CHAPTER 1 Getting Started The HE40T is a revolutionary new low cost bar code reader that employs Microscan’s industry leading Direct Part Mark (DPM) reading technology. Developed to be the first universal reader, no other single device performs as many functions. With a cost of ownership far less than comparable systems, the HE40T incorporates a unique dual path optical system, a 1.3 million pixel CMOS sensor, and a 400 MHz processor.
Attaching the H2 Cabled Handle The HE40T uses the battery compartment to “snap to” the handle. Figure 1–1 shows the H2 handle with flexible connector. Figure 1–2 shows the battery blank. FIGURE 1–1. H2 Handle with Flexible Connector Flexible Connector FIGURE 1–2. H2 Handle with Battery Blank To attach the handle to the reader: 1. 2 Push the 8-pin DIN connector at the end of the reader into the flexible connector at the end of the handle, as shown in Figure 1–3. HE40T Quickstart Guide Rev 2.0.
FIGURE 1–3. Attaching the H2 Handle Flexible Connector 2. Insert the tab on the back of the handle into the reader (Figure 1–3). 3. Snap the reader onto the handle, matching the battery compartment to the battery connectors, visible inside the handle, as shown in Figure 1–3. The HE40T can be secured further with threaded screws on the under side of the handle, and on the end of the flexible connector, as shown in Figure 1–4. FIGURE 1–4. Rev 2.0.
Attaching the BH1/BH2 Battery Handle The HE40T uses the battery compartment to “snap to” the handle. The BH1/BH2 handle is shown in Figure 1–5. The handle with battery is shown in Figure 1–6. FIGURE 1–5. BH1/BH2 Handle FIGURE 1–6. BH1/BH2 Handle with Battery To attach the handle to the reader: 4 1. Insert the tab on the back of the handle into the reader, as shown in Figure 1–7. 2.
FIGURE 1–7. Attaching the BH1/BH2 Handle The HE40T can be secured further with threaded screws on the under side of the handle, as shown in Figure 1–8. FIGURE 1–8. Rev 2.0.
HE40T Wireless This HE40T features a Bluetooth® wireless radio. The radio allows for point to point wireless communication with other Bluetooth devices that support serial port protocol (SPP). The following information will give you general instructions on connecting your HE40T to a desktop or laptop computer with a Bluetooth radio.
To connect your reader: 1. Scan the Reset to RF Factory Defaults code shown in Figure 1–11. FIGURE 1–11. Reset to RF Factory Defaults Code Reset to RF Factory Defaults QuickConnect (Sample) Scan the QuickConnect code that matches the Bluetooth address of your device 2. Scan the QuickConnect code you received. 3. The HE40T will automatically connect. By default, the HE40T will beep once after it connects and beep three times in a row if it did not connect. 4.
For more information about setting up and using the HE40T with a wireless Bluetooth configuration, consult the HE40T User Manual. HE40T Cables The HE40T is available with USB, RS-232 and PS2 cables. All of the cables are connected to the HE40T with a 8-pin DIN connector. Different cables may be required for different hosts. • HE40T with H2 Cabled Handle — The 8-pin DIN connection is at the bottom of the handle. Firmly push the 8-pin connector into the bottom of the handle.
• HE40T with BH1/BH2 Battery Handle — Firmly push the 8-pin connector into the back end of the reader, as shown in Figure 1–15. The cable has a locking mechanism that will firmly hold the cable in place. To detach the cable from the reader, you must pinch the plastic on the 8-pin DIN and pull back to disengage the connector. FIGURE 1–15. Handle with Cable Attached USB Cable Connection 1. Attach the USB cable to the HE40T. 2.
PS2 Cable Connection 1. Power off the host computer. This process requires shutting down your computer. If you disconnect your computer keyboard while it is running, your computer will lock up. 2. Attach the PS2 cable to the HE40T. 3. If you have a cabled keyboard, detach the keyboard cable from your computer and connect that same connector to the female connection on the HE40T PS2 cable, as shown in Figure 1–17. FIGURE 1–17. 4.
The HE40T is powered by the PS2 port and does not require a power supply. Once properly connected, the HE40T will power on. The reader is shipped pre-configured. RS-232 Cable Connection 1. Attach the RS-232 cable to the HE40T. 2. Connect the RS-232 cable to your host computer. 3. The RS-232 interface has an optional power supply. If you have a power supply, plug the power supply adapter into the RS-232 cable and then plug the power adapter into a wall socket. HE40T will power on once connected. 4.

Save Settings Save changes made to the HE40T configuration by scanning the codes in Figure 1–23: FIGURE 1–23. Save Settings Save Settings Targeting and Reading Techniques The HE40T utilizes digital camera technology to take a picture of a symbol. Once an image is captured, the HE40T utilizes Microscan’s industry leading decoder to extract data from the captured image. The H2 Cabled Handle and BH1/BH2 Battery Handle each feature a trigger on the handle, as shown in Figure 1–24.
Reading Symbols with the HE40T 1. The HE40T features omnidirectional decoding. Center the symbol in any orientation within the laser dot aiming pattern, as shown in Figure 1–25. Note: The HE40T can read a symbol that is not centered; however, the HE40T performs best when a code is centered. The HE40T features omnidirectional decoding. Aiming the targeting laser at the center of the symbol ensures the best performance for decoding.
3. Hold the HE40T Reader still - DO NOT SWIPE OR MOVE THE READER. Press the trigger until the HE40T beeps, indicating the bar code has been successfully decoded.

Miscellaneous Programming Codes Prefix Settings If you scan the following codes, you may lose your current settings. Save settings on your reader before scanning the prefix codes. If you scan more than one prefix, you will receive each scanned prefix in your scanned data (i.e., if you scan comma prefix twice, you will get two comma prefixes). Scan the codes in Figure 1–34 and Figure 1–35 to set the appropriate prefix: FIGURE 1–34.
