User Manual for Honeywell Granit 1980i Industrial Area-Imaging Scanner

Quick Start Guide

This guide provides essential instructions for setting up and configuring the Honeywell Granit 1980i industrial area-imaging scanner. Always power off your computer before connecting the scanner and power it back on only after the connection is secure.

Power Supply Assembly

If your scanner kit includes a power supply, assemble it by attaching the appropriate plug adapter to the power brick. Note that the power supply may need to be ordered separately depending on your specific kit configuration.

Connecting the Scanner

Proper cable connection is critical for the scanner's operation. To connect the cable:

• Release the locking plate on the scanner base.
• Insert the cable connector firmly into the base.
• Slide the locking plate over the connector base to secure it.
• Tighten the screw to ensure the cable remains fixed in place.

Connection Types

The scanner supports different connection interfaces:

• USB Connection: Connect the USB cable directly to the computer's USB port.
• RS232 Serial Connection: Connect the scanner cable to the RS232 port. This setup requires an external power supply connected to the scanner cable.

Scanning Techniques

The Granit 1980i is designed for both near and far scanning:

• Near Scan (under 30cm / 11.8 inches): Use the red illumination and center the scanner over the barcode. The laser aimer will appear to the right of the barcode center.
• Far Scan (up to 15.2m / 50 feet): Use the laser aimer to target the center of the barcode. The red illumination may be less visible at this distance.
• Reflective Barcodes: If a barcode is coated and highly reflective, tilt the scanner slightly to change the projection angle for better readability.

Configuration Barcodes

You can configure the scanner by scanning specific barcodes provided in this manual:

• Default Settings: Scan the "Standard Product Defaults" barcode to reset the scanner.
• USB Serial: Scan this to emulate an RS232 COM port. Windows users must download the driver from the Honeywell website.
• USB PC Keyboard: Scan this to set the scanner to act as a standard USB keyboard.
• Keyboard Layouts: Scan the "Country Code Programming" barcode followed by the numeric code for your region (e.g., 1 for Belgium, 0 for USA) and the "Save" barcode.

Advanced Settings

The scanner supports advanced data formatting:

• Suffix/Prefix: You can add a Carriage Return (CR) or Tab suffix, or add a Code ID prefix to all symbologies.
• Function Codes: Enable or disable the transmission of function codes.
• Data Format Editor: Follow the specific sequence of barcodes (Data Format Input, Format Type, Terminal Type, Code ID, Length, Editor Commands, Save) to customize data output.
