CHAPTER

1GETTING STARTED

About This ManualThis User Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Voyager 1602g scanners. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer
support information are also included.
Note: The selections in this User Guide are dependent on the Voyager 1602g model you
have purchased. PDF and 2 dimensional barcodes can only be read by model
1602g2D and cannot be read by model 1602g1D.
Honeywell barcode scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the barcodes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Unpacking Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following
steps:•

Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier
who delivered the carton.

•

Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

•

Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

Charging the Scanner Battery
The scanner’s battery must be fully charged before the first use. It can be charged
using a power supply or by connecting the USB cable to a computer. Refer to Aboutthe Battery on page 43 for further battery information.

Voyager 1602g User Guide

1

Charging with a Power Supply
Connect the mini-USB connector to the scanner. Assemble the wall plug. Attach
the plug to the USB connector, then plug into an electrical outlet, as shown below.

Charging with a PC
Charging your scanner battery through the USB port of a computer will take longer
than charging with an electrical outlet. Connect the mini-USB connector to thescanner and the USB connector to the computer, as shown below.
Note: The mini-USB connector is only used for charging the scanner. If using a scanner incorded mode, it can also be used to configure the device via EZConfig (see page 173
for further information).

Voyager 1602g User Guide

Battery Charge Indicator
When the battery is charging, the small LED at the top left of the scanner flashesorange. When the battery is fully charged, this LED is solid green. Refer to Scan
LED Sequences and Meaning (page 45) and Low Battery Indicator (page 45) forthe complete list of LED indications.

To use your scanner with a Honeywell Access Point (AP01-XXXBT), refer to HostACK Timeout, page 66 or Linking the Scanner to an Access Point, page 55.

Pairing the Scanner with Bluetooth Devices®

The scanner can be paired with Bluetooth devices such as personal computers,
laptops, tablets, and Apple® devices.
1. Scan the appropriate Bluetooth Connect barcode below to establish one-way
communication with the Voyager 1602g.

Bluetooth HID Keyboard
Connect

Bluetooth HID Japanese
Keyboard Connect

Note: If you want to use an Apple app or you are a developer creating an Apple app tocommunicate with the VG1602g, you would use SPP to establish two-way
communication to control the scanner through that application. See Pairing the
Scanner with an Apple Device Using SPP on page 5.
2. Set your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or Apple device so it searches forother Bluetooth devices. (Refer to your device’s User Guide for pairing
instructions.)
3. Once your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or Apple device has located thescanner, select the scanner name. Some personal computers, laptops, ortablets will automatically pair with the scanner. If your device automatically

Voyager 1602g User Guide3

pairs with the scanner, it displays a successful pairing message and you do notneed to continue to the next step.
4. If your personal computer, laptop, or tablet does not automatically pair with thescanner, a PIN is displayed. This PIN must be scanned within 60 seconds. You
must quickly scan Bluetooth PIN Code below, then scan the numeric barcode(s)for the PIN code from the chart below, then scan the Save barcode.

Your personal computer, laptop, tablet, or Apple device should now be paired withthe scanner.
Once the scanner battery is charged and you have paired it, you may begin scanning barcodes. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a barcode from the
Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.

Pairing the Scanner with an Apple Device Using SPP
Serial port protocol, or SPP, is used to establish two-way Bluetooth communication
with the scanner. If you want to use an Apple app or you are a developer creating an
Apple app to communicate with the VG1602, use SPP to control the scanner
through that application. This feature is only available with Apple's MFI-certified
devices. Consult Apple to determine if your device is MFI-certified. Scan the barcode below to pair the Voyager 1602g with an Apple device using SPP.

Pair with Apple Device
Using SPP

Once the Apple device is connected to the Voyager 1602g using SPP, you mustselect the app that will be used to send commands to and receive responses fromthe scanner. To disconnect the association between the scanner and the app, use
Bluetooth HID Keyboard Disconnect on page 37.

Reading Techniques
The Voyager 1602g has a large scan button just forward of a smaller, programmable button. (See Programmable Button on page 67 for further information about
the programmable button.)

Voyager 1602g User Guide

Scan
buttonPress the scan button to project an aiming beam. This beam should be centeredover the barcode, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
Linear barcodeswith aiming beam

2D Matrix symbolwith aiming beam

The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner 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 scanner. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (milsize) should be read farther from the scanner. To read single or multiple symbols(on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate distance from thetarget, press the scan button, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If thecode being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt
the code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Menu Barcode Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu barcodes or by sending
serial commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu
codes, you can use the Menu Barcode Security settings. Contact the nearest technical support office (see Technical Assistance on page xv) for further information.

