Connecting the Scanner When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge) A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in wand emulation or non decoded output mode. The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection: 1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/ computer. Disconnect 3.
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.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect. Keyboard Wedge Connection 3800r scanners are factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and you do not need to modify the settings, skip to Chapter 3 - Output. If you programmed the scanner for a different terminal interface and you want to change to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface, scan the bar code below.
Wand Emulation Plug & Play In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand imager. 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. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Code 39 Format bar code below sets the terminal ID to 61. The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Same Code Format bar code sets the terminal ID to 64.
Each bar code above also programs the following suffixes for each symbology: Symbology EAN 8 EAN 13 UPC A UPC E Code 39 Interleaved 2 of 5 Code 128 * Code 128 ** Suffix 0C 16 0D 0A 00 0A 00 0D 00 0A 00 18 0B 0B 0B 0B * Suffixes programmed for Code 128 with IBM 4683 Port 5B, IBM 4683 Port 9B HHBCR-1, and IBM 4683 Port 17 Interfaces **Suffixes programmed for Code 128 with IBM 4683 Port 9 HHBCR-2 Interface 1 - 10 3800i/3800r User’s Guide

Program Keyboard Country Keyboard Style This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. Default = Regular.
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 your computer. Keyboard Modifiers This modifies special keyboard features, such as CTRL+ ASCII codes and Turbo Mode. Control + ASCII Mode On: The scanner sends key combinations for ASCII control characters for values 00-1F.
Automatic Direct Connect Mode: This selection can be used if you have an IBM AT style terminal and the system is dropping characters.
Connecting the Scanner with RS-232 Serial Port Note: These instructions are for use with the RS-232 power stealer cable. 1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner. Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer. 5 2 3 4 3. Unplug the mouse or keyboard from the computer. Plug the mouse or keyboard into the power tap on the scanner cable. 4.
RS-232 Baud Rate Baud Rate sends the data from the scanner to the terminal at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the scanner. Default = 115,200.
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 is a set of rules concerning the exchange of data between serially communicating devices. 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 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 imager settings.
Wand Emulation Transmission Rate The transmission rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters. Default = 25 inches/second. 10 * 25 40 80 120 150 200 Wand Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with black bars high, or reversed with white bars high. Default = Black High.
Wand Emulation Idle The idle describes the state of the scanner when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the scanner’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the scanner is connected. Default = Idle High. * Idle High Idle Low Wand Emulation Note: Changing primary wand emulation settings also changes the secondary wand emulation settings (see Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation on page 6-2).
Delay Between Blocks Note: This option is not applicable to Laser Emulation Raw Output (see Secondary Laser Emulation on page 6-3). This sets the delay time between data blocks. Default = 50ms. 5ms * 50ms 150ms 500ms Overall Checksum Note: This option is not applicable to Laser Emulation Raw Output (see Secondary Laser Emulation on page 6-3). When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message.
3 Output Good Read Indicators Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = On. * On Off Beeper Volume – Good Read The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the scanner emits on a good read. Default = High for the 3800i, Medium for the 3800r.
Beeper Duration – Good Read The beeper duration codes modify the length of the beep the scanner emits on a good read. Default = Normal. * Normal Beep Short Beep LED – Good Read The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Default = On. * On Off Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read.
Good Read Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the scanner can read another bar code. Default = No Delay. * No Delay Short Delay (500 ms) Medium Delay (1000 ms) Long Delay (1500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Read Time-Out 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 from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 300,000.
Presentation Mode Note: Presentation mode does not work when a scanner is programmed for the laser emulation interface. Note: If the Presentation Mode selection is enabled, the aimer beam option is disabled. 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.
Reread Delay only works when in automatic trigger mode (see page 3-4). Short (500 ms) * Medium (750 ms) Long (1000 ms) Extra Long (2000 ms) User-Specified Reread Delay If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Aimer Beam Delay (Aimer Beam option only) The Aimer Beam Delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the reader before the standard illumination and decoding starts. The quickset codes sets the time between when the trigger is pulled and when the decode starts to either 1 or 2 seconds. During the delay time, the aiming beam appears, but the illumination LEDs won’t turn on until the delay time is over.
Aimer Beam Time-Out (Aimer Beam option only) Aimer Beam Time-Out powers down the aimer beam after a time-out if the trigger is still pulled and there isn’t a valid decode. Scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (from 0 - 240,000 ms) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual and then scan Save.
The figure below illustrates the percentage range from 1 to 100%. 40% 60% 30% 70% 80% 20% 90% 10% 0% 100% Example: If you have two bar codes next to one another and the centering window is set to 40% left edge and 60% right edge, only the bar code that intersects that window will be decoded.
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.
Other Programming Selections •Discard This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes. Output Sequence Editor Enter Sequence Default Sequence Require Output Sequence When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
The breakdown of the command line is shown below: SEQBLK 62 0011 41 FF 6A 0012 42 FF 69 0011 43 FF sequence editor start command code identifier for Code 39 Code 39 code length (9) plus CR suffix (2) = 11 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A” termination string for first code code identifier for Code 128 Code 128 code length (10) plus CR suffix (2) = 12 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B” termination string for second code code identifier for Code 93 Code 93 code length (9) plus CR suffix
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.
4 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.
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.
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.
Suffix Selections Add Suffix Clear One Suffix Clear All Suffixes Function Code Transmit When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Supported Interface Keys starting on page 8-3. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.
Intercharacter Delay An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Prefix Scanned Data 1 2 3 4 Suffix 5 Intercharacter Delay Intercharacter Delay To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of steps to 0.
Interfunction Delay An interfunction delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed between the transmission of each segment of the message string. Scan the Interfunction Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Prefix STX 1 Scanned Data HT 2 3 4 5 Suffix CR LF Interfunction Delays Interfunction Delay To remove this delay, scan the Interfunction Delay bar code, then set the number of steps to 0.
5 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.
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. 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.

