Once the scanner battery is charged and you have paired it, you may begin scanning bar codes. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a bar code from the
in the back of this manual.
Pairing the Scanner with an Apple Device Using SPP
Serial port protocol, or SPP, is used to establish two-way Bluetooth communication with the scanner. If you want to use an
Apple app or you are a developer creating an Apple app to communicate with the VG1602, use SPP to control the scanner through that application. This feature is only available with Apple's MFI-certified devices. Consult Apple to determine if your device is MFI-certified. Scan the bar code below to pair the Voyager 1602g with an Apple device using SPP.
Pair with Apple Device
Using SPP
Once the Apple device is connected to the Voyager 1602g using SPP, you must select the app that will be used to send commands to and receive responses from the scanner. To disconnect the association between the scanner and the app,
use Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect on page 3-1.

Reading Techniques
The Voyager 1602g has a large scan button just forward of a smaller, programmable button.
(See
Programmable Button on page 4-1 for further information about the programmable button.)
Scan button
Press the scan button to project an aiming beam. This beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear bar codes with aiming beam
2D Matrix symbol with aiming beam
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the scanner. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the scanner. To read single or multiple symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate distance from the target, press the scan button, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Contact the nearest technical sup-
port office (see Technical Assistance on page -ix) for further information.
1 - 5
Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
Note: The Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups Scanning the Save Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See
Wireless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.
Activate Custom Defaults
Note: The Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups Scanning the Save Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See
Wireless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used
settings, they will override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.
2 - 8
Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.
* Regular
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 (not common to U.S. keyboards).
Caps Lock
Shift Lock
Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps
Lock on or off . This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).
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 Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.
Autocaps via NumLock
Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).
Emulate External Keyboard
Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle the host system.
Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code:
“abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
output may not be as expected.

Control Character Output
This selection sends a text string instead of a control character. For example, when the control character for a carriage return is expected, the output would display [CR] instead of the ASCII code of 0D. Refer to
ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
Note: Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode overrides this mode.
Control Character Output On
* Control Character Output Off
Keyboard Modifiers
This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode.
Control + X (Control + ASCII) Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F.
Windows is the preferred mode. All keyboard country codes are supported. DOS mode is a legacy mode, and it does not support all keyboard country codes. New users should use the Windows mode. Refer to
ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252) , page A-3 for CTRL+ X Values.
Windows Mode Prefix/Suffix Off: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F, but it does not translate prefix or suffix information.
Default = Control + X Mode Off.

RS232 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 that 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.

RS232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A scan button push or serial trigger command resets the time-out. When an RS232 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. Change the RS232 receiver time-out by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0
seconds (no time-out - always on).
RS232 Receiver Time-Out
RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data flow control is used.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.
device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume. Default = RTS/CTS Off.
Flow Control, No Timeout
Two-Direction Flow Control
Flow Control with Timeout
* RTS/CTS Off
RS232 Timeout
When using Flow Control with Timeout, you must program the length of the delay you want to wait for CTS from the host. Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the bar code below, then setting the timeout (from 1-
5100 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
RS232 Timeout
XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops. To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.
XON/XOFF On
* XON/XOFF Off
ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/
NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default =
ACK/NAK Off.

Maximum Link Attempts
The Maximum Link Attempts setting controls the number of times the scanner tries to form a connection with a host.
During the connection setup process, the scanner transmits in order to search for and connect to a host. In order to prevent continuous transmissions that could interfere with other users of the ISM band, the number of attempts to connect is limited by this setting. After the maximum number of attempts is reached, the scanner will not attempt to reconnect to a host.
Pressing the scan button, scanning a host linking bar code, or pairing the scanner with a host resets the attempt count and the scanner will again try to link.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts bar code, then scan the number of attempts for the setting (from 0-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.
Maximum Link Attempts
Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to try to link until
Attempts to zero will cause the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a scan button press.
Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to link a scanner to a host typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact . Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time, in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the start of the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected to a host. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out bar code, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the inside back cover. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 3 seconds.

