receiver time-out by scanning the barcode 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). RS-232 Handshaking RS-232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the Imager using software commands from the host device.
In Wand Emulation mode, the imager decodes the barcode then sends data in the same format as a wand imager. The Code 39 Format converts all symbolo- gies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128, Codabar, and Inter- leaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39.
Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks. Default = 50ms. 150ms Overall Checksum When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message. The check character is the character which when Exclu- sive-OR’d with every preceding character of the message yields a result of 0x00 (00H).
Wand Emulation Transmission Rate The Transmission Rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters. Default = 25 inches/second. Wand Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with black bars high, or reversed with white bars high.
Wand Emulation Idle The idle describes the state of the imager when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the imager’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the imager is connected. Default = Idle High .
Beeper Volume – Good Read The beeper volume codes modify the volume of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Medium for the 4600g / 4600r / 4600rp ; High for the 4800i . Medium High...
Beeper Pitch – Good Read The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the imager emits on a good read. Default = Medium. Low (1600 Hz) * Medium (3250 Hz) High (4200 Hz) Beeper Duration – Good Read The beeper duration codes modify the length of the beep the imager emits on a good read.
LED flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps, scan the barcodebarcode below and then scan a digit (1-9) barcode and the Save barcode on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = One.
Trigger Modes Manual/Serial Trigger You can activate the imager either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trig- ger command (see Trigger Commands on page 12-4). When in manual trigger mode, the imager scans until a barcode is read, or until the trigger is released. When in serial mode, the imager scans until a barcode has been read or until the deactivate command is sent.
Low Power Time-Out Timer Scan the Low Power Time-Out barcode to change the time-out duration (in sec- onds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover, and Save . Default = 120 seconds. If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into low power mode.
When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol. (See Scan Stand Symbol is presented, the imager is triggered to read the new code. Note: The imager automatically adjusts the illumination LEDs to the lowest light level possible to maintain a good lock on the Scan Stand symbol.
Presentation LED Behavior after Decode When an imager is in presentation mode, the LEDs remain on and continue scanning for a short time after a barcode is decoded. If you wish to turn the LEDs off immediately after a barcode is decoded, scan the LEDs Off barcode, below.
Image Snap and Ship Image Snap and Ship tells the imager to take a picture (rather than read a bar- code) the next time the trigger is pressed. Once the picture is snapped, it is shipped to the host system as a jpeg file. The imager then reverts to barcode reading for the next trigger press.
Reread Delay only works when in Presentation™ Mode (page 3-7). Short (500 ms) Long (1000 ms) User-Specified Reread Delay If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the barcode below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save .
If you have an aimer delay programmed (see aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power Level. Note: If you scan the Off barcode, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off, making it impossible to scan barcodes in low light. To turn the LED Power Level back on, move to a brightly lit area and scan either the Low or the High barcode below.
Imager Time-Out Imager Time-Out powers down the imager after the unit has been idle for the specified time. To prevent the imager from powering down, set this time-out to 0. Scan the barcode below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (from 0 - 999,999 ms) from the inside back cover, then scanning Save .
5X00 engines. Refer to the Revision on page 11-1 for information on determining the engine in your unit. The 4600g, 4600r, 4800i, and 4600rp do not allow concurrent aimer mode. The Aimer Mode feature allows you to lower peak current during scanning by alternating the aimer and illumination LEDs.

Video Reverse is used to allow the imager to read barcodes that are inverted. The “Off” barcode below is an example of this type of barcode. If additional menuing is required, Video Reverse must be disabled to read the menu bar- codes and then re-enabled after menuing is completed.
Data Editing Prefix/Suffix Overview When a barcode is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the barcode data. This group of barcode 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.
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 Appendix A) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.
To Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes: You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbol- ogy. 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.
Prefix Selections Add Prefix Clear One Prefix Clear All Prefixes 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...
Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay barcode, then the 2-digit hex value for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4. Delay Length Character to Trigger Delay To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length barcode, and set the number of steps to 0.
Intermessage Delay An intermessage delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed between each scan transmission. Scan the Intermessage Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps (0-99), and the Save bar- code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Data Formatting Data Format Editor Introduction You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imager’s output. For exam- ple, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the output.

Data Format Editor Enter Data Format * Default Data Format Clear One Data Format Clear All Data Formats Save Discard Data Formatter When Data Formatter is turned off, the barcode data is output to the host as read (including prefixes and suffixes). Choose one of the following options. Default = Data Formatter On, but Not Required.
Alternate Data Formats Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one barcode using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are pro- grammed (see page 5-1), you must input whether you are programming the pri- mary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
Secondary Interface By switching secondary interface cables, the imager can, for example, commu- nicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface) in addition to the host terminal (primary interface). Refer to the table below for interfaces supported by your model. Some features don’t apply if the interface is not supported by your model.
