SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Technical Manual
1.2 SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Hardware Description
The SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge housing is molded ABS formed to enclose the optics
platform and electronics. 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
CCD (charge coupled device) is used as an image or reading sensor. The scanned
code is converted to a digital signal in the scanner, then decoded and sent to the
host computer or system.
1.2.1 Interface Port
The SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge has one port for I/O and Power. The port is a 10 pin
RJ11 modular female connector. Cables are available from Hand Held Products for
evaluation of the 3700 Wedge. A modular connector was chosen as the standard
configuration for ease in servicing the scanner once installed.
1.2.2 Nonvolatile Memory
The 3700 Wedge contains nonvolatile FLASH memory which is used to store
operating parameters configured by means of bar code menu.
1.3 SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Software Description
SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge software employs Hand Held Products’ time proven
decoding algorithms, controls the microprocessor functions, decodes the bar codes,
and formats the output messages.
The 3700 Wedge standard default parameters can be easily reconfigured to meet
most scanning requirements. Application specific features and options are
configurable through menus.
The 3700 Wedge can be configured to autodiscriminate among the following bar
code symbologies and their variations: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Code
2 or 5, Matrix 2 of 5, Code 11, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC, EAN, EAN/UPC Addenda,
MSI, and Plessey. Most common bar code options, such as validating symbol
length and optional check character, are supported and easily selected.
In addition to decoding selections; data output formats, such as prefix and suffix
strings, and operating parameters are also configurable.