Voyager 1602g User Guide

Setting Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom
defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode below before scanningthe menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence
will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have entered all the commands
you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults barcode.

barcode also causes both the scanner and the host to perform a reset and become
unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See Wireless System
Operation beginning on page 37 for additional information.
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To doso, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, anddecide you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults
barcode, then scan the Beeper Volume High menu code, and then Save Custom
Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be updated.

2PROGRAMMING THE INTERFACE

Introduction
This chapter describes how to program your scanner for different keyboards andsettings, and for an interface when using an Access Point (see Programming an
Interface for an Access Point, beginning on page 21). The VG1602g is primarily
designed as a cordless scanner. However, if you are using the VG1602g as a corded
scanner, see Programming the VG1602 Corded Interface beginning on page 35.

Keyboard Country Layout
If your interface is USB Keyboard or Keyboard Wedge through an Access Point or a
Bluetooth Keyboard, your keyboard layout default is a US keyboard. To change thislayout, refer to the chart below for your keyboard country. Scan the appropriate
barcode below to change the layout.
By default, national character replacements are used for the following characters:#$@[\]^‘{|}~See ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements on page 220 to view the character
replacements for each country.

Keyboard Style
This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used
Keyboard Conversion settings, they will override any of the following Keyboard
Style settings. Default = Regular.

16

Voyager 1602g User Guide

Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

* Regular

Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

Caps Lock

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to
U.S. keyboards).

Shift Lock

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The
software tracks and reflects if you have Caps Lock on or off. This selection can only
be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (ATkeyboards).

Automatic Caps Lock

The Autocaps via NumLock barcode should be scanned in countries (e.g.,
Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be used to toggle Caps Lock.
The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the
NumLock key to retrieve the current state of the Caps Lock.

Autocaps via NumLock

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external
keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Emulate External Keyboard

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard barcode, you must power cycle yourhost system.

Keyboard Conversion
Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase.
So if you have the following barcode: “abc569GK,” you can make the output“ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk”
by scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.
These settings override Keyboard Style selections.
Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps
Lock (page 17). Otherwise, your output may not be as expected.
Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

* Keyboard Conversion Off

Convert All Characters

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Time-Out expires. A
scan button push or serial trigger command resets the time-out. When an RS232
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 RS232 receiver timeout by scanning the barcode below, then scanning digits from the Programming
Chart, then scanning Save. The range is 0 to 300 seconds. Default = 0 seconds (notime-out - always on).

RS232 Receiver Time-Out

RS232 Handshaking
RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using
software commands from the host device. When RTS/CTS is turned Off, no data
flow control is used.
Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, andwill wait indefinitely for CTS to be asserted by the host.
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host totransmit. The host asserts CTS when it is OK for the device to transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send andwaits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on page 32) for CTS to be asserted by thehost. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer iscleared and scanning may resume. Default = RTS/CTS Off.

XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending
data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the hostsends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Datatransmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF
Off.

XON/XOFF On* XON/XOFF Off

ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK
character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications
cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more barcodes. If NAK is received, the32

the host. Pressing the scan button, scanning an Access Point linking barcode, or
pairing the scanner with a host resets the attempt count and the scanner will again
try to link.
Scan the Maximum Link Attempts barcode, then scan the number of attempts forthe setting (from 0-100) from the Programming Chart. Scan Save to save the setting. Default = 0.

Maximum Link Attempts

Note: When Auto Reconnect Mode is On, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause
the scanner to try to link until the Scanner Power Time-Out Timer setting expires.
When Auto Reconnect Mode is Off, setting Maximum Link Attempts to zero will cause
the scanner to only attempt linking one time after a scan button press.

Relink Time-Out
Relink Time-Out controls the idle time between relink attempts. An attempt to linka scanner to a host typically lasts up to 5 seconds. This is the time when the scanner is actually attempting a contact. Relink Time-Out controls the amount of time,in seconds, that elapses between the end of one connection attempt and the startof the next.
Note: The length of time for an attempt depends on the number of scanners connected toa host. An extra 7 seconds may be required when a connection is successful.
Scan the Relink Time-Out barcode, then scan the number of seconds for the setting (from 1-100) from the Programming Chart. Scan Save to save the setting.
Default = 3 seconds.

The scanner attempts to connect to the host every 15 seconds, measured from one
attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the scanner powers off.

Communication Between the Scanner and the Host
The scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication
with a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep. This indicates that the barcode has been scanned correctly.
When using an Access Point, the host also acknowledges when it has received thedata. The wireless scanner recognizes data acknowledgment (ACK) from the host.
If an Access Point cannot determine that the data has been properly sent to thehost, the scanner issues an error tone. You must then check to see if the scanned
data was received by the host.