You can temporarily disable the secondary interface, but still retain the second- ary interface settings in the imager’s memory by scanning the Disable barcode below. To re-enable the secondary interface, scan the Enable barcode. Default =Disable . * Disable Enable Secondary RS-232 Connection All communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol.
The Code 39 Format barcode below sets the terminal ID to 61, and the Same Code Format barcode sets the terminal ID to 64. Wand Emulation Same Code Format Wand Emulation Multi Block Note: See "Imager Models" your imager. Note: Changing secondary wand emulation settings also changes the primary wand emulation settings (see Delay Between Blocks This sets the delay time between data blocks.
Overall Checksum When this option is turned on, a computed check character is added at the end of the entire message. The check character is the character which when Exclu- sive-OR’d with every preceding character of the message yields a result of 0x00 (00H).
Wand Emulation Polarity The Polarity can be sent as standard with black bars high, or reversed with white bars high. Default = Black High. * Black High White High Wand Emulation Idle The idle describes the state of the imager when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the imager’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the imager is connected.
Note: Programming Read Time-Out in the secondary interface also programs it in the primary interface. Manual Trigger, Low Power Note:Does not apply to the 4600g/4600r/4600rp/4800i with Advanced Illumina- tion. The imager powers down until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the imager powers up and operates until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time-Out barcode below.
Low Power Time-Out Timer Scan the Low Power Time-Out barcode to change the time-out duration (in sec- onds). Then scan the time-out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover, and Save . Default = 120 seconds. If the unit remains idle during the low power time-out interval, the unit goes into low power mode.
Scan Stand Mode Note: Scan Stand Mode is only available for non-advanced illumination units with software revision 31205480-090 or older. Refer to the Software Revision software in your unit. When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, it remains idle as long as it sees the Scan Stand symbol.

Imaging Commands The image scanner is like a digital camera in the way it captures, manipulates, and transfers images. The following commands allow you to alter the way the imager performs these functions. Single-Use Basis Imaging Commands with their modifiers send instructions to the imager on a single-use basis, and take effect for a single image capture.
Step 1 - Take a Picture Using IMGSNP Image Snap - IMGSNP An image is taken whenever the hardware button is pressed, or when the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed. The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to change the look of the image in memory.
Page 145
L - LED State Determines if the LEDs should be on or off, and when. Ambient illumination (0L) is preferred for taking pictures of color documents, such as ID cards, especially when the imager is in a stand. LED illumination (1L) is preferred when the imager is handheld.
Page 146
G - Gain Gain is used in Manual Style only (2P). Like a volume control, the gain modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. As you increase the gain, the noise in an image is also amplified. No gain (default) Medium gain Heavy gain Maximum gain...
% - Target Set Point Percentage Sets the target point for the light and dark values in the captured image. A setting of 75% means 75% of the pixels are at or below the target white value, and 25% of the pixels are above the target white value. Altering this setting from the default is not recommended under normal circumstances.
IMGSHP Modifiers A - Infinity Filter Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater than 10 feet or 3m). The Infinity Filter should not be used with Infinity filter off (default) Infinity filter on Example of Infinity Filter off (0A) from approximately 12 feet (3.66m) away: C - Compensation Flattens the image to account for variations in illumination across the image.
Page 149
E - Edge Sharpen An edge sharpen filter cleans up the edges of an image, making it look cleaner and sharper. While edge sharpening does make the image look cleaner, it also removes some fine detail from the original image. The strength of the edge sharpen filter can be entered from 1 to 24.
Page 150
H - Histogram Stretch Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not available with some image formats. No stretch (default) Histogram stretch Example of Histogram Stretch at 0H: I - Invert Image Invert image is used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis. Invert around the X axis (flips picture upside down) Invert around the Y axis (flips picture left to right) Example of image not...

IF- Noise Reduction Used to reduce the salt and pepper noise in an image. No salt and pepper noise reduction (default) Salt and pepper noise reduction Example of Noise Reduction Off (0if): IR - Image Rotate Image as snapped (rightside up) (default) Rotate image 90 degrees to the right Rotate image 180 degrees (upside down) Rotate image 90 degrees to the left...
Page 152
J - JPEG Image Quality Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image format is selected. Higher numbers result in higher quality, but larger files. Smaller numbers result in greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, lower quality, but smaller files. (Default = 50) Image is compressed as much as possible while preserving quality factor of n ( n = 0 - 100) worst quality (smallest file)
Page 153
The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 480. (Default = all rows) Uncropped Image: Example of Image Crop set to 200B: Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the image;...
