Getting Started
TheIMAGETEAM™ 4600 and 4800 marka newperformance levelfor handheld
area imagers. The IT4600/4800 hand held area imagers are powered by HHP’s
AdaptusTM technology. The performance of Adaptus technology delivers
aggressive read rates and depths of field on 1D, stacked linear, and matrix
codes. This aggressiveness applies even in challenging reading environments
where low lighting conditions and poor quality might make it difficult to read bar
codes. Adaptus technology ensures your investment will continue to supply
years of use by reading any bar codes you require, now or in the future.
Designed for today’s demanding retail and commercial environments, the
IT4600 offers superior image quality, speed, durability, and the ability to read
poor quality bar codes. The IT4600 is comfortable to hold, easy to use, rugged,
and excellent for retail applications, as well as for all general scanning and
imaging applications.
The IT4800 hand held industrial area imager is the first industrial class area
imager powered by Adaptus technology. The IT4800 has a similar ergonomic
design as the IT4600, but has a more rugged housing, and is built to withstand
your toughest industrial applications.
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
IMAGETEAM 4600/4800. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and
customer support information are also included.
HHP’s bar code imagers are factory programmed for the most common terminal
and communications settings. If you need to change these settings,
programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpacking the Imager
After you open the shipping carton containing the IT4600/4800, take the
following steps:
• Check to make sure everything you ordered is present.
• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the
carrier who delivered the carton.

Connecting the Imager When Powered by Host
(Keyboard Wedge)
A imager can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard
wedge,” plugged into the serial port, or connected to a portable data terminal in
wand emulation or non decoded output mode. 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 and to the terminal/
computer.
4. Turn the terminal/computer power back on. The imager beeps.
5. Verify the imager operation by scanning a bar code from the Sample
Symbols in the back of this manual. The imager beeps once.
