Laser and LED Safety The Laser Aiming subsystem projects 670 nm laser light onto the bar code target to define the optical field of view. The projected pattern consists of a central cross and four 90 degree corner sections. This pattern is generated by a lens and diffractive component positioned at the output of the enclosed laser diode.
Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge) A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. Note: Only units ordered from the factory with keyboard wedge capability can be connected as keyboard wedge units.
Reading Techniques The hand-held Imager has a view finder (shown below) which is similar to those on cameras. The view finder allows you to position the code within the field of view. The illustration below shows where to aim the red illuminated beam over the symbol for a good read.

Programming Introduction Use this section to program the hand-held Imager. This programming section contains the following menuing selections: • General Selections • Terminal Interface Selections • Keyboard Selections • Communication Settings • Imager Selections • Output Selections • Prefix/Suffix Selections •...
Reset Factory Settings All operating parameters are stored in nonvolatile memory resident in the Imager, where they are permanently retained in the event of a power interruption. When you receive your Imager, certain operating parameters have already been set. These are the factory defaults, indicated by the symbol “ ” on the programming menu pages (beneath the default programming symbol).
All Symbologies If you want to decode all the symbologies allowable for your scanner, scan the All Symbologies On code. All Symbologies All Symbologies Revision Selections Both the following programming codes would not normally be needed unless you have a problem with the unit. An Application Support Representative may request the boot code or power PC revision information in order to trouble shoot a problem.
Terminal Interface IMAGETEAM 4400 and 4700 scanners are 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 page 2-16 for Imager Selections.
Keyboard Country Scan the Program Keyboard Country bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) from the inside back cover, then the Save bar code to program the keyboard for your country. As a general rule, the following characters are not supported by the scanner for countries other than the United States: @ | $ # { } [ ] = / ‘...
Keyboard Style This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. Default = Regular. 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 Modifiers This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode. Control + ASCII Mode On - The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F. Refer to "Keyboard Function Relationships" on page 2-9 for CTRL+ ASCII Values. Default = Off Control + ASCII * Control + ASCII Mode On...
Keyboard Function Relationships The following Keyboard Function Code, Hex/ASCII Value, and Full ASCII “CTRL”+ relationships apply to all terminals that can be used with the scanner. Function Code HEX/ASCII Value Full ASCII “CTRL” + 2 - 9...
Connecting the Scanner to a Serial Port 6. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 7. Connect the interface cable to the scanner. 8. Connect the interface cable to the 5 or 14 VDC power supply and plug in the power supply. The scanner will beep twice. 9.
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 115200 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.
Serial Triggering This provides a means of sending a serial trigger command to start and stop decoding. When this feature is turned off, the Imager will not respond to serial trigger commands. When serial triggering is turned on, the Imager requires a serial trigger character to activate scanning and decoding.
Power Saving Mode This provides control of the Imager’s power consumption, as follows: Low Power draws low LED current during image capture, allowing one read attempt only for each trigger pull. The Imager is less tolerant of hand movement during the read attempt, and powers down after the image capture is complete. Medium Power draws a normal LED current during image capture which enhances motion tolerance.
LED Power Level This selection allows you to adjust LED brightness. Off is used when no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the default) is the brightest setting. * High LED Flashing If LED Flashing is turned off, the average current draw is increased and the aiming light won’t illuminate while the scanner reads a bar code.
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.
Aimer Interval Aimer Interval turns off the aiming light, or programs the aimer to come on at certain intervals when reading symbols with the scanner. You may program the scanner to use the aimer Every Read, Every Second Read, or Every Third Read. You may also program the scanner to use the aimer every “x”...
AutoTrigger Two AutoTrigger Modes are available: Scan Stand and Presentation Mode. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LED shines at the symbol on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When a different code is presented, the Imager is triggered to read the new code.
Scan Stand Lights You can turn off the scanner light when the imager is in idle mode in a scan stand. * On Presentation Mode This programs the scanner to work in Presentation Mode. Default = Off. * Off Presentation Reread Delay This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a second time.
Presentation Aimer You can turn on or off the scanner’s aiming light when the device is not reading a bar code. * On Zoom Use Zoom to zoom in and read smaller matrix codes. The zoom selection does not affect reading of linear bar codes. The factory default setting is Off. (High Density scanners are programmed with the zoom turned on when shipped from the factory.
Zoom Placement This lets you position the read area (crosshairs) of the Imager when it is in zoom mode. The Zoom Vertical moves the crosshairs vertically, and the Zoom Horizontal move them horizontally, as illustrated below: Note: When zoom is turned on, the field of view of the Imager is reduced, making it more difficult for the Imager to read large matrix symbols.
Beeper Volume * High Medium Power Up Beeper * On Output Sequence Beeper If you are using an Output Sequence (see "Output Sequence Overview" on page 2-41), you may want to hear a beep after each bar code as it is read. Scan Output Sequence Beeper On to enable this feature, or Off to disable it.
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, set this selection to Off. * On Beeper Default Defaults all beeper settings.
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, which increases data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each).
Interfunction Delay This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each). Scan the Interfunction Delay bar code below, then scan the number of steps, and the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.
Intermessage Delay 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 2-32) or Add Suffix symbol (page 2-32). 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the "Symbology Chart "on page 2-33 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 Suffix to all symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs a carriage return suffix for all symbologies. Add CR Suffix All Symbologies Add a Code I.D.
Prefix Entries Clear One Prefix † Add Prefix † Clear All Prefixes Suffix Entries Add Suffix † Clear One Suffix † Clear All Suffixes † One or more two digit numbers and Save are required after reading this programming symbol.

Data Format Editor Overview The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner.
Other Programming Selections • Clear One Data Format This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the "Supported Terminals Chart"on page 2-5), Code I.D.

Data Formatter When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). * On Require Data Format When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited format or the scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.
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 2-35), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
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.

Output Sequence Example In this example, you are scanning Codabar, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Codabar 3rd, as shown below. A - Code 39 B - Code 128 C-123456789B Note: To use this example, you must turn on Codabar start/stop characters (see...
Require Output Sequence When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.
Output Sequence Editor Enter Sequence † Default Sequence Exit Selections Save Current Output Sequence Changes 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 2-24. †...
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.