The scanner attempts to connect to the host every 15 seconds, measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start.
After one half hour, the scanner powers off.
Communication Between the Scanner and the Host
When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system. The wireless scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a
“good read” indication with a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep. This indicates only that the bar code has been scanned correctly.
When using an Access Point, the host also acknowledges when it has received the data. The wireless scanner recognizes data acknowledgment (ACK) from the host. If an Access Point cannot determine that the data has been properly sent to the host, the scanner issues an error tone. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host.
Programming the Scanner and Host
When using the scanner and host together as a system, menu parameters and configuration settings are stored in the host. If the scanner is not linked to a host, configuration settings are stored in the scanner.
RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
The wireless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio utilizing adaptive frequency hopping (APH) to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the host. Designed for point-to-point and multiple point-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. This makes the wireless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. The communication range between the scanner and host, depending on the environment, is 33 feet (10m). See
Flexible Power Management , page 3-10, for information about controlling this range.
System Conditions
The components of the wireless system interact in specific ways as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two hosts. The following information explains the wireless system operating conditions.
Scanner Is Out of Range
The wireless scanner is in communication with its host, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the host 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 an error tone indicating that there was no communication with the host. Refer to
and
Auto Reconnect Mode , page 3-2.
Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner relinks if the scanner or the host have been reset, or the scanner comes back into range. If the scanner
Auto Reconnect Mode , page 3-2 for further information.
Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On
Note: See Batch Mode, beginning on page 3-16, for further information.
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to the host when back in range.
You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a short buzz when you press the scan button 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 host.

Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 scanners to one Access Point. You cannot join an 8th scanner until you unlink one of the 7 scanners or take a scanner out of range.
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 current host and must be paired with a host to relink.
Multiple Scanner Operation
Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes. For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for a scanner that is receiving specific commands sent from the host.
3 - 10
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you have more than one scanner linked to a host and they all have the same name, the first scanner linked to the host receives commands. When renaming a series of scanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the host.
Perform the rename operation using either the bar codes on page 3-11
, or by sending the serial command :Scanner-
Name:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is the current name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the scanner. If you wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time and repeat the :ScannerName:BT_N-
AMNewName. command for each scanner.
To rename scanners with sequential, numeric names, scan the bar codes below.
Scan the Reset code after each name change and wait for the scanner to relink to the host before scanning a bar code to rename the next scanner.

Application Work Groups
Note: Application Work Groups can only be used with an Access Point.
Your wireless system can have up to 7 scanners linked to one host. You can also have up to 7 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. For example, you might want to have multiple work groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need to have different data appended to bar codes used in the warehouse area versus the retail area. You could assign all the scanners in the retail area to one work group and those in the warehouse to another.
Consequently, any desired changes to either the retail or warehouse area would apply to all scanners in that particular work group. Honeywell’s online configuration tool, EZConfig-Scanning (
page 8-2 ), 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 host, the scanner is updated with the latest settings from the host for its work group. The scanner also receives menu setting changes processed by the host. If a scanner is removed from a host and linked to another host, it will be updated with the new host settings for whatever work group to which that the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in work group 1 linked to the first host, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second host with the associated settings.
Application Work Group Selection
This programming selection allows you to assign a scanner to a work group by scanning the bar code below. You may then program the settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires.
Default = Group 0.

Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store bar code data when a scanner is out of range of its host, or when performing inventory. The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to the host when back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.
Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners with one Access Point. When a wireless system is being used in "multiple link mode," where up to 7 scanners are connected to one Access Point, some accumulated or batched scans could be lost if scanners are constantly moved in and out of range.
Automatic Batch Mode stores bar code data when the scanner is out of range of the host or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the host or Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the host or Access Point so data can be transmitted.
Inventory Batch Mode stores bar code data, whether or not you are in range of the host or Access Point. To transmit the
any bar codes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan bar codes again, the data must be transmitted to the host or
Access Point. Once the data is transmitted, it is cleared in the scanner.
Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the data is transmitted to the host or Access
Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear the scanner’s buffer, you must scan

When scanning in
Inventory Batch Mode (page 3-16), the scanner beeps every time a bar code is scanned. When Batch
Mode Beep is On, you will also hear a click when each bar code is sent to the host. If you do not want to hear these clicks, scan Batch Mode Beep Off. Default = Batch Mode Beep On.

Batch Mode Storage
When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can select whether the data is stored in Flash memory or in RAM.
Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches a power down timeout or if the battery power is very low.
RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has not been transmitted to the host or Access
Point, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if the scanner runs out of battery power, it will power down and the data will be lost.
Default = Flash Storage.

