Programming the Interface - Plug and Play
Plug and Play bar codes provide instant imager set up for commonly used
interfaces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the
interface in effect.
Note: See "Imager Models" on page 1-2 to determine which interfaces apply to
your imager.
USB PC or Macintosh® Keyboard
Scan one of the following codes to program the imager for USB PC Keyboard or
USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes adds a CR and selects the
terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard - 125, USB
Japanese Keyboard - 134).
USB Keyboard (PC)
USB Keyboard (Mac)

Reading Techniques
The 4800p scans bar codes and also captures images. It can be used with or
without a stand.
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
1 - 5
The 4800p’s viewfinder projects a green aiming beam that should be centered
over the bar code, but can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
Hold the scanner with the aiming beam centered over the bar code. The 4800p
beeps when it successfully reads a bar code. Do not move the 4800p over
another bar code until it beeps. The optimum distance between the 4800p and
the object being scanned is 2 to 5 inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the
4800p to the stand’s tray is the proper distance.
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. If the code being scanned is highly
reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code +5° to prevent
unwanted reflection.
4800p Stand
The stand holds the 4800p at a fixed distance for capturing images or reading
bar codes on security/identification cards. The wedge insert supplied with the
stand provides the optimum angle for scanning and capturing images in most
lighting conditions. The card should be placed on the wedge with the bar code
closest to the back of the stand.

Terminal Interfaces
Terminal ID
If your interface is not covered by a Plug and Play bar code from Chapter 1, then
refer to Supported Terminals on page 2-2, and locate the Terminal ID number for
your PC. Scan the Terminal ID bar code below, then scan the numeric bar
code(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 bar code, 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 bar code, scan the digits, and the Save code again.

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common
to U.S. keyboards).
Shift Lock
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The
software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2 only).
This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED which notes the
Caps Lock status.
Automatic Caps Lock
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g.,
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.

LED Power Level
This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness. Off is used when
no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the
default) is the brightest setting.
Note: If you scan the Off bar code, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off,
making it impossible to scan bar codes in low light. To turn the LED
Power Level back on, move to a brightly lit area and scan either the Low
or the High bar code below.
Off
Low (50%)
* High (100%)
Centering
Use Centering to narrow the imager’s field of view to make sure the imager reads
only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are
placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are
read.
In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white
area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will
be.
Bar Code 1
Bar Code 2
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide

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
right pixel positions, measured from the top and the left side of the imager’s field
of view, which is 640 by 480 pixels.

only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the Top,
Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top,
bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to
shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual.

Decode Search Mode
There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes:
Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center
of an image, and searches to the image’s limits. This mode reads all
symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional
search is very thorough which may slow performance time.
Note: This search mode is the default setting.
*Full Omnidirectional
Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for bar code features
around the center region of an image. This mode quickly reads all symbologies
in any orientation. The Quick Omnidirectional mode may miss some off-center
symbols, as well as larger Data Matrix and QR Code symbols.
Quick Omnidirectional
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 bar codes. Advanced Linear Decoding cannot read 2D, OCR, or
Postal symbols.
Advanced Linear Decoding
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 Print Weight (page 3-11) is enabled.
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
3 - 7
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,
the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.
You must hold scan each bar code in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-
10).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-
ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover).
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal num-
ber, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any
programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length
(unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Program-
ming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save
to save your entries.

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.
Output Sequence Examples
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.

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

Data Editing
Prefix/Suffix Overview
When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer
along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional,
user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are
used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after
scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or
only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the 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 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.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a
select is deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes
(Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix
or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.
To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to all Symbologies

Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of
these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on
page 9-3. When the imager is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is
converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps
(of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.
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 bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond
steps (0-99), and the Save bar code 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 bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages
are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands
on page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the 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 bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code 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 bar codes 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.
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
5 - 1
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

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.

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies.
If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length,
the 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
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Imaging Commands
The imager can be used as a digital camera for capturing, manipulating, and
transferring images.
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to the imager
on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent image capture.
Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings.
If you wish to change a default setting, you must use the serial default command
(see Imaging Default Commands on page 11-17). When the serial default
command is used, that selection becomes the new default setting for the imager.
Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.
Image Snap is the command processor for image capture, or taking a picture.
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: Sets the Image Snap style.

Decoding Style. This is similar to the current format for decoding,
however, this processing allows a few frames to be taken until the
exposure parameters are met. Then the last frame is available for
further use.

Photo Style (default). This attempts to mimic a simple digital
camera, and results in a visually optimized image.
Manual Style. This is an advanced style, and should not normally

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, notifying the user that
E - Exposure: This allows you to set the exposure time. Units are 127

