Button Functionality
There is two buttons on the front of the device. The following is a brief description of the settings for the buttons.

Beeper Volume Beeper Pitch

Beeper Pitch
Press repeatedly to scroll through the beeper pitch (frequency): low (870Hz), medium (1140Hz), and high (1800Hz).

Beeper Volume
Press repeatedly to scroll through the beeper volumes: high, medium, low, and off.

Reading Techniques
Present the bar code to the scanner. The LEDs turn up to read the code. If the light level in the room is not high enough, the
code may not be read.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want
to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest techni-
cal support office (see Technical Assistance on page ix) for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults
bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric
codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have
entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

Set Custom Defaults

Save Custom Defaults

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite
the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide
you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High
menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be
updated.

1-8
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is
the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom
defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom
defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will
override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

* Regular

Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Caps Lock

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).

Shift Lock

2 - 14
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 . This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).

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 Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve
the current state of the Caps Lock.

Autocaps via NumLock

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Emulate External Keyboard

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code:
“abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by
scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps Lock (page 2-15). Otherwise, your
output may not be as expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is
expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-3. Only codes 00 through 1F are converted (the first column of the chart).
Note: Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.

Default = Off.

* Control Character Output Off

Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.

Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F.
Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not sup-
port all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to Keyboard Function Relationships, page
10-1 for CTRL+ X Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it
does not translate prefix or suffix information.
Default = Control + X Mode Off.

RS232 Word Length: Data Bits, Stop Bits, and Parity

Data Bits sets the word length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0
through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications that require use of the full ASCII set,
select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.
Default = None.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A manual or serial trigger resets the time-
out. When an RS232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A trans-
action on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change
the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this man-
ual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (no time-out - always on).

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

2 - 19
 RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device.
When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data flow control is used.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be
asserted by the host.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS
when it is OK for the device to transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232
Timeout on page 2-20) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device
transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.
Default = RTS/CTS Off.

Flow Control, No Timeout

Two-Direction Flow Control

Flow Control with Timeout

* RTS/CTS Off

RS232 Timeout
When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host.
Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-5100 millisec-
onds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

RS232 Timeout

XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending
data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off
when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

XON/XOFF On

2 - 20
 * XON/XOFF Off

ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the
host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is
received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK
protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK
Off.

* Power Up Beeper On

Beep on BEL Character

You may wish to force the scanner to beep upon a command sent from the host. If you scan the Beep on BEL On bar code
below, the scanner will beep every time a BEL character is received from the host. Default = Beep on BEL Off.

*Beep on BEL Off

Beep on BEL On

Good Read and Error Indicators

Beeper – Good Read
The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off only turns off the beeper
response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = Beeper - Good Read On.

Number of Beeps – Good Read

The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the
beeper and LED in response to a good read. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be five
beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and LED flashes are in sync with one another. To
change the number of beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar code on the
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 1.

Number of Good Read Beeps/LED Flashes

 Number of Beeps – Error
The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the scanner for a bad read or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For
example, if you program this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED flashes in response
to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the
Save bar code on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = 5.

User-Specified Good Read Delay

If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0 - 30,000 mil-
liseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

User-Specified Good Read Delay

Serial Trigger Mode

You can activate the scanner by using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-3). When in serial mode,
the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. The scanner can also be set to turn
itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which follows).

3-4
 Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the
scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trig-
ger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 30,000 ms.

Read Time-Out

Presentation Mode
Presentation Mode uses ambient light and scanner illumination to detect bar codes. When in Presentation Mode, the LEDs
remain dim until a bar code is presented to the scanner, then the LEDs turn up to read the code.
Scan the following bar code to program your device for Presentation Mode. Default = Presentation Mode.

* Presentation Mode

Presentation Idle Mode

When Presentation Idle Mode is selected, the scanner goes into idle mode (illumination dims) after the time interval set,
during which there is no activity. Change the Presentation Idle mode by scanning the bar code below, and then scanning
digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 3000000.
The scanner will wake when an object is presented to the window or the pitch or volume button is pressed. Default = 10000
(10s).
When Off is selected, no power saving is used and the scanner remains powered on.
Note: In some conditions the scanner will switch between Presentation Idle Mode and Presentation Sleep Mode according
to ambient light level. This allows the scanner to wake up in very dark conditions.