Batch Mode Quantity
When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple bar codes scanned, rather than a single bar code multiple times. For example, if you scan three bar codes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit your data it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the Quantity Codes (
), you could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.
Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the bar code data and the quantity, refer to
Data Formatting beginning on page 6-1.
Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.

Entering Quantities
Quantity Codes (
are shifted from right to left, so if a 5th digit is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits are moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.
For example, if the Quantity 5 bar code is scanned after the quantity has been set to 1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345.
Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's bar code.
2. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.
Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's bar code.
2. Scan the quantity 1 bar code.
3. Scan the quantity 5 bar code.
4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.
5. Scan the quantity 0 bar code.
Example: Change a quantity of 103 to 10.
To correct an incorrect quantity, scan the quantity 0 bar code to replace the incorrect digits, then scan the correct quantity bar codes.
1. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 1030.
2. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0300.
3. Scan the quantity 1 bar code to change the quantity to 3001.
4. Scan the quantity 0 bar code to change the quantity to 0010.

Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host validate incoming bar code data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
• The scanner must be paired with a Honeywell Access Point (AP01-010BT or AP01-100BT).
• The wireless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000) or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).
• RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.
• Host ACK must be set to On (
).
• A comma must be used as a terminator.
• 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 scanner.
Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via Application Work Groups. Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command. Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own group in
Host ACK mode.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on
. 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, which is required. (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default Application Work Group 0.)
Example: 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 that is in application work group zero beep low, then medium, then high.
Example: A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required if the item is not on file. In this case,
[ESC]7, is sent to the host for an on-file product
[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent to the host for a not-on-file product
When a bar code is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either the host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a bar code is scanned:
• The scanner reads the code and sends data to the host. No audible or visual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a successful read.
• Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from the host 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.
A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within 10 seconds. A time-out is indicated by an error tone. If a time-out occurs, the operator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received.

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when the scanner is hand-held, it reads only those bar codes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple codes are placed closely together, centering will insure that only the desired codes are read. (Centering can be used in conjunction with
Aimer Delay , page 4-12, for the most error-free operation
in applications where multiple codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the scanner can emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code scanners.)
If a bar code is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the Top of
Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window bar codes.
4 - 12
In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Bar Code 1 passes through the centering window, it will be read. Bar Code 2 does not pass through the centering window, so it will not be read.

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority over other symbologies in situations where both bar code symbologies appear on the same label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since some licenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code 39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as an unspecified type. When a low priority
it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology is located during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner will read any bar code in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no bar code in the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.
Scan a bar code below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred Symbology Off.

Output Sequence Overview
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: 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. You must hold the scan button while reading each bar code in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence , page 4-17).
2. Code I.D.
Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back cover).
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. (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
want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

Multiple Symbols
When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple symbols with a single press of the scanner’s button. If you press and hold the button, 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 scan button is pressed. When this programming selection is turned Off, the scanner will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam. Default = Off.

Video Reverse
Video Reverse is used to allow the scanner to read bar codes that are inverted. The Video Reverse Off bar code below is an example of this type of bar code. Scan Video Reverse Only to read only inverted bar codes. Scan Video Reverse and Stan-
dard Bar Codes to read both types of codes.
Note: After scanning Video Reverse Only, menu bar codes cannot be read. You must scan Video Reverse Off or Video
Reverse and Standard Bar Codes in order to read menu bar codes.

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 Scanned Data
1-11 alpha numeric & control characters variable length
Suffix
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.
•
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.
• The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which includes header information.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in the
Symbology Charts, beginning on page
Hex ID is “6A”.
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the

or suffix you wish to enter.
Note: 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.
To add a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
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. 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.
5 - 1
Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Scan 9, 9 from the
inside the back cover of this manual to apply this suffix to all symbologies.

inside the back cover of this manual. This corresponds with the hex value
for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page A-3.
Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology. If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology.
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
Symbology Charts, beginning on page
A-1) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

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 is output automatically. However, when you create a format, you must use a “send” com-
mand (see Send Commands on page 6-3) within the format program to output data.
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 Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes header information.
If a bar code is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there is one, will be used on the bar code data. If there is no other data format, the raw data is output.
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 below.
* Default Data Format
Add a Data Format
Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol ( page 6-2

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the bar code symbologies. 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 = 09Max. length = 20
EXAMPLE:
Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults, scan the bar codes included in the explanation of
cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

Codabar Check Character
Codabar check characters are created using different “modulos.” You can program the scanner to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = No Check Character.
No Check Character indicates that the scanner reads and transmits bar code data with or without a check character.
When Check Character is set to Validate and Transmit, the scanner will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, and will transmit this character at the end of the scanned data.
When Check Character is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit will only read Codabar bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.