Programming the Scanner and Host
When using the scanner and host together as a system, menu parameters andconfiguration settings are stored in the host. If the scanner is not linked to a host,configuration settings are stored in the scanner.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation
The wireless system uses a two-way Bluetooth® radio utilizing adaptive frequency
hopping (APH) to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the host.
Designed for point-to-point and multiple point-to-single-point applications, theradio operates using a license-free ISM band, which sends relatively small data
packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies.
This makes the wireless system highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments. The communication
range between the scanner and host, depending on the environment, is 33 feet(10m). See Flexible Power Management, page 50, for information about controlling this range.

System Conditions
The components of the wireless system interact in specific ways as you move ascanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, or swap scanners between two
hosts. The following information explains the wireless system operating conditions.

Scanner Is Out of Range
The wireless scanner is in communication with its host, even when it is not transmitting barcode data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the host for a
few seconds, it is out of range. If the scanner is out of range and you scan a barcode, the scanner issues an error tone indicating that there was no communication
with the host. Refer to Out-of-Range Alarm, page 47 and Auto Reconnect
Mode, page 39.

Scanner Is Moved Back Into Range
The scanner relinks if the scanner or the host have been reset, or the scannercomes back into range. If the scanner relinks, you will hear a single chirp when therelinking process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete. Refer to Out-ofRange Alarm on page 47 and Auto Reconnect Mode, page 39 for further information.

Out of Range and Back into Range with Batch Mode On
Note: See Batch Mode, beginning on page 58, for further information.
The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols;
others may vary) when it is out of range and then send them to the host when backin range.

42

Voyager 1602g User Guide

You will not hear a communication error tone in this mode, but you will hear a shortbuzz when you press the scan button if the radio communication is not working.
Once the radio connection is made, the scanner produces a series of beeps while
the data is being transferred to the host.

Multiple Scanner Operation
Note: Multiple Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 6 scanners to one Access
Point. You cannot join an 7th scanner until you unlink one of the 6 scanners or take ascanner out of range.
To put the scanner in multiple scanner mode, scan the barcode below. Once you
scan this barcode, the scanner is unlinked from the current host and must be
paired with a host to relink.

Multiple Scanner Operation

Scanner Name
You may assign a name to each scanner you are using for identification purposes.
For example, you may want to have a unique identifier for a scanner that is receiving specific commands sent from the host.
The default name is in the format “ScannerName_Model_SN_XXXXXXXXXX” If you
have more than one scanner linked to a host and they all have the same name, thefirst scanner linked to the host receives commands. When renaming a series ofscanners with identical names, unlink all except one of the scanners from the host.
Perform the rename operation using either the barcodes on page 52, or by sending
the serial command :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. where ScannerName is thecurrent name of the scanner, and NewName is the new name for the scanner. If you
wish to change the names of additional scanners, link them one at a time andrepeat the :ScannerName:BT_NAMNewName. command for each scanner.

Voyager 1602g User Guide

Your wireless system can have up to 6 scanners linked to one host. You can also
have up to 6 work groups. If you want to have all of the scanners’ settings programmed alike, you don’t need to use more than one work group. If you want eachscanner to have unique settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter),then you may program each scanner to its own unique work group and may program each scanner independently. For example, you might want to have multiple
work groups in a retail/warehouse application where you need to have different
data appended to barcodes used in the warehouse area versus the retail area. You
could assign all the scanners in the retail area to one work group and those in thewarehouse to another. Consequently, any desired changes to either the retail or
warehouse area would apply to all scanners in that particular work group. Honeywell’s online configuration tool, EZConfig for Scanning (page 172), makes it easy
for you to program your system for use with multiple scanners and multiple workgroups.
The scanner keeps a copy of the menu settings it is using. Whenever the scanner isconnected or reconnected to a host, the scanner is updated with the latest settingsfrom the host for its work group The scanner also receives menu setting changes
processed by the host. If a scanner is removed from a host and linked to anotherhost, it will be updated with the new host settings for whatever work group to whichthat the scanner was previously assigned. For example, if the scanner was in workgroup 1 linked to the first host, it will be placed in work group 1 in the second hostwith the associated settings.

Application Work Group Selection
This programming selection allows you to assign a scanner to a work group by
scanning the barcode below. You may then program the settings (e.g., beeper volume, prefix/suffix, data formatter) that your application requires. Default = Group 0.

