1.1 Introduction to the 3400
The SCANTEAM3400 Series CCD is durable and reliable,
easy to hold and easy to aim.
Available with Instant Interface decoding, the 3400 supports
a wide range of interfaces: keyboard wedge, POS terminals,
RS-232, and wand emulation. The 3400 is also capable of
Dual Interface, which lets you use
one scanner for POS
terminal and portable data terminal applications, by simply
changing cables and scanning one bar code.
The 3400 autodiscriminates 13 standard symbologies and is
bar code programmable, allowing you to change its
operating and decoding parameters to match your
application. FLASH memory is a standard feature, enabling
software upgrades to be downloaded from a PC, or cloned
from one 3400 to another.
The SCANTEAM 3400 standard product also offers low
current consumption to extend the battery life of portable
data terminals.
❖About This Manual
This operating guide and programming menu provides
installation and programming instructions for the
SCANTEAM 3400. Product specifications, connector
pinouts, a troubleshooting guide, warranty and customer
support information are also included.

1.6 Scanning Performance
The SCANTEAM 3400 Hand Held CCD Scanner provides a
high first pass scanning capability while assuring bar code
label integrity and life.
The following figures illustrate the 3400’s Scanner
Performance or depth of field. Depth of field is the range of
distances over which a scanner can accurately decode a
bar code. This distance is measured from the front of the
scanner at the exit window and is dependent on code size,
contrast, and quality.

QUICK START PROGRAMMING MENU
2.1 Introduction
Use this chapter to program the SCANTEAM 3400 Hand
Held CCD Scanner to work with your terminal/computer.
❖About “Plug and Play” Programming
With “Plug and Play” programming (Section 2.2), you
connect the 3400 and scan
only one bar code to program
the scanner (including required prefixes/suffixes).
❖About Terminal Selection Programming
With Terminal Selection programming (Section 2.3), you
program the 3400 for any supported terminal/computer.
❖Program Carriage Return (CR) Suffix
Use the single bar code in Section 2.4 to program a
carriage return suffix in the 3400.
❖To Clear Bar Code Suffix
Use the single bar code in Section 2.5 to clear bar code
suffix in the programmed 3400.
❖To Reset Factory Default Settings
Use the single bar code in Section 2.6 to reset the 3400
to factory default settings.
❖Additional Programming Options
If you need additional programming options, refer to
