About DataMan 9500
The DataMan 9500 reader offers a handheld ID reader supporting an integrated
user interface based on a mobile computer. It combines the industry’s
most advanced technology for reading 1-D and 2-D codes using liquid lens
technology with a programmable WinCE platform.
The enhanced interface allows you to write and implement your own application
according to your work environment’s needs.
The DataMan 9500 reader
includes the following features:
• an embedded color LCD and
full function keyboard
• an embedded Setup Tool Lite,
which allows you to view
acquired and decoded images
directly on the reader and
perform reader conguration
• several embedded
programming interfaces that
you can use to write custom
applications
• support for direct connection
to an existing corporate or
factory wireless network
The DataMan 9500 device supports two types of wireless communication: ad
hoc and access point.
By default, the device is congured to connect to an ad hoc network, that
is, it communicates with your PC through a wireless network adapter (for
example, a wireless USB stick).
Access point communication means that the DataMan 9500 connects to a
wireless router, which in turn is connected to a PC through Ethernet. Wireless
communication is established between the reader and the wireless access point
(the router).

Each reader can store its current set of runtime parameters to a conguration
(.cfg) le, which contains information such as the enabled symbologies and
how any output data should be formatted.
The same conguration le can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the le
does not contain identication information such as the IP address or device
name of the reader used to create it.
A reader can also generate a Cognex device conguration (.cdc) le, which
stores the set of runtime parameters plus any identication data, such as
the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and so on. Cognex
recommends generating a device conguration le for each reader to allow you
to restore a reader to its operating state with minimal effort.
Use the File menu of the Setup Tool to manage .cfg and .cdc les:
File Menu
Open CongurationOpen a saved .cfg conguration le.
Save CongurationCreate a .cfg conguration le of current runtime
parameters.

Use the Edit menu for standard Cut, Copy and Paste operations.
Use the View menu to view reader information (serial number, rmware
version, and so on) and to enable and disable various elements of the
Setup Tool, and the Tasks menu to switch between various Setup Tool
options.
Use the System menu to manage the current settings on the reader
and to upgrade the features it currently supports:
System Menu

Upload Feature KeyUnlock additional features available in the
reader software if you have the right key.
Use the Help menu to display Setup Tool version information.
NOTE that the Setup Tool does not allow you to update rmware if
the battery is less than 30% charged. It is therefore recommended to
place your device on the base station for charging before you update
rmware.
Keyboard Emulation
Keyboard Emulation allows a text editor on your DataMan 9500 to display code
content as if it was typed on your DataMan 9500 keyboard.
To enable keyboard emulation, perform the following steps:
1. Scan the Mobile Computer Keyboard Emulation Enable Conguration Code
(from the ReaderCongurationCodes document, available through the
Windows Start menu.)
2. Open a text editor on your DataMan 9500, for example, Microsoft WordPad,
and place your cursor into an empty document.
3. See that scanned codes appear as newly typed text in the document.
Calibrating your Screen
Your device starts up showing the initial screen with a factory
calibration. If the screen does not respond to your taps, recalibrate your
screen by performing the following steps:
1. Click Start menu ―› Settings ―› Control Panel
2. Double click the Stylus icon. The Stylus Properties pane appears.

run Setup Tool Lite) by pressing the
yellow barcode button on the top of
the device.
Trigger will be ON either until you
release the button or until the device
can successfully read a code.
attempts to read a code. Use the Setup Tool, or the appropriate reader
conguration codes, to change trigger types.
The following trigger types are supported:
• Presentation: The laser aimer is always on. When motion is detected
in front of the reader, the reader will turn on and scan for a symbol.
The reader relies on an internal timing mechanism to acquire images.
• Manual (default): Begins acquiring images when you press the trigger
button on the reader, and continues acquiring images until a symbol
is found and decoded or you release the button.
After triggering, the last read image is
displayed at the center of the screen
in either the Setup Tool or the Setup
Tool Lite (or both).
The application also indicates
successful reads with green borders.
The read – and possibly formatted –
code is displayed under the image.
When you are within the wireless range or your access point, your reader sends
decoded data to your PC through the access point, which may be a router or
your PC. You can also see the decoded images in the Setup Tool, if it is running
and connected to the reader.
When you leave the wireless range, however, you lose connection to your
access point, but you can still keep reading codes. The decoded data is saved
in the buffer of the reader.
This buffered data appears on your PC again when you come back within the
wireless range.
While you are still within the wireless range, the reader occasionally blinks blue
to indicate that the wireless connection is established.
When you leave the wireless range, you can still keep reading codes. The
reader going ofine is indicated by a long beep and the status indicator ashes
magenta.
status indicator blinks magenta:

When the reader is ofine, good reads are indicated with 2 short beeps and the
selected good read status indicator color (green by deafult).
When the buffer is full, no more codes are read. The reader does not
discard the oldest read.
Blinking red status indicators will indicate low battery. As the battery
discharges, the blink frequency increases.

Changing Batteries
To change batteries, perform the following steps:
1. Twist the reader’s end cap, and
take it off.
The battery should not be disposed of along with municipal
waste. Use the appropriate separate take-back systems for battery disposal.
2. Hold the reader in an upright
position and the battery will slide out
of the handle. NOTE that you may
need to shake the reader slightly.
3. Put the replacement battery into the slot. The battery has a small
triangle on one of its side. Make sure you insert the battery triangle end
rst.
4. Put the end cap back on and twist it.
Make sure the
triangle aligns with
the circle when the
cover is locked.
5. Place the battery in the spare battery charger in the direction of the small
triangle of the battery.
When you are charging the auxilliary battery, the base station’s spare battery
status indicator displays either charging in progress (red) or fully charged
(green).
There is a range of reading distances available for different code sizes
and focus positions. Select a focus position that allows you to read the
desired code sizes at the desired working distance.
• If your application has a consistent reading range, set the focus
range to a limited depth of eld with no steps (for example, set it to
20) or with limited steps (for example, set it to 2 steps between 0
and 30). This way you can achieve fast performance.
• If your application has a variety of code types and sizes, set the
focus range to a wider depth of eld with increased number of steps
(for example, set it to 6 steps between 0 and 200). This way you can
get better coverage.
For a map of the eld of view and reading distances, see the next page.
