1.1Introduction

The Hand Held Products SCANTEAM 3700 is a fixed mount CCD bar code scanner with integral decoder for easy integration into host equipment. Typical host equipment with bar code requirements satisfied by the 3700 include automated clinical chemistry analyzers, pharmaceutical label verification systems, industrial automation equipment, robotic systems, materials handling equipment, library systems, point of sale terminals and office equipment.

The 3700 features Hand Held Products’ time–proven decoding algorithms in a microprocessor–controlled bar code scanner/decoder and offers configurable operating parameters, providing you with the capability to tailor the 3700 to your present requirements and the flexibility to meet your future application requirements.

The following features are available with every SCANTEAM 3700:

•Economical, reliable, safe CCD scanning technology

•Audible indicator configurable for good read or no read

•True RS–232 data communications with RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF, ACK/NAK

•Autodiscrimination of 6 bar code symbologies

•100 scans per second (standard); other scan rates available

•Flexible scan trigger configurations

•Decoder configurable for high security

•Scan voting to ensure bar code data integrity

•Automatic read timeout

•Ease of configuration through RS–232 interface

1.2SCANTEAM 3700 Hardware Description

The SCANTEAM 3700 housing is molded ABS formed to enclose the optics platform and electronics. Standard housing width is 3.5 inches (88.9mm). The housing length is 2.9 inches (73.7mm) and the height is fixed at 1.05 inches (26.7mm).

The scanner uses red (660 nm wavelength) LED’s to illuminate the bar code label. A high resolution CCD (charge coupled device) is used as an image or reading sensor. A trigger signal can direct the 3700 to read the bar code. The trigger signal may originate from the scanner itself, from a host serial communications program, or from a hardware object sensor. The scanned code is converted to a digital signal in the scanner, then decoded and sent to the host computer or system. Scan width and focal point of the optics may be customized to the particular requirements of your application.
