About the Battery
!
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The use of any battery pack not sold by Hand Held Products will void your warranty and may result in damage to your unit.
Power is supplied to the cordless scanner by a rechargeable battery that is integrated in the scanner handle. Each scanner is shipped with a battery.
(See
Product Specifications beginning on page 11-1 .)
Charging Information
The battery is designed to charge while the scanner is positioned in the cordless base unit. Refer to
"2020-5B LED Sequences and Their Meaning" on page 1-15
for an interpretation of the Charge Status indicators.
• Place the scanner in the base that is connected to an appropriate power supply.
1 - 3
Battery Recommendations
• Batteries are shipped approximately 30% to 60% charged and should be fully charged for maximum charge capacity.
• The battery is a lithium ion cell and can be used without a full charge, as well as can be charged without fully discharging, without impacting the battery life.
There is no need to perform any charge/discharge conditioning on this cell type battery.
• Do not disassemble the battery. There are no user-serviceable parts in the battery.
• Keep the base connected to power when the host is not in use.
• Replace a defective battery immediately since it could damage the 3820.
• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire. It can explode and cause severe personal injury.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure if the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Hand
Held Products or an authorized Hand Held Products service center for inspection.
Proper Disposal of the Battery
When the battery has reached the end of its useful life, the battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery or dispose of the battery with general waste materials. You may send batteries to Hand Held Products (postage paid). The shipper is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations related to the packing, labeling, manifesting, and shipping of spent batteries. Contact the
Product Service Department (see 13-1) for recycling or disposal information.
Since you may find that your cost of returning the batteries significant, it may be more cost effective to locate a local recycle/disposal company.

Base Charge Mode
In order for the battery to be charged, there must be enough voltage for the circuitry to work. There are three conditions during which power can be supplied to the base:
Condition 1:
Condition 2:
Condition 3:
9VDC power supply connected to the barrel connector
12VDC host power source only
5VDC host power source only

Linking Scanner to Base
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. Once the scanner is placed into the base, the software automatically links the scanner and the base. If the scanner and base have previously been linked, you do not receive any feedback. If this is the first time that the scanner and base are linked, both devices emit a short chirp when their radios link. At this point, you are set to one scanner to one base.

2020-5B Cordless Base
1. Provide power to the base.
2. Place the 3820 into the base. The scanner and base link.
3. To determine if your cordless system is set up correctly, scan one of the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner provides a single good read beep and the green LED lights, the scanner has successfully linked to the base. If you receive a triple error beep and the red
LED lights, the scanner has not linked to the base.
Scanner Modes
The 3820 is capable of working in single scanner mode, multiple scanner mode, or with Blutetooth devices, other than the 2020-5B base.
Unlinking the Scanner
If the base has a scanner linked to it, that scanner must be unlinked before a new scanner can be linked. Once the previous scanner is unlinked, it will no longer communicate with the base. To unlink a scanner from the base, scan the Unlink
Scanner bar code below.
Unlink Scanner
1 - 6
Single Scanner Operation
There are two link modes to accommodate different applications: Locked Link
Mode and Open Link Mode. Scan the appropriate bar codes included in the
Open Link and Locked Link Mode explanations that follow to switch from one mode to another. Default = Locked Link Mode.
Locked Link Mode - Single Scanner
If you link a scanner to a base using the Locked Link Mode, other scanners are blocked from being linked if they are inadvertently placed into the base. If you do place a different scanner into the base, it will charge the scanner, but the scanner will not be linked.
* Locked Link Mode
(Single Scanner)
To use a different scanner, you need to unlink the original scanner by scanning the Unlink Scanner bar code. (See
Open Link Mode - Single Scanner
When newly shipped or defaulted to factory settings, the base and scanner are not linked. By placing a scanner into the base, they establish a link. Placing a different scanner into the base establishes a new link and the old scanner is unlinked. Each time a scanner is placed into the base, it becomes the linked scanner; the old scanner is unlinked.
Open Link Mode
(Single Scanner)
Override Locked Scanner
If you need to replace a broken or lost scanner that is linked to a base, scan the
Override Locked Scanner bar code below with a new scanner and place that scanner in the base. The locked link will be overridden; the broken or lost scanner’s link with the base will be removed, and the new scanner will be linked.
Override Locked Scanner
(Single Scanner)
1 - 7
Multiple Scanner Operation
To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you scan this bar code, the scanner is unlinked from the base and must be placed into the base to re-link.
Multiple Scanner Operation
Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one base. You cannot join an eighth scanner until you unlink one of the
7 scanners or take a scanner out of range.
Scanner Name
You are able to assign a name to each scanner you are using. It will be helpful to name the scanners if you have multiple scanners linked to one base so that you will be able to control the scanner receiving imaging commands sent from the base. The default name for an 3820 is “3820”. If you have more than one
3820 linked to a base, the first scanner that is linked to the base receives commands addressed using this name.
Changing Scanner Name - Serially
If you wish to change the name, you may change it via a serial command (refer
to "Menu Command Syntax" on page 10-1) or via a bar code command. To
change the name serially, unlink all except one of the 3820s from the base. Send
“:3820:BT_NAM name.”, where name is the new scanner name. If you wish to change the name of additional 3820s, re-link them one at a time and repeat the
“:3820:BT_NAM name.” command for each scanner.

