1 Getting Started
Introduction
The 5X10/80 series of products is designed for integration into a wide range of
OEM devices. The engines compact mechanical design can drop into many
existing applications, allowing OEMs and third-party manufacturers to integrate
the benefits of image-based scanning into a variety of devices, including
handheld computers (PDTs), medical instrumentation, diagnostic equipment,
and robotics.
Two different decoding configurations provide OEMs the flexibility required to
address various application-specific needs. The 5X10, with linear and PDF417
decoding, delivers "laser-like" reading on linear codes, and point-and-shoot on
stacked codes. The 5X80 full-featured decoder incorporates Hand Held
Products comprehensive list of decoding capabilities. A Software Developers Kit
provides a simple software interface (APIs) to help ease integration. For
software updates and additional information, visit the Hand Held Products
website at www.handheld.com.
About This Manual

This Users Guide provides demonstration, installation, and programming
instructions for the engine. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and
customer support information are also included.
Hand Held Products bar code engines 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.
Unpacking the Engine

After you open the shipping carton containing the OEM Engine, take the
following steps:
Check to make sure everything you ordered is present.

1-2 5X10/5X80 Users Guide

Connecting the Development Engine to the PC
The development OEM Engine can connect to a PC for evaluation.
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. If using a USB connection, connect the included interface cable to the
engine and to the matching USB port on the back of the computer. Skip to
step 5.
Note: For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to Hand
Held Products USB Application Note, available at www.handheld.com.
3. If using an RS-232 connection, connect the serial interface cable to the

engine and to the matching port on the back of the computer.

4. Connect the power supply connector to the serial interface cable. Plug in the
power supply.
5. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The engine beeps.
6. If connecting the Development Engine using an RS-232 interface, all
communication parameters between the imager and terminal must match for
correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scan the
RS-232 interface bar code below. This programs the Development Engine
for an RS-232 interface at 115,200 baud, paritynone, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and adds a suffix of a CR LF.
RS-232 Interface
7. Verify the engine operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual. The engine beeps once when a bar
code is successfully decoded.
To connect an 5X10/80 engine to your host system, please refer to the
Integration Manual.

Reading Techniques
The engine has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that
corresponds to the engines horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.
Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol
The aiming beam is smaller when the engine 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 unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols

(on a page or on an object), hold the engine at an appropriate distance from the
target, send a trigger command, 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 +5 to prevent unwanted reflection.

2 Getting Connected
Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant engine 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.
RS-232
The RS-232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a
PC or terminal. The following RS-232 Interface bar code also programs a
carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF) suffix, baud rate, and data format as
indicated below:

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.
7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Even
7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None
7 Data, 1 Stop, Parity Odd
7 Data, 2 Stop Parity None
* 8 Data, 1 Stop, Parity None

RS-232 Receiver Time-Out
The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS-232 Receiver Time-Out
expires. A trigger command resets the time-out. When an RS-232 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 RS-232 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).
RS-232 Receiver Time-Out
RS-232 Handshaking
RS-232 handshaking is a set of rules concerning the exchange of data between
serially communicating devices.
If using RTS/CTS handshaking, the imager issues an active RTS signal to the
receiving device. The imager waits to send its data until it detects an active CTS
signal from the receiving device. The imager then sends its data while checking
the CTS signal before the transmission of each data character. If an inactive

CTS signal is detected at any time, the imager halts transmission until it detects
another active CTS signal. When the imager has finished transmitting data, it
issues an inactive RTS signal to the receiving device. Default = RTS/CTS Off,
XON/XOFF Off, and ACK/NAK Off.
RTS/CTS On
* RTS/CTS Off
XON/XOFF On
* XON/OFF Off
ACK/NAK On
* ACK/NAK Off
TTL Level 232 Interface

The 5X80 provides a TTL level serial 232 communication link. TTL Level 232
Inverted is the normal mode that allows direct communication from the 5X80 to
a standard PC RS-232 serial port with the use of cable (part number 42206139-
04).
Non-Inverted serial TTL communication is provided to allow direct connection to
a TTL UART port, or to an RS-232 driver integrated circuit. Note that if theTTL
Level 232 Non-Inverted bar code is scanned, the 5X80 will no longer
communicate with a standard PC RS-232 port.
TTL Level 232 Inverted with Polarity Override allows direct communication from
the 5X80 to a standard PC RS-232 serial port with the use of cable (part number
42206139-04). This setting also allows you to override the polarity externally.

Note: For further information on the TTL Level 232 Interface, refer to the 5X10/
80 Integration Manual.
Default = TTL Level 232 Inverted with Polarity Override.

When set to Active Low, the LEDs turn on when the signal shifts from high to
low.

If the LED is enabled for a good read (see LED Good Read on page 4-3), the
polarity change takes effect after the next successful decode or a power cycle.
If the LED is disabled, a polarity change only takes effect after a power cycle.
Default = Active Low.
Note: LED Good Read Polarity sets the LED signal voltage level to either high
(Active Low) or low (Active High). This will affect LED-Good Read setting.
If the LED has been disabled, make sure it is not turned on accidentally
by a polarity change.

* Active Low
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. For example, if you program this option to have five beeps, there will be
five beeps and five LED flashes in response to a good read. The beeps and LED
flashes are in sync with one another. To change the number of beeps, scan the
bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the Save bar code on
the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. Default = One.
Number of Pulses

Beep Polarity
Beep Polarity sets the idle and active states of the beeper signal. When set to
Active High, the beeper sounds when the signal shifts from low to high. When
set to Active Low, the beeper sounds when the signal shifts from high to low.
If the beeper is enabled for a good read (see Beeper Good Read on page 4-1),
the polarity change takes effect after the next successful decode or a power
cycle. If the beeper is disabled, a polarity change only takes effect after a power
cycle. Default = Active Low.
Note: Beep Polarity sets the beeper signal voltage level to either high (Active
Low) or low (Active High). This will affect Beeper-Good Read settings. If
the beeper has been disabled, make sure it is not turned on accidentally
by a polarity change.

Good Read Delay
This sets the minimum amount of time before the imager can read another bar
code. Default = No 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.
User-Specified Good Read Delay
Trigger Modes
Manual/Serial Trigger
You can activate the imager either by providing an external hardware trigger, or
using a serial trigger command (see Trigger Commands on page 11-4). When
in manual trigger mode, the imager scans until a bar code is read, or until the
hardware trigger is released.

