GETTING STARTED
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Vuquest™ 3320 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.
Note: This User Guide includes commands and defaults that are affected by the software
revision on your scanner. For more information about determining the software
revision on your scanner, see About Software Revisions on page 6.
Unpacking 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.

Connecting the Device
Connecting 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.
2. The scanner beeps.
3. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols,
beginning on page 220.
The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 9 for other USB terminal
settings.
For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to “USB
Application Note,” available at sps.honeywell.com.

Connecting with Keyboard Wedge
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,”
where the scanner provides data output that is similar to keyboard entries. The
following is an example of a keyboard wedge connection:
1. Turn Off power and disconnect the keyboard cable from the back of the
terminal/computer.
2. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the device and to the terminal/
computer.
3. Turn the terminal/computer power back On. The scanner beeps.
4. Verify the scanner operation by scanning a barcode from the Sample Symbols,
beginning on page 220. The scanner beeps once.
The unit defaults to an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface with
a USA keyboard. A carriage return (CR) suffix is added to barcode data.

Connecting 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.
3. Plug the serial connector into the serial port on your computer. Tighten the two
screws to secure the connector to the port.
4. Once the scanner has been fully connected, power up the computer.
This interface programs 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
Note: Please note, the end of the cable with the ferrite plugs into the scanner. The end of the
cable with the label “DO NOT connect this end to the barcode scanner” plugs into the
computer.
