LEDs. When the Interlaced bar code is scanned, the aimer and illumination LEDs are not allowed to be on at the same time. While this does limit peak current during scanning, the scanner performance may be slower. When the Concurrent bar code is scanned, the aimer and illumination LEDs are allowed to light at the same time.
Page 58 The default centering window is a 128x96 pixel area in the center of the imager’s field of view. The following diagram illustrates the default top, bottom, left, and right pixel positions, measured from the top and the left side of the imager’s field of view, which is 640 by 480 pixels.
Page 59: Decode Search Mode
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 symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional search is very thorough which may slow performance time.
Page 60: Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Overview Require Output Sequence When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the Imager decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the Imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.
Page 61 Output Sequence Examples In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the imager 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.

Page 67: Chapter 4 - Data Editing
Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code 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.
Page 68: To Add A Prefix Or Suffix
To Add a Prefix or Suffix: Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.
Page 69: To Clear One Or All Prefixes Or Suffixes
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes: You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. 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.
Page 70: Prefix Selections
Prefix Selections Add Prefix Clear All Prefixes Suffix Selections Add Suffix Clear All Suffixes Function Code Transmit When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the imager transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in page 10-3.
Page 71: Intercharacter, Interfunction, And Intermessage Delays
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.
Page 72: User Specified Intercharacter Delay
User Specified Intercharacter Delay An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data.

Alternate Data Formats Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are programmed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
Page 81: Chapter 6 - Secondary Interface
Secondary Interface By switching secondary interface cables, the IT4600/4800 imager can, for example, communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to the host terminal (primary interface). See the table below for the secondary interfaces for each IT4600/4800 model. This table applies to all IT4600/4800 focal distances and decoding options.
Page 82: Secondary Rs-232 Connection
Secondary RS-232 Connection All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces.
Page 83: Wand/Laser Emulation Multi Block
Wand/Laser Emulation Multi Block Note: Changing secondary wand emulation settings also changes the primary wand emulation settings (see Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks. Default = 50ms. 150ms Overall Checksum When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message.

Page 141: Chapter 8 - Imaging Commands
Imaging Commands The imager can be used as a digital camera for capturing, manipulating, and transferring images. Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent image capture. Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings.
Page 142: Image Ship - Imgshp
G - Gain: This modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. No gain (default) Medium gain Heavy gain Maximum gain D - Delta for Acceptance: This sets the allowable range for the white value setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo Style.
Page 143: Imgshp Modifiers
The image ship command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image output by the scanner. Modifiers affect the image that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers and end with a letter (case insensitive).
Page 144 H - Histogram Stretch: Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats. No stretch (default) Histogram stretch I - Invert Image: Used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis in fixed mount applications where the imager is mounted upside down.

Page 145 Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the image; thus only the center pixels are transmitted. Margin: cut n columns from the left, n + 1 columns from the right, n rows from the top, and n + 1 rows from the bottom of the image. Ship the remaining center pixels.
Page 146: Intelligent Signature Capture - Imgbox
Upon the receipt of the bar code data, the host application sends the IMGBOX command, which tells the scanner to output only the area of the image corresponding to the signature capture box. The scanner also automatically adjusts for aspect ratio and distortion, issues that arise due to scanner skew with respect to the bar code.
Page 147: Imgbox Modifiers
IMGBOX Modifiers D - Pixel Depth: Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image. 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image 1 bit per pixel, black and white image F - File Format: Indicates the type of file format in which to save the image. KIM format (default) TIFF binary TIFF binary group 4, compressed...
Page 148 R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area: 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. S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio: The ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width.
Page 149: Chapter 9 - Ocr Programming
OCR Programming Use this section to program the Imager for optical character recognition (OCR). The 2D IT4600/4800 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.

Page 160 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.
Page 161: Ocr Isbn Application Example
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 configure the imager to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan.

Maintenance Repairs Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center. See "Customer Support" on page 15-1 for further information. Maintenance The IT4600/4800 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Page 212: Replacing The Interface 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 IT4600/4800 imager’s handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.
Page 213: Troubleshooting
To Replace the IT4800 Interface Cable: 1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from the terminal or computer. 3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the cord lock from the base of the imager. 4.
Page 214 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 into your application.