When in serial mode, the imager scans until a bar code has been read or until
the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the imager can also be set to
turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Read Time-Out, which
follows).
* Manual/Serial Trigger
Read Time-Out
Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the imagers trigger when
using serial commands to trigger the imager, or if the imager is in manual trigger
mode. 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 = 0
(infinite, or no time-out).
Read Time-Out
Manual Trigger, Low Power

Note: For RS-232 and HHLC mode only.
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 bar code below. There is a delay of up to one
second in operation when the imager is first triggered, but there is no delay when
operating in low power time-out mode.
Manual Trigger, Low Power
Low Power Time-Out Timer

Note: For RS-232 and HHLC mode only.
Scan the Low Power Time-Out bar code to change the time-out duration (in
seconds). 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. Whenever the trigger is enabled, the low power time-out timer
is reset.
Low Power Time-Out

Note: This time-out does not begin until the imager time-out setting has expired.
Snap and Ship

Snap and Ship mode allows you to bypass the decoder and ship an image
directly to the host. In this mode, an image is taken and shipped upon each
trigger pull, instead of being sent to the decoder. Snap and Ship is useful when
you are using your own decoder.
Note: Snap and Ship mode only works if the imager is connected via an RS-232
serial port or via a USB keyboard (see Plug and Play on page 2-1). If you
use Snap and Ship when the imager is connected to another interface, it
calls the decoder after each image ship, but only to look for menu codes.
Snap and Ship
Host Notify Mode

Note: For RS-232 and USB communications only.
Host Notify Mode bypasses the decoder and notifies the host that there has been
a hardware trigger pull. When in Host Notify Mode, it is up to the host to initiate
an Image Snap and/or an Image Ship command (see Imaging
Commands beginning on page 8-1). It is also up to the host to switch to another
trigger mode.
Host Notify Mode

Scan Stand 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 that follows.) When a different code
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. When a
symbol is presented, the imagers light levels adjust to the saved setting (see
Hands Free Time-Out on page 4-11).
Scan Stand Mode
Scan Stand Symbol

When a unit is in Scan Stand mode, the LEDs shine at the Scan Stand symbol
on the base of the stand which tells it to remain idle. When the Scan Stand
symbol is covered, the imager turns the LEDs on at the configured power level
(Default High) and attempts to find and decode bar codes in its field of view. The
Scan Stand Symbol is a function code 3 using Code 128 symbology.
FNC3
Scan Stand Symbol
Presentation Mode
This programs the imager to work in Presentation mode. The LEDs are either off
or at the lowest power for ambient conditions until a bar code is presented to the
imager. 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 may not work properly.
Presentation Mode

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 bar code is decoded. If you wish to turn the
LEDs off immediately after a bar code is decoded, scan the LEDs Off bar code,
below. (If you want the LEDs to remain off for a length of time after the decode,
use Presentation LED Time-Out, below.) Default = LEDs On.
* LEDs On
LEDs Off
Presentation LED Time-Out

When using Presentation LED Behavior after Decode (above), you may want to
set the time the LEDs remain off after a decode. To set the duration of this delay,
scan the bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (0 - 9,999 ms)
from the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual, then
scanning Save. Once the unit has completed this time-out, it will immediately
resume scanning.
LED Time-Out Duration
Presentation Sensitivity
Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the
imager's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the
Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0-20) from the
inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least
sensitive. Default = 1.

Hands Free Time-Out
The Scan Stand and Presentation Modes are referred to as hands free modes.
If a trigger command is sent, or the hardware 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.
Scan the Hands Free Time-Out bar code, then scan the time-out duration (from
0-300,000 milliseconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 5,000
ms.
Hands Free Time-Out
Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the imager can read the same bar code a second
time. Setting a reread delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar
code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at POS (point
of sale). Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning
is required. Default = Medium.
Reread Delay only works when in Presentation Mode (see page 4-9)).

LED Power Level

This selection allows you to adjust LED and aimer brightness. Off is used when
no illumination is needed. Low is used if low illumination is sufficient. High (the
default) is the brightest setting.
If you have an aimer delay programmed (see Aimer Delay on page 4-14), the
aimer will be at 100% power during the delay, regardless of the LED Power
Level.
Note: If you scan the Off bar code, both the aimer and illumination lights turn off,
making it difficult to scan bar codes 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 bar code below.
Off
Low (50%)
* High (100%)

Illumination Lights
If you want the illumination lights on while reading a bar code, scan the Lights
On bar code, below. However, if you want to turn just the lights off, scan the
Lights Off bar code.
Note: This setting does not affect the aimer light. The aiming light can be set
using Aimer Modes (page 4-14).
* Lights On
Lights Off
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 bar code below, then set the time-out by scanning digits (from 0 -
999,999 ms) from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 1 ms.
Imager Time-Out

Aimer Delay
The aimer delay allows a delay time for the operator to aim the imager before the
picture is taken. Use these codes to set the time between when the trigger is
activated and when the picture is taken. During the delay time, the aiming light
will appear, but the LEDs wont turn on until the delay time is over.

Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then scan Save.
Delay Duration
Aimer Modes
Interlaced In interlaced mode, the illumination and aiming timing is
automatically synchronized to the imager exposure period by the
Image Engine. The engine turns illumination on while the image is
being exposed, and it turns the aiming off at all other times. The
interlaced mode provides the lowest overall current draw and is
recommended for most applications. It also provides the brightest
aimer in most applications. The Image Engine software
automatically maintains an approximate 25% aimer duty cycle,
even when the imager exposure time is at its maximum in dark
operating environments.

Concurrent Concurrent mode is provided for backwards compatibility with the
4X00 Image Engine series, and is not recommended for most
applications. In concurrent mode, the illumination LEDs are on
continuously, while the aimer LEDs turn off during the imager
exposure period, and on while the imager is not exposing.
Concurrent mode is used to eliminate any flicker of the illumination
LEDs that may be objectionable to the user, especially when
running the engine at 12 MHz. The illumination LED current is
reduced compared to interlaced mode to limit engine peak current.
The image engine software automatically maintains an
approximate 25% aimer duty cycle, even when the imager
exposure time is at its maximum in dark operating environments.
Concurrent mode provides the brightest appearance of the

illumination LEDs of any of the imager operating modes. This
mode may be useful for applications when an operator is using the
illumination LEDs for aiming, such as in fixed mount, kiosk, or auto-
trigger applications.
Select Off if you dont want to use either aimer mode.

