CHAPTER GET STARTED Introduction The N3680 scan engine is designed for integration into a wide range of OEM devices. The scan engine’s compact mechanical design can drop into many exist- ing applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate the...
CF3680 Full-Speed USB Linear, 2D, postal Connect the Development N3680 Scan Engine to a PC The development OEM scan engine can connect to a PC for evaluation. Connect with USB Note: The N3680XX-XX-USB scan engine will only communicate USB through the 10 pin modular connector.
If connecting the scan engine using an RS-232 interface, all communication parameters between the scan engine and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan the RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs the scan N3680 Decoded Engine User Guide...
The scan engine has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming square. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can also be positioned outside of the center for a good read. Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol N3680 Decoded Engine User Guide...
15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection. Menu Bar Code Security Settings Honeywell scan engines are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by send- ing serial commands to the scan engine. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings.
Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings. Activate Custom Defaults Note: To remove custom defaults, see "Resetting the Factory Defaults" on page 8-142. N3680 Decoded Engine User Guide...

Scan the following code to program the scan engine to emulate a regular RS232- based COM Port. If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will need to down- load a driver from the Honeywell website (www.honeywellaidc.com). The driver will use the next available COM Port number. Apple® Macintosh computers recognize the scan engine as a USB CDC class device and automatically use a class driver.
This bar code sets the baud rate to 2400 bps and the data format to 7 data bits, even parity, 2 stop bits. It also adds a carriage return (CR) suffix and pro- grams the following prefixes for each symbology: Symbology Prefix UPC-A UPC-E EAN-8 EAN-13 Gilbarco Settings N3680 Decoded Engine User Guide...
Honeywell Bioptic Aux Port Configuration Scan the following Plug and Play code to program the scan engine for a Honeywell bioptic scanner auxiliary port configuration. This bar code sets the baud rate to 38400 bps and the data format to 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