Note: This selection is unavailable when the Illumination Lights or LED Illumination - Presentation Mode are set to off.

LED Illumination - Presentation Mode

If you wish to set the illumination LED brightness, scan one of the bar codes below. This sets the LED illumination for the
scanner when it is in Presentation Mode. (If the scanner is triggered manually, the LED illumination will switch to the setting
for a manual trigger. See "Serial Trigger Mode" on page 3-4.) Default = High.
Note: The LEDs are like a flash on a camera. The lower the ambient light in the room, the brighter the LEDs need to be so
the scanner can “see” the bar codes.

Note: The LEDs may turn off for a short time when the scanner detects low power.

Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presenta-
tion. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside
back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.

Sensitivity

Presentation Centering
Use Presentation Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view when it is in Presentation Mode to make sure the scanner
reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, Presentation
Centering will insure that only the desired codes are read.
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If Presentation Center-
ing is turned on by scanning Presentation Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering
window you specify using the Top of Presentation Centering Window, Bottom of Presentation Centering Window,
Left, and Right of Presentation Centering Window bar codes.

3-7
 In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right,
8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not
pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Streaming Presentation™ Mode

When in Streaming Presentation mode, the scan illumination remains on all the time to continuously search for bar codes. Two
modes are available, Normal and Enhanced. Normal mode offers good scan speed and the longest working ranges (depth of
field). Enhanced mode will give you the highest possible scan speed but slightly less range than Normal mode. Enhanced
mode is best used when you require a very fast scan speed and don’t require a long working range.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against
accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads. Use shorter delays in
applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required. Reread Delay only works when in a Presentation Mode (see page
3-5). Default = Short.

3 - 10
Centering
Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar
codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the
desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with Centering, page 3-11, for the most error-free operation in
applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together.)
Note: To adjust centering when the scanner is in Presentation Mode, see Presentation Centering (page 3-7).

If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by
scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of
Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top,
and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through
the centering window, so it will not be read.

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both
bar code symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code
on a drivers license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Sym-
bology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority
symbology is presented, the scanner ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 3-13) while
it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read imme-
diately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner will read any bar code in its view (low priority
or unspecified). If there is no bar code in the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.

Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.

High Priority Symbology
To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on
page A-1, find the symbology you want to set as high priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit
hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Scan Save to save your selection. Default = None

High Priority Symbology

Low Priority Symbology

To specify the low priority symbology, scan the Low Priority Symbology bar code below. On the Symbology Charts on page
A-1, find the symbology you want to set as low priority. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex
value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).
If you want to set additional low priority symbologies, scan FF, then scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart
for the next symbology. You can program up to 5 low priority symbologies. Scan Save to save your selection. Default =
None

Low Priority Symbology

Preferred Symbology Time-out

Once you have enabled Preferred Symbology and entered the high and low priority symbologies, you must set the time-out
period. This is the period of time the scanner will search for a high priority bar code after a low priority bar code has been
encountered. Scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 1-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside
back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 500 ms.

Character Activation Mode
You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning. When the activation character is received,
the scanner continues scanning until either the Character Activation Laser Timeout (page 3-15), the deactivation character is
received (see Deactivation Character on page 3-15), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use char-
acter activation, then use Activation Character (following) to select the character you will send from the host to start scanning.
Default = Off.

* Off

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner decodes it. When turned on, all output data
must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

3 - 15
 Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in
whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default
Sequence symbol programs the scanner to the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you
want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es)
your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 3-18).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format.
Locate the Hex value for that symbology 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 number,
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-3, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you
want to match. Use the Programming 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.

Other Programming Selections

• Discard
This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39
1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths

3 - 16
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
9999 code length that must match for Code 128, 9999 = all lengths
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or for-
matted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 3-16, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code
lengths, you would use the following command line:
SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
0012 A - Code 39 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
0013 B - Code 128 sample length (12) plus CR suffix (1) = 13
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
0012 C - Code 93 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code

Require Output Sequence

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit
the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform
to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.
When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.