Codabar Concatenation
Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the scanner looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character. In this case the two messages are concatenated into one with the “D” characters omitted.

GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application that accepts GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize one data carrier type.)
If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID
is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page A-1).

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on a scanner connected to your PC. EZConfig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner's firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters for a scanner. 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.
EZConfig-Scanning Operations
The EZConfig-Scanning 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 scanner and receive scanner 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 scanner. The scanner'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 a scanner. You can set or modify these parameters as required. You can later write the modified settings to the scanner, or save them to a dcf file.
Installing EZConfig-Scanning from the Web
Note: EZConfig-Scanning requires .NET software. If .NET is not installed on your PC, you will be prompted to install it during the EZConfig-Scanning installation.
1. Access the Honeywell web site at www.honeywellaidc.com
2. Click on the Products tab. Under Software, select Device Management.
3. Click on EZConfig-Device Configuration Software.
4. Click on the Software tab. Select EZConfig Cloud For Scanning (online version, must register for access) or
EZConfig for Scanning (to install on your PC, follow the next steps).
5. To install on your PC, when prompted, select Save File, and save the files to the c:\windows\temp directory.
6. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site.
7. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file.
8. Double click on the Setup.exe file. Follow the screen prompts to install the EZConfig-Scanning program.
9. If you’ve selected the defaults during installation, you can click on Start Menu-All Programs-Honeywell-EZConfig-
Scanning and select EZConfig for your browser.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
!
This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins.
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.
Remove Custom Defaults
Activate Defaults
Note: Scanning the Activate Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See
Wireless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for
additional information.

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 scanner. 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 RS232 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: This command is only used with wireless devices. It is used to specify whether you’re communicating with the host or the scanner. To send information to the scanner, use :Voyager: The default factory setting for a scanner is Voyager.
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 :*:.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu command group. For example, all RS232 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 RS232 baud rate is BAD.
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.
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.
9 - 1
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.
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
ENQ
Indicates a good command which has been processed.
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: What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena*.
Response: CBRENA0-1[ACK]
This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example: What is the default value for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena^.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the default setting for Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is 1, or on.
Example: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on.
Example: What are the device’s settings for all Codabar selections?
Enter: cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
9 - 2
This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set to 1, or on; the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t Transmit; the Check Character (CK2) is set to 0, or Not Required; concatenation (CCT) is set to 1, or Enabled; the Minimum Message Length (MIN) is set to 2 characters; the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is set to 60 characters; and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.
Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger
Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger Mode bar code (
), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering (
Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated and deactivated by sending the following commands:
Activate: SYN T CR
Deactivate: SYN U CR
The scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time-out has been
reached (see "Read Time-Out" on page 4-8 for a description, and the serial command on
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.
Activate Custom Defaults
Note: The Custom Defaults settings apply to all workgroups Scanning the Activate Custom Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host.
See Wireless System Operation beginning on page 3-1 for additional information.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Repairs
Repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These services are to be performed only by an authorized service center
Maintenance
Your device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable operation:
Cleaning the Scanner
The scanner’s housing may be cleaned with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent-water solution.)
If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only.
!
Caution:
Cleaning the 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 gentle dish soap and water.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the 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 distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on
11 - 1
Replacing a Battery
Step 1. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the back cover of the scanner.
Step 2. Lift the back cover up and out to expose the battery.
Step 3. Lift out the battery and replace, making sure the contacts on the battery line up with the contacts in the scanner.
Step 4. Replace the back cover and secure with the Phillips head screw.
11 - 2
Troubleshooting
Note: Make sure that your scanner’s battery is charged.
Visit the Services and Support section of our website ( www.honeywellaidc.com
) to check for the latest software for both the scanner and the host.
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 host 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 5-1 for further
information.
The scanner won’t read your bar code at all.
• 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 7 ).
If the scanner still can’t read the sample bar codes, scan All Symbologies on page 7-1.

ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements
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. If this is the case, select the code page with which the bar codes were created. The data characters should then appear properly.