Concurrent
* Interlaced
Thermal Considerations
Care must be taken when designing the Image Engine into any system. Internal
heating of the Image Engine can occur in high duty cycle scanning applications
in several ways. The high visibility aimer dissipates a significant amount of
power as heat. The illumination and aiming LEDs also release heat, and are a
major contributor to thermal increases in high use or in presentation mode.
An increase in temperature around an Image Engine can cause noise levels on

the imager, degrading image quality. The thermal rise can also affect the laser
diode. In a continuous scanning or high use environment, the Image Engine
temperature can rise 15 to 20C. Under high ambient temperature conditions,
the laser diode is at risk of thermal breakdown and possible failure. The image
quality and decode performance will also degrade.

The Power Control PWM can be used to reduce the effect of the illumination
LEDs on thermal rise, however, this also reduces the intensity of the illumination.
Reducing the intensity of the illumination reduces total power used but can also
reduce the depth of field in low light environments.
Centering
Use Centering to narrow the imagers field of view to make sure the imager 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 4-14, for
the most error-free operation in applications where multiple codes are spaced
closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features, the imager can
emulate the operation of older systems, such as linear laser bar code imagers.)
In the example below, the gray area is the full imager field of view and the white
area is the centering window. Bar Code 1 will not be read, while Bar Code 2 will
be.
Bar Code 1
Bar Code 2

The default centering window is a 128x96 pixel area (640x480 default image
size) in the center of the imagers field of view. The following diagram illustrates
the default top, bottom, left, and right pixel positions, measured from the top and
the left side of the imagers field of view.

0
To
40%
Bottom Default
Center

If a bar code is not within the predefined window, it will not be decoded or output
by the imager. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the imager
only reads codes that intersect the centering window you specify using the Top,
Bottom, Left, or Right bar codes.
Scan Centering On, then scan one of the following bar codes to change the top,
bottom, left, or right of the centering window. Then scan the percent you want to
shift the centering window using digits on the inside back cover of this manual.
Scan Save. Default Centering = 40% for Top and Left, 60% for Bottom and
Right.

Decode Search Mode
There are three selectable decode (scanning) modes:
Full Omnidirectional - Searches for bar code features beginning at the center
of an image, and searches to the images limits. This mode reads all
symbologies (including OCR), in any orientation. The Full Omnidirectional
search is very thorough which may slow performance time.
Note: This search mode is the default setting for the 2D OEM Engines.
Full Omnidirectional
Quick Omnidirectional - This is an abbreviated search for bar code features

around the center region of an image. This mode quickly reads all symbologies
in any orientation. The Quick Omnidirectional mode may miss some off-center
symbols, as well as larger Data Matrix and QR Code symbols.
Quick Omnidirectional
Advanced Linear Decoding - Performs quick horizontal linear scans in a center
band of the image. This mode is not omnidirectional, but does quickly read linear
and stacked bar codes. Advanced Linear Decoding cannot read 2D, OCR, or
Postal symbols.
Note: This search mode is the default setting for the point-and-shoot PDF OEM
Engines.
Advanced Linear Decoding

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.
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the Imager 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 Imager 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, youll 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.
Note: You must hold the trigger 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-
22).
2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Chart on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want
to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that symbol-
ogy 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 num-
ber, 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
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Program-
ming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save
to save your entries.

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.
Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes,
but you want the imager to output Code 39 1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd,
as shown below.
Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.
A - Code 39
B - Code 128
C - Code 93
You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command

62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = A
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = B
FF termination string for second code

43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = C
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to
count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as part of the
length. If you use the example on page 4-20, but assume a <CR> suffix and
specific code lengths, you would use the following command line:
SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLK sequence editor start command

0012 A - Code 39 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = A
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
0013 B - Code 128 sample length (12) plus CR suffix (1) = 13
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = B
FF termination string for second code
0012 C - Code 93 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = C

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.
When its On/Not Required, the imager will attempt to get the output data to
conform to an edited sequence, but if it cannot, the imager transmits all output
data to the host device as is.
When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the
imager decodes it.

Multiple Symbols
Note: This feature does not work when the Imager is in Low Power mode.

When this programming selection is turned On, it allows you to read multiple
symbols when the trigger is activated. If you press and hold the trigger, aiming
the Imager at a series of symbols, it reads unique symbols once, beeping (if
turned on) for each read. The imager attempts to find and decode new symbols
as long as the trigger is activated. When this programming selection is turned
Off, the Imager will only read the symbol closest to the aiming beam.

* Off
No Read
With No Read turned On, the Imager notifies you if a code cannot be read. If
using a Quick*View Scan Data Window, an NR appears when a code cannot
be read. If No Read is turned Off, the NR will not appear.
On
* Off
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 6-5). The hex
code for the No Read symbol is 9C.

Print Weight
Print Weight is used to adjust the way the imager reads Matrix symbols. If a
imager will be seeing consistently heavily printed matrix symbols, then a print
weight of 6 may improve the reading performance. For consistently light printing,
a print weight of 2 may help. After scanning the Set Print Weight bar code, set
the print weight (from 1-7) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then
scanning Save. Default = 4.

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. If additional

5 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 Suffix

1-11 variable length 1-11
alpha numeric alpha numeric
characters 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.
You can add any prefix or suffix from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), page A-4, plus Code 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, instead of All Symbologies, the
symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

To Add a Prefix or Suffix:
Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 5-4).
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. 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. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), page A-4, for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.
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. 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.
Note: To add a backslash (\) as in Step 7, you must scan 5C twice once to
create the leading backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 8. 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.
Example: Add a Suffix to a specific symbology

To send a CR (carriage return)Suffix for UPC only:
Step 1. Scan Add Suffix.
Step 2. Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
Appendix A) for UPC.
Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 4. Determine the hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page
1252), page A-4, for the CR (carriage return).
Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual.
Step 6. 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. 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. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (included in
Appendix A) for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix
or suffix.
Step 3. Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart inside the back
cover of this manual or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.
Your change is automatically saved.
To Add a Carriage Return Suffix to all Symbologies

Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a carriage return suffix to all
symbologies at once. This action first clears all current suffixes, then programs
a carriage return suffix for all symbologies.

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.
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.
1 2 3 4 5
To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the
number of steps to 0. Scan the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual.

Note:Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.
User Specified Intercharacter Delay

An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds may be placed after the
transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length
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.
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value
for the ASCII character that will trigger the delay ASCII Conversion Chart (Code
Page 1252), page A-4.

