About the Battery
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Honeywell. Use of any
battery not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may result in damage not
covered by the warranty.
!
Power is supplied to the cordless image scanner by a rechargeable battery that
is integrated in the image scanner handle. Each image scanner is shipped with
a battery. (See Product Specifications beginning on page 11-1.)
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the image scanner is positioned in the
cordless base unit. Refer to "2020 LED Sequences and Their Meaning" on
page 1-15 for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
•
Place the image scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate
power supply.

Battery Recommendations
•
Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully
charged for maximum charge capacity.
•
The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, as well
as can be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell
type battery.
•
Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the
battery.
•
•
Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the 3820/
3820i.
•
•
•
Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause
severe personal injury.
Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be
depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to
Honeywell or an authorized Honeywell International Inc. service center for
inspection. Refer to Product Service and Repair on page 13-2 for additional
information
Proper Disposal of the Battery
When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the
battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or haz-
ardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or
dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may
send batteries to Honeywell (postage paid). The shipper is
responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local
laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, mani-
festing, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the Product
Service Department (see 13-1) for recycling or disposal information. Since you
may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost
effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.

Base Charge Mode
In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the cir-
cuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied
to the base:
Condition 1:9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector
Condition 2:12VDC host power source only
Condition 3:5VDC host power source only

Linking Image Scanner to Base
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image scan-
ner are not linked. Once the image scanner is placed into the base, the soft-
ware automatically links the image scanner and the base. If the image scanner
and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this
is the first time that the image scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a
short chirp when their radios link. At this point, you are set to one image scan-
ner to one base.

2. Place the 3820/3820i into the base. The image scanner and base link.
3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the
sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the image scanner provides
a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the image scanner has
successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red
LED lights, the image scanner has not linked to the base.
Image Scanner Modes
The 3820/3820i is capable of working in single image scanner mode, multiple
image scanner mode, or with Bluetooth devices, other than the 2020 base.
Unlinking the Image Scanner
If the base has an image scanner linked to it, that image scanner must be
unlinked before a new image scanner can be linked. Once the previous image
scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base. To unlink an
image scanner from the base, scan the Unlink Image Scanner barcode below.
Unlink Image Scanner

Single Image Scanner Operation
There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link
Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate barcodes included in the
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one
mode to another. Default = Locked Link Mode.
Locked Link Mode - Single Image Scanner
If you link an image scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other image
scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the
* Locked Link Mode
(Single Image Scanner)
To use a different image scanner, you need to unlink the original image scanner
by scanning the Unlink Image Scanner barcode. (See "Image Scanner
Modes" on page 1-5.)
Open Link Mode - Single Image Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and image scan-
ner are not linked. By placing an image scanner into the base, they establish a
link. Placing a different image scanner into the base establishes a new link and
the old image scanner is unlinked. Each time an image scanner is placed into
the base, it becomes the linked image scanner; the old image scanner is
unlinked.
Open Link Mode
(Single Image Scanner)
Override Locked Image Scanner
If you need to replace a broken or lost image scanner that is linked to a base,
scan the Override Locked Image Scanner barcode below with a new image
scanner and place that image scanner in the base. The locked link will be over-
ridden; the broken or lost image scanner’s link with the base will be removed,
and the new image scanner will be linked.
Override Locked Image Scanner
(Single Image Scanner)

