About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the

4000 Series imagers. Product specifications, dimensions, warranty, and

customer support information are also included.

Hand Held Products bar code imagers are factory programmed for the most

common terminal and communications settings. If you need to change these

settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting.
