Programming the Scanner
The IS4320 is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default
parameters. Defaults are noted in the following pages by double asterisks next
to the bar code labels. Modifications to the default program to match the host
system are made using bar codes contained in this manual.
1. Connect the scanner to the host system or power source. (Refer to the
Installation and User’s Guide.)
2. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM MODE bar code. (The unit will
beep three times.)
3. Scan by positioning the output window within two inches of each code.
(When you scan the first menu selection, the laser will stay on until you
scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM MODE code again. If no scanning
occurs for 30 seconds while the scanner is in program mode, the unit
will beep three times and all changes made will be lost. If this occurs,
return to Step 1.)
4. After completing the scanning of the appropriate configuration options,
scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM MODE bar code again. (The new
options will be saved and the scanner is readyfor normal operation.)

**Ability to Enter Program When this option is selected, enter
Mode After Any Scan programming by scanning the
ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM MODE bar
code after power up or during normal
scanning operation.
Enter Program Mode Only When this option is selected, the scanner
on First Scan will only enter program mode after power-
up. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAM
MODE bar code immediatelyafter the
scanner first receives power. This option
prevents the scanner from accidentally
entering program mode during normal
scanning operation.
Recall Defaults
If during programming of the scanner, there is a need to return the scanner to
the original factory settings, scan the RECALLDEFAULTS bar code. Any
settings selected during that session or any previous session will be lost.

Laser Activation Range
Short Range Activation When this option is selected, the IR
Out of the Stand sensor guarantees to activate when the
scanning window is positioned three
inches from the object.
Short Range Activation When this option is selected, the IR
In the Stand sensor guarantees to activate when an
object is presented three inches from
the scanning window.
**Long Range Activation When this option is selected, the IR
Out of the Stand sensor guarantees to activate when the
scanning window is positioned eight
inches from the object.
**Long Range Activation When this option is selected, the IR
In the Stand sensor guarantees to activate when an
object is presented eight inches from
the scanning window.

Laser Operation
**Normal Scan This option is the default setting. When the laser
activates by the IR sensor, the laser beam will emit
from the output window. It will also display a
constant, horizontal line until it senses a bar code
or until the scanner timeout elapses.
Pulsing Scan When the laser activates by the IR sensor, the laser
beam will emit from the output window. It will also
display a pulsing, horizontal line until it senses a
bar code or until the scanner timeout elapses.
Custom Scan This option is available for special applications.
Do not scan the CUSTOM SCAN bar code unless
instructed by a Metrologic representative.

Same Symbol Re-Scan
The scanner is programmed with a same symbol Short Same
timeout. For SHORT SAME SYMBOL RE-SCAN, Symbol Re-Scan
the time delay is ½ second, while the LONG SAME
SYMBOL RE-SCAN delay is 1 second. These numbers
represent the amount of time that a bar code must be out of
the scan field before it can be scanned again.

Audible Indicators for Communication Timeouts

timeout if it does not transmit its data to the
host after two seconds during communica-
tion. This is only valid in modes where some
type of hand-shaking is involved.
**No Two Second Timeout

will produ ce an audible razzberry tone

beep three times when communications time-
out.
** Beep Before Transmit When this option is selected, the scanner will
beep before each label transmits.

beep after each label transmits.

RS-232 Parameter - Baud Rate
A baud rate is a unit that measures the speed with which information transfers.
The baud rate of the scanner must equal the baud rate of the host device. The
available baud rates range from 150 to 19200.

RS-232 Parameter - Parity
Parity is an additional digit that makes the number of bits in the ASCII code
odd or even. The scanner’s parity must match the host’s parity.
**Space Parity Select this option to make the paritybit always 0.
Even Parity Select this option to make the additional paritybit
either a 0 or 1 to guarantee an even number of bits.
Mark Parity Select this option to make the paritybit always 1.
Odd Parity Select this option to make the additional paritybit
either a 0 or 1 to guarantee an odd number of bits.

RS-232 Parameter - Data Bits
RS-232 serial communication requires ASCII data to 8 Data Bits
transmit in either 7 or 8 data bits. In addition, one parity
bit will transmit. Ifnecessary, scan the appro-priate bar
code that matches your host device’s requirements.

RS-232 Parameter - Hardware Handshaking
To prevent scanned information from being lost during Enable RTS/CTS
transmission, your host device may require an RTS/
CTS signal. When RTS/CTS (Ready To Send/Clear To
Send) enables, the scanner will output an RTS signal
and wait for a CTS signal before any data transmits. The
default setting of RTS/CTS disables. If necessary, scan
the ENABLE RTS/CTS bar code. ** Disable RTS/CTS
** Character RTS/CTS When this option is selected, the scanner will
activate and deactivate its RTS signal on each
character that it transmits.
Message RTS/CTS When this option is selected, the scanner will
activate and deactivate its RTS signal on each
message that it transmits. This mode should
normally enable for Sanyo registers.

RS-232 Parameter - Software Handshaking
For control of the data transmission process, use the following parameters
instead of or in addition to the RTS/CTS hardware handshaking option.
ACK/NAK When this option is enabled,the Enable ACK/NAK
scanner will not scan again unless
after transmission of a bar code it
receives an ACK (ASCII 06H).
The scanner will retransmit the
bar code, if it receives an NAK
(ASCII 15H).
** Disable ACK/NAK
XON/XOFF When this option is enabled, the Enable XON/XOFF
scanner will stop transmission
whenever it receives an XOFF
(ASCII 13H). Transmission will
resume after it receives an XON
(ASCII 11H).
**DisableXON/XOFF

RS-232 Parameter - Intercharacter Delay
The time specified with an intercharacter delay bar code represents the interim
of time between transmission of characters. Some host systems require this
delay when receiving transmissions. If necessary, scan the appropriate bar
code.
** No Intercharacter Delay
1 Millisecond Intercharacter Delay
5 Millisecond Intercharacter Delay

RS-232 Parameter - Scanning Control (DTR Signal)
When the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) input is Enable DTR Input
enabled, the scanner will not transmit unless an
active (+12V) DTR signal is present on the scanner’s
DTR input pin. You can disable the scanner by making
DTR inactive (-12V) at the DTR input pin.
The DTR Scan Disable feature will prevent any ** Disable DTR Input
scanning when the Enable DTR input feature is chosen.
Before enabling the Enable DTR Scan Disable feature,
scan the Enable DTR Input bar code. To turn off this
feature, scan the Recall Defaults bar code.
