be flashed in non-light bar units for full
backward compatibility. Non-light bar Software 31205480-090 (or older)
cannot be flashed into units with a light bar. Visual Xpress will display an
incompatibility error message. Refer to the Show Software Revision on
page 11-2 for information on determining the software in your 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 programmed
parameters, and create and print programming barcodes. 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 barcode that contains
all the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that barcode to any
location. Users in other locations can scan the barcode 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 barcodes and display the barcode 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.
11 - 4
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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.
Installing Visual Xpress from the Web
Note: Visual Xpress requires .NET software. If .NET is not installed on your PC,
you will be prompted to install it during the Visual Xpress installation.
2. Click in the Quick Search text box and enter Visual Xpress.
3. Click on Search Now.
4. Click on the entry for Visual Xpress.
5. When prompted, select Save File, and save the files to the

Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
barcodes. Both the serial commands and the programming barcodes will
program your imager. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial
programming command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode in this
manual.
The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-11). The following
commands can be sent via a PC COM port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions:
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
[option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
bold
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and
windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity
only):
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix
Tag
Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings
are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s
non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table
only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power
cycle.
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
12 - 1
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^
?
*
What is the default value for the setting(s).
What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de-
vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-
ues.)
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be
used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the
subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the
specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the
Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the
sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the
new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and
Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional command
requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous
commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the
allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a
minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2
characters.
12 - 2
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
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]

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],

Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the imager with serial trigger commands. First,
the imager must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the
Serial Menu Command (page 12-9). Once the imager 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 imager scans until a barcode has been read, until the deactivate command
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 12-9).
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings barcode below.
Standard Product Default Settings
The chart on the following pages lists the factory default settings for each of the
menu commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Maintenance
Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These
services are to be performed only by an authorized service center. See
"Customer Support" on page 15-1 for further information.
Maintenance
Your imager provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable imager operation:
Cleaning the Device
Reading performance may degrade if the imager’s window is not clean. If the
window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isn’t operating well, clean the window with
a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water
solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened
with water only.
The imager’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 imager’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of
operation. Contact your Hand Held Products distributor for information about
cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-2.
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
14 - 1
Replacing the Interface Cable
The standard interface cable is attached to the imager with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the imager’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 4600g/4600r Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the side of
the imager’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.

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.

4. Locate the small hole on the side of
the stand. This is the cable release.
5. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
6. 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.

Troubleshooting
The imager automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
imager 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 imager having trouble reading your symbols?
If the imager 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 imager or in the decoder to which the imager connects.
Is the barcode displayed but not entered?
The barcode 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 imager to output
the barcode 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 imager read the barcode incorrectly?
If the imager reads a barcode, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host
screen:
•
The imager may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the imager with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection
barcode. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
•
The imager may not be programmed to output your barcode data properly.
Reprogram the imager with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 7.
The imager won’t read your barcode at all.
14 - 4
4600rp, 4600g/4600r, 4800i User’s Guide
1. Scan the sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the imager reads
the sample barcodes, check that your barcode is readable.
Verify that your barcode symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).
2. If the imager still can’t read the sample barcodes, scan "All Symbologies" on
page 7-2.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the imager, or if
you want the factory default settings restored, scan Standard Product Default
Settings on page 12-4.

Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes
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
barcode 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 barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear
properly.
Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