No Read
With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data
Window (see page 11-3), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.
Default = Off.

* Off

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message (see Data
Formatting beginning on page 5-1). The hex code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

3 - 18
Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an
example of this type of bar code. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video Reverse and Stan-
dard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.
Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video
Reverse and Standard Bar Codes in order to read menu bar codes.

Note: Images downloaded from the unit are not 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 Scanned Data Suffix

1-11 variable length 1-11
alpha numeric & alpha numeric &
control characters control characters

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), beginning on page A-3, plus Code
I.D. and AIM I.D.
• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an
added prefix or suffix character.
• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-2).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the Symbology Charts, beginning on page
A-1) 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), beginning on page A-3, for the prefix
or suffix you wish to enter.
Note: 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.
To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create
the backslash itself.

Step 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. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

4-1
 Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.
Step 3. Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. This corresponds with the hex value
for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3.
Step 4. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and
suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology.
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 the Symbology Charts, beginning on page
A-1) 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

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all
current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function
code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 10-2. When the
scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

* 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.

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each
character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the
Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.

Data Formatting

Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert
characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to
alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a “send” com-
mand (see Send Commands on page 5-3) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the
following list presents the order in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.
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 below.

* Default Data Format

Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-2).
Step 2. Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. This allows you to save a total of 4
different data formats. To program your primary format, scan 0 using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you are
programming. (See "Primary/Alternate Data Formats" on page 5-12 for further information.)
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 5-3) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes
on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0
3 for an AT wedge.
Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.

Step 4. Code I.D.

In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate
the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual.
If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exception of some specific symbologies, refer to B8
(page 5-11).
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the Code I.D.
Note: 99 indicates all symbologies.

5-1
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length
from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. For example, 50 characters is entered as 0050.
Note: 9999 indicates all lengths.

Step 6. Editor Commands

Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 5-3). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter.
Step 7. Scan Save to save your data format, or Discard to exit without saving your changes.

Enter Data Format

Save

Discard

Other Programming Selections

Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0 from the Programming
Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the
format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code I.D. (see Symbology Charts on page A-1), and the bar code
data length for the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.
Clear all Data Formats
This clears all data formats.
Save to exit and save your data format changes.
Discard to exit without saving any data format changes.

Insert key strokes
B5 Insert a key stroke or combination of key strokes. Key strokes are dependent on your keyboard (see Keyboard Key
References on page A-10). Any key can be inserted, including arrows and functions. Syntax = B5xxssnn where xx is
the number of keys pressed (without key modifiers), ss is the key modifier from the table below, and nn is the key
number from the Keyboard Key References, page A-10.

Key Modifiers
No Key Modifier 00
Shift Left 01
Shift Right 02
Alt Left 04
Alt Right 08
Control Left 10
Control Right 20
For example, B501021F inserts an “A” on a 104 key, U.S. style keyboard. B5 = the command, 01 = number of keys
pressed (without the key modifier), 02 is the key modifier for Shift Right, and 1F is the “a” key. If a lower case “a” were
to be inserted, B501001F would be entered.
If there are three keystrokes, the syntax would change from B5xxssnn for one keystroke to B5xxssnnssnnssnn. An
example that would insert "abc" is as follows: B503001F00320030F833.
Note: Key modifiers can be added together when needed. Example: Control Left+Shift Left = 11.

where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard
emulation.
Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. In step
4 (page 5-1), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step 5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard
Code 128 bar codes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 5-11) in order for the B8 command to work. If Data Format is On, but
Not Required (page 5-12), bar code data that meets the B8 format is scanned and output as usual.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error Tone is On (page 5-12), the
scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no
tone is sounded.

Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the bar code data is output to the host as read, including prefixes and suffixes.