Batch Mode
Batch mode is used to store barcode data when a scanner is out of range of its
host, or when performing inventory. The scanner may store a number of symbols(approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range andthen send them to the host when back in range or when the records are manuallytransmitted.
Note: Batch mode has limitations when using multiple scanners with one Access Point.
When a wireless system is being used in "multiple link mode," where up to 6 scanners
are connected to one Access Point, some accumulated or batched scans could be lost
if scanners are constantly moved in and out of range.
Automatic Batch Mode stores barcode data when the scanner is out of range ofthe host or Access Point. The data is automatically transmitted to the host or
Access Point once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner’s buffer space isfull, any barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan barcodes
again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the host or Access Point sodata can be transmitted.
Inventory Batch Mode stores barcode data, whether or not you are in range of thehost or Access Point. To transmit the stored data to the host or Access Point, scan
Transmit Inventory Records (page 63). When the scanner’s buffer space is full, any
barcodes scanned generate an error tone. In order to scan barcodes again, thedata must be transmitted to the host or Access Point. Once the data is transmitted,
it is cleared in the scanner.
Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once thedata is transmitted to the host or Access Point, it is retained in the scanner. If you
want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. In order to clear
the scanner’s buffer, you must scan Clear All Codes (see page 63).

Batch Mode Storage
When a scanner is storing data during a Batch Mode process, you can selectwhether the data is stored in Flash memory or in RAM.
Flash Storage: The scanner writes any untransmitted data to flash memory prior to
powering down. The data will still be there when the scanner powers back up. However, the scanner will power down, even with untransmitted data, if it reaches a
power down timeout or if the battery power is very low.
RAM Storage: The scanner will not power down while it contains data that has notbeen transmitted to the host or Access Point, even if it reaches a power down timeout. However, if the scanner runs out of battery power, it will power down and thedata will be lost.

Batch Mode Quantity
When in Batch Mode, you may wish to transmit the number of multiple barcodes
scanned, rather than a single barcode multiple times. For example, if you scan
three barcodes called XYZ with Batch Mode Quantity Off, when you transmit yourdata it will appear as XYZ three times. Using Batch Mode Quantity On and the
Quantity Codes (page 61), you could output your data as “XYZ, 00003” instead.
Note: If you wish to format your output, for example, place a CR or tab between the barcode
data and the quantity, refer to Data Editing beginning on page 93.
Default = Batch Mode Quantity Off.

* Batch Mode Quantity Off

Batch Mode Quantity On

Enter Quantities
Quantity Codes (page 61) allow you to enter a quantity for the last item scanned,
up to 9999 (default = 1). Quantity digits are shifted from right to left, so if a 5th digit
is scanned, the 1st digit scanned is discarded and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th digits are
moved to the left to accommodate the new digit.
For example, if the Quantity 5 barcode is scanned after the quantity has been set to1234, then the 1 is dropped, the quantity will be 2345.
Example: Add a quantity of 5 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's barcode.
2. Scan the quantity 5 barcode.
Example: Add a quantity of 1,500 for the last item scanned.
1. Scan the item's barcode.
2. Scan the quantity 1 barcode.
3. Scan the quantity 5 barcode.
4. Scan the quantity 0 barcode.

Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal validate incoming barcode data
(database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner whether or not toproceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this acknowledgment after eachscan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide valuable feedback to the scan
operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via a number of predefined
escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it behave in different ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:

64•

The scanner must be paired with a Honeywell Access Point (AP01-010BT or
AP01-100BT).

•

The wireless system must be configured for Host Port RS232 (terminal ID = 000)or USB COM Emulation (terminal ID = 130).

•

RTS/CTS is defaulted off. You must enable it if the host system requires it.

•

Host ACK must be set to On (page 65).

•

A comma must be used as a terminator.

The host terminal software must be capable of interpreting the barcode data,
make decisions based on the data content, and send out appropriate escapecommands to the scanner.

Voyager 1602g User Guide

Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via “Application Work Groups.”
Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command.
Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own groupin Host ACK mode.
The commands to which the scanner responds are listed on page 66. The [ESC] is a
1B in hex. A typical command string is y [ESC] x, where “y” is the application workgroup number, “[ESC] x” is the escape command, and the comma is the terminator,
which is required. (When “y” is not specified, the command is sent to the default
Application Work Group 0.)
Example: Commands may be strung together to create custom response sequences. An
example of a command string is listed below.
0[ESC]4,[ESC]5,[ESC]6,
The above example will make a scanner that is in application work group zero beep
low, then medium, then high.
Example: A good read beep is required for any item on file, but a razz or error tone is required
if the item is not on file. In this case,[ESC]7, is sent to the host for an on-file product[ESC]8,[ESC]8, is sent to the host for a not-on-file product
When a barcode is scanned, the scanner enters a timeout period until either thehost ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).
Once Host ACK is enabled, the system works as follows when a barcode is scanned:•

The scanner reads the code and sends data to the host system. No audible orvisual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The
scanner read illumination goes out when there’s a successful read.

•

Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received fromthe host system or 2) the scanner times out.

•

Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again,
and the process repeats.

