Xenon™ 1500 area-imaging scanner. Product specifications, dimensions, war- ranty, and customer support information are also included. Honeywell bar code 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 bar codes in this guide.
Connecting the Device with USB The scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer. Reading Techniques The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre- sponds to the scanner’s horizontal field of view.
Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol 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 unit. Symbologies with larger bars or ele- ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
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 bar code. Set Custom Defaults Save Custom Defaults You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite the old one.
Resetting the Factory Defaults This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins . If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default set- tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults.
Programming the Interface Introduction This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.

Input/Output Settings Power Up Beeper The scanner can be programmed to beep when it’s powered up. Scan the Off bar code(s) if you don’t want a power up beep. Default = Power Up Beeper On - Scanner. Power Up Beeper Off * Power Up Beeper On Beep on BEL Character You may wish to force the scanner to beep upon a command sent from the host.
Good Read and Error Indicators Beeper – Good Read The beeper may be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Turning this option off, only turns off the beeper response to a good read indication. All error and menu beeps are still audible. Default = Beeper - Good Read On.
Beeper Pitch – Good Read The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the beep the scan- ner emits on a good read. Default = Medium. Low (1600 Hz) * Medium (2700 Hz) High (4200 Hz) Beeper Pitch – Error The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the sound the scan- ner emits when there is a bad read or error.
LED – Good Read The LED indicator can be programmed On or Off in response to a good read. Default = On. * LED - Good Read On LED - Good Read Off Number of Beeps – Good Read The number of beeps of a good read can be programmed from 1 - 9. The same number of beeps will be applied to the beeper and LED in response to a good read.
Good Read Delay This sets the minimum amount of time before the scanner can read another bar code. Default = 0 ms (No Delay). * No Delay Short Delay (500 ms) Medium Delay (1,000 ms) Long Delay (1,500 ms) User-Specified Good Read Delay If you want to set your own length for the good read delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.
Read Time-Out Use this selection to set a time-out (in milliseconds) of the scanner’s trigger when using serial commands to trigger the scanner. Once the scanner has timed out, you can activate the scanner either by pressing the trigger or using a serial trigger command.
Presentation Sensitivity Presentation Sensitivity is a numeric range that increases or decreases the scanner's reaction time to bar code presentation. To set the sensitivity, scan the Sensitivity bar code, then scan the degree of sensitivity (from 0- 20) from the inside back cover, and Save. 0 is the most sensitive setting, and 20 is the least sensitive.

Utilities 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, beginning on page A-1) for the single character code that identifies each symbology.) This action first clears all current prefixes, then programs a Code I.D.
Show Data Format Scan the bar code below to show current data format settings. DFMBK3?. Data Format Settings Test Menu When you scan the Test Menu On code, then scan a programming code in this manual, the scanner displays the content of a programming code. The pro- gramming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that program- ming code is output to the terminal.
Application Plug-Ins (Apps) Any apps that you are using can be turned off or on by scanning the following bar codes. You can enable and disable apps by scanning the On or Off bar code below. You can also scan the List Apps bar code to output a list of all your apps.
Note: EZConfig-Scanning requires .NET software. If .NET is not installed on your PC, you will be prompted to install it during the EZConfig- Scanning installation. 1. Access the Honeywell web site at www.honeywellaidc.com 2. Click on the Resources tab. Select Software.
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 pro- gram the scanner. For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro- gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this manual.
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 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.
Page 127
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.
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 bar code (page...