Multiple Image Scanner Operation
To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the barcode
below. Once you scan this barcode, the image scanner is unlinked from the
base and must be placed into the base to re-link.
Multiple Image Scanner Operation
Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image
scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth image scanner until you
unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of
range.
Image Scanner Name
You are able to assign a name to each image scanner you are using. It will be
to one base so that you will be able to control the image scanner receiving
imaging commands sent from the base. The default name for a 3820, for exam-
ple, is “3820”. If you have more than one 3820s linked to a base, the first image
scanner that is linked to the base receives commands addressed using this
name.
Changing Image Scanner Name - Serially
If you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (refer
to "Menu Command Syntax" on page 10-1) or via a barcode command. To
change the name serially, unlink all except one of the 3820/3820i devices from
the base. Send “:3820:BT_NAMname.”, where name is the new image scanner
name. If you wish to change the name of additional 3820/3820i devices, re-link
them one at a time and repeat the “:3820:BT_NAMname.” command for each
image scanner.
1 - 7
Changing Image Scanner Name - via Barcodes
If you wanted to set up your image scanners with names 0001-0007, you may
scan the barcodes below. Scan the Reset barcode after each name change
and wait for the image scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next
barcode to name the next image scanner.
0001

Reset
Alternatively, you may change the name with a barcode command if you cannot
send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the barcode
below and scan a number for the image scanner name. For example, if you had
7 image scanners to one base, scan the barcode below with the first image
scanner, scan the 1 barcode on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual and scan Save. Then scan the Reset barcode and wait for the
that process for image scanner number 2, 3, 4 etc.
Image Scanner Name
If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the image scanner, create a Code
128 barcode containing “~BT_NAMname.” followed by a FNC3 character (hexi-
decimal 83), where name is the new image scanner name. Scan the Reset bar-
code (page 1-8 or on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual). You may use Barcode Builder, which is included with Quick*View.
You may download Quick*View from the Honeywell International Inc. website:

Image Scanner Report
Scan the barcode below to generate a report for the connected image scanners.
The report indicates the port, work group, image scanner name, and address.
Image Scanner Report
Application Work Groups
Your cordless system can have up to seven image scanners linked to one base.
You can also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the image
scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one
work group. If you want each image scanner to have unique settings (e.g.,
beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter), then you may program each image
scanner to its own unique work group and may program each image scanner
independently. Visual XPress (page 9-1) makes it easy for you to program your
system for use with multiple image scanners and multiple work groups.
The image scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the
image scanner is connected or reconnected to a base, the image scanner is
updated with the latest settings from the base for its work group. The image
scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base. If an
image scanner is removed from one base and placed into another base, it will
be updated with the new base settings for whatever work group that the image
scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the image scanner was in
work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the sec-
ond base with the associated settings.

Using the Image Scanner with Bluetooth Devices
The 3820/3820i image scanner may be used either with the 2020 base or with
other Bluetooth devices. Scanning the Non-Base Bluetooth Connection bar-
code below allows the image scanner to be used with other Bluetooth devices
(e.g., PDA, PC - Bluetooth USB Adapter). After you scan the barcode below,
follow the instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device to locate the image
scanner and connect to it. If you go out of range with your image scanner, the
image scanner automatically reconnects to the Bluetooth device. If you want to
relink to the 2020 base, refer to "Override Locked Image Scanner" on page 1-6
or "Resetting the Standard Product Default Settings: All Application Work
Groups" on page 1-11.
Note: The multiple work groups option is not available when you are using the
imager with Bluetooth devices other than the 2020 base.