Data Formatter Off

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created and saved. The following settings can be applied
to your data format:
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and
suffixes are not transmitted. If a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes are transmitted.
Data Format Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes and suffixes are transmitted. Any data that does not
match your data format requirements generates an error tone and the data in that bar code is not transmitted. If you wish
to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.
Data Format Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format is found for a particular symbol, those prefixes and
suffixes are not transmitted. Any data that does not match your data format requirements generates an error tone. If you
wish to process this type of bar code without generating an error tone, see Data Format Non-Match Error Tone.
Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone

When a bar code is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, the scanner normally generates an error
tone. However, you may want to continue scanning bar codes without hearing the error tone. If you scan the Data Format
Non-Match Error Tone Off bar code, data that doesn’t conform to your data format is not transmitted, and no error tone will
sound. If you wish to hear the error tone when a non-matching bar code is found, scan the Data Format Non-Match Error
Tone On bar code. Default = Data Format Non-Match Error Tone On.

Primary/Alternate Data Formats

You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your primary data format is saved under 0. Your other
three formats are saved under 1, 2, and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the bar codes below.

Primary Data Format

Data Format 1

 Data Format 3

Single Scan Data Format Change

You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next bar code is scanned using an alternate data format,
then reverts to the format you have selected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).
For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as Data Format 3. You can switch to Data Format
1 for a single read by scanning the Single Scan-Data Format 1 bar code below. The next bar code that is scanned uses
Data Format 1, then reverts back to Data Format 3.

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

All Symbologies On

All Symbologies Off

Note: Scanner performance may reduce by scanning All Symbologies On. Only scan All Symbologies On when needed.

Note: When All Symbologies On is scanned, 2D Postal Codes are not enabled. 2D Postal Codes must be enabled separately.

Message Length Description

You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. You may wish to set the same value for mini-
mum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09Max. length = 20

6-1
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of
the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character

Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can program the scanner to read only Codabar bar
codes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check
character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a
check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.

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

A 1 2 3 4 D D 5 6 7 8 A

Codabar Redundancy
If you are encountering errors when reading Codabar bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count. Redun-
dancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of errors.
Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy, scan
the following Codabar Redundancy bar code, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. Then scan the Save bar code. Default = 0.

Code 93 Append
This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 93 bar codes together before transmitting them to
the host computer. When this function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 93 bar codes that start with a space
(excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data. The scanner stores the data in the
order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the appended data when
it reads a Code 93 bar code that starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

Straight 2 of 5 IATA Redundancy

If you are encountering errors when reading Straight 2 of 5 IATA bar codes, you may want to adjust the redundancy count.
Redundancy adjusts the number of times a bar code is decoded before transmission, which may reduce the number of
errors. Note that the higher the redundancy count, the longer it will take to decode the bar code. To adjust the redundancy,
scan the Straight 2 of 5 IATA Redundancy bar code below, then scan a redundancy count between 0 and 10 on the

ISBT 128 Concatenation

In 1994 the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) ratified a standard for communicating critical blood informa-
tion in a uniform manner. The use of ISBT formats requires a paid license. The ISBT 128 Application Specification
describes 1) the critical data elements for labeling blood products, 2) the current recommendation to use Code 128 due to
its high degree of security and its space-efficient design, 3) a variation of Code 128 that supports concatenation of neigh-
boring symbols, and 4) the standard layout for bar codes on a blood product label. Use the bar codes below to turn concat-
enation on or off. Default =Off.

GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recog-
nize one data carrier type.)
If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID
is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

EAS Considerations
Do not install any large iron fixtures, such as steel support poles, near the Solaris 7980g. Doing so may re-shape the EAS tag
deactivation field.

EAS Deactivation
The Solaris 7980g supports deactivation of Checkpoint and Sensormatic/Tyco EAS tags. The following illustration shows the
location of the EAS deactivation area. It is important to pass the entire tag through this area to deactivate the security tag.
Note: Do not store tags within 18.0 in (45.7cm) of the Solaris 7980g. Tags stored closer than 18.0 in (45.7cm) may be
unintentionally deactivated. This area also includes storage areas located under the Solaris 7980g.

EAS Deactivation Zone

The entire tag must pass
through the EAS
deactivation area.

