Section 2 Serial Interface Menu Introduction Use this chapter to program the output parameters for the Hand Held Scanner. This programming section contains the following menuing selections: Prefix and Suffix Output Serial Communication (RS 232) Data Formatter SCANTEAM 3400PDF User’s Guide 2–1...
Quick Suffix Selections If your application requires it, scan the Program Carriage Return Suffix bar code to program a carriage return (CR) suffix for all enabled bar code symbologies. Scanning this bar code clears all previously programmed prefixes and suffixes. Scan the Clear Bar Code Suffix bar code to disable (or clear) all previously programmed prefixes and suffixes (e.g., the carriage return suffix).

Prefix and Suffix Examples Example 1: Add Suffix for Specific Symbology You want to send a CR (carriage return) Suffix for UPC only. Scan the Add Suffix Suffix Selection bar code. The Symbology Chart indicates that the Hex value of UPC is 63". Scan 6 and 3 on the Programming Chart on page 2-7.
Default All Output Settings Beeper Volume Selection Medium High Ticking/Scanning Progress Selection When enabled, the scanner will emit a ticking sound as it scans a PDF417 symbol. The rate of ticking is proportional to the rate of data collection. When disabled, you will not hear a ticking sound while scanning a PDF417 symbol.
Output Delays Selection This selection provides control of the time delays between data output by the scanner to the host terminal. The actual delay is 5 milliseconds multiplied by the programmed value (00 - 99). Default = 00. Intercharacter Delay is the time delay between data characters output by the scanner to the host terminal.
AutoTrigger Selection When enabled, this programming selection allows auto triggering with the optional Scan Stand. The Scan Stand provides hands free operation in any application where a great number of bar code entries is required. AutoTrigger Manual Trigger Reread Delay Selection This selection allows you to set a time period that must pass before the scanner can read the same bar code again.
Scan Voting Selection When Scan Voting is enabled, the scanner requires three (3) identical, consecutive scans before the bar code data will be accepted and transmitted to the terminal. When this selection is disabled, the bar code data will be transmitted following one (1) valid scan.
Default All Serial Communication Settings CTS Check Selection This selection allows you to select the software programming feature that checks for a CTS signal, if your application does not have a CTS I/O line. Default = Disable. Enable Disable Baud Rate Selection This selection sets the baud rate from 600 bits per second to 38,400 bits per second.
RS-232 Word Length Selection This selection allows you to set the RS 232 word length at seven or eight bits of data per character. The number of start and stop bits is fixed at one each. If an application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits.
Parity Selection This selection provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity. The scanner can be configured to operate under Even, Odd, Mark / None, or Space parity options. The host terminal must be set up for the same parity as the scanner, to ensure reliable communication.
Data Format Editor Note: The Data Formatter option may be used with linear codes only. This selection provides editing of all input (scanned) data. All Industrial and Retail symbologies can be formatted. You may scan the Clear Data Format bar code if you are certain you want to delete or clear all formats.

Data Formatter Example You are using an IBM PC AT and are scanning a UPC A bar code with a five digit addenda (shown below). The bar code has a total of 18 characters, including the number system, the check digits, and a space between the main bar code data and the addenda bar code data.
Introduction Use this chapter to program the Hand Held Scanner for General Operating features. This programming section contains the following menuing selections: Wand Emulation Country Code Keyboard Code Page Selections SCANTEAM 3400PDF User’s Guide 3–1...
The basic operation of this interface is to transmit the decoded bar code data to a decoding device by emulating the digital output of a wand. The transmitted Digital Output Signal emulates Code 128 symbology. All of the wand scans, except the last, will contain the Code 128 Message Append character, FNC2.
Effective Output Scan Rate Selection This sets the transmission rate of the Digital Output Signal. The available parameters assume a bar code density of .010 inches (10 mil). 15 inches per sec. 30 inches per sec. 60 inches per sec. 120 inches per sec.
Transmission Rate Selection This programming selection sets the transmission rate from 10 ips (inches per second) to 300 ips if the scanner is in Wand Emulation mode. Programming the transmission rate causes the data to be sent at the specified rate. The programmed transmission rate must be compatible with the device receiving the bar code data.
Country Keyboard Selection This programming selection allows you to re map the keyboard layout for the selected country. As a general rule, the following characters are not supported by the scanner for countries other than the United States: @ | $ # { } [ ] = / ` \ < > ~ Belgium United States Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden...
Keyboard Style Selections Keyboard Style Selections This programming selection allows you to program special keyboard features, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off. Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on. Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on.
Keyboard Style Modifiers Keyboard Style Modifiers This programming selection allows you to program special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ codes and Turbo Mode. Default All - This sets all Keyboard Style Modifiers to their default states (Control + ASCII Mode Off, Turbo Mode Off, Numeric Keypad Mode Off). Control + ASCII Mode On - If you scan this selection, the scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F.
Windows/DOS Selections If your country code is a code other than the default (United States), make certain you have selected the proper country code on page 3-5. If characters are not displaying properly, your bar code label may have been created in Windows.
Section 4 Symbology Menu Introduction Use this chapter to program the Hand Held Scanner for Industrial, Retail, and Stacked Symbology selections.

Inspect the scanner's interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your Welch Allyn distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions on page 8-2.
Page 82
When properly seated, the connector is held in the scanner handle by a flexible retention tab. The cable's designed to be field replaceable. Notes: Order replacement cables from Welch Allyn or from an authorized distributor. When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original interface cable.
Troubleshooting The Hand Held Decoded Output scanner automatically performs self tests whenever you turn it on. If your scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to try to isolate the problem. Troubleshooting Guide Is the power on? Is the red illuminated beam on? If the red scan beam on the scanner isn't illuminated, check that: the cable is connected properly the host system power is on (if external power isn't used).
