Serial Port Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. Scanning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the scanner for an RS-232 interface at 9600 baud, even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit (8 bit data), and adds a suffix of a CR LF.
RS-232 Interface 1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer. 2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner. Note: For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of terminal/computer. 2
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on the back of your computer/terminal, as shown below. Tighten the two screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Plug the power pack into a power source. 5. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the terminal/ computer.

Wand Emulation Connection

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.

Trigger Mode
Manual/Serial Trigger: You can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see "Trigger Commands" on page 124). When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released. When in serial mode, the scanner scans until a bar code has been read or until the deactivate command is sent. In serial mode, the scanner can also be set to turn itself off after a specified time has elapsed (see Serial Trigger Time Out, which follows). Default for IT3800.
Manual/Serial Trigger
3-4
Serial Trigger Time Out: Use this selection to set a time out (in quarter seconds) of the scanners trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, it must be triggered again either serially or manually. After scanning the Serial Trigger Time Out bar code, set the time out duration (from 0-1200 quarter seconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save. Default = 0 (infinite, or no time out).
Serial Trigger Time Out
Manual Trigger, Low Power: The scanner sleeps, using only 30 milliamps, until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner wakes up and operates at reduced power until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time Out bar code. There is a short delay in operation when the scanner is first triggered, but there is no delay when operating in low power mode.
Manual Trigger, Low Power Note: Manual Trigger, Low Power cannot be used with keyboard wedge applications.
Low Power Time Out: Scan the Low Power Time Out bar code to change the time out duration. Then scan the time out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover, and Save. Default = 2 minutes.
Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan Discard on the back cover, scan the Lower Power Time Out bar code, scan the correct digits, then Save again.
Low Power Time Out
Automatic Trigger: The scanner scans continuously at full power. Default for IT3900.
Automatic Trigger
3-5
Presentation Mode: The LEDs are off until a bar code is presented to the scanner. Then the LEDs turn on automatically to read the code. Presentation Mode uses normal office or store ambient light to detect the bar codes.
Presentation Mode Note: Do not use Presentation Mode with a 3800/3900PDF. Normal office or store ambient light does not provide enough illumination for the IT3800/ 3900PDF to work properly in Presentation Mode.

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
1-10 alpha numeric characters
Scanned Data
variable length
Suffix
1-10 alpha numeric 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 chart (page 4-6 ), 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.
To Add a Prefix or Suffix:

Step 1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 4-4). Step 2. Determine the 2 digit Hex value from the Symbology Chart (page 4-5) for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.
4-1
Step 3. Scan the 2 hex digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies. Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart (page 4-6) 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. 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. 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 (page 4-5) for UPC. Step 3. Scan 6, 3 from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). Step 4. Determine the hex value from the Decimal to Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart (page 4-6) for the CR (carriage return). Step 5. Scan 0, D from the Programming Chart (inside back cover). 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 (page 4-5) 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 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies. Your change is automatically saved.

Function Code Transmit

When this selection is enabled and function codes are contained within the scanned data, the scanner transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts of these function codes are provided in Section 10, Supported Interface Keys. When the scanner is in keyboard wedge mode, the scan code is converted to a key code before it is transmitted. Default = Enable.

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).
Intercharacter Delay
This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each). Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of steps, and the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.

Data Formatting
Data Format Editor Introduction

The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned. It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default settings. 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 5-2) 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. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length Specific Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length Specific Term ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length Universal Term ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length Universal Term ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length 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 defaults, scan the Default Data Format code on page 5-4.
To Add a Data Format

Step 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 5-4). 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 scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 55.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming. Step 3. Terminal Type Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2-3) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

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 5-1), 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 scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.