Changing Scanner Name - via Bar Codes
If you wanted to set up your scanners with names 0001-0007, you may scan the bar codes below.
Scan the Reset bar code after each name change and wait for the scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next bar code to name the next scanner.
0001
0003
0004
0005
0006
0007
Reset
Alternatively, you may change the name with a bar code command if you cannot send serial commands to the base. One way to do this is to scan the bar code below and scan a number for the scanner name. For example, if you had 7 scanners to one base, scan the bar code below with the first scanner, scan the
1 bar code on the
Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual and
scan Save. Then scan the Reset bar code and wait for the scanner to re-link to the base before scanning the next bar code. Repeat that process for scanner number 2, 3, 4 etc.
Scanner Name
If you want to assign an alphabetic name to the scanner, create a Code 128 bar code containing “~BT_NAM name.” followed by a FNC3 character (hexidecimal
83), where
name is the new scanner name. Scan the Reset bar code (page 1-9
or on the
inside the back cover of this manual). You may use Barcode Builder, which is included with Quick*View. You may download
Quick*View from the Hand Held Products website: www.handheld.com

Application Work Groups
Your cordless system can have up to seven scanners linked to one base. You can also have up to seven work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. If you want each scanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/ suffix, data formatter), then you may program each scanner to its own unique work group and may program each scanner independently. Visual XPress
(
page 9-1 ) makes it easy for you to program your system for use with multiple
scanners and multiple work groups.
The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner is connected or reconnected to a base, the scanner is updated with the latest settings from the base for its work group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the base. If a scanner is removed from one base and placed into another base, it will be updated with the new base settings for whatever work group that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work group 1 linked to the first base, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second base with the associated settings.

Basic Operation of the Cordless System
Cordless Base
The cordless base provides the link between the cordless scanner and the host system. The base contains an interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the cordless scanner and the interface assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activities
(parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.
The base also is the scanner battery charger with the external 9VDC power source applied. Once you place the scanner into base, the base green LED responds according to the Charge Status Indicator table above.
The base can be powered by the Host (parasitic power mode). If the base is in parasitic power mode without the 9VDC power source, the base will still function, but will not charge the battery.
RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
The cordless system uses a state-of-the-art two-way Bluetooth radio to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the base. Designed for point-to-point and multipoint-to-single point applications, the radio operates using a license free ISM band, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the cordless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. Bluetooth Class 2 power level provides range of 33 feet
(10m) depending on the environment.
1 - 16
Cordless Scanner
The cordless scanner enables fast and accurate bar code scanning using a noncontact linear scanner.
The scanner is comprised of a linear scanner, a decode/control assembly, and an RF communication module. The scan engine performs the bar code image illumination and sensing. The decode/control assembly coordinates the central communication activities including: capturing and decoding the bar code image data, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data translation required for the host system.
The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the scanner and the base.
System Conditions
The components of the cordless system interact in specific ways as you associate a scanner to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two cordless systems. The following information explains the cordless system operating conditions.
Linking Process
Once a scanner is placed into the base, the scanner’s battery charge status is checked, and software automatically detects the scanner and links it to the base depending on the selected link mode.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The cordless scanner is in communication with its base, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the base for a few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan a bar code, the scanner issues a triple beep indicating no communication with the base. In addition, your scanner and base can sound an alarm if programmed to emit an alarm. See
Out-of-Range Alarm on page 1-13.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner re-links if the scanner or the base have been reset or out of range.
If the scanner re-links, you will hear a single chirp when the re-linking process
(uploading of the parameter table) is complete.
Out of Range and Back into Range with Data Accumulation Mode
On
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 UPC symbols, others may vary) when out of range and then send them to the base when back in range. You will not hear a communication error beep in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you pull the trigger if the radio communication is not working. Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while the data is being transferred to the base.
1 - 17
Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host
The cordless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. This is possible since the cordless system provides two-way communication between the scanner and the base.
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit.
Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was received by the host. The cordless scanner recognizes data acknowledgement
(ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base, the scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.
3) Base sends data to host
1) Good Read
2) ACK from base
Connecting the Base When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
A base 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. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
1 - 18
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/ computer.
Disconnect
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base and to the terminal/ computer and keyboard.

