Plug and Play
Plug and Play bar codes provide instant image scanner set up for commonly 
used interfaces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the 
interface in effect.
Keyboard Wedge Connection
If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles key-
board wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan the bar code below.  Key-
board wedge is the default interface.
Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.

Wand Emulation Plug & Play
In Wand Emulation mode, the image 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.
The 
Wand Emulation Plug & Play Code 39 Format bar code below sets the 
terminal ID to 61.  The Wand Emulation Plug & Play Same Code Format bar 
code sets...

Each bar code above also programs the following suffixes for each symbology:
* Suffixes programmed for Code 128 with IBM 4683 Port 5B, IBM 4683 Port 9B HHBCR-
1, and IBM 4683 Port 17 Interfaces
**Suffixes programmed for Code 128 with IBM 4683 Port 9 HHBCR-2 Interface
Connecting the Base with USB
A base can be connected to the USB port of a computer.  
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base and to the computer.    
Make sure the cables are secured in the wireways in the bottom of...

For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to Honeywell 
“USB Application Note,” available at www.honeywellaidc.com
Note: Without using the 9-volt external, power supply, the base only uses 
enough power from the host to operate the interface.  The image 
scanner’s battery is not charged when in this mode.  Using the 9-volt, 
external power supply allows the image scanner’s battery to be charged, 
and no power is drawn from the host.

USB HID
Scan the following code to program the 3820/3820i for USB HID bar code scan-
ners.  Scanning this code changes the terminal ID to 131.
USB Com Port Emulation
Scan the following code to program the 3820/3820i to emulate a regular RS-
232-based Com Port.  If you are using a Microsoft® Windows® PC, you will 
need to download a driver from the Honeywell website (www.honey-
wellaidc.com
).  The driver will use the next available Com Port number.  Apple® 
Macintosh computers recognize the image...

ACK/NAK Mode
Connecting the Base with Serial Wedge
The 2020 uses TTL signal levels to wedge into an RS-232 serial network.  Use 
only 2020 serial wedge cables to prevent damage to the base.  Refer to Con-
necting the Base with RS-232 Serial Porton page 2-8 to set the baud rate and 
communications protocol.
1. Turn off power to the computer.
2. Disconnect the existing serial cable from the computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the base.  Make sure the cables 
are secured in the...

5. Plug the other serial connector into the other device connection and tighten 
the two screws.
6. Plug the power supply barrel connector to the base, and plug the power 
supply into the AC source.
7. Once the base has been fully connected, power up the computer.
To set up the serial wedge terminal ID, use the serial terminal ID 050 and follow 
the instructions on page 2-1.  Make sure that all of the communication parame-
ters match on all of the connected devices.  Choosing Both sends scanned...

Terminal Interfaces
Terminal ID
If your interface is not a standard PC AT, refer to Supported Terminals on page 
2-2 through page 2-3, and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC.  Scan the 
Terminal ID bar code below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) from the Pro-
gramming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to program the image 
scanner for your terminal ID.  Scan Save to save your selection.  
For example, an IBM AT terminal has a Terminal ID of 003.  You would scan the 
Terminal ID...
