Communication Settings <Default All RS-232 Communication Settings> Parity Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. The Imager can be configured to operate under Mark , Space , Odd , Even , or No ( None ) parity options. The host terminal must be set up for the same parity as the Imager, to ensure reliable communication.
Baud Rate This sets the baud rate from 300 bits per second to 115,200 bits per second (see next page). Programming baud rate causes the data to be sent at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set to the same baud rate as the Imager to ensure reliable communication.
Baud Rate, continued 57600 Word Length Data Bits You can set the Word Length at 7 or 8 bits of data per character. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications requiring use of the full ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character.
Hardware Flow Control When hardware flow control is On , the software checks for a CTS signal before sending data. This option is useful when your application supports the CTS signal. * Off Software Flow Control This allows control of data transmission from the Imager using software commands from the host device.
When serial triggering is turned On , the Imager requires a serial trigger character to activate scanning and decoding. The unit continues to scan and decode until the Trigger Off character turns off the scanner, a time out occurs, or a bar code is decoded.
Note: ‡ Save are required after reading this programming symbol. See "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-36, and the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Trigger Timeout Use this selection to set a timeout (in quarter seconds) of the Imager’s trigger. Once the imager has timed out, it must be triggered again either serially (see "Serial Triggering"...
Note: ‡ required after reading this programming symbol. Refer to the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Power Saving Mode This provides control of the Imager’s power consumption, as follows: Low Power draws low (50%) LED current during image capture, allowing one read attempt only for each trigger pull.
Power Hold Mode Power Hold On keeps the Imager in a ready to read state. To conserve power, this selection may be turned Off and the unit will power down if not used within two minutes. When you are ready to use the Imager again, restore power by pressing the trigger.
* On Aimer Delay The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the scanner before the picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is pulled and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light will appear, but the LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over.
Every Read , Every Second Read , or Every Third Read . You may also program the scanner to use the aimer every “x” reads, by entering a number from 0 to 999 to indicate “x.”...
If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning the On bar code below, the default centering window is a 60 pixel square area in the center of the imager’s field of view.

Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol that follows.) When a different code is presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code. Note: The scanner automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol.
Scan Stand Symbol Note: Scan Stand mode does not work when scanner is programmed for the HHLC interface. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level (Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view.
Lights Off bar code below. When a bar code is presented to the scanner, the illuminating LEDs turn on to scan the bar code and then turn off when the bar code has been read. Default = Presentation Mode Lights On .
Fast Omni Mode Normally, the imager searches throughout its whole field of view to determine if a bar code is present. Fast omni-directional mode provides a reduced search pattern that increases the scan rate of the imager. When fast omni mode is enabled, the imager only tries to locate bar codes in the center area of the image.
Beep On Decode If you want the scanner to beep each time it reads a bar code, leave this setting On . If you don’t want it to beep on each read, but do want it to beep for other events, such as error conditions, set this selection to Off .
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).
Next, scan the Character to Trigger bar code, then the 2 digit hex value for the ASCII character that trigger the delay (refer to the "Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart" on page 2-36). Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan Discard on the back cover and scan the correct digits and Save again.
Intermessage Delay Note: This selection is valid for keyboard wedge interfaces only. This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between each scan transmission. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each). Scan the Intermessage Delay bar code below, then scan the number of steps, and the Save bar code from the inside back cover.
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.
Adding a Prefix or Suffix 1. Scan the Add Prefix (page 2-34) or Add Suffix symbol (page 2-34). 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the "Symbology Chart" on page 2-35 for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix. 3.
Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a Carriage Return/Line Feed Suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies. Add a Code I.D.
Prefix Entries Add Prefix † Suffix Entries Add Suffix † † One or more two digit numbers and Save are required after reading this programming symbol. Refer to the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Exit Selections Save 2 - 34 Clear All Prefixes Clear All Suffixes IMAGETEAM™...

Discard Current Output Sequence Changes Note: If you want the scanner to beep after each bar code is read, please see "Output Sequence Beeper" on page 2-27. † One or more two digit numbers and Save are required after reading this programming symbol.
Multiple Symbols Note: This feature does not work when the Imager is in Low Power mode. When this programming selection is turned On , it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the Imager’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the Imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read.
Print Weight Print Weight is used to adjust the way the scanner reads Matrix symbols. If a scanner will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light printing, a print weight of 2 may help.
Video Reverse Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read bar codes that are inverted. The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.

Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased.
All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. However, any OCR templates you have created will be retained in memory.
You can create a custom “template,” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your scanner. There are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable.
Page 117
To create this template, you would scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 4-9), then scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart after the Sample Codes in the back of this manual 8 times. Scan Save OCR Template (page 4-9). This would let you read any string of 8 digits, for example: 3.
Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements) You may want to program the scanner to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the scanner to read optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template.
A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read: Adding an OCR Check Character You may want to program the scanner to read OCR strings that have a check character. The IT4410/4710 reads and strips out the OCR check character created using a modulo 10 or modulo 36 table.

RS-232 Serial Commands Click on View - Serial Command Window to display the Command Center window which allows you to enter serial commands to the Imager. Click on View - Scan Data Window to open a window which displays serial data in a text format.
Responses The Imager responds to serial commands with one of three responses: ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed. ENQ Indicates a bad command. NAK Indicates the command was good, but the entry was out of the allowable range, e.g., an entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.
Query Commands Several special characters can be used to query the Imager about its settings. What is the default value for the setting(s). What is the Imager’s current value for the setting(s). What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The Imager’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values.
Deactivate SYN U CR The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial timeout has been reached. See "Trigger Timeout" on page 2-15 for a description and the serial command on page 7-15.

IMGSHP command. The image ship command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image that is output by the scanner. The default image file format used by IMGSHP is a gray scale KIM.
IMGSHP command (page 7-27) also are available for the IMGCAP command to change the look of the image that is output by the scanner. When using the IMGCAP command, the imager is optimized to capture images of close objects (e.g., signatures, address labels).
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.
Using this method, intelligent signature capture always outputs the correct image size and resolution no matter the distance at which the scanner is held from the bar code, assuming that the entire signature capture area is within the scanner’s field of view.
Visual Menu Introduction Visual Menu provides the ability to configure a scanning device by connecting the scanner to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu allows you to download upgrades to a scanner’s firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes.
Visual Menu. To convert the scanner back to keyboard wedge communication, cycle the power. Installing Visual Menu from the Web 1. Access the Hand Held Products web site at www.handheld.com. 2. Click on the Quick Search text box and enter Visual Menu. 3. Click on Search Now.
