Getting Started
About This Manual
This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Youjie YJ-HF600 area-imaging scanner. Product
specifications, dimensions, warranty, 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.
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 bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual.
The unit defaults to a USB PC Keyboard. Refer to page 2-2 for other USB terminal settings.

1 - 2
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.
Connecting with Keyboard Wedge
A scanner can be connected between the keyboard and PC as a “keyboard wedge,” where the scanner provides data out-
put 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 bar code from the Sample Symbols in the back of this manual. 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 bar code data.

Reading Techniques
Present the bar code to the scanner. The LEDs turn up to read the code.
Button and LED Indicator Location
Menu Bar Code Security Settings
Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want
to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Please contact the nearest techni-
cal support office (see Customer Support on page 1) for further information.
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 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 Activate 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 settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom
defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Programming the Interface
Introduction
This chapter describes how to program your system for the desired interface.
Programming the Interface - Plug and Play
Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scanner set up for commonly used interfaces.
Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the host terminal to have the interface in effect.
Keyboard Wedge
If you want your system programmed for an IBM PC AT and compatibles keyboard wedge interface with a USA keyboard, scan
the bar code below. Keyboard wedge is the default interface.
Note: The following bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix.
Laptop Direct Connect
For most laptops, scanning the Laptop Direct Connect bar code allows operation of the scanner in parallel with the integral
keyboard. The following Laptop Direct Connect bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) suffix and turns on Emulate
External Keyboard (page 2-14).
RS232 Serial Port
The RS232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a PC or terminal. The following RS232 Interface
bar code also programs a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF) suffix, baud rate, and data format as indicated below. It also
changes the trigger mode to manual.
Option Setting
Baud Rate 115,200 bps
Data Format 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit

USB IBM SurePos
Scan one of the following “Plug and Play” codes to program the scanner for an IBM SurePos (USB handheld scanner) or IBM
SurePos (USB tabletop scanner) interface.
Note: After scanning one of these codes, you must power cycle the cash register.
Each bar code above also programs the following suffixes for each symbology:
USB PC or Macintosh Keyboard
Scan one of the following codes to program the scanner for USB PC Keyboard or USB Macintosh Keyboard. Scanning these
codes also adds a CR and LF.
USB HID
Scan the following code to program the scanner for USB HID bar code scanners.
