Quick guide from the manual

The Honeywell Voyager XP 147X series includes the 1470g (corded) and 1472g (cordless) area-imaging scanners. Before initial use, ensure the device is properly connected to your host system. For cordless models, charge the battery for a minimum of 4 hours. Programming is performed by scanning specific barcodes found in this guide.

Getting Started

Upon unpacking, check for shipping damage and verify all items match your order. Save the shipping container for future storage. The scanner is factory-programmed for common settings; if changes are required, use the programming barcodes provided in this manual.

Connecting the Device

The scanner can be connected via USB, Keyboard Wedge, RS232 Serial Port, or RS485. Ensure the correct interface cable is used for your specific terminal or computer. For cordless models, secure cables in the wireways of the base and ensure it sits on a flat surface.

Programming the Interface

Plug and Play barcodes allow for instant configuration of common interfaces. If you need to change settings, such as keyboard country layout, baud rate, or data format, scan the corresponding barcodes in the manual. An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.

Cordless System Operation

Cordless systems require linking the scanner to a charge base or Access Point. If the scanner is out of range, it may store data in Batch Mode (if enabled). The system supports multiple scanner operation (up to 3 scanners per base). The battery is integrated into the handle; replace only with Honeywell model BAT-SCN01.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Clean the scanner housing and window with a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents or abrasive materials. If the scanner is not functioning, check cable connections, host power, and ensure the correct symbologies are enabled. For cordless systems, verify the battery is charged and the unit is linked to the base.

Common problems

Scanner not reading symbols

Check that the symbols are not smeared, scratched, or coated with moisture. Verify that the specific barcode symbology is enabled in the scanner settings.

Barcode displayed but not entered into application

You likely need to program a suffix (such as a Carriage Return or Tab) to trigger the 'Enter' function in your application.

Red LED on base is illuminated

This indicates an error. Check that the power cable is connected properly and that the host system is powered on.

Scanner out of range alarm

Move the scanner closer to the base or Access Point. If the alarm persists, check the link status.
