CHAPTER 1 - GET STARTED
About This Manual
This User Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the HH1800 corded
area-imaging scanner. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and customer support
information are also included.
Honeywell barcode scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and
communications settings. If you need to change these settings, programming is accomplished
by scanning the barcodes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
Unpack Your Device
After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps:
•Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who
delivered the carton.
•Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
•Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.
Connect the Device
Connect with USB
A scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer.

Connect with RS232 Serial Port
1. Turn off power to the terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the scanner.
Note:
For the scanner to work properly, you must have the correct cable for your type of
terminal/computer.

Reading Techniques
The HH1800 scanners have a view finder that projects a bright red dot aiming beam that
corresponds to the scanner’s center of field of view. The aiming beam should be centered
over the barcode for a good read.
Linear Barcodes
2D Matrix Symbol
Menu Barcode Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu barcodes or by sending serial
commands to the scanner. If you want to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use
the Menu Barcode Security settings. Contact the nearest technical support office (see
Technical Assistance on page xvii) for further information.
Set Custom Defaults
You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do
so, scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode below before scanning the menu commands for
your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric codes from the
Programming Chart, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom
defaults. When you have entered all the commands you want to save for your custom
defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults barcode.
Set Custom Defaults
Save Custom Defaults
Note:
You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just
scan the new setting to overwrite the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the
setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide you want the beeper
volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults barcode, then scan the Beeper Volume
High menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain,
but the beeper volume setting will be updated.
Reset the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom
Defaults barcode below. This is the recommended default barcode for most users. It resets

4 HH1800 User Guide
the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom defaults, it will reset the