Programming an Auxiliary Scanner

Introduction
This chapter describes how to program auxiliary scanners that will be connected to the Solaris scanner.

Connecting by USB Serial

The Solaris 7980g auxiliary port supports Honeywell hand-held scanners with a menu system. Scan the following code to con-
figure the Honeywell hand-held scanner for the auxiliary port:

USB Serial

No extra configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.

Note: Once the auxiliary scanner is configured for USB Serial, do not scan any configuration codes with the auxiliary scanner.

Connecting by USB Keyboard

The Solaris 7980g auxiliary port supports Honeywell or third party hand-held scanners that supports USB Keyboard interface.
Follow the steps below to configure the auxiliary scanner. Contact the nearest technical support office (See Technical
Assistance on page ix) for further information.
Note: We recommend using Honeywell hand-held scanners. Non-Honeywell, or third party, scanners may not work with the
Solaris 7980g.

Step 1. Configure the scanner to USB Keyboard interface.

Step 2. Configure the scanner to output AIM I.D.
Step 3. Configure the scanner to output CR Suffix.
Step 4. Set the Keyboard Country Layout to U.S.A.
Note: Once the auxiliary scanner is configured for USB Keyboard, do not scan any configuration codes with the auxiliary
scanner.

Imaging Commands

The 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 scanner performs these functions.
Note: You must set the scanner a Serial Trigger Mode (page 3-4) in order to take images.

Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the scanner on a single-use basis, and take effect for a single
image capture. Once that capture is complete, the scanner 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 scanner.

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 a modifier to the Image Snap command, such as set-
ting the Imaging Style to 1P, you would enter IMGSNP1P.
Note: After processing an image capture command (IMGSNP or IMGBOX), you must follow it with an IMGSHP command if you
want to see it on your 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 IMGSNP1P;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
Image Snap - IMGSNP (page 9-1)
Image Ship - IMGSHP (page 9-3)
Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX (page 9-10)
The modifiers for each of these commands follow the command description.
Note: The images included with each command description are examples only. The results you achieve may be different from
those included in this manual. The quality of the output you receive will vary depending on lighting, quality of the initial
image/object being captured, and distance of the scanner from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is
recommended that you position your scanner 4-6" (10.2-15.2 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 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. Any num-
ber 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 Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and results in a visually optimized image.
2P 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 scanner, and has no auto-exposure.
B - Beeper
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.

9-1
 0B No beep (default)
1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured.
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. LED illumination (1L) is preferred when the scanner is handheld. LED State is not available
when using Decoding Style (0P).
0L LEDs off (default)
1L 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 scanner takes to record an image. On a bright day, expo-
sure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to help record an image. At nighttime, exposure time can
increase dramatically due to the near absence of light. Units are 127 microseconds. (Default = 7874)
nE Range: 1 - 7874
Example of Exposure at 7874E with Example of Exposure at 100E with
fluorescent lighting: fluorescent lighting:

G - Gain
Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel
value. As you increase the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified.
1G No gain (default)
2G Medium gain
4G Heavy gain
8G Maximum gain
Example of Gain at Example of Gain at Example of Gain at
1G: 4G: 8G:

9-2
 W - Target White Value
Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For capturing close-up images of high contrast doc-
uments, 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)
nW Range: 0 - 255
Example of White Example of White Example of White
Value at 75W: Value at 125W: Value at 200W:

D - Delta for Acceptance

This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using
Photo Style (1P). (Default = 25)
nD Range: 0 - 255
U - Update Tries
This sets the maximum number of frames the scanner should take to reach the D - Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is
only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default = 6)
nU Range: 0 - 10
% - Target Set Point Percentage
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or
below the target white value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is
not recommended under normal circumstances. To alter grayscale values, W - Target White Value should be used.
(Default = 50)
n% Range: 1 - 99
Example of Target Example of Target Example of Target
Set Point Set Point Set Point
Percentage at 97%: Percentage at 50%: Percentage at 40%:

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP

Image Ship - IMGSHP

An image is taken whenever 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. 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