Secondary Interface
By switching interface cables, the IT3800/3900 scanner can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface), in addition to the host terminal (primary interface). Note: Secondary interfaces do not apply to the IT3800LX-15. The secondary interface can be programmed at any time.
Secondary Code 39 Wand Emulation

In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner. The Code 39 Format converts all symbologies to Code 39. The Same Code Format transmits UPC, EAN, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5 without any changes, but converts all other symbologies to Code 39. These codes set the transmission rate to 25 inches per second and the output polarity to black, high. Default = Code 39 Format.
* Wand Emulation Code 39 Format Wand Emulation Same Code Format Note for the 3800PDF model: When the 3800PDF interface is set to wand emulation, all PDF417 bar code data is transmitted as Code 128. Data from other symbologies follow the rules described above.
Secondary RS-232 Connection

All communication parameters between the scanner and terminal must match for correct data transfer through the serial port using RS-232 protocol. RS-232 programmable selections are used by both the primary and secondary interfaces. Changing an RS-232 parameter (e.g., baud rate or parity), while in primary or secondary mode will affect both interfaces.

Manual Trigger, Low Power: The scanner sleeps, using only 30 milliamps, until the trigger is pulled. When the trigger is pulled, the scanner wakes up and operates at normal power until there is no triggering for the time set with the Low Power Time Out bar code. Then, the scanner goes to sleep again. Low Power Time Out: Scan the Low Power Time Out bar code to change the time out duration. Then scan the time out duration (from 0-300 seconds) from the inside back cover and Save. Default = 2 minutes. Note: If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save), scan Discard on the back cover, scan the Low Power Time Out bar code, scan the correct digits, and Save again.

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.

Cloning
The cloning procedure reprograms the software in the destination scanners memory with software from the source scanner. Before using this procedure, determine which scanner will be the source (the scanner containing the desired software). The IT3800/3900 supports cloning and can act as the source device. The software in the destination scanner will be updated from the source scanner. The destination scanner device must be the same model as the source.
Procedure
1. Use the cloning cable (42204559-01) to connect the two scanners for cloning. 2. Connect the destination scanner to one of the 10 pin modular connectors on the cloning cable. 3. Connect the source scanner (containing the new or updated software) to the remaining 10 pin modular connector on the cloning cable. 4. Connect the power supply to the 4 pin mini-DIN connector located on the cloning cable or the scanner cable. 5. Make sure both units are on, and then scan the Clone Destination bar code with the destination scanner.
Clone Destination Bar Code 6. Scan the Clone Source bar code below with the source scanner. The scanners Good Read LED begins blinking periodically indicating cloning is in process.
Clone Source Bar Code 7. When cloning is complete, the destination scanner will double beep. This procedure takes approximately two minutes. 8. Disconnect the destination scanner from the cloning cable. 9. To clone another scanner, repeat steps 1 through 8. Caution: DO NOT scan the source bar code unless you are going to clone a scanner. If you mistakenly scan this bar code, reset the scanner by turning the power off and back on to regain normal operation.

Visual Menu
Visual Menu Introduction

Visual Menu provides the ability to configure a scanning device by connecting the scanner to the com port of a PC. Visual Menu allows you to download upgrades to a scanners firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes. Using Visual Menu, you can even set up the configuration for a scanner 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) that 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 a scanner, Visual Menu 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.
Visual Menu Operations

The Visual Menu 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 has all the programming parameters which are available via programming bar codes in this Users Guide. Creates and prints a clone bar code which contains the program and configuration data from one device. This bar code can then be used to program additional devices with the same parameters. Selects a device from a list, then performs offline or online file configuration for that device.
Temporary Visual Menu Configuration

For quick download communication configuration, scan the Visual Menu bar code to temporarily configure the scanner for Visual Menu settings.

To Add a Test Code I.D. Prefix to All Symbologies
This selection allows you to turn on transmission of a Code I.D. before the decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart on page 4-5 for the single character code that identifies each symbology.) This action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D. prefix for all symbologies. This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is power cycled.