Photo Style. (Default = 6)
nU
Range: 0 - 10
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. (Default = 125)
nW
Range: 0 - 255
% - 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, Target White Value should
be used. (Default = 50)

that is transmitted, but do not affect 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 IMGSHP command. For example, you can
use the following command to ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX
Note: IMGBOX commands can only be used with PDF417, Code 39, Code 128,
Aztec, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 symbologies.
Intelligent signature capture ships only part of an image to the host application.
This method reduces transfer time and file size, while simplifying signature
capture.
Below is an example of an intelligent signature capture application. In this
example, the operator reads the bar code, which is then transmitted to the host
application. Upon the receipt of the bar code data, the host application sends the
IMGBOX command, which tells the imager to output only the area of the image
corresponding to the signature capture box. The imager also automatically
adjusts for aspect ratio and distortion, issues that arise due to imager skew with
respect to the bar code.
Align the aimers with the signature area (not with the bar code). Send the
IMGBOX command string after you hear the good read beep.
negative
positive
0123456789
An important aspect of intelligent signature capture is that all dimensions used in
the application are measured as multiples of the minimum element size of the bar
code. Using this method, intelligent signature capture always outputs the correct
image size and resolution, no matter the distance at which the imager is held
from the bar code, assuming that the entire signature capture area is within the
imager’s field of view.
The intelligent signature capture command string for this application is:

to be captured is 1 inch, resulting in a value of H = 1/0.01 = 100. The value for
H is slightly larger, to accommodate some extra image capture area outside of
the signature capture box.
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. A setting of 100 results in no

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area: 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. To specify a
non-integer value for the resolution, use a number greater than or equal to
1000. For example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.500. The imager
automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit. Set
to zero when using the A and B modifiers.
S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio: The ratio of the bar code height to the narrow
element width. In the example, the narrow element width is .010 inches and
the bar code height is 0.400 inches, resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.
W - Width of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the width of the area
to be captured is 1.90 inches, resulting in a value of W = 1.9/0.01 = 190. The
value for W is slightly larger, to accommodate some extra image capture area
outside of the signature capture box.
X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset: The horizontal ratio offset of the center of the
signature capture area, in multiples of the minimum bar width. In the example,
the horizontal offset is 0.
Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset: The vertical offset of the center of the signature
capture area, in multiples of the minimum bar width. Negative numbers
indicate that the signature capture is above the bar code, and positive numbers
indicate that the area is below the bar code. In the example, the horizontal
offset is 0.70 inches, resulting in a value for Y = 0.7/0.01 = 70.

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 8-1 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 8-3 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.

OCR Templates
You can create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length
and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several
choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a
template for a single format, you can string together several 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 8-1).
2. Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 8-13).
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 8-13), then scan the d from the OCR
Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR
Template (page 8-14). This would let you read any string of eight digits, for

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
OCR Template symbol (page 8-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming
Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or”
statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template.
Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan d two more times. Scan Save
OCR Template (page 8-14). 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 8-13). Scan 414243 from the
OCR Template (page 8-14). 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
8 - 6
4800p 2D Imager 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".
12345678

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 bar code 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 8-14). 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
Programming a User-Defined Check Character
1. Scan the Enter OCR Check Character bar code, below.
Enter OCR Check Character
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide

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 bar code on the inside back cover.
Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on
page 8-9, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Check
Character bar code on page 8-9, then scan the following hex values
in order:
3031323334353637383958
After you enter all the desired hex values, scan the Save bar code on the
inside back cover of this manual.
Weighting Options
By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use
one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if
two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator
keys in data.
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character
Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,
the 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
8 - 10
4800p 2D Imager 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:
ddddddc
Then scan the string below:
0128454
The reader performs the check character computation below:
(0 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 2 x 1 + 8 x 2 + 4 x 1 + 5 x 2 + 4 x 1) modulo 10
= (0 + 2 + 2 + (1 + 6) + 4 + (1 + 0) + 4) modulo 10
= 0
Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader
outputs the message: 012845

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.

4800p 2D Imager 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:

Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the
factory if you have an application that requires reading four or more rows
of OCR.

This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the
decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart, included in the Appendix
A, page A-1) for the single character code that identifies each symbology.) This
action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all
symbologies. This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is
power cycled.

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 bar
code 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 or a
word processor/editing program is recommended.)
If you are using Visual Xpress, you can enable Full Report, a listing of all of a
symbol's identifying information, measurements, and corresponding grades, by
typing the following menu command:
2D_PQA1
or by scanning the following bar code:
Full Report
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
10 - 3
Note: The PQA report is sent out as a second data/beep sequence after the bar
code 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 Visual Xpress, or by scanning the following bar code:
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
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 a serial
port emulation using a physical USB port.
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
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.
10 - 4
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
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
c:\windows\temp directory.
6. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site.
7. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file and unzip the file you saved.
8. Double click on Setup.exe and follow the screen prompts to install the Visual
Xpress program.
9. If you’ve selected the defaults during installation, you can click on Start
Menu-Programs-Hand Held Products-Visual Xpress.
Temporary USB Com Port Configuration
For a quick download communication configuration, scan the Visual Xpress bar
code and the imager will be temporarily configured for USB Com Port Emulation.

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
your imager. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial
programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in
this manual.
The device must be set to an USB Com Port Emulation interface (see page 1-5).
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 beeper configuration settings
are identified with a Tag of BEP.
SubTag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
Beeper Volume is LVL.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage
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.
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
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
4800p 2D Imager 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]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of
values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example #2: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable
(CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example #3: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on.
Example #4: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter:
cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;
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.

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 14-1 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 13-2.
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
13 - 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 4800p Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
Cable
Release
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the bottom
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.
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).
Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols?
13 - 2
4800p 2D Imager User’s Guide
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 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 imager to output
the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data into your
application. Refer to "Prefix/Suffix Overview" on page 4-1 for further information.
Does the imager read the bar code incorrectly?
If the imager reads a bar code, 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
bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
•
The imager may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the imager reads
the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).
2. If the imager still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan "All Symbologies" on
page 6-2.
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 11-4.

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.