9-3
 IMGSHP Modifiers
A - Infinity Filter
Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or 3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with
IMGSNP Modifiers (page 9-1).
0A Infinity filter off (default)
1A Infinity filter on
Example of Infinity Filter off (0A) Example of Infinity Filter on (1A)
from approximately 12 feet from approximately 12 feet (3.66m)
(3.66m) away: away:

C - Compensation
Flattens the image to account for variations in illumination across the image.
0C Compensation disabled (default)
1C Compensation enabled
Example of Compensation at 0C: Example of Compensation at 1C:

D - Pixel Depth
Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image (KIM or BMP format only).
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image

9-4
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.
0E Don’t sharpen image (default)
14E Apply edge sharpen for typical image
ne Apply edge sharpen using strength n (n = 1-24)
Example of Edge Sharpen at 0E: Example of Edge Sharpen at 24E:

F - File Format
Indicates the desired format for the image.
0F KIM format
1F TIFF binary
2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed
3F TIFF grayscale
4F Uncompressed binary (upper left to lower right, 1 pixel/bit, 0 padded end of line)
5F Uncompressed grayscale (upper left to lower right, bitmap format)
6F JPEG image (default)
8F BMP format (lower right to upper left, uncompressed)
H - Histogram Stretch
Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats.
0H No stretch (default)
1H Histogram stretch
Example of Histogram Stretch at 0H: Example of Histogram Stretch at 1H:

I - Invert Image
Invert image is used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis.
1ix Invert around the X axis (flips picture upside down)

9-5
 1iy Invert around the Y axis (flips picture left to right)

0ir Image as snapped (rightside up) (default)
1ir Rotate image 90 degrees to the right
2ir Rotate image 180 degrees (upside down)
3ir Rotate image 90 degrees to the left

Example of Image Rotate set to 0ir: Example of Image Rotate set to 2ir:

Example of Image Rotate set to 1ir: Example of Image Rotate set to 3ir:

J - JPEG Image Quality

Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image format is selected. Higher numbers result in higher quality, but larger files.
Smaller numbers result in greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, lower quality, but smaller files.
(Default = 50)
nJ Image is compressed as much as possible while preserving quality factor of n (n = 0 - 100)
0J worst quality (smallest file)
100Jbest quality (largest file)
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.
0K Gamma correction off (default)
50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image
nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 0-1,000)
Example of Gamma Example of Gamma Example of Gamma
Correction set to 0K: Correction set to 50K: Correction set to 255K:

L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping
Ships a window of the image by specifying the left, right, top, and bottom pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered
0 through 1279, and device rows are numbered 0 through 959.

9-7
 nL The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 843. (Default
= 0)
nR The right edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 843.
(Default = all columns)
nT The top edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 639. (Default = 0)
nB The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 639.
(Default = all rows)
Uncropped Image: Example of Image Crop Example of Image
set to 300R: Crop set to 300L:

Example of Image Crop set to 200B: Example of Image Crop set to 200T:

Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the image; thus only the center pixels are trans-
mitted.
nM Margin: cut n columns from the left, n + 1 columns from the right, n rows from the top, and n + 1 rows from the
bottom of the image. Ship the remaining center pixels. Range: 0 - 238.
(Default = 0, or full image)

Example of Image Crop set to 238M:

P - Protocol
Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the image data being sent to the host. It addresses the proto-
col used to send the data (Hmodem, which is an Xmodem 1K variant that has additional header information), and the for-
mat of the image data that is sent.
0P None (raw data)
2P None (default for USB)
3P Hmodem compressed (default for RS232)
4P Hmodem
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.
1S ship every pixel (default)
2S ship every 2nd pixel, both horizontally and vertically

9-8
 3S ship every 3rd pixel, both horizontally and vertically
Example of Pixel Ship set to 1S: Example of Pixel Example of Pixel
Ship set to 2S: Ship set to 3S:

