1 Getting Started About This Manual This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the 3800g. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support information are also included. Hand Held Products bar code imagers are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide. An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Connecting the Imager with USB Note: Hand Held Products recommends connecting the imager end of the cable first and the host end second. An imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer. 1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the computer. 2. The imager beeps. 3. Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.
IBM SurePos Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the 3800gX5 for IBM SurePos (USB Handheld imager) or IBM SurePos (USB Tabletop imager). Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register. IBM SurePos (USB Handheld Scanner) Interface IBM SurePos (USB Tabletop Scanner) Interface USB HID Scan the following code to program the 3800g for USB HID bar code scanners. Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131.
ACK/NAK Mode On * Off Plug and Play Plug and Play bar codes provide instant imager set up for commonly used interfaces. Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect.
Connecting the Imager When Powered by Host (Keyboard Wedge) An imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” plugged into the serial port or connected to a portable data terminal. 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. 3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager and to the terminal/ computer. 4.
If you programmed the imager 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. Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix. IBM PC AT and Compatibles with CR suffix Laptop Direct Connect For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows operation of the imager in parallel with the integral keyboard.
4. Connect the power supply and plug into an outlet. 5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. Note: You will not hear a power-up beep because the 3800g is factory defaulted to a USB connection. You must scan the RS-232 Interface bar code below to enable RS-232 ability. All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.
Reading Techniques The imager has a bright red aiming beam that corresponds to its horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered horizontally over the bar code; it will not read if the aiming beam is in any other direction. Good Technique Bad Technique Bad Technique The best focus point for reading most code densities is about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the unit.
2 Terminal Interfaces Terminal ID If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to Terminal ID, beginning on page 2-1 and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan the Terminal ID bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to program the imager for your terminal ID. Scan Save to save your selection. For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003.

Keyboard Country Scan the appropriate country code below to program the keyboard for your country.
Please refer to Hand Held Products website ( www.handheld.com) for complete keyboard country support information and applicable interfaces. If you need to program a keyboard for a country other than one listed above, scan the Program Keyboard Country bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) for the appropriate country from the inside back cover, then the Save bar code. 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 imager 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. Default = Off Automatic Direct Connect Mode On * Automatic Direct Connect Mode Off RS-232 Baud Rate Baud Rate sends the data from the imager to the terminal at the specified rate. The host terminal must be set for the same baud rate as the imager. 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.

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 imager emits on a good read.
Beeper Duration – Good Read The beeper duration codes modify the length of the beep the imager 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 imager 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 imager’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the imager. Once the imager has timed out, you can activate the imager 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.
Hands Free Time-Out The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager 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 imager reverts to the original hands free mode.
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. User-Specified Reread Delay Centering Window Use the centering feature to narrow the imager’s field of view so the imager reads only the bar code you want. When centering is turned on, the imager only reads codes that intersect or are contained within the centering window you set up.
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 imager decodes it. When turned on, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the imager will not transmit the output data to the host device. Note: This selection is unavailable when the Multiple Symbols Selection is turned on.
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 imager 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 imager 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 imager 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 imager 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 imager’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 imager 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.

F3 Send up to but not including “ss” character (Search and Send) starting from current cursor position, leaving cursor pointing to “ss” character followed by “xx” key or function code. Syntax = F3ssxx (ss and xx both stand for the hex values for ASCII codes, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A-2.
FC E4 E5 FE EC ED zz is the list of characters to be suppressed. (xx stands for the hex value for an ASCII code, see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252) on page A2.) Disables suppress filter and clear all suppressed characters. Syntax = FC. Replaces up to 15 characters in the data string with user specified characters. Replacement continues until the E5 command is encountered. Syntax = E4nnxx1xx2yy1yy2...
Data Formatter When Data Formatter is turned off, the bar code data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On. * Data Formatter On, but Not Required Data Formatter Off When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited format or the imager does not transmit the input data to the host device.

6 Secondary Interface By switching secondary interface cables, the 3800g imager, for example, can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to the host terminal (primary interface). See the table below for the secondary interfaces for the 3800g.
RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces. If you want to change the RS-232 settings, refer to the Connecting the Imager with RS-232 Serial Port section on page 1-6. RS-232 Interface Secondary Trigger Mode Manual Trigger: You must press the imager trigger to scan. When not scanning, idle power is maintained. Default = Manual Trigger.
Hands Free Time-Out The Automatic Trigger and Presentation Modes are referred to as “hands free” modes. If the imager’s trigger is pulled when using a hands free mode, the imager changes to manual trigger mode. You can set the time the imager 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 imager reverts to the original hands free mode.

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 imager will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force the imager 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 Codabar * On Off 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 imager to read only Codabar bar codes with Modulo 16 check characters. Default = No Check Character.
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. * No Check Character Validate Modulo 16, but Don’t Transmit Validate Modulo 16 and Transmit Codabar Concatenation Codabar supports symbol concatenation. When you enable concatenation, the imager looks for a Codabar symbol having a “D” start character, adjacent to a symbol having a “D” stop character.
Codabar Message Length Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length on page 7-2 for additional information. Minimum and Maximum lengths = 2-60. Minimum Default = 4, Maximum Default = 60. Minimum Message Length Maximum Message Length 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.
Code 39 Check Character No Check Character indicates that the imager 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 imager to append the data from several Code 39 bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this function is enabled, the imager 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 imager 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.
Code 39 Code Page 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.
When Check Digit is set to Validate, but Don’t Transmit, the unit only reads Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a check digit, but will not transmit the check digit with the scanned data. When Check Digit is set to Validate and Transmit, the imager only reads Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes printed with a check digit, and will transmit this digit at the end of the scanned data. Default = No Check Digit.
Code 93 < Default All Code 93 Settings > Code 93 * On Off Code 93 Message Length Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length on page 7-2 for additional information.

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: If you have a unit capable of keyboard wedge mode, scan the bar code below and the unit will communicate in RS-232 mode, allowing it to work with Visual Xpress. To convert the imager back to keyboard wedge communication, cycle the power.
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 3800g. 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 1-7). 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 imager with serial trigger commands. First, the imager 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 11-7).

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.
