User’s Guide 3

Product Overview

The Imager 8000™ 2D Reader packs a lot of performance into an

attractive, rugged, handheld device. It provides an extremely durable

and reliable product capable of operating in commercial and indus-

trial environments as well as in a typical retail application.

The Imager 8000™ 2D Handheld Reader – more advanced than a

laser or CCD (Charged-Couple Device) scanner – works on the same

principles as a digital camera. The handheld Reader system contains

a 640- x 480-pixel, two-dimensional CMOS (Complementary Metal

Oxide Semiconductor) sensor array. In conjunction with its unique

optical chamber, the Reader has very high-performance digital elec-

tronics to control exposure, image capture, symbology decoding, and

image storage.

Sensitive CMOS array and optics lower overall cost and power con-

sumption while providing reliable and accurate performance in a

variety of lighting conditions, offering a higher level of integration.

High-output illumination LEDs and Automatic Gain Control/

Automatic Exposure Control (AGC /AEC) support image capture

and symbol decoding over a wide range of lighting conditions.

4Imager 8000™ 2D Handheld Reader

Operational Overview

Advanced imaging technology, high-performance digital electronics

and powerful decoding algorithms deliver highly accurate symbol

decoding and image capture.

The Imager 8000™2D Reader features:

•The ability to read and decode traditional linear bar

codes (1D), 2D stacked, 2D matrix, postal codes, and

composite symbols.

•The ability to capture images such as signatures, labels,

and other items.

•The capability to decode poorly printed or damaged

labels.

•An Intelligent Aiming System that guides the operator to

position the Reader for fast, efficient reading of the sym-

bologies.

•Easy setup, configuration, and image viewing on the PC

using On-Screen Programming and Viewing (OSPV)

software.

Naming Conventions

It is assumed that the user has a background and familiarity with bar

code scanning.

This manual uses the following naming convention:

•Reader - In the context of this manual, Reader refers to the

Imager 8000 2D Reader product.

•Symbol - Refers to a design that represents data or infor-

mation. For example, a bar code.

•Symbology - The interpretation of symbols, following spe-

cific rules that give meaning to the symbols, e.g. using

Code 39 symbology provides specific rules for the Code

39 bar codes (symbols) used.

•Label - Written or printed information affixed to or

accompanying an item to furnish identification or infor-

mation.

•Linear Bar Code - Also referred to as a 1D bar code, applies

to the standard array of vertical lines and spaces that

make a traditional bar code.

•Two Dimensional (2D) Symbol - A machine-readable sym-

bol which must be examined both vertically and horizon-

tally to read the entire information.

2D Stacked - A series of linear bar codes stacked one

on top of the other forming a rectangular symbol that

can store about 1,800 printable ASCII characters or

1,000 binary characters per symbol. Large amounts

of data can be stored using several logically linked

symbols.

2D Matrix - A cell based two-dimensional symbol

which can store from 1 to about 2000 characters in

symbols ranging in size from .001 inch per side up to

14 inches per side.

•Postal - Symbology used by the postal department to

automatically sort and route mail. The postal codes con-

sist of evenly spaced vertical bars of different heights.

•Reduced Space Symbology (RSS) - A family of linear and 2D

stacked symbologies designed to fit into small areas.

•Composite - A family of symbologies consisting of a linear

symbol (1D) and a 2D symbol combined in a way to pro-

vide more information.

Connecting Your Reader

The Imager 8000 2D Reader requires a pre-installed 9- or 25-pin

connector interface cable and an AC/DC power adapter approved by

PSC.

To connect your Reader to your host system, refer to Figure 2 on

page 9 and follow these instructions.

1. With the host powered down, connect the interface cable to

the proper port on the host terminal.

2. Connect the power cord to the interface cable.

3. Connect the AC/DC power adapter to a functional AC

outlet.

4. Turn on the host system.

This completes the procedure for connecting the Reader to the host

system.

CAUTION

To avoid possible damage, consult your host terminal/

PC operator’s manual for instructions on powering down

the host system before connecting peripheral devices.

CAUTION

Use ONLY an AC/DC adapter approved by PSC to pre-

vent possible damage to the Reader and other equip-

ment.