Page 154
S - Pixel Ship Pixel Ship sizes an image in proportion to its original size. It decimates the image by shipping only certain, regularly spaced pixels. For example, 4S would transmit every fourth pixel from every fourth line. The smaller number of pixels shipped, the smaller the image, however, after a certain point the image becomes unusable.
Page 155
Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use lower numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a similar effect to setting Range: 0-255. Example of Document Image Filter set to 0U: V - Blur Image Smooths transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image.
W - Histogram Ship A histogram gives a quick picture of the tonal range of an image, or key type. A low-key image has detail concentrated in the shadows; a high-key image has detail concentrated in the highlights; and an average-key image has detail concentrated in the midtones.
To see this example, align the aimer with the signature area (not with the bar- code), then press the trigger. Send the following IMGBOX command string after the button push: Note: Case is not important in the command string. It is used here only for clarity. The following image is captured: The IMGBOX commands have many different modifiers that can be used to change the size and appearance of the signature image output by the imager.
Page 158
B - Output Image Height This option is used to size the image vertically. If using this option, set the resolution (R) to zero. Example of Image Height set to 50B: Example of Image Height set to 100B: D - Pixel Depth This indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted image, which defines whether it will be grayscale or black and white.
Page 159
K - Gamma Correction Gamma measures the brightness of midtone values produced by the image. You can brighten or darken an image using gamma correction. A higher gamma correction yields an overall brighter image. The lower the setting, the darker the image. The optimal setting for text images is 50K. Gamma correction off (default) Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image Apply gamma correction factor n ( n = 1-255)
Page 160
R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area The resolution is the number of pixels that the imager outputs per each minimum bar width. The higher the value for R, the higher the quality of the image, but also the larger the file size. Values begin at 1000. The imager automatically inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit.
Page 161
X - Horizontal Barcode Offset The horizontal barcode offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the signature capture area. Positive values move the horizontal center to the right and negative values to the left. Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.
OCR Programming Use this section to program the Imager for optical character recognition (OCR). The 2D imager reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface. Note: OCR is not as secure as barcodes. To enhance security in OCR applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an OCR check character.
OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default set- ting allows you to scan any eight digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template, page 9-3).
SEMI Font SEMI Font On allows you to scan the SEMI font used in the semiconductor industry. SEMI Font On All OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite barcodes, but not OCR fonts. However, any OCR templates you have created will be retained in memory.
Page 166
Template Characters represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) represents that a check character is verified but not transmitted represents any digit represents any available OCR character represents character from user-defined variable “g” represents character from user-defined variable “h” represents character from user-defined variable “g” or “h” represents that a check character is verified but transmitted represents any uppercase letter marks the start of a new template...
Character Match Sequences This method is used if you need a template that shows a specific character in a specific position. Put the character in uppercase in the template at the required position (template characters are always lower case). Example: You need to read three variable digits, three specific characters (ABC), followed by three variable digits.
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” Chart statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template. Scan d four times, scan l two times , then scan d two more times.
Reading Multi-Row OCR The imager is capable of decoding multi-row OCR text. Note: Reading rows longer than sixteen characters is not recommended. Consider the following example. This example shows serial commands as they would be entered using Quick*View. Example: You need to read multiple rows of OCR-A data as shown below: First, enable the OCR-A font.
Example: You need to read any combination of seven digits, with a modulo 10 check character in the eighth position. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Then scan the Enter OCR Template symbol, and scan the d from the c once.
Also enter the OCR template: Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string: The imager performs the following check character computation: (6 + 5 + 1 + 2 +3 + 5 + 1 + X) modulo 11 = 0 Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader outputs the message: 6512351 Programming a User-Defined Check Character...
Page 172
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character Starting with the check character and working backward through the message, the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 3, then 1, then 3, and so on. This is the checking scheme used in many GS1 symbologies, including U.P.C. and Interleaved 2 of 5 (when a check digit is invoked).
Then scan the string below: The reader performs the check character computation below: (0 x 1 + 1 x 2 + 2 x 1 + 8 x 2 + 4 x 1 + 5 x 2 + 4 x 1) modulo 10 = (0 + 2 + 2 + (1 + 6) + 4 + (1 + 0) + 4) modulo 10 Since the result is zero, the message is considered to be valid, so the reader outputs the message: 012845...
Page 174
4. Scan the symbol below to set up three templates to handle the ISBN number, the three digit price field, and the four digit price field. 5. Finally, set up the ISBN check digit, which is a special position-weighted modulo 11 checksum. The imager automatically invokes the ISBN checksum for template rows that are: 1.) at least fourteen characters long, 2.) whose first four characters are the letters “ISBN,”...
OCR Template Codes Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the factory if you have an application that requires reading four or more rows of OCR. Enter OCR Template Enter User-Defined † Variable “h” † One or more two-digit numbers and Save are required after reading this pro- gramming symbol.
