Programming the Scanner The IS4320 is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default parameters. Defaults are noted in the following pages by double asterisks next to the bar code labels. Modifications to the default program to match the host system are made using bar codes contained in this manual.
Enter/Exit Program Mode Enter Program Mode When this option is selected, enter **Ability to Enter Program Mode After Any Scan programming by scanning the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM MODE bar code after power up or during normal scanning operation. When this option is selected, the scanner Enter Program Mode Only on First Scan will only enter program mode after power-...
Recall Defaults Laser Activation Range Short Range Activation When this option is selected, the IR sensor guarantees to activate when the Out of the Stand scanning window is positioned three inches from the object. Short Range Activation When this option is selected, the IR In the Stand sensor guarantees to activate when an object is presented three inches from...
Recall Defaults Same Symbol Re-Scan The scanner is programmed with a same symbol Short Same timeout. For SHORT SAME SYMBOL RE-SCAN, Symbol Re-Scan the time delay is ½ second, while the LONG SAME SYMBOL RE-SCAN delay is 1 second. These numbers represent the amount of time that a bar code must be out of the scan field before it can be scanned again.
Recall Defaults Audible Indicators for Communication Timeouts Two Second Timeout When this option is selected, the scanner will timeout if it does not transmit its data to the host after two seconds during communica- tion. This is only valid in modes where some type of hand-shaking is involved.
Enter/Exit Program Mode RS-232 Interface ** Enable RS-232 Interface RS-232 Parameter - Baud Rate A baud rate is a unit that measures the speed with which information transfers. The baud rate of the scanner must equal the baud rate of the host device. The available baud rates range from 150 to 19200.
Enter/Exit Program Mode RS-232 Parameter - Parity Parity is an additional digit that makes the number of bits in the ASCII code odd or even. The scanner’s parity must match the host’s parity. **Space Parity Select this option to make the parity bit always 0. Select this option to make the additional parity bit Even Parity either a 0 or 1 to guarantee an even number of bits.
Recall Defaults RS-232 Parameter - Data Bits RS-232 serial communication requires ASCII data to 8 Data Bits transmit in either 7 or 8 data bits. In addition, one parity bit will transmit. If necessary, scan the appro-priate bar code that matches your host device’s requirements. ** 7 Data Bits...
Enter/Exit Program Mode RS-232 Parameter - Hardware Handshaking Enable RTS/CTS To prevent scanned information from being lost during transmission, your host device may require an RTS/ CTS signal. When RTS/CTS (Ready To Send/Clear To Send) enables, the scanner will output an RTS signal and wait for a CTS signal before any data transmits.
Recall Defaults RS-232 Parameter - Software Handshaking For control of the data transmission process, use the following parameters instead of or in addition to the RTS/CTS hardware handshaking option. ACK/NAK When this option is enabled,the Enable ACK/NAK scanner will not scan again unless after transmission of a bar code it receives an ACK (ASCII 06H).
Enter/Exit Program Mode RS-232 Parameter - Intercharacter Delay The time specified with an intercharacter delay bar code represents the interim of time between transmission of characters. Some host systems require this delay when receiving transmissions. If necessary, scan the appropriate bar code.
Recall Defaults RS-232 Parameter - Scanning Control (DTR Signal) When the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) input is Enable DTR Input enabled, the scanner will not transmit unless an active (+12V) DTR signal is present on the scanner’s DTR input pin. You can disable the scanner by making DTR inactive (-12V) at the DTR input pin.

Recall Defaults ETX Suffix When this option is on, the scanner will transmit an End of TeXt (ASCII 03H) after each bar code. ETX Suffix On ** ETX Suffix Off Tab Prefix When this option is on, the scanner will transmit a TAB (ASCII 09H) before each bar code.
Enter/Exit Program Mode RS-232 Parameter - UPC/EAN Identifiers Prefix ID When this option is on, the scanner Prefix ID On will transmit a prefix before any UPC/ EAN bar code. The prefixes are A (UPC- A), E0 (UPC-E), F (EAN-13), and FF (EAN-8).
Recall Defaults Light Pen Options If the scanner is being used in place of a light pen, Enable Light scan the ENABLE LIGHT PEN INTERFACE Pen Interface bar code. When this interface, is enabled the scanner can output a bar or space as the high signal.
Enter/Exit Program Mode Code Type Selections Use the following bar codes to program the scanner to read different types of bar codes. This will enable the default settings for all of the bar code types. To improve reliability, disable the code types that will not be used. This will not decrease the amount of time it takes for the scanner to scan a bar code.
Enter/Exit Program Mode Minimum Code Length for All Code Types The minimum number of characters can be Minimum 1 Character specified in the bar code that will be scanned by scanning one of the follow ing bar codes. For example, when the minimum is 3,the scanner will not scan bar codes that have less than 3 characters.
UPC-A Options **Transmit UPC-A Number Sys When this option is selected , the scanner will transmit the UPC-A number system character. Metrologic strongly discourages the disabling of this feature because duplicate numbers may result in the database when the scanner is programmed not to transmit the UPC-A number system character.
Enter/Exit Program Mode UPC-E Options Expand UPC-E When this option is selected, the scanner will expand UPC-E to the 12 digit equivalent UPC-A. ** Do Not Expand UPC-E UPC-E Check Digit On When this option is on, the scanner will transmit the UPC-E check digit.
Recall Defaults Supplemental UPC Options When this option is enabled, the scanner will Enable 2 Digit Supps scan 2 digit supplementals. ** Disable 2 Digit Supps Enable 5 Digit Supps When this option is enabled, the scanner will scan 5 digit supplementals. ** Disable 5 Digit Supps When this option is selected , the scanner will Convert EAN-8 to EAN-13...
Enter/Exit Program Mode Code 39 **Enable Code 39 When this option is enabled, the scanner will scan Code 39 bar codes. Disable Code 39 Enable Mod 43 Check Digit When this option this enabled, the scanner will only scan Code 39 bar codes that have a Modulo 43 check digit.
Recall Defaults Enable Full ASCII Code 39 When this option is enabled, the scanner will scan full ASCII Code 39 bar codes. ** Disable Full ASCII Code 39 Codabar When this option is enabled, the scanner will **Enable Codabar scan Codabar bar codes.

Enter/Exit Program Mode Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) ** Enable ITF When this option is enabled, the scanner will scan Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) bar codes. Disable ITF Enable ITF Check Digit When these options are enabled, the scanner will scan ITF bar codes that have a Modulo 10 check digit.
Recall Defaults Interleaved 2 of 5 (ITF) Symbol Lengths Specify the number of ITF digits in the bar codes that will be scanned by scanning the appropriate bar codes. Specify a maximum of two bar code lengths. If all of the bar codes that will scan are variable lengths, program the scanner to VARIABLE LENGTH.
Enter/Exit Program Mode 48 Digits 50 Digits MSI - Plessey Check Digit Enable MSI - Plessey When this option is enabled, the scanner will scan Plessey bar codes. ** Disable MSI - Plessey **Enable MSI - Plessey Test of Check Digit When this option is enabled, the scanner will check the Plessey bar code for a proper check digit.

This option works with the Plessey Mod 10 and/or Plessey Mod 10/10 features. Enable this option and one or both of the Plessey Mod options in order for this feature to work.
When this option is enabled, the scanner Scannability will enter the scannability test mode. Do not enable this feature unless a Metrologic representative instructs to do so. When this option is selected, the scanner Normal Scan will exit from the scannability or scan count test modes.
