    Introduction About this Guide This programming guide has been developed specifically for the Marathon optional add-on bar code decoder module. The Marathon bar code decoder module contains a hybrid SE4400/SE4500 bar code decoding engine. Technical Assistance is available if you need help when using the bar codes in this guide.

  • Page 8: How To Scan A Bar Code

    Note: The function to use an imager like a camera (or for OCR decoding) is not supported. Using a Continuous Scan option, if available, to scan programming bar codes is not supported. The linear bar codes in this guide were created using Code 128 symbology. Your Marathon has been set up by Honeywell to automatically read / decode Code 128 bar codes.

  • Page 9: Good Read / Bad Read Indicators

    The scan On indicator illuminates (usually red) when the beam is on. Following a bar code scan and “good read” the indicator usually turns green and the Marathon beeps, indicating a successful scan. The mobile device may also play a WAV file while decoding.

  • Page 10: Temperature

    Note: Ring decoding devices do not have the ability to emit a good read or bad read sound. Beeper Frequency Adjustment Audible scan progress indicators are generated by the bar code reader driver on Honeywell mobile devices, not the bar code decoder engine. Use Windows Control Panel options to set up audible indicators.

  • Page 11: Return To Factory Default Settings

    Return to Factory Default Settings Important: After scanning the engine-specific bar code to return the imager to factory default settings, the next step is to open the bar code wedge panel on the mobile device collecting the scanned data. Click the OK button to close the panel. This action will synchronize all bar code reader formats for your device.

  • Page 13: Chapter 2 - Symbol Imager

    Symbol Imager Introduction This section’s explanations and instructions are directed toward the Symbol SE4400 /4500 Imager engine in the Marathon add- on module. Do not scan the bar codes in this section with any other imager or laser engine. Scan engine manufacturers may offer more bar codes and options than are contained in this section. Note that the bar codes in this section are only those supported by Honeywell on the device listed above.

  • Page 17: Set All Defaults / Cancel Bar Codes

    Use the Set All Defaults bar code to return all parameters to their default values. Scanning this bar code does not affect the Marathon operating system, wireless client or installed software settings. Note: When the Parameter Scanning parameter is disabled, the scan engine can still scan the Set All Defaults bar code. Default value of Parameter Scanning is Enable.

  • Page 18: Enable / Disable Parameter Scanning

    Enable / Disable Parameter Scanning Use this parameter to decide whether bar code reader parameters can be set using the bar codes in this section. Note: When this parameter is disabled, scan the Set All Defaults parameter bar code to enable parameter scanning. When disabled, either scan the Enable Parameter Scans bar code or the Set All Defaults bar code to reset the parameter.

  • Page 22: Decoding Illumination

    Decoding Illumination Note: When this parameter is disabled, any LED Illumination parameter setting is ignored. The decoder has three small bright LEDs situated above the scan aperture. Enable this parameter for LED illumination upon every decode. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases.

  • Page 23: Operational Mode

    Operational Mode In Decode Mode (the default mode), and upon a Scan button event, the imager attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of view. The decoder remains in this mode as long as the Scan button is pressed or until a bar code is decoded. Note: A Decode Mode bar code is not available.

  • Page 24: Picklist Mode

    Power Mode Note: The Marathon is designed to be operated in Low Power Mode. Honeywell recommends leaving this value unchanged. A parameter setting of Continuous On means the laser will not power down until the mobile device is powered off.

  • Page 25: Presentation Mode Session Timeout

    Presentation Mode Session Timeout This parameter, and the Presentation Mode parameter, are directed toward decoders that can scan a bar code that enters its field of view, determine a good read/bad read, then scan again. This parameter determines how long the decoder will attempt to decode a bar code before determining if it is a good read or a bad read.

  • Page 26: Time Delay To Low Power Mode

    Time Delay to Low Power Mode This parameter sets the time the decoder remains active after decoding. The decoder wakes upon a Scan button press or when the host attempts to communicate with the decoder. This parameter only applies when Power Mode is set to Low Power.

  • Page 27: Event Reporting