6 Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction

You may use the Data Format Editor to change the imagers 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 gets outputted automatically; however
when you do a format, you must use a send command (see Send Commands
on page 6-2) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the imager. 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 Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
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 on page 6-4.
To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 6-4).
Step 2. Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. (Alternate formats allow you single shot capability to scan
one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has
been read, the imager reverts to the primary data format. See page 6-
5.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0 using the Pro-
gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. If you are pro-
gramming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the
alternate format you are programming.
Step 3. Terminal Type
Refer to Supported Terminals (page 3-1) and locate the Terminal ID
number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back

cover to program the imager for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 dig-
its). For example, scan 0 0 0 for RS-232.
Note: The wildcard for all terminal types is 099.
Step 4. Code I.D.
In 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. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data will be acceptable
for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the Program-
ming Chart inside the back cover of this manual. (Note: 50 characters is
entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number, indicating all lengths.)
Step 6. Editor Commands
Refer to Data Format Editor Commands (page 6-2). Scan the symbols
that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric char-
acters may be entered for each symbology data format.
Step 7. Scan Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this
manual to save your entries.
Other Programming Selections

Clear One Data Format
This deletes one data format for one symbology. If you are clearing the
primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of
this manual. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending
on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type and Code
I.D. (see Supported Terminals on page 3-1), and the bar code data length for
the specific data format that you want to delete. All other formats remain
unaffected.
Save from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits, saving any Data Format changes.
Discard from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual
This exits without saving any Data Format changes.

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you single shot capability to scan one bar code using a
different data format than your primary format. When data formats are
programmed (see page 6-1), you must input whether you are programming the
primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.
An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar
codes below. The imager will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with
the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Message Length Description

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 doesnt 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. length = 20
EXAMPLE: Decode only those bar codes with a count of 15 characters.
Min. length = 15 Max. length = 15
For a value other than the minimum and maximum message length defaults,
scan the bar codes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the
digit value of the message length and Save bar codes on the Programming Chart
inside the back cover of this manual. The minimum and maximum lengths and
the defaults are included with the respective symbologies.

EANUCC Emulation
The imager can automatically format the output from any EANUCC data carrier
to emulate what would be encoded in an equivalent UCC/EAN-128 or RSS and
Composite symbol. EANUCC data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13
and EAN-8, ITF-14, UCC/EAN-128, and EANUCC RSS and Composites. Data
from 2D symbols such as Aztec Code, Data Matrix, or QR Code, which encode
a leading FNC1, also invoke EANUCC emulation. If UCC/EAN-128 Emulation
is selected, the AIM Symbology Identifier is reported as ]C1. If RSS Emulation
is selected, the AIM Symbology Identifier is reported as ]e0. Any application
that accepts EANUCC data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize
one data carrier type. Default = No Emulation.

TCIF Linked Code 39 (TLC39)

This code is a composite code since it has a Code 39 linear component and a
MicroPDF417 stacked code component. All bar code readers are capable of
reading the Code 39 linear component. The MicroPDF417 component can only
be decoded if TLC39 On is selected. The linear component may be decoded as
Code 39 even if TLC39 is off.

8 Imaging Commands
Imaging Commands with their modifiers send imaging commands to the imager
on a single-use basis, and take effect for the next subsequent image capture.
Once that capture is complete, the imager reverts to its imaging default settings.
If you wish to change a default setting, you must use the serial default command
(see Imaging Default Commands on page 11-19). When the serial default
command is used, that selection becomes the new default setting for the imager.
Image Snap - IMGSNP

An image is taken whenever a trigger command is sent, or when the Image Snap
(IMGSNP) command is processed. Image Snap is the command processor for
image capture, or taking a picture.
The image snap command has many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image in memory. Modifiers always begin with numbers
and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of modifiers may be
appended to the IMGSNP command. For example, you can use the following
command to snap an image, increase the gain, and have the beeper sound once
the snap is complete:
IMGSNP2G1B
IMGSNP Modifiers
P - Imaging Style: Sets the Image Snap style.
0P Decoding Style. This is similar to the current format for decoding,
however, this processing allows a few frames to be taken until the
exposure parameters are met. Then the last frame is available for
further use.
1P Photo Style (default). This attempts to mimic a simple digital
camera, and results in a visually optimized image.
2P Manual Style. This is an advanced style, and should not normally
be used. It allows you the most freedom to set up the imager, and
has no auto-exposure.
B - Beeper: Causes a beep to sound after an image is snapped.
0B No beep (default)
1B Sounds a beep when the image is captured, notifying the user that
the imager can be moved.
E - Exposure: This allows you to set the exposure time. Units are 127
microseconds. For example, an exposure setting of 50 x .000127ms = 6.35ms
esposure time. Exposure is used in Manual Style only. (Default = 7874)
nE Range: 0 - 7874

G - Gain: This modifier boosts the signal and multiplies the pixel value. The
range is 1-8.
1G No gain (default)
2G Medium gain
4G Heavy gain
8G Maximum gain
D - Delta for Acceptance: This sets the allowable range for the white value
setting (see W - Target White Value). Delta is only available when using Photo
Style. (Default = 25)
nD Range: 0 - 255
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. LED State is not available
when using Decoding Style.
0L LEDs off (default)
1L LEDs on
T - Wait for Trigger: Waits for a hardware trigger pull before taking the image.
0T Takes image immediately (default)
1T Waits for a trigger pull, then takes the image
U - Update Tries: The maximum number of frames the imager should take to
reach the Delta for Acceptance. Update Tries is only available when using
Photo Style. (Default = 6)
nU Range: 0 - 10
W - Target White Value: Sets the target for the median grayscale value in the
captured image. For capturing close-up images of high contrast documents,
a lower setting, such as 75, is recommended. Higher settings result in longer
exposure times and brighter images, but if the setting is too high, the image
may be overexposed. Target White Value is only available when using Photo
Style. (Default = 125)
nW Range: 0 - 255
% - Target Set Point Percentage: Sets the target point for the light and dark
values in the captured image. 1 indicates that more pixels at the light end of a
range should be used, and 99 indicates that more pixels at the dark end should
be used. We do not recommend altering this setting from the default. To alter
grayscale values, Target White Value should be used. (Default = 50)
n% Range: 1 - 99
Image Ship - IMGSHP

An image is taken whenever the Image Snap (IMGSNP) command is processed.
The last image is always stored in memory. You may ship the image by using
the IMGSHP command.