A timeout occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within
the timeout period. A timeout is indicated by an error tone. If a timeout occurs, theoperator should check the host system to understand why a response to the scanner was not received.

Centering
Use Centering to narrow the scanner’s field of view to make sure that when thescanner is hand-held, it reads only those barcodes 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 80 for the most error-free operation in applications where multiple
codes are spaced closely together. Using the Aimer Delay and Centering features,the scanner can emulate the operation of older system, such as linear laser barcode scanners.)
If a barcode is not touched by a predefined window, it will not be decoded or output
by the scanner. If centering is turned on by scanning Centering On, the scanner
only reads codes that pass through the centering window you specify using the
Top of Centering Window, Bottom of Centering Window, Left, and Right of Centering Window barcodes.

Voyager 1602g User Guide81

In the example below, the white box is the centering window. The centering window
has been set to 20% left, 30% right, 8% top, and 25% bottom. Since Barcode 1
passes through the centering window, it will be read. Barcode 2 does not passthrough the centering window, so it will not be read.

Preferred Symbology
The scanner can be programmed to specify one symbology as a higher priority overother symbologies in situations where both barcode symbologies appear on thesame label, but the lower priority symbology cannot be disabled.
For example, you may be using the scanner in a retail setting to read U.P.C. symbols, but have occasional need to read a code on a drivers license. Since somelicenses have a Code 39 symbol as well as the PDF417 symbol, you can use Preferred Symbology to specify that the PDF417 symbol be read instead of the Code39.
Preferred Symbology classifies each symbology as high priority, low priority, or as
an unspecified type. When a low priority symbology is presented, the scanner
ignores it for a set period of time (see Preferred Symbology Time-out on page 84)
while it searches for the high priority symbology. If a high priority symbology islocated during this period, then that data is read immediately.
If the time-out period expires before a high priority symbology is read, the scanner
will read any barcode in its view (low priority or unspecified). If there is no barcodein the scanner’s view after the time-out period expires, then no data is reported.
Note: A low priority symbol must be centered on the aiming pattern to be read.
Scan a barcode below to enable or disable Preferred Symbology. Default = Preferred
Symbology Off.

This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application
requires, regardless of the order in which the barcodes are scanned. Reading theDefault Sequence symbol programs the scanner 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, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code
length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumericsymbols (inside back cover) to read these options. You must hold the scan button
while reading each barcode in the sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence
1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 88).
2. Code I.D.

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 number,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 216, find the Hex valuethat represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming

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), beginning on page 216, 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.

Voyager 1602g User Guide

93•

When setting up for specific symbologies (as opposed to all symbologies), thespecific symbology ID value counts as an added prefix or suffix character.

•

The maximum size of a prefix or suffix configuration is 200 characters, which
includes header information.

Step 1.

Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix symbol (page 95).

Step 2.

Determine the 2 digit hex value from the Symbology Charts (beginningon page 213) 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, beginning on page
225, or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

To add the Code I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 0.
To add the AIM I.D., scan 5, C, 8, 1.
To add the serial number, scan 5, C, 8, 8.
To add a backslash (\), scan 5, C, 5, C.
Note: When adding a backslash (\), you must scan 5C twice – once to create the leading
backslash and then to create the backslash itself.
Step 4.

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every prefix or suffix character.

Step 5.

Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Repeat the steps above to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

Example: Add a Tab Suffix to All Symbologies
Step 1.

Scan Add Suffix.

Step 2.

Scan 9, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 225 to apply
this suffix to all symbologies.

Step 3.

Scan 0, 9 from the Programming Chart, beginning on page 225. This
corresponds with the hex value for a horizontal tab, shown in the ASCII
Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 216.

Step 4.

Scan Save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Clear One or All Prefixes or Suffixes
You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology.
If you have been entering prefixes and suffixes for single symbologies, you can use
Clear One Prefix (Suffix) to delete a specific character from a symbology. When
you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or suffixes for a symbology aredeleted.

94

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
the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 213) for the symbology fromwhich you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

Voyager 1602g User GuideStep 3.

Scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart, beginning on
page 225 or scan 9, 9 for all symbologies.

Your change is automatically saved.

Add a Carriage Return Suffix to All Symbologies
Scan the following barcode 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.

Function Code Transmit
By default, all ASCII control characters are transmitted with barcode data. These
non-printable characters are translated into predefined key strokes, or CTRL+X
functions (see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 216).
If these key strokes interfere with your host’s software application, scan Disable tokeep these ASCII control characters from being transmitted. Default = Enable.

* Enable

DisableNote: You can also use a custom data format (see Data Format beginning on page 99) totranslate these characters into a more meaningful output.

Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission ofdata, increasing data integrity.

Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may beplaced between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan theIntercharacter Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5ms delays from theProgramming Chart, beginning on page 225, then Save.

6DATA FORMAT

Data Format Editor Introduction
You may use the Data Format Editor to change the scanner’s output. For example,
you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in barcode data as it is scanned. The selections in the following pages are used only if
you wish to alter the output. Default Data Format setting = None.
Normally, when you scan a barcode, it is output automatically. However, when you
create a format, you must use a “send” command (see Send Commands on page102) within the format program to output data.
Multiple formats may be programmed into the scanner. They are stacked in theorder in which they are entered. However, the following list presents the order inwhich formats are applied:
1. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
2. Specific Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
3. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
4. Specific Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
5. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Actual Length
6. Universal Terminal ID, Actual Code ID, Universal Length
7. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Actual Length
8. Universal Terminal ID, Universal Code ID, Universal Length
The maximum size of a data format configuration is 2000 bytes, which includes
header information.
If a barcode is read that fails the first data format, the next data format, if there isone, will be used on the barcode data. If there is no other data format, the raw data
is output.

Voyager 1602g User Guide99

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and returnto the factory defaults, scan the Default Data Format code below.

Step 1.

Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (page 101).

Step 2.

Select Primary/Alternate Format
Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate
formats. This allows you to save a total of 4 different data formats. To
program your primary format, scan 0 from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 225. If you are programming an alternate format,
scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on which alternate format you areprogramming. (See Primary/Alternate Data Formats on page 117 forfurther information.)

Step 3.

Terminal Type
Refer to Terminal ID Table (page 102) and locate the Terminal ID number
for your PC. Scan three numeric barcodes from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 225, to program the scanner for your terminal ID (youmust enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an AT wedge.

Note: 099 indicates all terminal types.
Step 4.

Code I.D.
In the Symbology Charts, beginning on page 213, find the symbology towhich you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for thatsymbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 225.
If you wish to create a data format for all symbologies, with the exceptionof some specific symbologies, refer to B8 (page 115).
If you are creating a data format for Batch Mode Quantity, use 35 for the
Code I.D.

Command string: E402300DF10D
E4 is the “Replace characters” command
02 is the total count of characters to be replaced, plus the replacement characters(0 is replaced by CR, so total characters = 2)
30 is the hex value for 0
0D is the hex value for a CR (the character that will replace the 0)
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
The data is output as:
1234
5678
ABC
<CR>

Stop replacing characters
E5 Terminates character replacement. Syntax = E5.

Compare characters
FE Compare the character in the current cursor position to the character “xx.” Ifcharacters are equal, move the cursor forward one position. Syntax = FExx where xx
stands for the comparison character’s hex value for its ASCII code.
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 216 fordecimal, hex and character codes.

Compare string
B2 Compare the string in the input message to the string “s.” If the strings are equal,
move the cursor forward past the end of the string. Syntax = B2nnnnS where nnnn
is the string length (up to 9999), and S consists of the ASCII hex value of eachcharacter in the match string. For example, B2000454657374 will compare thestring at the current cursor position with the 4 character string “Test.”
Refer to the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 216 fordecimal, hex and character codes.

Check for a number
EC Check to make sure there is an ASCII number at the current cursor position. The
format is aborted if the character is not numeric.

Voyager 1602g User Guide113

EC Example: Only output the data if the barcode begins with a number
If you want only data from barcodes that begin with a number, you can use EC tocheck for the number.
Command string: ECF10DEC is the “Check for a number” command
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
If this barcode is read,the next data format, if there is one, will

be used on the data. If there is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is
output as AB1234.
If this barcode is read:the data is output as:

1234AB<CR>

Check for non-numeric character
ED Check to make sure there is a non-numeric ASCII character at the current cursor
position. The format is aborted if the character is numeric.
ED Example: Only output the data if the barcode begins with a letter
If you want only data from barcodes that begin with a letter, you can use ED tocheck for the letter.
Command string: EDF10D
ED is the “Check for a non-numeric character” command
F1 is the “Send all characters” command
0D is the hex value for a CR
If this barcode is read,the next data format, if there is one, will be

used on this data. If there is no other format, the format fails and the raw data is
output as 1234AB.
If this barcode is read:the data is output as:

AB1234<CR>

Insert a delay
EF Inserts a delay of up to 49,995 milliseconds (in multiples of 5), starting from thecurrent cursor position. Syntax = EFnnnn where nnnn stands for the delay in 5ms
increments, up to 9999. This command can only be used with keyboard emulation.

