This guide provides essential instructions for setting up and configuring the Honeywell Voyager XP 1472g cordless area-imaging scanner. For detailed cleaning instructions or advanced settings, please refer to the full user guide available at www.honeywellaidc.com.
Getting Started
Before connecting the base, ensure the computer's power is turned off. Once the base is fully connected, power up the computer. Place the scanner in the base to establish a link. A flashing green LED on the base indicates that the scanner's battery is charging.
Power Supply Assembly
If a power supply is included, assemble it as shown in the diagram. Note that the power supply must be ordered separately if it is not included in your package.

Connecting the Scanner
The scanner supports various connection types. Ensure the correct cable is used for your specific interface:




- USB Connection: Connects directly to the computer's USB port.
- Keyboard Wedge Connection: Connects via the keyboard port.
- RS232 Serial Port Connection: Connects via the serial port.
- RS485 Connection: Connects via the RS485 interface.
Reading Techniques
The scanner projects an aiming dot to assist with scanning. Center the dot over the barcode. The dot size changes based on distance: hold the scanner closer for smaller barcodes and farther away for larger ones. If the barcode is reflective (e.g., laminated), tilt the scanner at an angle. A single beep confirms a successful link; a "razzing" sound indicates the link has not been established.
Configuration and Settings
The scanner can be configured using specific barcodes provided in this guide:
- Standard Product Defaults: Resets all settings to factory defaults.
- Interface Selection: Includes barcodes for RS485, USB Serial, and USB PC Keyboard.
- Keyboard Country: Scan the appropriate country code to set the keyboard layout.
- Trigger Modes: Switch between Manual Trigger (default) and Presentation Mode.
- Suffixes: Add a carriage return (CR) or tab after the barcode, or remove suffixes.
Advanced Configuration
For advanced data formatting, use the provided "Enter Data Format" barcode and follow the steps outlined in the guide. Additional features can be accessed using the EZConfig-Scanning software tool available on the Honeywell website.
