The imager beeps once. Your imager is factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and you do not need to modify the settings, skip to Chapter 3 - Output.
An imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer. 1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager first, then to the com- puter. 2. Program the imager for a USB interface using the Plug and Play barcodes...
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager. Note: For the imager to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer. 3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.
Page 23
7. Plug the power pack into a power source. 8. Once the imager has been fully connected, power up the computer. 9. To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, use the serial terminal ID 050 and follow the instructions on page 2-1.
Programming the Interface - Plug and Play Plug and Play barcodes provide instant imager set up for commonly used inter- faces. Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect. Note: See "Imager Models"...
USB Connection IBM SurePos Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the imager for IBM SurePos (USB handheld imager) or IBM SurePos (USB Tabletop imager). Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register.
USB PC or Macintosh Keyboard Scan one of the following codes to program the imager for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these codes adds a CR and selects the terminal ID (USB PC Keyboard - 124, USB Macintosh Keyboard - 125).
RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface barcode programs the imager for an RS-232 interface at 38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF. RS-232 Interface...
Using the following barcodes, set the port to which you want the scanned data to transmit. Port 1 corresponds to P1 on the output cable and Port 2 corre- sponds to P2 on the output cable. Choosing Both sends scanned data to P1 and P2.
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the barcode then sends data in the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo- gies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and Inter- leaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39.

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.
A manual or serial trigger resets the time-out. When an RS-232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the time-out. A transaction on the CTS line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up.
2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. 2D symbologies 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. Default = Code 39 Format.
500ms Overall Checksum When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message. The check character is the character which when Exclu- sive-OR’d with every preceding character of the message yields a result of 0x00 (00H).
The Transmission Rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters. Default = 25 inches/second. * 25 Wand Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with black bars high, or reversed with white bars high. Default = Black High. * Black High White High...
The idle describes the state of the imager when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the imager’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the imager is connected. Default = Idle High .
Good Read Indicators Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = On.
* On Number of Beeps – Good Read 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.
Long Delay (1,500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the barcode below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig- ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the imager scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released.
Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 120 seconds. If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into low power mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer is reset.
Scan Stand Mode When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol (see below). When a different code is presented, the imager is triggered to read the new code.
When an imager is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a barcode is decoded. If you wish to turn the LEDs off immediately after a barcode is decoded, scan the LEDs Off barcode, below.
To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity barcode, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive. Default = 1.
Image Snap and Ship Image Snap and Ship tells the imager to take a picture (rather than read a bar- code) when the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to the host system as a jpeg file by default. To revert to barcode reading, you must...
Extra Long (2000 ms) User-Specified Reread Delay If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the barcode below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Note: If you scan the Off barcode, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan barcodes in low light. To turn the LED Power Level back on, move to a brightly lit area and scan either the Low or the High barcode below.
(no delay) Off. User-Specified Aimer Delay If you want to set your own length for the duration of the delay, scan the barcode below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (0 - 4,000 ms) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save.
In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white area is the centering window. Barcode 1 will not be read, while Barcode 2 will...
Page 62
Right 100% If a barcode is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the imager. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the imager only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the Top, Bottom, Left, or Right barcodes.
For example, you may be using the imager in a retail setting to read UPC sym- bols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some...
Page 64
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the imager will read any barcode in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no barcode in the imager’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
This is the period of time the imager will search for a high priority barcode after a low priority barcode has been encountered. Scan the barcode below, then set the delay (from 100-3,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Page 66
Output Sequence Examples In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 barcodes, 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.

* Off No Read With No Read turned On, the Imager notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using a Quick*View Scan Data Window, an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear. Default = Off.
Video Reverse Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read barcodes that are inverted. The Off barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar- codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.

For example, to add 2 modifiers to the Image Snap com- mand, such as setting the Imaging Style to 1P and the Wait for Trigger to 1T, you would enter IMGSNP1P1T.
Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP Image Snap - IMGSNP An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image in memory.

LEDs on E - Exposure Exposure is used in Manual Style only (2P), and allows you to set the exposure time. This is similar to setting a shutter speed on a camera. The exposure time determines how long the imager takes to record an image. On a bright day, exposure times can be very short because plenty of light is available to help record an image.
Page 148
G - Gain Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified. No gain (default)
Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances.

W - Histogram Ship A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated in the midtones.
Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push: IMGBOX245w37h55y. Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity. The following image is captured: The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the size and appearance of the signature image output by the imager.
Page 160
H - Height of Signature Capture Area The height of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by .01. In the example, the height of the area to be captured is 3/8 inch, resulting in a value of H = .375/0.01 = 37.5.
Page 161
K - Gamma Correction Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K.
Page 162
.01. In the example, the width of the area to be captured is 2.4 inches, resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240. (A value of 245 was used in the example to accommodate a slightly wider image area.) Example: IMGBOX245w37h55y.

The vertical barcode offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the signature capture area. Negative numbers indicate that the signature capture is above the barcode, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the barcode. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 9-1 for pro- gramming codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Cur- rency, MICR E 13 B, or SEMI fonts.
OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default set- ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).
SEMI Font On All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite barcodes, but not OCR fonts. However, any OCR templates you have created will be retained in memory.
All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used. Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D), represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash. Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.

Reading performance may degrade if the imager’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isn’t operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water solution).
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 imager’s handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable.
Page 227
This depresses the retention tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure on the paper clip, then remove the paper clip. 7. 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.
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the imager 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 further information.
Page 229
1. Scan the sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the imager reads the sample barcodes, check that your barcode is readable. Verify that your barcode symbology is enabled (see Chapter 2. If the imager still can’t read the sample barcodes, scan "All Symbologies" on page 7-2.