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 fil-
ter should be used with gamma correction (see page 9-7) and the image captured using the command:
IMGSNP1P0L168W90%32D
This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E - Edge Sharpen command (see page 9-9). This
filter also works well when shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is 26U.
0U Document image filter off (default)
26U Apply document image filter for typical document image
nU Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use lower numbers when the image contrast is lower.
1U will have a similar effect to setting E - Edge Sharpen (page 9-5) to 22e. Range: 0-255.
Example of Document Example of Document
Image Filter set to 0U: Image Filter set to 26U:

V - Blur Image
Smooths transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image.
0V Don’t blur (default)
1V Blur
Example of Blur Image Off (0V): Example of Blur Image On (1V):

W - Histogram Ship
A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in
the shadows; a high-key image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated
in the midtones. This modifier ships the histogram for an image.
0W Don’t ship histogram (default)

9-9
 1W Ship histogram

Image Size Compatibility

If you have applications that expect an image ship to return exactly 640x480 pixels, scan the Force VGA Resolution bar
code. Default = Native Resolution.

Force VGA Resolution

* Native Resolution

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX

IMGBOX allows you to configure the size and location of a signature capture area relative to its proximity to a bar code. This
allows you to tailor a signature capture area to a specific form. In order to use IMGBOX, you need a set form where the signa-
ture box location is in a known location relative to a bar code. You can input the overall size of the signature area, as well as
specify how far the signature area is from the bar code, vertically and horizontally. You can also set the resolution and file format
for the final output of the signature capture image.
Note: IMGBOX commands can only be triggered by one of the following types of bar codes: PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec,
Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5. Once one of these symbologies has been read, the image is retained for a possible
IMGBOX command.

Signature Capture Optimize

If you will be using your scanner to capture signatures frequently, you should optimize it for this purpose. However, the
speed of scanning bar codes may be slowed when this mode is enabled. Default = Off.

Optimize On

* Optimize Off

9 - 10
Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the signature capture area is centered in the center of
the Solaris 7980g window. A single beep is emitted, indicating that the scanner has read a Code 128 bar code and the data has
been transferred to the host. An IMGBOX command may now be sent from the host to specify the coordinates of the signature
capture area below that code, and indicating that only that area containing the signature should be transferred as an image to
the host.
To see this example, align the signature area (not with the bar code) to the center of the window

Send the following IMGBOX command string after the good read:
Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.
Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity.

The following image is captured:

The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the size and appearance of the signature
image output by the scanner. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. 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 9-12) and W - Width of Signature Capture Area (page 9-13).

IMGBOX Modifiers
A - Output Image Width
This option is used to size the image horizontally. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero.
Example of Image Width set to 200A:

Example of Image Width set to 600A:

9 - 11
 B - Output Image Height
This option is used to size the image vertically. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero.

Example of Image Height set to 50B:

Example of Image Height set to 100B:

D - Pixel Depth
This indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image, which defines whether it will be grayscale or black and
white.
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image
F - File Format
This option indicates the type of file format in which to save the image.
0F KIM format
1F TIFF binary
2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed
3F TIFF grayscale
4F Uncompressed Binary
5F Uncompressed grayscale
6F JPEG image (default)
7F Outlined image
8F BMP format
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.
0K Gamma correction off (default)
50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image

9 - 12
 nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 1-255)
Example of Gamma
Correction set to 0K:

Example of Gamma Correction

set to 50K:

Example of Gamma Correction

set to 255K:

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area

The resolution is the number of pixels that the scanner 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 scanner 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 9-12).
Example of Resolution set to 0R:

Example of Resolution set to 1000R:

Example of Resolution set to 2000R:

S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio

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

9 - 13
 X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset
The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the signature capture area. Positive values move
the horizontal center to the right and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
Example of Horizontal Offset set to 75X:

Example of Horizontal Offset set to -75X:

Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset

The vertical bar code offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the signature capture area. Negative numbers indi-
cate that the signature capture is above the bar code, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the bar code.
Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
Example of Vertical Offset set to -7Y:

Example of Vertical Offset set to 65Y:

To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies

This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Charts,
beginning on 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.

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on a scanner connected
to your PC. EZConfig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware, change programmed parameters,
and create and print programming bar codes. Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters
for a scanner. 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.