Basic Operation of the Cordless System
Cordless Base
The cordless base provides the link between the cordless image scanner and
the host system. The base contains an interface assembly and an RF commu-
nication module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange
between the cordless image scanner and the interface assembly. The control
assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/
receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software
activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics),
and data translation required for the host system.
The base also is the image scanner battery charger with the external 9VDC
power source applied. Once you place the image scanner into base, the base
green LED responds according to the Charge Status Indicator table above.
The base can be powered by the Host (parasitic power mode). If the base is in
parasitic power mode without the 9VDC power source, the base will still func-
tion, but will not charge the battery.
1 - 16
RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
The cordless system uses a state-of-the-art two-way Bluetooth radio to transmit
and receive data between the image scanner and the base. Designed for point-
to-point and multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a
license free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data
rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cord-
less system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications
and resistant to noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides
range of 33 feet (10m) depending on the environment.
Cordless Image Scanner
The cordless image scanner enables fast and accurate barcode scanning using
a non-contact linear image scanner.
The image scanner is comprised of a linear image scanner, a decode/control
assembly, and an RF communication module. The scan engine performs the
barcode image illumination and sensing. The decode/control assembly coordi-
nates the central communication activities including: capturing and decoding
the barcode image data, performing software activities (parameter menuing,
visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data translation required for
the host system. The RF communication module performs the data exchange
between the image scanner and the base.
System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associ-
ate an image scanner to a base, as you move an image scanner out of range,
bring an image scanner back in range, or swap image scanners between two
cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system oper-
ating conditions.
Linking Process
Once an image scanner is placed into the base, the image scanner’s battery
charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the image scan-
Image Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless image scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is
not transmitting barcode data. Whenever the image scanner can’t communi-
cate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the image scanner is
out of range and you scan a barcode, the image scanner issues a triple beep
indicating no communication with the base. In addition, your image scanner
and base can sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. See Out-of-
Range Alarm on page 1-12.
Image Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The image scanner re-links if the image scanner or the base have been reset or
out of range. If the image scanner re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the
re-linking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete.
1 - 17
Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation Mode
On
The image scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC
symbols, others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base
when back in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode,
but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communica-
tion is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the image scanner pro-
duces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.
Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host
The cordless image scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a
“good read” indication (a green LED on the image scanner and an audible
beep) after a barcode is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged
receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way
communication between the image scanner and the base.
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was
received by the host. The cordless image scanner recognizes data acknowl-
edgement (ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data
has been properly sent to the base, the image scanner issues an error indica-
tion. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host
system.

Connecting the Base When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
A base can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a
keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
1 - 18
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the
appropriate
interface cable
to the base and
to the terminal/
computer and
keyboard. Make
sure the cables
are secured in
the wireways in
the bottom of
the base and
that the base
sits flat on a
horizontal
surface.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on.
5. Program the base for the keyboard wedge interface. See "Keyboard Wedge
Connection" on page 1-21.)
6. Verify the base operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols
in the back of this manual.
Note: Without using the 9-volt external, power supply, the base only uses
enough power from the host to operate the interface. The image
scanner’s battery is not charged when in this mode. Using the 9-volt,
external power supply allows the image scanner’s battery to be charged,
and no power is drawn from the host.

Reading Techniques
The image scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that
corresponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming line should be centered
horizontally over the barcode; it will not read if the aiming line is in any other
direction.
Good Read
Bad Read
Bad Read
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7
cm) from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an
the trigger, and center the aiming line on the symbol.
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your image scanner, or
you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings barcode below.
The Menu Commands starting on page 10-6 lists the factory default settings for
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
Note: Scanning this barcode also causes both the image scanner and the base
to perform a reset and become unlinked. Refer to "Linking Image
Scanner to Base" on page 1-5 for additional information.

Wand Emulation Plug & Play
In Wand Emulation mode, the image scanner decodes the barcode then sends
symbologies to Code 39.
The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5
without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39.
The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Code 39 Format barcode below sets the
terminal ID to 61. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Same Code Format bar-
code sets the terminal ID to 64. These Plug & Play barcodes also set the Trans-
mission Rate to 25 inches per second, Output Polarity to black high, and Idle
State to high. (If you want to change the terminal ID only, without changing any
other image scanner settings, please refer to Terminal ID on page 2-1.)

Connecting the Base with Serial Wedge
The 2020 uses TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial network. Use
only 2020 serial wedge cables to prevent damage to the base. Refer to Con-
necting the Base with RS-232 Serial Port on page 2-8 to set the baud rate and
communications protocol.
1. Turn off power to the computer.
2. Disconnect the existing serial cable from the computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base. Make sure the cables
are secured in the wireways in the bottom of the base and that the base sits
flat on a horizontal surface.
Note: For the base to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your
type of computer.
4. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the
two screws to secure the connector to the port.