5. Program the base for the
keyboard wedge interface. See "Keyboard Wedge Connection" on page 1-
6. Verify the base operation by scanning a bar code from the
in the back of this manual.
Note: Without using the 9-volt external, power supply, the base only uses enough power from the host to operate the interface. The scanner’s battery is not charged when in this mode. Using the 9-volt, external power supply allows the scanner’s battery to be charged, and no power is drawn from the host.
1 - 19
Reading Techniques
The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming line should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it will not read if the aiming line is in any other direction.
Good Read Bad Read
Bad Read
The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming line on the symbol.
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings bar code below.
The Menu Commands starting on page 10-6 lists the factory default settings for

Caps Lock status.
Automatic Caps Lock
Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g.,
Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps
Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Auotcaps, but uses the
NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the
RS-232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS-232 interface at
115,200 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of a CR LF.

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 application requires only ASCII Hex characters 0 through 7F decimal (text, digits, and punctuation), select 7 data bits. For applications which require use of the full
ASCII set, select 8 data bits per character. Default = 8.
Stop Bits sets the stop bits at 1 or 2. Default = 1.
Parity provides a means of checking character bit patterns for validity.
Default = None.

RS-232 Handshaking
RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device. CTS/RTS operates in mode 2. When this feature is turned
Off, no data flow control is used. When Data Flow Control is turned On, the host device suspends transmission by sending the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent.
Default = RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF and ACK/NAK Off.
RTS/CTS On
* RTS/CTS Off
XON/XOFF On
* XON/OFF Off
ACK/NAK On
* ACK/NAK Off
Host ACK Selection
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) approve or reject incoming bar code data and notify the operator of these actions. These applications require that the host maintain control over the response indicators emitted from the source scanner. Turning the Host ACK selection on, configures the cordless system scanners to respond to commands from the host system.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
• The cordless system must be configured for “Host Port RS-232” (Terminal ID
= 000)
• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
• Host ACK must be enabled (
).
• System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than
9600.
• The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the bar code data, make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escape commands to the source scanner.
Escape commands are addressed to the source scanner via “Application Work
Groups.” Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command. Because of this situation, it is recommended that each scanner is
assigned to its own group in host ACK mode.
2 - 11
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 2-13. The
<ESC> is a 1B in hex. A typical command string is y <ESC> x, where “y” is the application work group number, “<ESC> x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator.
Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An example of a command string is listed below.
0<ESC>4<ESC>5<ESC>6,
The above example will make a scanner in application work group zero beep low, medium, high.
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows:
• The scanner reads a code and sends data to the base/host system. No audible or visual indication is emitted until you receive an escape command.
The scanner read illumination goes out upon a successful read.
• Scanner is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host system (via the base) or 2) the scanner “times out.”
• Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again, and the process repeats.
Time out is indicated by three rapid beeps at the same pitch. A time out occurs if the source scanner does not receive a valid escape command in 10 seconds.
If a time out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received.

Wand Emulation
Wand Emulation Connection
The Wand Emulation Connection bar codes should be used if you want to change the terminal ID only, without changing any other scanner settings. We recommend using Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes to program your scanner to emulate a wand reader. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play bar codes change other parameters, in addition to changing the terminal ID. Please refer
to Wand Emulation Plug & Play on page 1-22 for further information.
In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39.
The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 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 bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same
Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.

Scanner Trigger Modes
Manual/Serial Trigger, Low Power
You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial
trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 10-4). When in manual
trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released.
When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out (Serial
Trigger Mode) , which follows).
* Manual/Serial Trigger
Read Time-Out (Serial Trigger Mode)
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command. After scanning the Read Time-Out bar code, set the time-out
duration (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits on the Programming
inside the back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 300,000 ms.
Read Time-Out
Scanner Power Time-Out Timer
Note: The Scanner Power Time-out Timer option only applies to Manual/Serial
Trigger.
When there is no activity within a specified time period, the scanner enters low power mode. Scan the appropriate Scanner Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in seconds).
3 - 4
Note: Scanning zero (0) is the equivalent of setting no time-out.
If there are no trigger pulls during the “scanner power time-out timer” interval, the scanner goes into power down mode. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the
“scanner power time-out timer” is reset. If the scanner is placed in the 2020-5B cradle and the battery is in the process of being charged, the scanner will not go into power down mode.