Discard Data
B8 Discards types of data. For example, you may want to discard Code 128 barcodesthat begin with the letter A. In step 4 (page 100), select 6A (for Code 128), and in step
5, select 9999 (for all lengths). Enter FE41B8 to compare and discard Code 128
barcodes that begin with the letter A. Syntax = B8.
Note: The B8 command must be entered after all other commands.
The Data Format must be Required (see page 115) in order for the B8 command towork.
If Data Format is On, but Not Required (page 116), barcode data that meets the B8format is scanned and output as usual.
Because the data format needs to be On and Required (page 116) for the B8command, you must input data formats for all barcodes you wish to discard as well as
all barcodes you wish to output.
Other data format settings impact the B8 command. If Data Format Non-Match Error
Tone is On (page 116), the scanner emits an error tone. If Data format Non-Match
Error Tone is Off, the code is disabled for reading and no tone is sounded.

Data Formatter
When Data Formatter is turned Off, the barcode data is output to the host as read,including prefixes and suffixes.

Data Formatter Off

You may wish to require the data to conform to a data format you have created andsaved. The following settings can be applied to your data format:•

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Keep Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format, and prefixes andsuffixes are transmitted.

•

Data Formatter On, Not Required, Drop Prefix/Suffix
Scanned data is modified according to your data format. If a data format isfound for a particular symbol, those prefixes and suffixes are not transmitted. If
a data format is not found for that symbol, the prefixes and suffixes aretransmitted.

Data Format Non-Match Error Tone
When a barcode is encountered that doesn’t match your required data format, thescanner normally generates an error tone. However, you may want to continue
scanning barcodes without hearing the error tone. If you scan the Data Format
Non-Match Error Tone Off barcode, data that doesn’t conform to your data format
is not transmitted, and no error tone will sound. If you wish to hear the error tone
when a non-matching barcode is found, scan the Data Format Non-Match Error

Primary/Alternate Data Formats
You can save up to four data formats, and switch between these formats. Your primary data format is saved under 0. Your other three formats are saved under 1, 2,
and 3. To set your device to use one of these formats, scan one of the barcodes
below.

Primary Data Format

Data Format 1

Data Format 2

Data Format 3

Single Scan Data Format Change
You can also switch between data formats for a single scan. The next barcode isscanned using an alternate data format, then reverts to the format you haveselected above (either Primary, 1, 2, or 3).
For example, you may have set your device to the data format you saved as Data
Format 3. You can switch to Data Format 1 for a single trigger pull by scanning theSingle Scan-Data Format 1 barcode below. The next barcode that is scanned uses
Data Format 1, then reverts back to Data Format 3.

For best scanner performance, you should only enable the symbologies that you
need. Scan All Symbologies Off to disable all symbologies, then enable the symbologies you need by scanning the On barcode for each symbology.

All Symbologies Off

Message Length Description
You are able to set the valid reading length of some of the barcode symbologies.
You may wish to set the same value for minimum and maximum length to force thescanner to read fixed length barcode data. This helps reduce the chances of a misread.
Example: Decode only those barcodes with a count of 9-20 characters.
Min. length = 09
Max. length = 20
Example: Decode only those barcodes 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 barcodes included in the explanation of the symbology, then scan the digit
value of the message length and Save barcodes from the Programming Chart,
beginning on page 225. The minimum and maximum lengths and the defaults areincluded with the respective symbologies.

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig for Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions
that can be performed on the scanner connected to your PC. EZConfig for Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanner’s firmware, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming barcodes. Using
EZConfig for Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters.
This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single barcode that
contains all the customized programming parameters and mail or fax that barcode
to any location. Users in other locations can scan the barcode to load in the customized programming.

Configure with EZConfig for Scanning
Use the EZConfig for Scanning tool to configure your scanner online:

Voyager 1602g User Guide173

1. Access the Honeywell Technical Support Downloads Portal at honeywell.com/
PSSsoftware-downloads.
2. Go to Software > Barcode Scanners > Software > Tools and Utilities >EZConfig for Scanning > Current.

3. Download the Setup version of EZConfig for Scanning.
4. Open EZConfig to configure your scanner.

CHAPTER9SERIAL PROGRAMMINGCOMMANDS

The serial programming commands can be used in place of the programming barcodes. Both the serial commands and the programming barcodes will program thescanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial programming
command, refer to the corresponding programming barcode in this manual.
The device must be set to an RS232 interface (see page 21). 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 acommand.

[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 [:Name:] Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
PrefixThree ASCII characters: SYN M CR (ASCII 22,77,13).

:Name:

This command is only used with wireless devices. It is used to specify
whether you’re communicating with the host or the scanner. To send
information to the scanner (connected to host), use :Voyager: The
default factory setting for a Voyager scanner is Voyager scanner. This

Voyager 1602g User Guide

177

setting is changed by using the BT_NAM command, which accepts
alphanumeric values. If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can beused :*
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to scanner once
they are linked, changes are typically done to the base and not to the scanner.
Tag

A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command group. For example, all RS232 configuration settings are
identified with a Tag of 232.