The image ship command has many different modifiers that can be used to
change the look of the image output by the scanner. Modifiers affect the image
that is transmitted, but do not affect the image in memory. Modifiers always
begin with numbers and end with a letter (case insensitive). Any number of
modifiers may be appended to the IMGSHP command. For example, you can
use the following command to ship a bitmap image with gamma correction and
document image filtering:
IMGSHP8F75K26U
IMGSHP Modifiers
A - Infinity Filter: Enhances pictures taken from very long distances (greater
than 10 feet or 3 m).
0A Infinity filter off (default)
1A Infinity filter on
C - Compensation: Flattens the image to account for variations in illumination
across the image.
0C Compensation disabled (default)
1C Compensation enabled
D - Pixel Depth: Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted
image (KIM or BMP format only).
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image (default)
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image
E - Edge Sharpen: Causes the transmitted image to be convolved with an
edge sharpening filter. Entering a 23E gives the sharpest edges, but also
increases noise in the image.
0E Dont sharpen image (default)
14E Apply edge sharpen for typical image
ne Apply edge sharpen using strength n (n = 1-24)
F - File Format: Indicates the desired format for the image.
0F KIM format
1F TIFF binary
2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed
3F TIFF grayscale
4F Uncompressed binary (upper left to lower right, 1 pixel/bit, 0
padded end of line)
5F Uncompressed grayscale (upper left to lower right, bitmap format)
6F JPEG image (default)
8F BMP format (lower right to upper left, uncompressed)

H - Histogram Stretch: Increases the contrast of the transmitted image. Not
available with some image formats.
0H No stretch (default)
1H Histogram stretch
I - Invert Image: Used to rotate the image around the X or Y axis in fixed
mount applications where the imager is mounted upside down.
1IX Invert around the X axis (flips picture upside down)
1IY Invert around the Y axis (flips picture left to right)
IF - Fly Spec (Noise Reduction): Used to reduce salt and pepper noise in the
image.
0IF No fly spec noise reduction
1IF Apply fly spec noise reduction
IR - Image Rotate:
1IR Rotate image 90 degrees to the right
2IR Rotate image 180 degrees (upside down)
3IR Rotate image 90 degrees to the left
J - JPEG Image Quality: Sets the desired quality when the JPEG image
format is selected. Higher numbers result in higher quality. Smaller numbers
result in greater amounts of lossy compression, faster transmission times, and
lower quality. (Default = 50)
nJ Image is compressed as much as possible while preserving quality
factor of n (n = 0 - 100)
0J worst quality
100J best quality
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. A setting of 100 results in no
adjustment to the image. The optimal setting is 50K. (This selection should
only be used for text images.)
0K Gamma correction off (default)
60K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image
nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 1-255)

L, R, T, B, M - Image Cropping: Ship a window of the image by specifying the
left, right, top, and bottom pixel coordinates. Device columns are numbered 0
through 640 or 752, depending on the Image VGA setting (see Image VGA on
page 4-1). Device rows are numbered 0 through 480.
nL The left edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n of the
image in memory. Range: 000 - 640 when Image VGA is On, 000
- 752 when Image VGA is Off. (Default = 0)
nR The right edge of the shipped image corresponds to column n - 1
of the image in memory. Range: 000 - 640 when Image VGA is On,
000 - 752 when Image VGA is Off. (Default = all columns)
nT The top edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n of the
image in memory. Range: 000 - 480. (Default = 0)
nB The bottom edge of the shipped image corresponds to row n - 1 of
the image in memory. Range: 000 - 480. (Default = all rows)
Alternately, specify the number of pixels to cut from the outside margin of the
image; thus only the center pixels are transmitted.
nM Margin: cut n columns from the left, n + 1 columns from the right,
n rows from the top, and n + 1 rows from the bottom of the image.
Ship the remaining center pixels. Range: 1 - 238.
(Default = 0, or full image)
P - Protocol: Used for shipping an image. Protocol covers two features of the
image data being sent to the host. It addresses the protocol used to send the
data (Hmodem, which is an xmodem 1K variant that has additional header
information), and the format of the image data that is sent.
0P None (raw data)
2P None (default for USB)
3P Hmodem compressed (default for RS-232)
4P Hmodem
S - Pixel Ship: Can be used to decimate 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.
1S ship every pixel (default)
2S ship every 2nd pixel, both horizontally and vertically (default)
3S ship every 3rd pixel, both horizontally and vertically
U - Document Image Filter: Sharpens the edges and smoothes the area
between the edges of the transmitted text image. The Document Image Filter
enhances images of documents such as ID cards and prescriptions. This filter
should be used with gamma correction (see page 8-4), with the imager in a
stand, and the image captured using the command:
IMGSNP1P0L168W90%32D

This filter typically provides better JPEG compression than the standard E -
Edge Sharpen command (see page 8-6). This filter also works well when
shipping pure black and white images (1 bit per pixel). The optimal setting is
26U.
0U Document image filter off (default)
26U Apply document image filter for typical document image
nU Apply document image filter using grayscale threshold n. Use
lower numbers when the image contrast is lower. 1U will have a
similar effect to 22e. Range: 0-255.
V - Blur Image: Smoothes transitions by averaging the pixels next to the hard
edges of defined lines and shaded areas in an image.
0V Dont blur (default)
1V Blur
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. This modifier
ships the histogram for an image.
0W Dont ship histogram (default)
1W Ship histogram

Intelligent Signature Capture - IMGBOX
IMGBOX commands can only be used with PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, Aztec,
Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5 symbologies.
Intelligent signature capture ships only part of an image to the host application.
This method reduces transfer time and file size, while simplifying signature
capture.
Below is an example of an intelligent signature capture application. In this
example, the operator reads the bar code, which is then transmitted to the host
application. Upon the receipt of the bar code data, the host application sends the
IMGBOX command, which tells the scanner to output only the area of the image
corresponding to the signature capture box. The scanner also automatically
adjusts for aspect ratio and distortion, issues that arise due to scanner skew with
respect to the bar code.
Align the aimers with the signature area (not with the bar code), then activate the
trigger. Send the IMGBOX command string after the trigger command.
negative
positive
An important aspect of intelligent signature capture is that all dimensions used in

the application are measured as multiples of the minimum element size of the bar
code. Using this method, intelligent signature capture always outputs the correct
image size and resolution, no matter the distance at which the scanner is held
from the bar code, assuming that the entire signature capture area is within the
scanners field of view.
The intelligent signature capture command string for this application is:
IMGBOX40S0X70Y190W100H1R0F
IMGBOX Modifiers
D - Pixel Depth: Indicates the number of bits per pixel in the transmitted
image.
8D 8 bits per pixel, grayscale image
1D 1 bit per pixel, black and white image