Terminal ID
If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to "Supported Terminals" on page
2-2 through page 2-3, and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the
Terminal ID barcode below, then scan the numeric barcode(s) from the Pro-
gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to program the image
scanner for your terminal ID. Scan Save to save your selection.
For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003. You would scan the
Terminal ID barcode, then 0, 0, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual, then Save. If you make an error while scanning the digits
(before scanning Save), scan the Discard code on the Programming Chart,
scan the Terminal ID barcode, scan the digits, and the Save code again.
Note: The default interface for the 2020-5BE is Keyboard Wedge (Term ID =
003).

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common
to U.S. keyboards).
Shift Lock
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off.
The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off (AT and PS/2
only). This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED which
notes the Caps Lock status.
Automatic Caps Lock
Autocaps via NumLock barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g., Ger-
many, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the Num-
Lock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

5. Once the base has been fully connected, power up the computer.
All communication parameters between the image scanner and terminal must
match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.
Scanning the RS-232 interface barcode, programs the image scanner for an
RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds
a suffix of a CR LF.

RS-232 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 applica-
tion requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and
punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which 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.

RS-232 Handshaking
RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the image scan-
ner using software commands from the host device. CTS/RTS operates in
mode 2. When this feature is turned Off, no data flow control is used. When
Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by
sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the image scanner. To resume
2 - 10
transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmis-
sion continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = RTS/CTS, XON/
XOFF and ACK/NAK Off.
RTS/CTS On
* RTS/CTS Off
XON/XOFF On
* XON/OFF Off
ACK/NAK On

Host ACK Selection
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject
tions require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted
from the source image scanner. Turning the Host ACK selection on, configures
the cordless system image scanners to respond to commands from the host
system.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
•
The cordless system must be configured for Host Port RS-232 (terminal ID =
000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
•
•
•
RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
Host ACK must be enabled (page 2-12).
System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than
9600.
•
The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the barcode data,
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape
commands to the source image scanner.
Escape commands are addressed to the source image scanner via “Application
Work Groups.” Once a command is sent, all image scanners in a group respond
to that command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each
image scanner is assigned to its own group in host ACK mode.
The commands to which the image scanner responds are listed on page 2-13.
The <ESC> is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y <ESC> x, where “y” is
the application work group number, “<ESC> x” is the escape command, and the
comma is the terminator, which is required.
2 - 11
Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An
example of a command string is listed below.
0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6,
The above example will make an image scanner in application work group zero
beep low, medium, high.
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:
•
The image scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/host system.
No audible or visual indication is emitted until you receive an escape
command. The image scanner read illumination goes out upon a successful
read.
•
•
Image Scanner is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from
the host system (via the base) or 2) the image scanner “times out.”
Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the image scanner is ready to
scan again, and the process repeats.
Time out is indicated by three rapid beeps at the same pitch. A time out occurs
if the source image scanner does not receive a valid escape command in 10
seconds. If a time out occurs, the operator should check the host system to
understand why a response to the image scanner was not received.

Wand Emulation
Wand Emulation Connection
The Wand Emulation Connection barcodes should be used if you want to
change the terminal ID only, without changing any other image scanner set-
tings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play barcodes to program
your image scanner to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug &
Play barcodes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal
ID. Please refer to Wand Emulation Plug & Play on page 1-22 for further infor-
mation.
In Wand Emulation mode, the image scanner decodes the barcode then sends
data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all
symbologies to Code 39.
The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5
without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. 2D sym-
bologies are converted to Code 128.
The Code 39 Format barcode below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same
Code Format barcode sets the terminal ID to 64.

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
barcode below and then scan a digit (1-9) barcode and the Save barcode on the
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = One.