SubTagA 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu
command within the tag group. For example, the SubTag for the
RS232 baud rate is BAD.

Data

The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and SubTag.

StorageA single character that specifies the storage table to which the command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the command’s
operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table. A period(.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s non-volatilemenu configuration table. Use the non-volatile table only for semipermanent 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 PAP sub command.

Note: When using the >, all other commands will return NAK.

?

What is the device’s current value for the setting(s).

*What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The device’s
response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of values. A
pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous values.):Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the scanner.

Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set ofcommands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage fieldof the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be usedbecause they are ignored by the device.

178

Voyager 1602g User Guide

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 fieldshould not be used because it is ignored by the device.

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 theTag, 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 commandsequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of theadditional 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 <06>

Indicates a good command which has been processed.

ENQ <15>

Indicates an invalid Tag or SubTag command.

NAK <05>

Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of
the allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., anentry 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 statuscharacter 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: What is the range of possible values for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:

cbrena*.

Response:

CBRENA0-1[ACK]Voyager 1602g User Guide

179

This response indicates that Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) has a range of values from 0 to 1 (off and on).
Example: 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: What is the device’s current setting for Codabar Coding Enable?
Enter:

cbrena?.

Response:

CBRENA1[ACK]This response indicates that the device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set
to 1, or on.
Example: What are the device’s 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 device’s Codabar Coding Enable (CBRENA) is set
to 1, or on;
the Start/Stop Character (SSX) is set to 0, or Don’t 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 scanner with serial trigger commands. First,
the scanner must be put in Manual Trigger Mode by scanning a Manual Trigger
Mode barcode (page 74), or by sending a serial menu command for triggering(page 75). Once the scanner is in serial trigger mode, the trigger is activated anddeactivated by sending the following commands:

180

Activate:

SYN T CR

Deactivate:

SYN U CR

Voyager 1602g User Guide

The scanner scans until a barcode has been read, until the deactivate command issent, or until the serial time-out has been reached (see Read Time-Out on page 75
for a description, and the serial command on page 191).

Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate
Custom Defaults barcode below. This resets the scanner to the custom default
settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory
default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom
defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Activate Custom Defaults

Note: The Custom Defaults settings apply to all work groups. Scanning the Activate
Custom Defaults barcode also causes both the scanner and the host to perform arestart and become unlinked. You must relink (pair) the scanner to the host. See
Wireless System Operation for additional information.
The charts on the following pages list the factory default settings for each of thecommands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).

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 Customer Support on
page xv.

MaintenanceYour device provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable operation:

Clean the Scanner
The scanner housing and scanner window may be cleaned with a soft cloth
dampened with water or a mild detergent-water solution. If a mild detergent
solution is used, wipe the scanner with a clean cloth dampened only with water toremove any detergent residue.
Note: Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window
is visibly dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window.
Caution: Do not submerge the scanner in cleaning solution. Do not use
abrasive wipes or cloths on the scanner’s window. Abrasive
wipes may scratch the window. Never use solvents (e.g.,acetone) on the housing or window. Solvents may damage thefinish or the window.
Caution: Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the scanner withcharging accessories or other peripheral devices. Mating wet
components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Voyager 1602g User Guide

209

Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the 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 distributor for information about cable replacement. Cable replacement instructions are on page 210.

Replacing a Battery

210

Step 1.

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the back cover of the scanner.

Step 2.

Lift the back cover up and out to expose the battery.

Voyager 1602g User GuideStep 3.

Lift out the battery and replace, making sure the contacts on the batteryline up with the contacts in the scanner.

Step 4.

Replace the back cover and secure with the Phillips head screw.

Troubleshooting
Note: Make sure that your scanner’s battery is charged.
Visit the Services and Support section of our website (sps.honeywell.com) to checkfor the latest software for both the scanner and the host.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:•

Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.

•

Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.

•

Are enabled in the host to which the scanner connects.

Is the barcode displayed but not entered into the application?
The barcode 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 barcode data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data
into your application. Refer to Prefix/Suffix Overview on page 93 for further
information.

The scanner won’t read your barcode at all.
•Scan the sample barcodes in the back of this manual. If the scanner reads the
sample barcodes, check that your barcode is readable.

Verify that your barcode symbology is enabled (see Chapter 7).
If the scanner still can’t read the sample barcodes, scan All Symbologies on page120.

ISO 2022/ISO 646 Character Replacements
Code pages define the mapping of character codes to characters. If the data
received does not display with the proper characters, it may be because the barcode being scanned was created using a code page that is different from the one
the host program is expecting. If this is the case, select the code page with which
the barcodes were created. The data characters should then appear properly.