F - File Format: Indicates the type of file format in which to save the image.
0F KIM format
1F TIFF binary
2F TIFF binary group 4, compressed
3F TIFF grayscale
4F Uncompressed Binary
5F Uncompressed grayscale
6F JPEG image (default)
7F Outlined image
8F BMP format
H - Height of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the height of the area
to be captured is 1 inch, resulting in a value of H = 1/0.01 = 100. The value for
H is slightly larger, to accommodate some extra image capture area outside of
the signature capture box.
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. A setting of 100 results in no
adjustment to the image. (Default = 50K)
0K Gamma correction off
50K Apply gamma correction for brightening typical document image
nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 1-255)
R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area: 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.
S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio: The ratio of the bar code height to the narrow
element width. In the example, the narrow element width is .010 inches and
the bar code height is 0.400 inches, resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.
W - Width of Signature Capture Area: In the example, the width of the area
to be captured is 1.90 inches, resulting in a value of W = 1.9/0.01 = 190. The
value for W is slightly larger, to accommodate some extra image capture area
outside of the signature capture box.
X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset: The horizontal ratio offset of the center of the
signature capture area, in multiples of the minimum bar width. In the example,
the horizontal offset is 0.
Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset: The vertical offset of the center of the signature
capture area, in multiples of the minimum bar width. Negative numbers
indicate that the signature capture is above the bar code, and positive numbers
indicate that the area is below the bar code. In the example, the horizontal
offset is 0.70 inches, resulting in a value for Y = 0.7/0.01 = 70.

9 OCR Programming
Use this section to program the Imager for optical character recognition (OCR).
The 2D OEM Engine reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface.
Note: OCR is not as secure as bar codes. To enhance security in OCR
applications, create an OCR template to match the data, and print an
OCR check character.
The 2D OEM Engine will read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S. Currency Serial Number
(Money), MICR E-13B, and SEMI fonts.
You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for
the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR" on page 9-1 for
programming codes that will enable your imager to read OCR-A, OCR-B, U.S.
Currency, MICR E-13B, or SEMI fonts. See "OCR Templates" on page 9-3 if
you want to create a custom template, or character string that defines the
length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager.
Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR
reading.
OCR Fonts
Default All OCR Settings turns off all OCR capability in the imager, so the
imager will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but
not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased.
The eight digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR On
codes listed below.
< Default All OCR Settings >
OCR
Note: OCR symbols can misread when scanned sideways or upside down. Use
Working Orientation, page 4-25, if your OCR symbols will not usually be
presented upright to the scanner.
Only one OCR symbology can be read at a time.

OCR-A On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-A font. The default setting
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 9-4).
OCR-A On
OCR-B On allows you to scan characters in the OCR-B font. The default setting
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 9-4).
OCR-B On
U.S. Currency Font

U.S. Currency On allows you to scan characters in the font used on U.S.
currency. The default setting 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 9-4).
U.S. Currency On
MICR E-13B Font

MICR E-13B On allows you to scan MICR characters on a bank check. The
default setting 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 9-4).
MICR E-13B On

Note: TOAD characters (Transit, On Us, Amount and Dash) are output in the
following manner:
the transit character is output as T
the amount character is output as A
the on us character is output as O
the dash character is output as D
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 bar codes, but not OCR fonts.
However, any OCR templates you have created will be retained in memory.
* All OCR Off
OCR Templates
You can create a custom template, or character string that defines the length
and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several
choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a
template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can
create a template for a user-defined variable. These choices are described in
detail below.

Creating an OCR Template
A single template allows you to program the imager to read any combination of
characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template
Characters table below.
Template Characters
a represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter)
c represents a check character position
d represents any digit
e represents any available OCR character
g represents character from user-defined variable g
h represents character from user-defined variable h
l represents any uppercase letter
t marks the start of a new template
r multi row indicator
All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used.
Note: In MICR E-13B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D),
represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash.
Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character.

To Add an OCR Template
1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read (page 9-2).
2. Begin building the template.
Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol (page 9-13).
3. Scan the characters for the string.
Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you
need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the
Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your
template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would
be:
dddddddd
To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter
OCR Template symbol (page 9-13), then scan the d from the OCR
Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR
Template (page 9-14). This would let you read any string of eight digits, for
example:

37680981
Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the
Programming Chart (inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that
represent these characters.
Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three
digits. The template would be:
ddd414243ddd
}
hex codes for
letters A, B, and C
OCR Template symbol (page 9-13). Scan the d from the OCR Programming
Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan 414243 from the
inside back cover (the hex characters for A, B, and C), and scan the d
three more times. Scan Save OCR Template, page 9-14. This would let you
read any string of three digits, ABC, then any string of three digits, for
example:
551ABC983
Adding Spaces
You may also need to put spaces in your template.
Example: You need to read three digits, space, three specific characters (ABC),
space, three digits. The template would be:
ddd2041424320ddd
hex code for a space
Chart in the back of this manual three times, then scan 2041424320 from the
Programming Chart on the inside back cover (the hex characters for space,
A, B, C, space). Scan the d three more times, then scan Save OCR
Template (page 9-14). This would let you read any string of three digits,
space, ABC, space, then any string of three digits. For example:
551 ABC 983

Note: If using Quick*View to program, use the space bar to designate a space
and not the hex value of 20.
4. Exit OCR Template Editor
Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template
exits without saving any OCR Template changes.