Note: When the scanner is in power down mode, pull the trigger to power the unit back up. There will be a set of power up beeps and a delay of up to a few seconds for the radio to join. The scanner will then be ready to use.
Automatic Trigger
The scanner scans continuously at full power with illumination fully on.
Automatic Trigger
Presentation Mode
The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the scanner. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses ambient light to detect the bar codes. If the light level in the room is not high enough,
Presentation Mode will not work properly.

Hands Free Time-Out
The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the scanner’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the scanner changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the scanner should remain in manual trigger mode by setting the Hands Free Time-Out.
Once the time-out value is reached, (if there have been no further trigger pulls) the scanner reverts to the original hands free mode.
Scan the
Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration (from
0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 5,000 ms.
Hands Free Time-Out
Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at
POS (point of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required.
Default = Medium.
Reread Delay only works when in automatic trigger mode (see
).

Centering Window
Use the centering feature to narrow the scanner’s field of view so the scanner reads only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the scanner only reads codes that intersect or are contained within the centering window you set up. At least part of a bar code must be within the window to be decoded or output by the scanner.
To change the left or right edge of the centering window, scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes. Then scan the percent you want to shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual. Scan
Save. Default Centering = 40% for Left, 60% for Right.

Output Sequence Overview
Require Output Sequence
When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner 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 Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data
(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default Sequence symbol programs the scanner to the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Note: You must hold the trigger while reading each bar code in a sequence.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code
I.D., code length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see
Require Output Sequence , page 3-
2. Code I.D.
On the
Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-

ogy and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Programming
Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).
4. Character Match Sequences
On the
ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-2, find the Hex
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Output Sequence Example
In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner 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.
A - Code 39
B - Code 128
C - Code 93
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single pull of the scanner’s trigger. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming the scanner at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if turned on) for each read. The scanner attempts to find and decode new symbols as long as the trigger is pulled. When this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.
Multiple Symbols On
* Multiple Symbols Off
No Read
With No Read turned On, the scanner sends an “NR” to the host if you pull and release the trigger without reading a code (e.g., bad bar code). If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not be sent to the host.
No Read On
* No Read Off
If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,”
you can edit the output message using the Data Formatter (page 5-5). The hex
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.
Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted.
The “Off” bar code below is an example of this type of bar code.
Note: If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.

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.
Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:
Prefix S c a nned D a t a
1-11 alpha numeric & control characters variable length
Su ffix
1-11 alpha numeric & control characters
Points to Keep In Mind
• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only used if you wish to alter the default settings.
Default prefix = None.
Default suffix = None.
• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.
• You can add any prefix or suffix from the
ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, plus Code I.D. and AIM I.D.
• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
• When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), the specific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.
4 - 1
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol ( page 4-3 ).
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Appendix A ) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix
or suffix. For example, for Code 128, Code ID is “j” and Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
Step 5. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.
Step 7. To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 8. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology
To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
) for UPC.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) on page A-2, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.
Step 6. Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
4 - 2
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.
Step 1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
the Appendix A ) for the symbology from which you want to clear the pre-
fix or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the
inside the back cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.
To 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.

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.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output.
Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a bar code, it gets outputted automatically; however
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in the order in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order in which formats are applied:
1. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on
To Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol ( page 5-4 ).
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has
been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 5-
5 .) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the
inside the back cover of this manual. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (
page 2-2 ) and locate the Ter-
minal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.
5 - 1
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In the Appendix A , find the symbology to which you want to apply the
data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the
Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual.
Step 5. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the
inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to the Format Editor Commands Chart (
). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.
Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual to save your entries.
Other Programming Selections
• Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual. 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 2-2 ), Code I.D. (refer to the
Chart on page A-1), and the bar code data length for the specific data format
that you want to delete. All other formats remain unaffected.
• Save from the
inside the back cover of this manual
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.
• Discard from the
inside the back cover of this manual
This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

Message Length
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies.
If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading length, the scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner to read fixed length bar code data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09 Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Code 39 Append
This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately transmit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character other than a space. Default = Off.

