nK Apply gamma correction factor n (n = 1-255)
R - Resolution of Signature Capture Area
The resolution is the number of pixels that the scanner outputs per each minimum bar width.  The higher the value for R, 
the higher the quality of the image, but also the larger the file size.  Values begin at 1000.  The scanner automatically 
inserts a decimal point between the first and second digit.  For example, use 2500 to specify a resolution of 2.5.  Set to zero 
when using the A and B modifiers (see A - Output Image Width and B - Output Image Heighton page 9-12).
S - Bar Code Aspect Ratio
All dimensions used in IMGBOX are measured as multiples of the minimum element size of the bar code.  The bar code 
aspect ratio allows you to set the ratio of the bar code height to the narrow element width.  In the example, the narrow ele-
ment width is .010 inches and the bar code height is 0.400 inches, resulting in a value of S = 0.4/0.01 = 40.
W - Width of Signature Capture Area
The width of the signature capture area must be measured in inches divided by .01.  In the example, the width of the area 
to be captured is 2.4 inches, resulting in a value of W = 2.4/0.01 = 240.  (A value of 245 was used in the example to accom-
modate a slightly wider image area.)

X - Horizontal Bar Code Offset
The horizontal bar code offset allows you to offset the horizontal center of the signature capture area.  Positive values move 
the horizontal center to the right and negative values to the left.  Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.  
Y - Vertical Bar Code Offset
The vertical bar code offset allows you to offset the vertical center of the signature capture area.  Negative numbers indi-
cate that the signature capture is above the bar code, and positive numbers indicate that the area is below the bar code.  
Measurements are in multiples of the minimum bar width.   
RF Default Imaging Device
The scanner supports imaging command processing (IMGSHP, IMGSNP, IMGBOX) so that EZConfig-Scanning (see page 11-3) 
and other applications are able to perform imaging functions as if they were communicating directly with a scanner.  To accom-
plish this, the scanner uses a menu command called RF_DID (RF Default Imaging Device).  RF_DID is the name of the scanner 
(BT_NAM) that is to receive imaging commands.  The default for RF_DID is “*”indicating that imaging commands are to be sent 
to all associated scanners.  Change this setting to RF_DIDscanner_name to ensure that they are sent to a particular scanner.  
Refer to Pagingon page 3-7 to generate a report containing the port, work group, scanner name, and address for each scan-
ner.  Refer to Scanner Nameon page 3-18 set a unique name for each scanner.

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 Charts, 
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. prefix for all symbologies.  This is a temporary setting that will be removed when the unit is power 
cycled.
Show Decoder Revision
Scan the bar code below to output the decoder revision.
Show Scan Driver Revision
Scan the bar code below to output the scan driver revision.  The scan driver controls image capture.
Show Software Revision
Scan the bar code below to output the current software revision, unit serial number, and other product information for both the 
scanner and base.
Show Data Format
Scan the bar code below to show current 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 programming function will still occur, but in addition, the content of that programming code is output to 
the terminal.  
Note: This feature should not be used during normal scanner operation.
TotalFreedom
TotalFreedom is an open system architecture that makes it possible for you create applications that reside on your scanner.  
Decoding apps and Data Formatting  apps can be created using TotalFreedom.  For further information about TotalFreedom, go 
to our website at
 www.honeywellaidc.com.
Application Plug-Ins (Apps)
Any apps that you are using can be turned off or on by scanning the following bar codes.  Apps are stored in groups: Decoding, 
and Formatting.  You can enable and disable these groups of apps by scanning that group’s On or Off bar code below.  You can 
also scan the List Apps bar code to output a list of all your apps. 
Note: You must reset your device in order for the apps setting to take effect.

EZConfig-Scanning Introduction
EZConfig-Scanning provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that can be performed on a scanner connected 
to your PC.  EZConfig-Scanning allows you to download upgrades to the scanners firmware, change programmed parameters, 
and create and print programming bar codes.  Using EZConfig-Scanning, you can even save/open the programming parameters 
for a scanner.  This saved file can be e-mailed or, if required, you can create a single bar code that contains all the customized 
programming parameters and mail or fax that bar code to any location.  Users in other locations can scan the bar code to load in 
the customized programming. 
EZConfig-Scanning Operations
The EZConfig-Scanning software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a window.  Scan Data lets you send serial 
commands to the scanner and receive scanner response that can be seen in the Scan Data window.  The data dis-
played in the Scan Data window can either be saved in a file or printed. 
Configure
Configure displays the programming and configuration data of the scanner.  The scanners programming and configu-
ration data is grouped into different categories.  Each category is displayed as a tree item under the Configure tree 
node in the application explorer.  When one of these tree nodes is clicked, the right-hand side is loaded with the 
parameters form belonging to that particular category.  The Configure tree option has all the programming and con-
figuration parameters specified for a scanner.  You can set or modify these parameters as required.  You can later write 
the modified settings to the scanner, or save them to a dcf file. 
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Scanner can perform. You can capture an image using the 
current settings, and the image will be displayed in an image window.  Images captured from the scanner can be saved 
to files in different image formats.  You can modify the image settings and save the image settings to an INI file, which 
can be loaded later to capture new images.  Imaging also lets you preview the images continuously captured by the 
scanner. 
Installing EZConfig-Scanning from the Web
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.
3. Click on the dropdown for Select Product Number.  Click on your product number.
4. Click on the listing for EZConfig-Scanning.
5. When prompted, select Save File, and save the files to the c:\windows	emp directory.  
6. Once you have finished downloading the file, exit the web site.
7. Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\temp file.
8. Double click on the Setup.exe file.  Follow the screen prompts to install the EZConfig-Scanning program.
9. If you’ve selected the defaults during installation, you can click on Start Menu-All Programs-Honeywell-EZConfig-
Scanning.

Resetting the Factory Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve changed some options and want to restore the scan-
ner to factory default settings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate Defaults.  This resets the 
scanner to the factory default settings.
Note: If using a cordless system, scanning the Activate Defaults bar code also causes both the scanner and the base or Access 
Point to perform a reset and become unlinked.  The scanner must be placed in its base to re-establish the link before any 
setup codes are entered.  If using an Access Point, the linking bar code must be scanned.  See Cordless System 
Operationbeginning on page 3-1 for additional information.
The Menu Commands, beginning on page 12-4 list the factory default settings for each of the commands (indicated by an aster-
isk (*) on the programming pages).This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the original factory defaults.  It also disables all plugins.