Stringing Together Multiple Formats
(Creating Or Statements)
You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this,
you would string together each format with a t. This tells the imager to read
optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template.
Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of
four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template would
be:
ddddddddtddddlldd
Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the or
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. Scan Save
OCR Template (page 9-14). This would let you read either type of format, for
example:
99028650
or
9902XZ50
You can string together as many templates as you need.
OCR User-Defined Variables

You can create up to two of your own user variables for an OCR template. These
variables will represent any OCR readable characters. The user-defined
variables are stored under the letters g and h. Creating a user variable follows
the same steps as creating a template, but instead of scanning the Enter OCR
Template symbol, you scan the Enter User-Defined Variable symbol (page 9-
13). The letters g and h can then be used in an OCR template to define the
variable you specified.
Example: You need a variable to represent the letters A, B, or C. The
template for this variable would be:
414243
User-Defined Variable g symbol (page 9-13). Scan 414243 from the
Programming Chart (the hex characters for A, B, and C). Scan Save
OCR Template (page 9-14). This will let you read either A or B or C in any
position where you place the g. For example, you could create the following
template:
ddddddggg

This template would then let you read data that began with six digits, and had
an A, B, or C trailing. So you would be able to read:
654321ABC
or
654321BAC
or
654321CCC
Reading Multi-Row OCR

The IT5X80 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:
12345678
ABCDEFGH
First, enable the OCR-A font. To read the first row of OCR data, you would
program the following template:
OCRTMP"dddddddd".
This template is the default OCR template. If you wanted to read the second
line of data, you would use the following template:
OCRTMP"llllllll".
To read both lines of OCR at one time, use the variable r to indicate the start
of a new row. All the other templating variables for the individual rows work
the same as previously described. For instance, in the above example, you
would use the following template to read both rows:
OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllll".
To read the three rows below, you would use the template command
"OCRTMP"ddddddddrllllllllrlllldddd".
12345678
ABCDEFGH
ABCD1234.

OCR Check Character
You may want to print and verify a check character in order to enhance the
security of your OCR application. The IT5X80 can be programmed for almost any
type of check character. A number of presets are provided for common check
character uses (e.g., modulo 10 and modulo 36).
Scan the OCR Modulo 10 or OCR Modulo 36 Check Character bar code to
specify the type of check character used in the OCR strings youre scanning.
The imager will then only read OCR character strings with a valid check
character. The IT5X80 transmits the OCR data without the check character data.
You must specify the location of the check character in the template with a c.
Example: You need to read any combination of seven digits, with a modulo 10
check character in the eighth position. The template would be:
dddddddc
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 OCR Programming Chart seven times, and scan the
c once. Scan Save OCR Template (page 9-14). This template will let you
read any combination of six digits with a correct check character after. (If the
check character is invalid, the imager will issue an error beep.) For example,
the following string could be scanned:
01234569
and the output would be: 0123456
OCR Modulo 10 Check Character

Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 10
checksum of the digits 0 through 9.

Scan this symbol to program the OCR template for a simple modulo 36
checksum of the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z.
OCR User-Defined Check Character

You can customize the check character calculation to suit your application. Each
character of the check character alphabet can be programmed in its proper
order. The number of characters you enter determines the modulo value for the
calculation. By default, the check character computation is unweighted, but the
imager also supports two weighted modulo 10 checking schemes.
Example: To program a modulo 11 check character, you would enter the
following 11 characters in order:
0123456789X
Also enter the OCR template:
dddddddc
Enable the OCR-A font, then scan the following string:
6512351X
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

1. Scan the Enter OCR Check Character bar code, below.
Enter OCR Check Character

2. Enter the characters in order. For each character, look up the corresponding
hex value from the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4.
Use the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual to
scan the two symbols for each hex value.
3. Scan the Save bar code on the inside back cover.
Example: To program the modulo 11 check character from example #8 on
page 9-9, enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Check
Character bar code on page 9-9, then scan the following hex values
in order:
3031323334353637383958
After you enter all the desired hex values, scan the Save bar code on the
inside back cover of this manual.
Weighting Options
By default, the check character computation is unweighted. It is possible to use
one of two weighted modulo 10 schemes. Weighting is often used to detect if
two neighboring characters are transposed, a common error when an operator
keys in data.
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 EANUCC symbologies, including U.P.C. and
Interleaved 2 of 5 (when a check digit is invoked). To apply this weighting
scheme, set the OCR check character to 0123456789x3x1 or scan the
following symbol:
3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10

Check Character
Example: Scan the 3-1-3-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also
enter the OCR template:
dddddddc
Then scan the string below:
01234565
The reader performs the check character computation below:
(0 x 3 + 1 x 1 + 2 x 3 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 3 + 5 x 1 + 6 x 3 + 5 x 1) modulo 10 = 0

2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character

Starting with the check character and working backward through the message,
the imager applies a multiplier of 1, then 2, then 1, then 2, and so on. When the
result of the multiplication is greater than 9, add both digits to the running sum.
This is often referred to as the LUHN formula. One common application of the
LUHN formula is validate credit card numbers. This is the modulo 10 checking
scheme used in MSI Code and in Code 32 Pharmaceutical (PARAF). To apply
this weighting scheme, set the OCR check character to "0123456789x2x1" or
scan the following symbol:
2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10

Check Character
Example: Scan the 2-1-2-1 Weighted Modulo 10 Check Character symbol. Also
enter the OCR template:
ddddddc
Then scan the string below:
0128454
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
=0

OCR ISBN Application Example
One application of OCR is to read the ISBN characters typically encoded using
the OCR-A or OCR-B font. This is especially useful when the ISBN number is
not encoded in an EAN-13 bar code. The following example shows how to
configure the imager to read the ISBN strings on books in Japan. After you have
followed the steps below, you will be able to scan the following ISBN number or
the additional data below it, depending on the line of text at which the imager is
aimed.
1. Scan the OCR-B On bar code on page 9-2.

2. Program the user-defined variable g to comprise the ten digits plus the
dash:
0123456789-
3. In Japan, it is common for two fields to follow the ISBN number, the three
digit price field, and the four digit price field. The first field typically starts with
a C (uppercase c), followed by four digits. The second field typically starts
with a P or a yen symbol, followed by three or four digits, followed by an
E. Program the user-defined variable h to comprise the P and the yen
symbol (represented by a backslash).
P\
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,
3.) whose last character is a check character, and
4.) when the modulo 11 check character 0123456789X is programmed.

Please note that all these commands can be combined into a single serial
programming command:
OCRENA2,TMPISBNggggggggggggctCdddd hdddEtCdddd
hddddE,GPG0123456789-,GPHP\,CHK0123456789X.
These commands can be encoded into the following Aztec Code symbol:

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.

One or more two-digit numbers and Save are required after reading this
programming symbol. Refer to the Programming Chart on the inside the back

2D PQA (Print Quality Assessment)

Two-dimensional Print Quality Assessment (2D PQA) is a feature of Hand Held
Products image readers where the data from the successful read of a 2D bar
code symbol is augmented with lines of text that both identify the symbol, and
also report graded measurement parameters obtained from it.
To see displayed results, Microsoft Notepad, a word processor/editing
program, or Quick*View (page 10-4) is recommended. For additional information
on interpreting your read results, please refer to Hand Held Products Quick
Check 2D Print Assessment Users Guide.