Visual Xpress
Visual Xpress Introduction
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on an imager connected to your PC's COM port. Visual
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imager's firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an imager. This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single bar code that contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that bar code to any location. Users in other locations can scan the bar code to load in the customized programming.
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a physical USB port. If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an external power supply is required. When using a USB serial port emulation, only a USB cable is required.
Visual Xpress Operations
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a window. Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive imager response that can be seen in the Scan Data window. The data displayed in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed.
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the imager. The imager's programming and configuration data is grouped into different categories. Each category is displayed as a tree item under the "Configure" tree node in the application explorer. When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the parameters' form belonging to that particular category. The "Configure" tree option has all the programming and configuration parameters specified for an imager. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them to a dcf file.
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Imager can perform.
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be displayed in an image window. Images captured from the imager can be saved to files in different image formats. You can modify the image settings and save the image settings to an INI file, which can be loaded later to capture new images. Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the imager.

Serial Programming Commands
The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming bar codes. Both the serial commands and the programming bar codes will program the 2020-5B. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see
). The following commands can be sent via a PC com port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions: parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command.
[ option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
bold
Names of menus, menu commands, buttons, dialog boxes, and windows that appear on the screen.
Menu Command Syntax
Menu commands have the following syntax (spaces have been used for clarity only):
Prefix [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […]
Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name: To send information to the scanner (with the base connected to host): :3820: The default factory setting for an 3820 scanner is
3820. This setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which accepts alphanumeric values. If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and not to the scanner.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group. For example, all RS-232 configuration settings are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
10 - 1
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatile menu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semi-permanent changes you want saved through a power cycle.
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
^
What is the default value for the setting(s).
?
What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).
*
What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
:Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the scanner.
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be used because they are ignored by the device.
SubTag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a SubTag field, the query applies only to the subset of commands available that match the Tag field. In this case, the Data field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
When a query is used in place of the Data field, the query applies only to the specific command identified by the Tag and SubTag fields.
10 - 2
Concatenation of Multiple Commands
Multiple commands can be issued within one Prefix/Storage sequence. Only the
Tag, SubTag, and Data fields must be repeated for each command in the sequence. If additional commands are to be applied to the same Tag, then the new command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and
Data fields of the additional command are issued. If the additional command requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous commands by a semicolon (;).
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
ACK Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2 characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.
Examples of Query Commands
In the following examples, a bracketed notation [ ] depicts a non-displayable response.
Example #1:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?

Maintenance
Maintenance
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 13-1 for further information.
Cleaning the Scanner’s Window
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild soapy water solution).
If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened with water only.
The base and scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
!
Caution:
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanner’s housing is not watertight.
Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner’s window – abrasive wipes may scratch the window. Never use solvents (e.g., alcohol or acetone) on the housing or window – solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the base’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 Hand Held Products distributor for information about
cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 12-2 .
12 - 1
Replacing the 2020-5B Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the base’s cable from the terminal or computer.
3. Turn the base upside down.
4. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure on the connector release clip.
5. 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.
Changing the 3820
Battery:
1. Remove the screw on the end cap.
2. Remove the battery from the handle.
3. Insert battery.
4. Replace end cap and screw.
Troubleshooting Base
End Cap
Note: Please visit the Services and Support section of our website ( www.handheld.com
) to check for the latest software for both the scanner and the base.
If your base is not functioning properly, review the following troubleshooting guidelines to try to isolate the problem.
Is the red LED on?
If the red LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The power cable is connected properly and there is power at the power source.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
Is the green LED on?
12 - 2
If the green LED isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The scanner is correctly placed in the base.
• There is external power or 12 volt host power.
•
Charge mode is turned on. ( See "Base Charge Mode" on page 1-5
)
• The battery is not bad or deeply discharged. In some cases, the scanner’s battery may trickle charge to bring it into an acceptable level and then transition to a normal charge cycle.
Troubleshooting Scanner
Note: Make sure that your scanner’s battery is charged.
Note: Please visit the Services and Support section of our website
( www.handheld.com
) to check for the latest software for both the scanner and the base.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
• Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the base to which the scanner connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered into the application?
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 scanner to output the bar code 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.
Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly?
If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host screen:
• The base may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “@es%.”
Reprogram the base with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection bar
.
• The base may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan “12345” and the host displays “A12345B.”
Reprogram the base with the proper symbology selections. See
The scanner won’t read your bar code at all.
12 - 3
1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 6 ).
2. If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies on page 6-1.
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the base, or if you
want the factory default settings restored, scan Resetting the Standard Product
Default Settings: Current Application Work Group on page 10-5.
Troubleshooting the Cordless System
The scanner must be linked to the base for the system to work properly.
"Linking Scanner to Base" on page 1-6 .

Code Page Mapping of Printed Bar Codes
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the bar code being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one the host program is expecting.
