FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class B
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-
tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for
help.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the fol-
lowing booklet helpful: “Something About Interference.” This is available at
FCC local regional offices. Honeywell is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized modifications of this equip-
ment or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment
other than those specified by Honeywell. The correction is the responsibil-
ity of the user.
Use only shielded data cables with this system. This unit has been tested
with cables less than 3 meters. Cables greater than 3 meters may not meet

Getting Started
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the
Xenon™ 1500 area-imaging scanner. Product specifications, dimensions, war-
ranty, and customer support information are also included.
Honeywell bar code 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 bar codes in this guide.
An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
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.

1 - 2
Connecting the Device with USB
The scanner can be connected to the USB port of a computer. Connect
the appropriate interface cable to the device first, then to the computer.
Reading Techniques
The scanner has a view finder that projects a bright red aiming beam that corre-
sponds to the scanner’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.

1 - 3
The aiming beam is smaller when the scanner 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 ele-
ments (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. To read single or multiple
symbols (on a page or on an object), hold the scanner at an appropriate dis-
tance from the target, pull the trigger, and center the aiming beam on the sym-
bol. 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.
Setting 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 bar code below before
scannning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command
requires scanning numeric codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that
Linear bar code 2D Matrix symbol

1 - 4
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 bar code.
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 bar code, 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.
Resetting the Custom Defaults
If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Acti-
vate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is the recommended default bar
code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If
there are no custom defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default set-
tings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom defaults
will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

1 - 5
Resetting the Factory Defaults
If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your scanner, or you’ve
changed some options and want to restore the scanner to factory default set-
tings, first scan the Remove Custom Defaults bar code, then scan Activate
Defaults. This resets the scanner to the factory default settings.
The Menu Commands, beginning on page 9-5 list the factory default settings for
each of the commands (indicated by an asterisk (*) on the programming pages).
This selection erases all your settings and resets the scanner to the
original factory defaults. It also disables all plugins
.