Visual Menu 2003
Visual Menu 2003 provides the ability to configure an imaging device by
connecting the imager to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu 2003 allows you to
download updates to a imagers firmware, change programmed parameters, and
create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Menu 2003, you can even
set up the configuration for a imager which is not attached to your PC. This
enables one expert user to establish the configuration settings for all the devices
your company uses, then save these configuration files for others. A
configuration file can be e-mailed or, if you prefer, an expert user can create a
bar code (or series of bar codes) which contains all the customized programming
parameters, and mail or fax the bar code(s) to any location. Users in other
locations can scan the bar code(s) to load in the customized parameters.
To communicate with an imager, Visual Menu 2003 requires that the PC have at
least one available serial communication port and an RS-232 cable to connect
the port to the device. A power supply, which plugs into the cable, is also
required.
Note: If you already have a copy of Visual Menu, please note that older versions
of Visual Menu will not work with the OEM Engine. You must use Visual
Menu 2003 with the OEM Engine.
Visual Menu 2003 Operations

The Visual Menu 2003 program performs the following operations:
Displays all configuration data, and saves the information to a file on

your PC.
Configures the device to meet your specific requirements. Visual
Menu 2003 has all the programming parameters which are available
via programming bar codes in this Users Guide.
Creates and prints a clone bar code that contains the program and
configuration data from one device. This bar code can then be used
to program additional devices with the same parameters.

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 OEM Engine. 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 2-1). 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:
parameter A 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 Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] [] Storage
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS-232 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
RS-232 baud rate is BAD.
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-
mands operation on the devices volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the commands operation on the devices
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 devices current value for the setting(s).
* What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de-
vices response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-
ues.)
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.
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 Indicates a good command which has been processed.
ENQ 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: Example #1: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: Example #2: 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: Example #3: What is the devices current setting for Codabar
Coding Enable?
Enter: cbrena?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK]
This response indicates that the devices Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on.
Example: Example #4: What are the devices settings for all Codabar
selections?
Enter: cbr?.
Response: CBRENA1[ACK],
SSX0[ACK],
CK20[ACK],
CCT1[ACK],
MIN2[ACK],
MAX60[ACK],
DFT[ACK].
This response indicates that the devices Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is
set to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Dont 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 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 4-7), or by sending the Manual/
Serial Menu Command (page 11-7). Once the imager 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 imager 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 4-7 for a description, and the serial command on page 11-7).
Resetting the Standard Product Defaults

If you arent sure what programming options are in your imager, or youve
changed some options and want the factory settings restored, scan the
Standard Product Default Settings bar code below.

12 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. See
"Customer Support" on page 13-1 for further information.
Maintenance
The OEM Engine provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of
care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic
checks ensure dependable imager operation:
Cleaning the Imagers Window

Reading performance may degrade if the imagers window is not clean. If the
window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isnt operating well, clean the window with
a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water
solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened
with water only.
The imagers housing may also be cleaned the same way.
! Caution:
Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use
abrasive wipes or tissues on the imagers window
abrasive wipes may scratch the window.
Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or

phenol-based agents) on the housing or window
solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the imagers interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with imager
operation. Contact your Hand Held Products distributor for information about
cable replacement.

Troubleshooting
The imager automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
imager is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to
try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the red or green aiming illumination line on?
If the red or green aiming illumination line doesnt appear, check that:
The cable is connected properly.
The host system power is on (if external power isnt used).
Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols?

If the imager isnt reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
Arent smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
Arent coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
Are enabled in the imager or in the decoder to which the imager 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 imager 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.
Does the imager read the bar code incorrectly?

If the imager reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host
screen:
The imager may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface.
For example, you scan 12345 and the host displays @es%.
Reprogram the imager with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection
bar code. See Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
The imager may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly.
For example, you scan 12345 and the host displays A12345B.
Reprogram the imager with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 7.
The imager wont read your bar code at all.

1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the imager reads
the sample bar codes, check that your bar code is readable.
Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).

2. If the imager still cant read the sample bar codes, scan "All Symbologies" on
page 7-2.
If you arent sure what programming options have been set in the imager, or if
you want the factory default settings restored, scan Standard Product Default
Settings on page 11-4.

Limited Warranty
Hand Held Products, Inc. ("Hand Held Products") warrants its products to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship and to conform to Hand Held
Products published specifications applicable to the products purchased at the
time of shipment. This warranty does not cover any Hand Held Products product
which is (i) improperly installed or used; (ii) damaged by accident or negligence,
including failure to follow the proper maintenance, service, and cleaning
schedule; or (iii) damaged as a result of (A) modification or alteration by the
purchaser or other party, (B) excessive voltage or current supplied to or drawn
from the interface connections, (C) static electricity or electro-static discharge,
(D) operation under conditions beyond the specified operating parameters, or (E)
repair or service of the product by anyone other than Hand Held Products or its
authorized representatives.

This warranty shall extend from the time of shipment for the duration published
by Hand Held Products for the product at the time of purchase ("Warranty
Period"). Any defective product must be returned (at purchasers expense)
during the Warranty Period to Hand Held Products factory or authorized service
center for inspection. No product will be accepted by Hand Held Products
without a Return Materials Authorization, which may be obtained by contacting
Hand Held Products. In the event that the product is returned to Hand Held
Products or its authorized service center within the Warranty Period and Hand
Held Products determines to its satisfaction that the product is defective due to
defects in materials or workmanship, Hand Held Products, at its sole option, will
either repair or replace the product without charge, except for return shipping to
Hand Held Products.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE

FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER COVENANTS OR
WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
HAND HELD PRODUCTS RESPONSIBILITY AND PURCHASERS

EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IN NO EVENT
SHALL HAND HELD PRODUCTS BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL ANY
LIABILITY OF HAND HELD PRODUCTS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER (WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES
FROM A CLAIM BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR
OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID TO HAND HELD
PRODUCTS FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HAND HELD
PRODUCTS MAY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
INJURIES, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR
COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
All provisions of this Limited Warranty are separate and severable, which means
that if any provision is held invalid and unenforceable, such determination shall
not affect the validity of enforceability of the other provisions hereof. Use of any
peripherals not manufactured/sold by Hand Held Products voids the warranty.
This includes but is not limited to: cables, power supplies, cradles, and docking
stations. Hand Held Products, Inc. extends these warranties only to the first end-
users of the products. These warranties are nontransferable.
The limited duration of the warranty for the OEM Engine is for one (1) year.
