User Guide for Honeywell Hyperion 1300g Scanner

Quick guide from the manual

This guide provides essential information for installing and programming the Honeywell Hyperion 1300g linear scanner. The device is factory-programmed for common settings, but can be customized by scanning specific barcodes found in this manual.

Installation and Connection

The scanner can be connected to a computer using various interfaces. Follow these steps for the most common setups:

• USB: Connect the interface cable to the scanner, then to the computer's USB port. The scanner will beep.
• Keyboard Wedge: Turn off the computer, disconnect the keyboard, connect the scanner cable between the keyboard and the computer, then turn the computer back on.
• RS-232 Serial Port: Connect the cable to the scanner and the computer's serial port, secure with screws, and power up the computer.

Reading Techniques

The scanner uses a bright red aiming beam. For best results, center the beam horizontally over the barcode. The optimal reading distance is approximately 5 inches (12.7 cm).

Programming the Interface

You can program the scanner for different interfaces by scanning the "Plug and Play" barcodes provided in the manual. After scanning a configuration barcode, you may need to power cycle the host terminal for the settings to take effect.

Data Editing and Formatting

The scanner allows you to add prefixes or suffixes to scanned data. You can also use the Data Format Editor to insert, move, or suppress characters in the output string to match your application's requirements.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the scanner window with a soft cloth or lens tissue dampened with water or a mild soapy solution. Do not use abrasive wipes or harsh solvents.
• Cable Replacement: The interface cable is field-replaceable. Use a paper clip to press the cable release hole on the side of the handle to disconnect the cable.

Troubleshooting

If the scanner is not functioning:

• Ensure the cable is connected properly.
• Verify the host system is powered on.
• Check if the trigger is working.
• If the scanner reads incorrectly, ensure it is programmed for the correct interface and symbology.
• If you are unsure of the current settings, you can reset the scanner to factory defaults by scanning the "Activate Defaults" barcode.