Image Scanner Trigger Modes
Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power
You can activate the image scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a
serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 10-4). When in
manual trigger mode, the image scanner scans until a barcode is read, or until
the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the image scanner scans until a barcode has been read or
until the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the image scanner can
also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-
Out (Serial Trigger Mode), which follows).
* Manual/Serial Trigger
3 - 3
Read Time-Out (Serial Trigger Mode)
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the image scanner’s
trigger when using serial commands to trigger the image scanner. Once the
image scanner has timed out, you can activate the image scanner either by
pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read
Time-Out barcode, set the time-out duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by
scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover, then scanning
Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Read Time-Out
Image Scanner Power Time-Out Timer
Note: The Image Scanner Power Time-out Timer option only applies to Manual/
Serial Trigger.
When there is no activity within a specified time period, the image scanner enters
low power mode. Scan the appropriate Image Scanner Power Time-Out
barcode to change the time-out duration (in seconds).
Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.
3 - 4
If there are no trigger pulls during the “image scanner power time-out timer”
interval, the image scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger
is enabled, the “image scanner power time-out timer” is reset. If the image
scanner is placed in the 2020 cradle and the battery is in the process of being
charged, the image scanner will not go into power down mode.

Note: When the image scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to power
the unit back up. There will be a set of power up beeps and a delay of up
to a few seconds for the radio to join. The image scanner will then be
ready to use.
Automatic Trigger
The image scanner scans continuously at full power with illumination fully on.
Automatic Trigger
Presentation Mode
The LEDs are off until a barcode is presented to the image scanner. Then the
LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient
light to detect the barcodes. If the light level in the room is not high enough,
Presentation Mode will not work properly.

Hands Free Time-Out
The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free”
modes. If the image scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode,
the image scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the
image scanner 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 image scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out barcode, then scan the time-out duration (from
0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 5,000
ms.
Hands Free Time-Out
Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the image scanner can read the same barcode
a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the
same barcode. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at
POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive barcode
scanning is required. Default = Medium.
Reread Delay only works when in automatic trigger mode (see page 3-5).

Centering Window
Use the centering feature to narrow the image scanner’s field of view so the
image scanner reads only the barcode you want. When centering is turned on,
the image scanner only reads codes that intersect or are contained within the
centering window you set up. At least part of a barcode must be within the
window to be decoded or output by the image scanner.
To change the left or right edge of the centering window, scan Centering On,
then scan one of the following barcodes. Then scan the percent you want to shift
the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan
Save. Default Centering = 40% for Left, 60% for Right.

Preferred Symbology
The 3820/3820i 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
symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since
some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can
use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of
the Code 39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority,
or as an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the
imager ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on
page 3-9) while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority
symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the imager
will read any 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.
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.

High Priority Symbology
To specify the high priority symbology, scan the High Priority Symbology bar
code below. On the Symbology Chart 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 Chart 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 imager 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.

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the barcode data will be output to the host as the image
scanner decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited
sequence or the image scanner will not transmit the output data to the host
device.
Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is
turned on.
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the image scanner to output
data (when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application
requires, regardless of the order in which the barcodes are scanned. Reading
the Default Sequence symbol programs the image 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
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-
11).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-
ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the
back cover of this manual.
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 inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered
as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculat-
ing the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or format-
ted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-2, find the
Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Pro-
gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanu-
meric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the
Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes,
but you want the image 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
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”

To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to
count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the
length. If you use the example on page 3-12, but assume a <CR> suffix and
specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols with a single pull of the image scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold
the trigger, aiming the image scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique
symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The image scanner attempts
to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this
programming selection is turned Off, the image scanner will only read the
symbol closest to the aiming beam.
Multiple Symbols On
* Multiple Symbols Off
3 - 13
No Read
With No Read turned On, the image scanner sends an “NR” to the host if you
pull and release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad barcode). If No
Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.
No Read On
* No Read Off
If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”
you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter (page 5-4). The hex
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.
Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the image scanner to read barcodes that are
inverted. The “Off” barcode below is an example of this type of barcode.
Note: If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to
read the menu barcodes and then re-enabled after menuing is
completed.

