Reading Techniques
The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam
that corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam
should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction
for a good read.
Linear bar code
2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the code and larger
when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil
size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele-
ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple
symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance
from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If
the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be neces-
sary to tilt the code +5° to prevent unwanted reflection.

data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host
device suspends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to
the imager. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1,
hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.
Default = RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF and ACK/NAK Off.

Wand Emulation Connection
The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to
change the terminal ID only, without changing any other imager settings. We
recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your
imager to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes
change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID.
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbol-
ogies to Code 39.

The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and Inter-
leaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code
39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128.
The Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same

Scan Stand Mode
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan
Stand symbol (see below). When a different code is presented, the imager is
triggered to read the new code.
Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light
level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol. When
a symbol is presented, the imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting
of ambient light to operate correctly.

Scan Stand Symbol
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol
on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand
symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level
(default setting is high) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of
view.

Presentation Mode
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either
off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to
the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presenta-
tion Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the
room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

Note: The operation of advanced illumination units and non-advanced
illumination units differs slightly. When an advanced illumination unit is in

Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand, and Presentation, and Streaming Presentation Modes are
referred to as “hands free” modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a
hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the
time the imager should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands
Free Time-Out. Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no fur-
ther trigger pulls) the imager reverts to the original hands free mode.

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
the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced
closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the imager can
emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code imagers.)

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 symbolo-
gies (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 cen-
ter 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.

Preferred Symbology
Note: This selection does not apply to OCR.
The imager can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority
over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear
on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the imager in a retail setting to read UPC sym-
bols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some
licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use
Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the
Code 39.

Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority,
or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the
symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the
imager will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is
no bar code in the imager’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data
is reported.

are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and
after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies,
or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the break-

Points to Keep In Mind
•
It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter
are only used if you wish to alter the default settings. Default prefix = None.
Default suffix = None.
•
•
A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all
symbologies.
•
•
You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on
the output.
•
When setting up for specific symbologies, instead of All Symbologies, the
symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

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

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For exam-
ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in
bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used
only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however

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

In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in
the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo-
gies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128,
Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other
symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies are converted to Code 128. These

Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imager’s trigger when
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger
mode. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager either by
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read
Time-Out bar code, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default =

Manual Trigger, Low Power
When using Manual Trigger, Low Power, the imager powers down until the trig-
ger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the imager powers up and operates
until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time-Out bar
code below. There is a delay of up to one second in operation when the imager
is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power time-out
mode.

inside back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds.
If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into
low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer
is reset.
Low Power Time-Out
Note: This time-out does not begin until the imager time-out setting has expired.
Programming Low Power Time-Out in the secondary interface also
programs it in the primary interface.
Hands Free Time-Out
The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the
imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager
should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls)
the imager reverts to the original hands free mode.
Note: If you change the time-out duration for the secondary interface, the
duration of the primary interface will also be changed.
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration
(from 0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default =

Scan Stand Mode
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan
Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol that follows.) When a different code
is presented, the imager is triggered to read the new code.
Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light
level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol. When
a symbol is presented, the imager’s light levels adjust to the saved setting
Scan Stand Mode
Scan Stand Symbol
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol
on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand
symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level
(Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view.
Scan Stand Symbol
Presentation Mode
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either
off or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to
the imager. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presenta-
tion Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the
room is not high enough, Presentation Mode may not work properly.

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
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

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

Imaging Commands
The image scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates,
and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the
imager performs these functions.
Single-Use Basis
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the imager on a
single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture. Once that capture
is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings. If you want to
permanently change a setting, you must use the serial default commands (see
the new, permanent setting for the imager.
Command Syntax
Multiple modifiers and commands can be issued within one sequence. If addi-
tional modifiers are to be applied to the same command, just add the modifiers
to that command. For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap com-
mand, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T,
you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
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 IMGSNP1P1T;IMGSHP.
The imaging commands are:
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 imager from the image/object. To achieve a high quality image, it is
recommended that you position your imager 4-6" (10.16 - 15.24 cm) away
from the image/object you are capturing.

Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP
Image Snap - IMGSNP
An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image
Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers
and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be
appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound
once the snap is complete:
IMGSNP2G1B
IMGSNP Modifiers
P - Imaging Style
This sets the Image Snap style.
0P
Decoding Style. This processing allows a few frames to be
taken until the exposure parameters are met. The last frame is
then available for further use.
1P
2P
Photo Style (default). This mimics a simple digital camera, and
results in a visually optimized image.
Manual Style. This is an advanced style that should only be
used by an experienced user. It allows you the most freedom to
set up the imager, and has no auto-exposure.
B - Beeper
Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.
0B
1B
No beep (default)
Sounds a beep when the image is captured.
T - Wait for Trigger
Waits for a hardware button push before taking the image. This is only
available when using Photo Style (1P).
0T
1T
Takes image immediately (default)
Waits for a button push, then takes the image

L - LED State
Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination
(0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards,
especially when the imager is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is preferred
when the imager is handheld. LED State is not available when using Decoding
Style (0P).
0L
1L
LEDs off (default)
LEDs on
E - Exposure
Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure
time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The exposure
time determines how long the imager takes to record an image. On a bright
day, exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to
help record an image. At nighttime, exposure time can increase dramatically
due to the near absence of light. Units are 127 microseconds. (Default =
7874)

W - Target White Value
Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the captured image. For
capturing close-up images of high contrast documents, a lower setting, such
as 75, is recommended. Higher settings result in longer exposure times and
brighter images, but if the setting is too high, the image may be overexposed.
Target White Value is only available when using Photo Style (1P). (Default =
125)

% - Target Set Point Percentage
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A
setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value,
and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting
from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances. To alter

Step 2 - Ship a Picture Using IMGSHP
Image Ship - IMGSHP
An image is taken whenever the button is pressed, or when the Image Snap
(IMGSNP) command is processed. The last image is always stored in memory.
You can “ship” the image by using the IMGSHP command.
The image ship commands have many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image output. Modifiers affect the image that is transmit-
ted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with a num-
ber and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be
appended to the IMGSHP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap and ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and docu-
ment image filtering:

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.

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 signature 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.
The following IMGBOX example was executed and viewed using QuickView
software. This software is available at www.honeywellaidc.com. Click on Soft-
ware Downloads. Select your device from the Products list, then select Quick-
View Software Utility.
Below is an example of a signature capture application. In this example, the
aimer is centered over the signature capture area and the trigger is pressed. A
single beep is emitted, indicating that the imager has read a Code 128 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 aimer with the signature area (not with the bar
code), then press the trigger.
Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push:

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 imager.
Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in
memory. Modifiers always begin with a number and end with a letter (case
insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be appended to the IMGBOX com-
mand.

R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area
The resolution is the number of pixels that the imager outputs per each
minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the
image, but also the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The imager
automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit. For
example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.5. Set to zero when using the
Example of Resolution set to 0R:

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 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
The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided
by .01. In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4 inches,
resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was used in the
example to accommodate a slightly wider image area.)

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset
The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the

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 indicate 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.

OCR Programming
Use this section to program the imager for optical character recognition (OCR).
The 2D imager reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.
Note: OCR is not as secure as bar codes. To enhance security in OCR
applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an
OCR check character.
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
gramming codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Cur-
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 Fonts
Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the
imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but
not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased.
The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR
On codes listed below.

Note: OCR symbols can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use
presented upright to the imager.
Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.

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 sev-
eral choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can cre-
ate 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
Characters table below.

Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.
To Add an OCR Template
2. Begin building the template.
3. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you
Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your
template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template
would be:

To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
example:
37680981

Character Match Sequences
This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in
a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the
required position (template characters are always lower case).
Example: You need to read three variable digits, three specific characters
(ABC), followed by three variable digits. The template would be:
dddABCddd
above, enclosing the whole string between quotes: “dddABCddd”.
You may also create this character match sequence by scanning bar codes.
414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”),
This would let you read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then any string of
three digits, for example:
551ABC983
9-1) in order to read it.)
Adding Spaces
You may also need to put spaces in your template. A space is seen as a
character, therefore you can use the directions for Character Match
Sequences, above, to add spaces to a string. (The hex value for a space is
20.)
4. Exit OCR Template Editor
Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template
exits without saving any OCR Template changes.
Stringing Together Multiple Formats
(Creating “Or” Statements)
You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this,
you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read
optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination
of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template
would be:
ddddddddtddddlldd
9 - 5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
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
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.” You need a variable to repre-
sent the letters “A,” “B,” or “C.” The template for this user-defined variable
would be:
ABC
into the “G variable” text box. You must enclose the strings between quotes:
“ABC”.
You may also create this user-defined variable by scanning bar codes. Scan
from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), Scan Save
tion where you place the g in the template. For example, you could create the
following template:
ddddddggg
(Using Visual Xpress, you must enter “ddddddggg” in the Template text box.)
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
ABCDEFGH
ABCD1234
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 charac-
ter. The imager transmits the OCR data without the check character data. You
must specify the location of the check character in the template with a c.

10 Check Character symbol. Then scan the Enter OCR Template symbol,
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:

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:
9 - 8

0123456789X
dddddddc
Also enter the OCR template:
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
2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding
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
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 GS1 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 fol-
lowing 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
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
OCR ISBN Application Example
One application of OCR is to read the ISBN characters typically encoded using
the OCR-A or OCR-B font. This is especially useful when the ISBN number is
not encoded in an EAN-13 bar code. The following example shows how to con-
figure the imager to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan. After you have
followed the steps below, you will be able to scan the following ISBN number or
the additional data below it, depending on the line of text at which the imager is
aimed.
2. Program the user-defined variable “g” to comprise the ten digits plus the
dash:
0123456789-
3. In Japan, it is common for two fields to follow the ISBN number, the three
digit price field, and the four digit price field. The first field typically starts
with a “C” (uppercase c), followed by four digits. The second field typically
starts with a “P” or a yen symbol, followed by three or four digits, followed by
an “E.” Program the user-defined variable “h” to comprise the “P” and the
yen symbol (represented by a backslash).
P\

4. Scan the symbol below to set up three templates to handle the ISBN
number, the three digit price field, and the four digit price field.
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.
Note that all these commands can be combined into a single serial program-
ming command:
OCRENA2,TMP”ISBNggggggggggggctCdddd hdddEtCdddd
hddddE”,GPG”0123456789-”,GPH”P\”,CHK”0123456789X”.
These commands can be encoded into the following Aztec Code symbol:

2D PQA (Print Quality Assessment)
Two-dimensional Print Quality Assessment (2D PQA) is a feature of Honeywell’
image readers where the data from the successful read of a 2D bar code sym-
bol is augmented with lines of text that both identify the symbol, and also report
graded measurement parameters obtained from it.
2D PQA Reporting
Honeywell' 2D PQA reporting can be enabled in two different modes: Full
Report or Screening. (To see displayed results, Microsoft® Notepad, a word
If you are using Quick*View, you can enable Full Report, a listing of all of a sym-
bol's identifying information, measurements, and corresponding grades, by typ-

Visual Xpress Introduction
Note: Software revision 31205480-118 or higher is backward compatible with
all non-advanced illumination units. This new revision of software can be
flashed in non-advanced illumination units for full backward compatibility.
Software 31205480-090 or lower cannot be flashed into units with
advanced illumination. Visual Xpress will display an incompatibility error
message.
Non-Advanced

Illumination Unit
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that
can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change pro-
grammed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an
imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single
bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or
fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar
code to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a
physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an exter-
nal power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a
USB cable is required.
Visual Xpress Operations
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:
11 - 4
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a win-
dow. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive
imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data dis-
played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The
imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-
ries. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node
in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-
hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular cate-
gory. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration
parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as
required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them
to a dcf file.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D imager can perform.
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-
played in an image window. Images captured from the imager can be saved to
files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the
image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images.
Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the imager.
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.

Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings
are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag
A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
Data
The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage
A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s
non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table
only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power
cycle.

Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^
?
*
What is the default value for the setting(s).
What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de-
vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-
ues.)
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be
used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the
subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the
specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only
the Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the
sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the
new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag
and Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional com-
mand requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous
commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
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 charac-
ters.
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.

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;
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;

Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the imager with serial trigger commands. First,
the imager must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the
the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate: SYN T CR
Deactivate: SYN U CR
The imager 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
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your imager, or you’ve
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the Stan-
dard Product Default Settings bar code below.
Standard Product Default Settings
The chart on the following pages lists the factory default settings for each of the
menu commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

Maintenance
Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These ser-
vices are to be performed only by an authorized service center. See
"Customer Support" on page 15-1 for further information.
Maintenance
Your imager provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable imager operation:
Cleaning the Device
Reading performance may degrade if the imager’s window is not clean. If the
window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isn’t operating well, clean the window with
a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water
solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened
with water only.
The imager’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Caution:
!
Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use
abrasive wipes or tissues on the imager’s window –
abrasive wipes may scratch the window.
Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or
phenol-based agents) on the housing or window –
solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the imager’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with imager
operation. Contact your Honeywell distributor for information about cable

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 Honeywell or from an authorized distributor.
When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
To Replace the 4600g/4600r Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the side of
the imager’s handle. This is the cable
release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the
small hole and press in. This
depresses the retention tab, releasing
the connector. Pull the connector out
while maintaining pressure on the
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.

Release
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening
and press firmly. The connector is
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.

last position.
4. Locate the small hole on the side of
the stand. This is the cable release.
5. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
6. Insert the end of the paper clip into the
small hole and press in. This
depresses the retention tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out
while maintaining pressure on the paper clip, then remove the paper clip.

Troubleshooting
The imager automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
imager is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to
try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aiming beam on?
If the aiming beam isn’t illuminated, check that:
•
•
•
The cable is connected properly.
The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
The trigger works.
Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols?
If the imager isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
•
•
•
Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
Are enabled in the imager or in the decoder to which the imager connects.
Is the 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
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
•
The imager may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
The imager won’t read your bar code at all.

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.
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

Honeywell International Inc. ("HII") warrants its products to be free from defects
in materials and workmanship and to conform to HII’s published specifications
applicable to the products purchased at the time of shipment. This warranty
does not cover any HII product which is (i) improperly installed or used; (ii) dam-
aged by accident or negligence, including failure to follow the proper mainte-
nance, service, and cleaning schedule; or (iii) damaged as a result of (A)
modification or alteration by the purchaser or other party, (B) excessive voltage
or current supplied to or drawn from the interface connections, (C) static elec-
tricity or electro-static discharge, (D) operation under conditions beyond the
specified operating parameters, or (E) repair or service of the product by any-
one other than HII or its authorized representatives.
This warranty shall extend from the time of shipment for the duration published
by HII for the product at the time of purchase ("Warranty Period"). Any defective
product must be returned (at purchaser’s expense) during the Warranty Period
to HII factory or authorized service center for inspection. No product will be
accepted by HII without a Return Materials Authorization, which may be
obtained by contacting HII. In the event that the product is returned to HII or its
authorized service center within the Warranty Period and HII determines to its
satisfaction that the product is defective due to defects in materials or workman-
ship, HII, at its sole option, will either repair or replace the product without
charge, except for return shipping to HII.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER COVENANTS OR
WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
HII’S RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER
THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE
DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH NEW OR REFURBISHED PARTS. IN NO
EVENT SHALL HII BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL ANY LIABILITY OF HII
ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER
(WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM A CLAIM BASED ON CON-
TRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT PAID TO HII FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIA-
BILITY SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HII MAY
HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURIES, LOSSES,
OR DAMAGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSE-
QUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY
NOT APPLY TO YOU.

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.