EZConfig-Scanning Operations
The EZConfig-Scanning 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 scanner and receive scanner response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-
played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the scanner. The scanner's programming and configu-
ration 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 con-
figuration parameters specified for a scanner. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write
the modified settings to the scanner, or save them to a dcf file.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Scanner 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 scanner 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
scanner.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.
!
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scan-
ner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the
scanner to the factory default settings.

Remove Custom Defaults

Activate Defaults

The Menu Commands, beginning on page 12-3 list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an aster-
isk (*) on the programming pages).

Serial Programming Commands

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the
programming bar codes will program the scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming com-
mand, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 2-1). 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 [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name: To send information to the scanner, use :Solaris: The default factory setting for a Solaris scanner is Solaris scanner.
This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which accepts alphanumeric values. If the name is not known,
a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group. For example, all RS232
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 RS232 baud rate is BAD.
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs
the command’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table. A period (.) performs the command’s
operation on the device’s non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent
changes you want saved through a power cycle.

Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^ What is the default value for the setting(s).
? What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
* What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a
continuous range of values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)

:Name: Field Usage (Optional)

This command returns the query information from the scanner.

Tag Field Usage

When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of commands available for the particular
storage table indicated by the Storage field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used
because they are ignored by the device.

SubTag Field Usage

When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the
Tag field. In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.

12 - 1
 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.
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: 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: 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: 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: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter: cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;

12 - 2
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.

Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger
Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-4), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering (page 3-4).
Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate: SYN T CR
Deactivate: SYN U CR
The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been
reached (see "Read Time-Out" on page 3-5 for a description, and the serial command on page 12-8).

Resetting the Custom Defaults

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This
resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default
settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Activate Custom Defaults

The charts on the following pages list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the
programming pages).

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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 Technical Assistance on page ix).

Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the
following periodic checks ensure dependable operation:

Cleaning the Scanner

The scanner’s housing may be cleaned with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent-water solution.)
If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only.

! Caution:
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s
housing is not watertight.

Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner’s

window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never
use solvents (e.g., acetone) on the housing or window –
solvents may damage the finish or the window.

Cleaning the Window

Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t
operating well, clean the window with one of the cleaning solutions listed below.
• Sani-Cloth® HB wipes
• Sani-Cloth® Plus wipes
• Super Sani-Cloth® wipes
• Isopropyl Alcohol wipes (70%)
• CaviWipes™
• Virex® 256
• 409® Glass and Surface Cleaner
• Windex® Blue
• Clorox® Bleach – 10%
• Gentle dish soap and water

Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector
may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement
instructions are on page 14-1.

Replacing Cables in Corded Scanners

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular connector. When properly seated, the connec-
tor is held in the scanner by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.
• Order replacement cables from Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original interface cable.

14 - 1
 Replacing an Interface Cable
1. Turn the power to the host system OFF.

2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from the terminal or computer.

3. Remove the back cover.

1
4. Pinch the interface cable jack and gently pull cable from the port. Pull the cable through the back cover.
5. Replace with the new cable.

Replacing an EAS Cable

1. Turn the power to the host system OFF.
2. Disconnect the scanner’s cable from the terminal or computer.
3. Remove the back cover.

1
4. Pinch the EAS cable jack and gently pull cable from the port. Pull the cable through the back cover.
5. Follow the steps from Replacing an Interface Cable (see page 14-2) to remove the interface cable.
6. Replace with the new EAS cable. Insert the connector into the opening and it will click into place.

Troubleshooting a Corded Scanner

The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your scanner is not functioning properly, review
the following Troubleshooting Guide to try to isolate the problem.

14 - 2
Is the power on?
If the LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
• Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or
the Tab key, for example).
• You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to output the bar code data plus the key you
need (such as “CR”) to enter the data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 4-1 for further
information.
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host screen:
• The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play bar code. See Programming the Interface beginning on page 2-1.
• The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 6.
The scanner won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar
code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).
2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies On, page 6-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if you want the factory default settings
restored, refer to Resetting the Factory Defaults on page 11-4.

ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements

Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper charac-
ters, it may be because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host pro-
gram 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.