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

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) on page A-2, 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.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-3).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix
or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
4 - 1
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
the Appendix A) for UPC.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes:
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol-
ogy. When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is
deleted from the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes),
all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology are deleted.
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 Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the
prefix or suffix.

Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the
scanned data, the image scanner transmits the function code to the terminal.
Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys start-
ing on page 7-3. When the image scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the
scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage
Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, increasing data integrity.
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the image scanner’s output. For
example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain
points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages
are used only if you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting =
None.
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically; however when
you do a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on
page 5-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the image 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 Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and
return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.
To Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4).
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan
one barcode using a different data format. After the one barcode has
been read, the image scanner reverts to the primary data format. See
page 5-5.) If you are programming the 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 the
alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-2) and locate the Ter-
minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric barcodes on the
inside back cover to program the image scanner for your terminal ID
(you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
5 - 1
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Appendix A, find the symbology to which you want to apply the
data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2
digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program-
ming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters
is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (page 5-2). Scan the
meric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

Alternate Data Formats
Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one barcode using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro-
grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri-
mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar-
codes below. The image scanner will scan the next barcode, formatting the
data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary
format.

All Symbologies
If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your image 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 sym-
bol for that particular symbology.

Message Length
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies.
If the data length of the scanned barcode doesn’t match the valid reading length,
the image scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value
for minimum and maximum length to force the image scanner to read fixed
length barcode data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE:Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:Decode only those barcodes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save barcodes on the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

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

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

Code 39 Append
This function allows the image scanner to append the data from several Code
39 barcodes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this
function is enabled, the image scanner stores those Code 39 barcodes that
start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immedi-
ately transmit the data. The image scanner stores the data in the order in which
the barcodes are read, deleting the first space from each. The image scanner
transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 barcode that starts with a
character other than a space. Default = Off.

Code 39 Code Page
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar-
code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the
one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, scan the barcode below,
select the code page with which the barcodes were created from the chart,
Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes on page A-4, and scan the value and
the SAVE barcode from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this

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 barcodes on a blood
product label. Use the barcodes below to turn concatenation on or off. Default

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 Chart, page A-1) for the single char-
acter 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 tempo-
rary setting that will be removed when the unit is reset. For instructions on how
to reset your image scanner, refer to Reset Image Scanner (page 8-1).

Visual Xpress
Visual Xpress Introduction
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that
can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change pro-
grammed parameters, and create and print programming barcodes. Using
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an
imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single
barcode that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or
fax that barcode to any location. Users in other locations can scan the barcode
to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a
physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an 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:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan barcodes and display the barcode 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.

Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming
barcodes. Both the serial commands and the programming barcodes will pro-
gram the 2020. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode in this
manual.
The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-21). 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 image scanner (with the base connect-
ed to host): :3820/3820i: The default factory setting for a 3820/
3820i image scanner is 3820/3820i. This setting is changed by us-
ing the BT_NAM command, which accepts alphanumeric values.
If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to the
image scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the
base and not to the image scanner.
Tag
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.
10 - 1
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.)
:Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the image 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.
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 (;).
10 - 2
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACKIndicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQIndicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAKIndicates 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 mini-
mum 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 #1:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena*.
Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of
values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example #2: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable
(CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example #3: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:
cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on.
10 - 3
Example #4: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter: cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit;
the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required;
concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled;
the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters;
and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.
Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the image scanner with serial trigger com-
mands. First, the image scanner must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode
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 image scanner scans until a barcode has been read, until the deactivate
command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see Read
Time-Out (Serial Trigger Mode) on page 3-4 for a description, and the serial
command on page 10-12).
Resetting the Standard Product Default Settings:
Current Application Work Group

The Menu Commands starting on page 10-6 list the factory default settings for
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
Note: Scanning this barcode also causes both the image scanner and the base
to perform a reset and become unlinked. Refer to "Linking Image
Scanner to Base" on page 1-5 for additional information.
Standard Product Default Settings:
Current Application Group
Note: If your image scanner is in multiple image scanner mode and you scan
either the current or all application group default barcode, you will hear up
to 30 seconds of beeping while all image scanners are re-linked from the
base and the settings are defaulted to * settings. The default interface is
keyboard wedge and the default image scanner mode is single image
scanner locked link mode.

