Reading Techniques
The 4800p scans bar codes and also captures
images. It can be used with or without a stand.
The 4800p’s
viewfinder projects
a green aiming
beam that should
be centered over
the bar code, but
can be positioned
in any direction for
a good read.
Hold the scanner
with the aiming beam centered over the bar code.
The 4800p beeps when it successfully reads a bar
code. Do not move the 4800p over another bar
code until it beeps. The optimum distance between
the 4800p and the object being scanned is 2 to 5
inches (5.1 - 12.7 cm). The height from the 4800p to
the stand’s tray is the proper distance.
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner is
closer to the code and larger when it is farther from
the code. Hold the scanner close to smaller bar
codes, and farther away from large bar codes to get
a proper read.
If the bar code is highly reflective (e.g., laminated),
you may need to tilt the scanner at an angle so the
bar code can be scanned.

4800p Stand
The stand holds the 4800p at a fixed distance for
capturing images or reading bar codes on security/
identification cards. The wedge insert supplied with
the stand provides the optimum angle for scanning
and capturing images in most lighting conditions.
The card should be placed on the wedge with the
bar code closest to the back of the stand.

default settings.

Keyboard Country
Scan the Program Keyboard Country bar code
below, then scan the numeric bar code(s) from
page 9, then the Save bar code to program the
keyboard for your country. As a general rule, the
following characters are not supported by the
scanner for countries other than the United States:
@ | $ # { } [ ] = / ‘ \ < > ~.

Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can
read the
same bar code a second time. Setting a
reread delay protects against accidental rereads of
the same bar code.
Suffix
If you want a carriage return after the bar code,
scan the Add CR Suffix bar code. To add a tab
after the bar code, scan the Add Tab Suffix bar
code. Otherwise, scan the Remove Suffix bar
code to remove the suffixes.

Add Code ID Prefix to all Symbologies
Scan the following bar code if you wish to add a
Code ID prefix to all symbologies at once.
Note: For a complete list of Code IDs, see the
User’s Guide for your product at our website,
www.handheld.com.
Function Code Transmit
When this selection is enabled and function codes
are contained within the scanned data, the imager
transmits the function code to the terminal. Charts
of these function codes are provided in your User’s
Guide. When the imager is in USB keyboard mode,
the scan code is converted to a key code before it is
transmitted.
