Overview

The Honeywell Xenon™ XP 1950h is a corded area-imaging scanner designed specifically for healthcare environments. This Quick Start Guide provides essential information for setting up and using the device, focusing on its core functions, various usage features, and maintenance considerations.

Function Description

The primary function of the Xenon XP 1950h is to accurately and efficiently scan barcodes. It is an area-imaging scanner, meaning it captures an image of the barcode rather than just a single line, allowing for greater flexibility in scanning orientation. The "h" in its model name signifies its specialization for healthcare applications, suggesting features tailored for such settings, potentially including disinfectant-ready housing or quiet operation modes to minimize disturbance in patient care areas. The scanner is designed to be connected to a computer, facilitating data entry and management in various healthcare information systems.

Usage Features

The Xenon XP 1950h offers a range of usage features to enhance its versatility and ease of integration into different workflows.

Connectivity: The scanner supports multiple connection types, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of computer systems.

  • USB Connection: The most common connection type, allowing the scanner to be directly plugged into a computer's USB port.
  • Keyboard Wedge: This connection type allows the scanner to emulate a keyboard, sending scanned data as if it were typed directly into an application. This is particularly useful for legacy systems or applications that do not support direct scanner input.
  • RS232 Serial Port: For systems requiring a serial connection, the scanner can be configured to communicate via an RS232 port.

Power Supply: The device requires external power, which is typically supplied via a power adapter. It's important to note that the power supply must be ordered separately if not included with the scanner. Users are instructed to turn off the computer's power before connecting the scanner and then power up the computer once the scanner is fully connected, ensuring a proper setup.

Reading Techniques: The scanner employs a view finder that projects an aiming beam. This beam should be centered over the barcode for optimal reading, though the device is designed to read barcodes positioned in any direction, offering flexibility during scanning.

Default Settings and Configuration: The scanner comes with standard product defaults, which can be easily reset by scanning a specific barcode provided in the guide. For more advanced configurations, the device supports various programming barcodes.

  • USB Serial Emulation: Users can program the scanner to emulate a regular RS232-based COM Port. For Microsoft Windows PCs, a driver needs to be downloaded from the Honeywell website, which will assign the next available COM Port number. Apple Macintosh computers automatically recognize the scanner as a USB CDC class device and use a class driver, eliminating the need for extra configuration like baud rate.
  • USB PC Keyboard Emulation: A dedicated barcode allows the scanner to be programmed for USB PC Keyboard emulation, making it behave like a standard keyboard for data input.
  • Healthcare Application Integration: The scanner can be configured to communicate seamlessly with specific healthcare software applications. Barcodes are provided to configure the device for use with Epic and Meditech® software applications, streamlining integration into common electronic medical record (EMR) systems.

Quiet Operations (Healthcare-Specific Feature): A key feature for healthcare environments is the ability to operate quietly, minimizing disturbance to resting patients.

  • Silent Mode with Flashing LED: Scanning a specific barcode completely silences the scanner's beeper. When a barcode is scanned, the LED and aimer flash five times. A green flash indicates a good scan, while a red flash indicates a bad scan.
  • Silent Mode with Long LED: Similar to the flashing LED mode, this option silences the beeper. Upon a barcode scan, the LED and aimer remain solidly lit for one second, with green for a good scan and red for a bad scan.
  • Very Low Beeper (Nighttime Mode): This mode programs the scanner for a very soft beep, suitable for nighttime operations where minimal noise is desired.
  • Low Beeper (Daytime Mode): For daytime use, this mode sets the scanner to emit a low-volume beep.

Trigger Modes: The scanner offers different trigger modes to suit various operational preferences.

  • Manual Trigger - Normal Mode (Default): In this mode, the user must press the trigger button to activate the scanner and read a barcode.
  • Presentation Mode: When in presentation mode, the scanner is activated automatically when it "sees" a barcode, eliminating the need to press the trigger.
  • Streaming Presentation™ Mode: An advanced presentation mode where the scan illumination remains on continuously, and the scanner constantly searches for barcodes, allowing for hands-free, rapid scanning.

Data Formatting (Suffixes and Prefixes): To enhance data entry efficiency, the scanner allows for the addition of suffixes and prefixes to scanned data.

  • Suffixes: Users can add a carriage return (CR) or a tab suffix after a barcode scan by scanning specific barcodes. A "Remove Suffix" barcode is also available to clear any added suffixes.
  • Code ID Prefix: A barcode is provided to temporarily add a Code ID prefix to all symbologies, which can be useful for identifying the type of barcode scanned. A complete list of Code IDs can be found in the User Guide.

Keyboard Country Configuration: To ensure correct character input for different regions, the scanner supports various keyboard layouts. Users can scan appropriate country codes (e.g., USA, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, France, Great Britain, Germany/Austria, Italy, Norway, Spain, Switzerland) to program the keyboard layout for their specific country or language. This feature addresses national character replacements for symbols like #$@[]^'{|}~, with detailed character replacement charts available in the User Guide.

Maintenance Features

While the Quick Start Guide primarily focuses on initial setup and usage, it also touches upon maintenance and support aspects.

Cleaning: For information regarding cleaning the device, users are directed to refer to the comprehensive User Guide. This is particularly important for healthcare devices, which often require specific cleaning protocols to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination.

Software and Support:

  • EZConfig-Scanning: This online configuration software tool, available on the Honeywell website, allows users to access additional features and fine-tune scanner settings.
  • Technical Support: Honeywell provides a knowledge base and a Technical Support portal (www.hsmcontactsupport.com) for users to find solutions, report problems, and get assistance.
