    The IT3800 uses a USB converter to simulate a USB keyboard. Data flows into applications as if entered from the keyboard. The USB converter is compatible with Apple I–MAC Series and WindowsR 98 and later PCs. Use cable set 42206062–01 to make the USB port connection. To set up the USB communications, find the terminal ID in the Supported Terminal Chart and follow the instructions on page 2–2.
  • Page 15 IMAGETEAM 3800 scanners are factory programmed for a keyboard wedge interface to an IBM PC AT with a USA keyboard. If this is your interface and you do not need to modify the settings, skip to Section 3 – Output. If you have a different terminal and/or you want to make any keyboard wedge changes, scan the bar code below.

  • Page 27 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.

Default = Black High. * Black High White High The idle describes the state of the scanner when no data is being transmitted. When in Wand Emulation mode, you must set the scanner’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the scanner is connected.
  • Page 30 Note: The following Wand Emulation functions are for use with the 3800PDF-12 scanner only. This transmits the PDF417 data in smaller blocks to prevent buffer overflow. Default = 60. * 60 2–16 IMAGETEAM 3800 User’s Guide...

The check character is the character which when Exclusive-ORed with every preceding character of the message yields a result of 0x00 (00H).
  • Page 32 This provides a “wake up” pulse on the sync line from the scanner to a portable terminal. This feature extends battery life of the portable terminal by waking up the terminal only when data is ready to be sent. Bar code data follows the wake up pulse after a 0.2 second delay.
  • Page 33: Scan Rate

    Adjusting the scan rate changes the current draw when scanning. The slower the scan rate, the lower the current draw. (The standby current remains the same.) Default = 270 s/s. Note: The chart below applies to the -12 models only. Scan Speed Standby Scanning...
  • Page 34 Default = Normal. * Normal Beep Short Bip This sets the number of times the same bar code has to be read before it is transmitted to the terminal. Normal uses the default values listed for the symbologies in the Default Charts in Section 10. High doubles the votes used below the threshold.
  • Page 35 This sets the time period before the scanner 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.
  • Page 36 Default = Manual Trigger Manual Trigger: You must press the scanner trigger to scan. When not scanning, idle power is maintained. * Manual Trigger Manual Trigger, Low Power: The scanner “sleeps,” using only 5 microamps, 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.
  • Page 37 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.

  • Page 42: Supported Interface Keys

    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.
  • Page 43: Intercharacter Delay

    Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of data, which increases data integrity. Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each).
  • Page 44 This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. You can program up to 99 steps (of 5 ms each) to follow the character you specify. Scan the Delay Length bar code below, then the number of steps for the delay, and the SAVE bar code from the inside back cover.

Default = Data Formatter On. * Data Formatter On, but Not Required Data Formatter Off When Data Formatter is required, all input data must conform to an edited format or the scanner does not transmit the input data to the host device.
  • Page 52: 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.
  • Page 53: Secondary Interface

    By switching interface cables, the IT3800 scanner can communicate with a portable data terminal (secondary interface), in addition to the host terminal (primary interface). The secondary interface can be programmed at any time. In Wand Emulation mode, the scanner decodes the bar code then sends data in the same format as a wand scanner.
  • Page 54 Use this selection when connecting to a secondary terminal with integral decoding. This also sets the transmission rate to 36 scans per second and the polarity to white high. Non Decoded Output The Transmission Rate is limited by the terminal’s ability to receive data without dropping characters.

When in Non Decoded mode, you must set the scanner’s idle state to match the idle state for the device to which the scanner is connected.
