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, page A-1) for the single char-
acter 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 tempo-
rary setting that will be removed when the unit is reset.  For instructions on how 
to reset your image scanner, refer to Reset Image Scanner (page 8-1).
Reset Image Scanner
Scanning this bar code causes the image scanner to re-link with the base.
Show Software Revision
Scan the bar code below to output the current software revision, unit serial num-
ber, and other product information for both the image scanner and base.

Visual Xpress
Visual Xpress Introduction 
Visual Xpress provides a wide range of PC-based programming functions that 
can be performed on an imager connected to your PCs COM port.  Visual 
Xpress allows you to download upgrades to the imagers firmware, change pro-
grammed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes.  Using 
Visual Xpress, you can even save/open the programming parameters for an 
imager.  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. 
To communicate with an imager, Visual Xpress requires that the PC have at 
least one available serial communication port, or a serial port emulation using a 
physical USB port.  If you are using the serial port and RS-232 cable, an exter-
nal power supply is required.  When using a USB serial port emulation, only a 
USB cable is required.
Visual Xpress Operations
The Visual Xpress software performs the following operations:
Scan Data
Scan Data allows you to scan bar codes and display the bar code data in a win-
dow.  Scan Data lets you send serial commands to the imager and receive 
imager 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 imager.  The 
imagers programming and configuration data is grouped into different catego-
ries.  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 cate-
gory.  The Configure tree option has all the programming and configuration 
parameters specified for an imager.  You can set or modify these parameters as 
required.  You can later write the modified settings to the imager, or save them 
to a dcf file. 
Imaging
Imaging provides all the image-related functions that a 2D Imager can perform. 
You can capture an image using the current settings, and the image will be dis-
played in an image window.  Images captured from the imager 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 imager.

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 2020.  For complete descriptions and examples of each serial pro-
gramming command, refer to the corresponding programming bar code in this 
manual.
The device must be set to an RS-232 interface (see page 1-21).  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:
parameterA label representing the actual value you should send as part of a 
command.
[
option] An optional part of a command.
{Data} Alternatives in a command.
boldNames 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
Prefix Three ASCII characters: SYN M CR  (ASCII 22,77,13).
:Name: To send information to the image scanner (with the base connect-
ed to host): :3820/3820i:  The default factory setting for a 3820/
3820i image scanner is 3820/3820i.  This setting is changed by us-
ing the BT_NAM command, which accepts alphanumeric values.  
If the name is not known, a wildcard (*) can be used :*:.
Note: Since the base stores all work group settings and transfers to them to the 
image scanner once they are linked, changes are typically done to the 
base and not to the image scanner.
Tag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 
command group.  For example, all RS-232 configuration settings 
are identified with a Tag of 232.
SubTag A 3 character case-insensitive field that identifies the desired menu 
command within the tag group.   For example, the SubTag for the 
RS-232 baud rate is BAD. 
						

							10 - 2
Data The new value for a menu setting, identified by the Tag and Sub-
Tag.
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.
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 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.)
:Name: Field Usage (Optional)
This command returns the query information from the image scanner.
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.  
SubTag Field Usage 
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 
field should not be used because it is ignored by the device.
Data Field Usage
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 
the Tag, 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 command sequence is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag 
and Data fields of the additional command are issued.  If the additional com-
mand requires a different Tag field, the command is separated from previous 
commands by a semicolon (;).
