Honeywell 2020, 4820, 4820i Reading Techniques

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit. The cordless image scanner recognizes data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base unit. If it cannot be determined that the data has been properly sent to the base, the image scanner issues an error indication. You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

1) Good Read

3)Base sends data to host

2) ACK from base

Reading Techniques

The image scanner has a view finder that projects a bright green aiming beam that corresponds to the image scanner’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code, but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.