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 IT3800/3900. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual. The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-8). The following commands can be sent via a PC com port using terminal emulation software.
Conventions
The following conventions are used for menu and query command descriptions: parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a command. [option] An optional part of a command. {Data} bold Alternatives in a command. 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 Tag Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13). 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. 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. The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag. A single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the commands 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. (The non-volatile table allows only a limited number of writes.)
SubTag
Data Storage
12 - 1
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 devices response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.)
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.
12 - 2
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 #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 #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 #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 #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 2 characters; the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is 60 characters; and the Default setting (DFT) has no value.
12 - 3
Trigger Commands
You can activate and deactivate the scanner with serial trigger commands. First, the scanner must be put in Manual/Serial Trigger Mode either by scanning the Manual/Serial Trigger Mode bar code (page 3-4), or by sending the Manual/ Serial Menu Command (page 12-8). Once the scanner 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 scanner scans until a bar code has been read, until the deactivate command is sent, or until the serial time out has been reached (see "Serial Trigger Time Out" on page 3-5 for a description, and the serial command on page 12-8).
Resetting the Factory Settings

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

14 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 15-1 for further information.
Maintenance
The IT3800/3900 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure dependable scanner operation:
Cleaning the Scanners Window

Reading performance may degrade if the scanners window is not clean. If the window is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isnt operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or facial tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean tissue dampened with water only. The scanners housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Caution:
Do not submerge the scanner in water. The scanners housing is not water-tight. Do not use abrasive wipers or tissues on the scanners window abrasive wipers may scratch the window. Never use solvents (alcohol or acetone) on the housing or window - solvents may damage the finish or the window.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors

Inspect the scanners interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with scanner operation. Contact your Hand Held Products distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 14-2.
14 - 1
Replacing the Interface Cable

The standard interface cable is attached to the scanner with an 10-pin modular connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the IT3800 scanners handle by a flexible retention tab. The IT3900 connector is located in the pod at the end of the IT3900 cable. The interface cable is designed to be field replaceable. Order replacement cables from Hand Held Products or from an authorized distributor. When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the original interface cable.
To Replace the Interface Cable:

1. Turn the power to the host system OFF. 2. Disconnect the scanners cable from the terminal or computer. 3. Locate the small hole on the side of the scanners handle (IT3800), or on the underside of the connector pod (IT3900). This is the cable release. 4. Straighten one end of a paper clip. 5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the small hole and press in. This depresses the retention tab, releasing the connector. Pull the connector out while maintaining pressure on the paper clip, then remove the paper clip. 6. Replace with the new cable. Insert the connector into the opening and press firmly. The connector is keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.
Cable Release
Troubleshooting
The scanner automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your scanner is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to try to isolate the problem. Is the power on? Is the red illumination beam on? If the red illumination beam isnt illuminated, check that: 1. The cable is connected properly.
14 - 2
2. The host system power is on (if external power isnt used). 3. The trigger works. Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols? If the scanner isnt reading symbols well, check that the symbols: 1. Arent smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids. 2. Arent coated with frost or water droplets on the surface. 3. Are enabled in the scanner or in the decoder to which the scanner connects. Is the bar code displayed but not entered? The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example). You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the scanner to output the bar code data plus the key you need (such as CR) to enter the data into your application. Refer to "Prefix/Suffix Overview" on page 4-1 for further information. Does the scanner read the bar code incorrectly? If the scanner reads a bar code, but the data is not displayed correctly on the host screen: 1. The scanner may not be programmed for the appropriate terminal interface. For example, you scan 12345 and the host displays @es%. Reprogram the scanner with the correct Plug and Play or Terminal selection bar code. See Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. 2. The scanner may not be programmed to output your bar code data properly. For example, you scan 12345 and the host displays A12345B. Reprogram the scanner with the proper symbology selections. See Chapter 7. The scanner wont read your bar code at all. 1. Scan the sample bar codes in the back of this manual. If the scanner 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 scanner still cant read the sample bar codes, scan "All Symbologies" on page 7-1. If you arent sure what programming options have been set in the scanner, or if you want the factory default settings restored, scan "Factory Default Settings" on page 12-4.
