Honeywell 2020, 4820, 4820i Image Scanner Name, Multiple Image Scanner Operation

Multiple Image Scanner Operation

Note: Multiple Image Scanner Operation Mode allows you to link up to 7 image scanners to one base. You cannot join an 8th image scanner until you unlink one of the 7 image scanners or take an image scanner out of range.

To put the image scanner in multiple image scanner mode, scan the bar code below. Once you scan this bar code, the image scanner is unlinked from the base and must be placed into the base to re-link.

Image Scanner Name

You may assign a name to each image scanner you are using. When you have multiple image scanners linked to one base, you may want to name each image scanner so you will be able to control the image scanner receiving imaging commands sent from the base.

The default name for a 4820 is “4820,” and ”4820i” for a 4820i. If you have more than one image scanner linked to a base, and they all have the default names, the first image scanner linked to the base receives commands. You can change the name of an image scanner using a serial command (refer to "Image Scanner Name" on page 12-9)or using a bar code command. To change the name serially, unlink all except one of the image scanners from the base. Send “:4820:BT_NAMname.” or “:4820i:BT_NAMname.”, where name is the new image scanner name. If you wish to change the names of additional image scanners, re-link them one at a time and repeat the “:4820:BT_NAMname.” or “:4820i:BT_NAMname.” command for each image scanner.
