Imager Identification

2 IMAGETEAM™ 4200 Quick Start Guide
Reading Techniques
The imager has a view finder that projects a bright red or green aiming beam that
corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be
centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good
read.
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager 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 elements
(mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple symbols
(on a page or on an object), hold the imager at an appropriate distance from the
target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the symbol. If the code
being scanned is highly reflective (e.g., laminated), it may be necessary to tilt the
code up 15° to 18° to prevent unwanted reflection.

Connecting the Imager for USB
A imager can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer.
Note: The cable must be connected at the imager end (1) before the PC (2) end
is connected.
3. The imager beeps.
4. Scan the appropriate bar code below for the desired USB configuration.
USB Interface Selection
Note: USB Keyboard and USB HID drivers are included with Microsoft®

A imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge.” The following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the terminal/computer.
3. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer.
5. Connect the keyboard to the cable.
6. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The imager beeps.
7. Scan the keyboard wedge configuration code below.

Connecting the Imager for RS-232 Serial Port (External
Power)
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the imager.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer.
4. Connect the external power supply to the cable.
5. Power up the computer and imager.
RS-232 Serial Port
Scanning the RS-232 interface bar code, programs the imager for an RS-232
interface at 38,400 baud, parity–none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and adds a suffix of
a CR LF.

Repairs
User repairs and/or upgrades are not to be performed on this product. These
services are to be performed only by an authorized service center.
Maintenance
The IT4200 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of care.
Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks
ensure dependable imager operation:
Cleaning the Imager’s Window
Reading performance may degrade if the imager’s window is not clean. If the
window is visibly dirty, or if the imager isn’t operating well, clean the window with
a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water
solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with a clean lens tissue dampened
with water only.

The imager’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
Inspecting Cords and Connectors
Inspect the imager’s interface cable and connector for wear or other signs of
damage. A badly worn cable or damaged connector may interfere with imager
operation. Contact your Hand Held Products distributor for information about
cable replacement.
Replacing the Interface Cable
The standard interface cable is attached to the imager with an 10-pin modular
connector. When properly seated, the connector is held in the IT4200 imager’s
handle by a flexible retention tab. The interface cable is designed to be field
replaceable.
• Order replacement cables from IT4200 or from an authorized distributor.
• When ordering a replacement cable, specify the cable part number of the
original interface cable.
!Caution:
Do not submerge the imager in water. Do not use
abrasive wipes or tissues on the imager’s window –
abrasive wipes may scratch the window.
Never use solvents (e.g., acetone, benzene, ether, or
phenol-based agents) on the housing or window –
solvents may damage the finish or the window.

IMAGETEAM™ 4200 Quick Start Guide 9
To Replace the IT4200 Interface Cable:
1. Turn the power to the host system
OFF.
2. Disconnect the imager’s cable from
the terminal or computer.
3. Locate the small hole on the side of
the imager’s handle. This is the cable
release.
4. Straighten one end of a paper clip.
5. Insert the end of the paper clip into the
small hole and press in. This
depresses the retention tab, releasing
the connector. Pull the connector out
while maintaining pressure on the
paper clip, then remove the paper clip.
6. Replace with the new cable.
Insert the connector into the opening
and press firmly. The connector is
keyed to go in only one way, and will click into place.
Troubleshooting
The imager automatically performs self-tests whenever you turn it on. If your
imager is not functioning properly, review the following Troubleshooting Guide to
try to isolate the problem.
Is the power on? Is the aiming illumination line on?
If the aiming illumination line isn’t illuminated, check that:
• The cable is connected properly.
• The host system power is on (if external power isn’t used).
• The trigger works.
Is the imager having trouble reading your symbols?
If the imager isn’t reading symbols well, check that the symbols:
• Aren’t smeared, rough, scratched, or exhibiting voids.
• Aren’t coated with frost or water droplets on the surface.
• Are enabled in the imager or in the decoder to which the imager connects.
Is the bar code displayed but not entered?
The bar code is displayed on the host device correctly, but you still have to press
a key to enter it (the Enter/Return key or the Tab key, for example).

Release

10 IMAGETEAM™ 4200 Quick Start Guide
You need to program a suffix. Programming a suffix enables the imager to output
the bar code data plus the key you need (such as “CR”) to enter the data into your
application.
The imager won’t read your bar code at all.
1. Verify that your bar code symbology is enabled. You may validate this by
reading the UPC bar code below. If it reads this code, please contact Tech-
nical Support. (See "Technical Support" on page 11).
If you aren’t sure what programming options have been set in the imager, or if
you want the factory default settings restored, scan See "Resetting the Standard
Product Defaults" on page 6.