6 Secondary Interface By switching secondary interface cables, the 3800i/3800r scanner, for example, can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to the host terminal (primary interface). See the tables below for the secondary interfaces for each 3800i/3800r model. 3800i Models The chart below lists the 3800i scanner models. “SR” indicates “Standard Range” linear optics.
Enabling the Secondary Interface The secondary interface can be programmed at any time. You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the secondary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable bar code below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable bar code. Default =Disable.
Secondary Laser Emulation Use this selection when connecting to a secondary terminal with integral decoding. This also sets the transmission rate to 36 scans per second, the polarity to white high, and deletes all prefixes and suffixes. * Laser Emulation Same Code Output When you scan the following bar code, the imager sends the raw data edges to the host for host decoding. This also sets the transmission rate to 36 scans per second and the polarity to white high.
Laser Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with white bars high, or reversed with black bars high. Default = White High. * White High Black High Laser Emulation Idle The idle describes the state of the scanner when no data is being transmitted. When in Non Decoded mode, you must set the scanner’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the scanner is connected. Default = Idle High.
Manual Trigger, Low Power: Scan the Manual Trigger, Low Power bar code below and the scanner “sleeps” until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner wakes up and operates at normal power until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time-Out bar code. Then, the scanner goes to “sleep” again. Manual Trigger, Low Power Low Power Time-Out: Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration.

7 Symbologies Introduction This programming section contains the following menu selections. Refer to Chapter 11 for settings and defaults.
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.
Codabar Start/Stop Characters Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters. Default = Don’t Transmit. Transmit * Don’t Transmit 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.
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. Default = On. Character Start Stop Start Stop Codabar A12D D34A Select Require to prevent the scanner from decoding a single “D” Codabar symbol without its companion.
Code 39 < Default All Code 39 Settings > Code 39 * On Off Code 39 Start/Stop Characters Start/Stop characters identify the leading and trailing ends of the bar code. You may either transmit, or not transmit Start/Stop characters. Default = Don’t Transmit.
Code 39 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, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Code 39 bar codes printed with a check character, but will not transmit the check character with the scanned data.
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.
Full ASCII If Full ASCII Code 39 decoding is enabled, certain character pairs within the bar code symbol will be interpreted as a single character. For example: $V will be decoded as the ASCII character SYN, and /C will be decoded as the ASCII character #. Default = Off.

9 Utilities To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart, included in the Appendix A, page A-1) for the single character code that identifies each symbology.) This action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all symbologies. This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is power cycled. Add Code I.D.
Temporary Visual Xpress Configuration For quick download communication configuration, scan the Visual Xpress bar code to temporarily configure the imager for Visual Xpress settings. Refer to Visual Xpress on page 10-1 for additional information about Visual Xpress. Note: Connect the imager using RS-232 cables. Scan the bar code below and the unit will communicate in RS-232 mode, allowing it to work with Visual Xpress. The imager reverts to the original or reprogrammed interface when the power is cycled.
10 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.
Installing Visual Xpress from the Web 1. Access the Hand Held Products web site at www.handheld.com. 2. Click in the Quick Search text box and enter Visual Xpress. 3. Click on Search Now. 4. Click on the entry for Visual Xpress. 5. 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 and unzip the file you saved. 8. Double click on Setup.
11 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 3800i/3800r. 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 page 1-8). The following commands can be sent via a PC com port using terminal emulation software.
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.
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: Enter: Response: Example #1:What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable? cbrena*.
Trigger Commands You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, the scanner must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the Manual/Serial Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-3), or by sending the Manual/ Serial Menu Command (page 11-8).

13 Maintenance 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. Please see Customer Support on page 14-1 for further information. Maintenance The 3800i/3800r provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Replacing the Interface Cable The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the 3800i/3800r scanner’s handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable. • Order replacement cables from Hand Held Products or from an authorized distributor. • When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original interface cable.
To Replace the 3800i Interface Cable: 1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from the terminal or computer. 3. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the cord lock from the base of the imager if in use. 4. Locate the small hole on the side of the imager’s handle. This is the cable release. Cable Release 5. Straighten one end of a paper clip. 6. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and press in. This depresses the retention tab, releasing the connector.
• Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects. Is the bar code displayed but not entered? 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.

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. If this is the case, select the code page with which the bar codes were created. The data characters should then appear properly. Note: The Code Page option is available for Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128.
