Getting Started
The IMAGETEAM™ (IT) 3900 is a fixed mount bar code scanner designed for
retail kiosks, manufacturing WIP tracking, document processing, or other OEM
applications. It is a complete decoded output scanner that is easy to integrate.
It communicates with PCs or host terminals via keyboard wedge or a serial RS-
232 interface. The IT3900 can be used internally or externally. The housing
provides protection from dust, dirt, and electrostatic discharge.
HHP’s bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common termi-
nal and communications settings. If you need to change these settings, pro-
gramming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

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.) Scan speeds are 270 s/s, 135 s/s, and 67 s/s. A scan speed of 270
draws the highest power and has the best performance. A scan speed of 135
has a medium draw with medium performance. A scan speed of 67 draws the
lowest power and has the lowest performance. Default = 270 s/s.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a

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 13-
4). 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
Serial Trigger Time Out: Use this selection to set a time out (in quarter
seconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the
scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, it must be triggered again either
serially (see "Manual/Serial Trigger: You can activate the scanner either by
pressing the trigger, or using a serial trigger command (see "Trigger
Commands" on page 13-4). When in manual trigger mode, the scanner scans
3-4
until a bar code is read, or until the trigger is released." on page 3-4), 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).
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 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.
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.
Automatic Trigger: The scanner scans continuously at full power. Default for
IT3900.

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:
4-1
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.
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.
4-2
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.

Message Length
The message length selection is used to set the valid reading length of the bar
code. If the data length of the scanned bar code doesn’t match the valid reading
length, the scanner will issue an error beep. You may wish to set the same value
for minimum and maximum length to force the scanner 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,

Code 39 Append
This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 39 bar
codes together before transmitting them to the host computer. When this
function is enabled, the scanner stores those Code 39 bar codes that start with
a space (excluding the start and stop symbols), and does not immediately
transmit the data. The scanner stores the data in the order in which the bar
codes are read, deleting the first space from each. The scanner transmits the
appended data when it reads a Code 39 bar code that starts with a character
other than a space. Default = Off.

Cloning
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.
6. Scan the Clone Source bar code below with the source scanner. The
scanner’s “Good Read” LED begins blinking periodically indicating cloning is
in process.
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.
8-1
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
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.
• 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 User’s 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.

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:
parameter A label representing the actual value you should send as part of a
command.
Prefix Tag SubTag {Data} [, SubTag {Data}] [; Tag SubTag {Data}] […] Storage
13 - 1
Storage A single character that specifies the storage table to which the
command is applied. An exclamation point (!) performs the com-
mand’s operation on the device’s volatile menu configuration table.
A period (.) performs the command’s operation on the device’s
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.)
Query Commands
Several special characters can be used to query the device about its settings.
* What is the range of possible values for the setting(s). (The de-
vice’s response uses a dash (-) to indicate a continuous range of
values. A pipe (|) separates items in a list of non-continuous val-
ues.)
Tag Field Usage
When a query is used in place of a Tag field, the query applies to the entire set
of commands available for the particular storage table indicated by the Storage
field of the command. In this case, the SubTag and Data fields should not be
used because they are ignored by the device.
13 - 2
Responses
The device responds to serial commands with one of three responses:
NAK Indicates the command was good, but the Data field entry was out of the
allowable range for this Tag and SubTag combination, e.g., an entry for a
minimum message length of 100 when the field will only accept 2
characters.
When responding, the device echoes back the command sequence with the
status character inserted directly before each of the punctuation marks (the
period, exclamation point, comma, or semicolon) in the command.
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 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.
13 - 3
Example #4: 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 2 characters;
the Maximum Message Length (MAX) is 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/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 13-8). 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 com-
mand 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 13-
8).

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 scanner’s
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.
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.
15 - 2
1. The cable is connected properly.
2. The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
3. The trigger works.
Is the scanner having trouble reading your symbols?
If the scanner isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
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.”