Maintenance
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 13-1 for further information.
Cleaning the Device
Reading performance may degrade if the image scanner’s window is not clean.
If the window is visibly dirty, or if the image scanner isn’t operating well, clean
the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild
soapy water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tis-
sue dampened with water only.
The base and image scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Caution:
!
Do not submerge the image scanner in water. The image
scanner’s housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the image
scanner’s window – abrasive wipes may scratch the
window. Never use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on
the housing or window – solvents may damage the finish
or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the base’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of dam-
age. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with image scan-
ner operation. Contact your Honeywell distributor for information about cable
replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 12-2.
12 - 1
Replacing the 2020 Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the base’s cable from the
terminal or computer.
3. Turn the base upside down.
4. Pull the connector out while
maintaining pressure on the
connector release clip.
5. 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.
Changing the 3820/3820i
Battery:
1. Remove the screw on the end
cap on the 3820. On the
3820i, unscrew the thumb-
wheel end cap.
2. Remove the battery from the
handle.
3. Insert battery.
4. Replace end cap and screw or
tighten the thumbwheel end
cap.

Troubleshooting
Base
Note: Please visit the Services and Support section of our website
image scanner and the base.
If your base is not functioning properly, review the following troubleshooting
guidelines to try to isolate the problem.
Is the red LED on?
If the red LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
12 - 2
•
•
The power cable is connected properly and there is power at the power
source.
The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the green LED on?
If the green LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
•
•
•
•
The image scanner is correctly placed in the base.
There is external power or 12 volt host power.
Charge mode is turned on. (See "Base Charge Mode" on page 1-4)
The battery is not bad or deeply discharged. In some cases, the image
scanner’s battery may trickle charge to bring it into an acceptable level and
then transition to a normal charge cycle.
Troubleshooting the Image Scanner
Note: Make sure that your image scanner’s battery is charged.
Note: Please visit the Services and Support section of our website
image scanner and the base.
Is the image scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the image 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 base to which the image scanner connects.
Is the barcode displayed but not entered into the application?
The barcode is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press
a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the image scanner
to output the barcode data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the
data into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 4-1 for fur-
ther information.
Does the image scanner read the barcode incorrectly?
If the image scanner reads a barcode, but the data is not displayed correctly on
the host screen:
•
The base may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the base with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection
barcode. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
•
The base may not be programmed to output your barcode data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the base with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 6.
12 - 3
1. Scan the sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the image scanner
reads the sample barcodes, check that your barcode is readable.
Verify that your barcode symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6).
Symbologies on page 6-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the base, or if you
want the factory default settings restored, scan Resetting the Standard Product
Default Settings: Current Application Work Group on page 10-4.
Troubleshooting the Cordless System
The image scanner must be linked to the base for the system to work properly.
See "Linking Image Scanner to Base" on page 1-5.

defective product must be returned (at purchaser’s expense) during the War-
ranty Period to Honeywell’s factory or authorized service center for inspection.
No product will be accepted by Honeywell without a Return Materials Authoriza-
tion, which may be obtained by contacting Honeywell. In the event that the
product is returned to Honeywell or its authorized service center within the War-
ranty Period and Honeywell determines to its satisfaction that the product is
defective due to defects in materials or workmanship, Honeywell, at its sole
option, will either repair or replace the product without charge, except for return
shipping to Honeywell.
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.
HONEYWELL’S RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REM-
EDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE REPAIR OR REPLACE-
MENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH NEW OR REFURBISHED
PARTS. IN NO EVENT SHALL HONEYWELL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL
ANY LIABILITY OF HONEYWELL ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY

FROM A CLAIM BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHER-
WISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID TO HONEYWELL FOR THE
PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SHALL REMAIN IN FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HONEYWELL MAY HAVE BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURIES, LOSSES, OR DAM-
AGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAM-
13 - 3
AGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
All provisions of this Limited Warranty are separate and severable, which
means that if any provision is held invalid and unenforceable, such determina-
tion shall not affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions hereof.
Use of any peripherals not manufactured/sold by Honeywell may result in dam-
age not covered by this warranty. This includes but is not limited to: cables,
power supplies, cradles, and docking stations. Honeywell extends these war-
ranties only to users of the products. These warranties are non-transferable.

Code Page Mapping of Printed Barcodes
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the
barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from
the one the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page
with which the barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear
properly.
Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.

Minimizing Bluetooth/ISM Band Network
Activity
The settings described below can help you customize the re-linking behavior of
the cordless linear imaging system to obtain the best compromise between
convenience and low interference.
Note: ISM band refers to the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz frequency band used by wireless
networks, cordless phones, and Bluetooth.
Auto Reconnect Mode
Auto Reconnect controls whether or not the image scanner automatically begins
the re-link process when a loss of connection is detected. When the Auto
Reconnect On barcode is scanned, the image scanner begins the re-link
process immediately, without user intervention. Default = Auto Reconnect On.
* Auto Reconnect On
The table below shows the results of the Auto Reconnect On and Off settings:

Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the image
scanner tries to form a connection with a base unit or PC. During the
connection setup process, the image scanner transmits in order to search for
and connect to a base unit. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that
could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to
connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is
reached, the image scanner will not attempt to reconnect to the base unit.
Pressing the trigger or placing the image scanner in the cradle resets the
attempt count and the image scanner will again try to link to the base unit.
When set to zero, the image scanner will try to link until the Power Time-Out
Timer setting (see page 3-4) expires.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts barcode, then scan the number of attempts
for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the
setting. Default = 0.
Maximum Link Attempts
B - 2
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between re-link attempts. An attempt to
link an image scanner to a base unit typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the
time when the image scanner is actually attempting to contact base unit. Relink
Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end
of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of image
scanners connected to a base unit. An extra 7 seconds may be required
when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out barcode, then scan the number of seconds for the
setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting.
Default = 3 seconds.
Relink Time-Out
Bluetooth/ISM Network Activity Examples
Default values:
When the image scanner goes out of range, the image scanner repeatedly
attempts to connect to base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5
seconds of active time followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After one hour, the
image scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Maximum Link Attempts set to 15
Other values at default setting:
When the image scanner goes out of range, 15 attempts are made to link to
the base unit. Each attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time
followed by 3 seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2
minutes, the image scanner stops trying to connect to the base unit, but retains
any barcodes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the
image scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost.
Auto Reconnect Mode set to 0
Other values at default setting:
When the image scanner goes out of range, no action is taken to re-link. When
the trigger is pulled, 15 attempts are made to link to the base unit. Each
attempt consists of approximately 5 seconds of active time followed by 3
seconds of idle time. After 15 cycles (8*15 =120), or about 2 minutes, the
image scanner stops trying to connect to the base unit, but retains any
barcodes that may have been saved in batch mode. After one hour, the image
scanner powers off and batch mode data is lost. Refer to (see Auto Reconnect
Mode on page B-1), to review other events that can start the re-link process.

Image Scanner Power Time-Out Timer set to 1800:
Note: See Image Scanner Power Time-Out Timer on page 3-4.
The image scanner attempts to connect to the base unit every 15 seconds,
measured from start of attempt to start of attempt. After one half hour, the
image scanner powers off.
