Introduction

The PowerScan® PM8500 cordless handheld Reader Family packs a lot of performance into an attractive, rugged, handheld device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments as well as the front office.
In all applications where mobility is a value, the PowerScan® PM8500 represents the key to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area. PowerScan® communicates through a low power, license free radio in the 433 MHz band (910 MHz for USA version) and allows bi-directional communication between the base station and the host. PowerScan® PM8500 also includes a display and a 3-key keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator can receive information from the host, interact with the central system and visualize the code read. The cordless system offers scalable solutions to solve simple applications and complex projects:
• Point to point: each reader is associated with its own base station;
• Multipoint: up to 32 readers transmit data to one base station;
• Network: to cover a wide area, connecting u ously working in automatic roaming.
PowerScan band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of narrow band devices on the market. In addition, the main feature of PowerScan PM8500 are:
Omni-directional Operating
Decoding and Imaging
Flash Memory
USA Driver License Parsing

PM8500 is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the Datalogic RF narrow
To read a symbol, simply aim at the code and pull the trigger. Since PowerScan® PM8500 is a powerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the symbol is not important.
Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan® PM8500 reliably decodes all major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is immediately available to read another symbol.
Flash technology allows upgrade of the PowerScan® PM8500 reader as new symbologies are supported or as improved decoding algorithms become available.
The PowerScan® PM8500 reader can be set up to select and output a subset of data elements from USA Driver License PDF417 barcodes. This feature can be enabled using either Datalogic Aladdin™ or the barcodes in the USA Driver License Parsing Quick Reference Guide (QRG), available on the Datalogic website.

Introduction

Using the Reader

Aiming System

The PowerScan® M8500 reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on cameras. By partially pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view to be positioned over the code:
Figure 6. Aiming System
When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read. The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther away from the code.
Figure 7
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the PowerScan® PM8500 is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. (See "Technical Features" starting on page 179 for further details).

Normal Operation

PowerScan® M8500 normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.
Point the reader at the target and pull the trigger partially to enable the aiming system. Then, pull it compl until the symbol is decoded or timeout is reached. In between the flashes of the reader, the aiming system keeps on showing the field of view on the target (see Figure 7 on page 18
As you are reading code symbols, adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader.

).
The PowerScan® M8500 hand-held reader aiming system is designed for general reading and decoding of 1D and 2D symbols. Some variation in reading distance will occur due to narrow bar width and other factors.
If reading codes positioned on reflective surfaces, it may be necessary to tilt the reader with respect to the barcode and/or set the Camera Control parameters (see
page 102
).
Configuration Methods
Reading Configuration Codes
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration. If you wish to change the default settings, you can configure the PowerScan® PM8500 reader by reading the programming code symbols in this manual. Configuration commands and their relative arguments are read individually using the symbols in this manual. See "Configuration Using
Code Symbols" starting on page 53.
Using Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin, available on the CD­ROM provided, allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to the reader over the current communication interface, or they can be printed as barcodes to be scanned.
It also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix B, Host Configuration Strings using the RS-232 or USB COM interface. This method is devices need to be configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.

Introduction

Autoscanning

Normal Mode

PowerScan® M8500 provides an autoscan command (see page 205), which when enabled, causes the reader to scan continuously and to monitor the this way, PowerScan® M8500 is ready to capture any image (containing a potential code) positioned on a
central zone of its reading area. In
uniform background.
The aiming system can be enabled to indicate the reading area of the potentia captured. The illumination system can also be enabled when the ambient light conditions are not sufficient to autodetect the potential code to be captured; furthermore, the illumination system increases in intensity for an instant when capturing and decoding an image. A safety time may be defined to prevent PowerScan® M8500 from reading the same code repeatedly.
If the decoding is completed successfully, the reader starts monitoring the reading area again. In case code is present in the central zone of the reading area.

Pattern Mode

The Autoscan pattern mode is particularly advised when reading barcodes positioned on a non-uniform background. In these cases PowerScan® M8500 may perceive some elements of the background as barcodes and start the decoding. To avoid this undesired effect, the Autoscan Pattern Code is placed in the PowerScan® M8500 reading area which prevents decoding. Using this code as the background, code reading takes place normally by presenting desired codes to be read over the Pattern Code. Between each code read, the Pattern Code must be presented to the reader.
The Pattern Code can be printed from this manual (see Autoscan Pattern Code in Appendix F).
In case of low ambient light conditions, PowerScan® M8500 automatically activates the i

Camera Control

Exposure and Calibration
Three automatic control modes are available to optimize the reading performance:
• Automatic based on entire image: ca whole image. This mode works well in most standard applications. It is the default set­ting.
• Automatic based on central image: camera co restricted area positioned in the central zone of the image. This mode is suggested when reading small codes positioned in a dark and extensive background.
• Automatic for highly reflective surfaces: ca codes on highly reflective surfaces. This mode is suggested, for example, when reading codes positioned on plastic or metal surfaces.

Defining Data Formatting

The string of a decoded code to be sent to the host may be formatted as follows:
• defining simple data formatting (see page 84)
• defining advanced data formatting giving complete flexibility in changing the format of data (see Adv
anced Data Formatting on page 135).
Defining Data Formatting
When both simple and advanced data formatting are selected the info is pr following order:
1. the string of the decoded code is processed according to the ad
2. the resulting string is processed according to the selection type rules of the simple data formatting;
aracter substitution is performed on the resulting string;
3. ch
the r
4. character deletion is performed on
5. code concatenation is performed;
6. code ID is attached to the resulting string;
7. global headers and terminators are attach
The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the following two conditions:
esulting string;
ed to the re
sulting string;
ocessed in the
vanced formatting rules;
One Code Per Scan
• PowerScan® M8500 sends the code being closest to the image center. If the "Central Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the code containing the image center will be transmitted (see page 205);
All Codes Per Scan
• The codes to be sent to the host may be ordered either by length or by symbology starting from the code being closest to the image center (see page 205). When enabling both these criteria, codes belonging to the same symbology are sent to the host depending on their length.
Product Reference Guide 21
Introduction

Concatenation

It is possible to concatenate up to 4 different codes, set their length and enable the Intercode Delay between them (the intercode delay is set in the specific interface parameters, see
"Configuration Using Code Symbols" starting on page 53 ). When enabling the delay one or
more global headers and terminators are added to the decoded data. The conc procedure may occur in different ways depending on the number of codes to be decoded per image:

•Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range. Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your
Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot
weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the bat­tery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cook­ware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on. Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label. Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part. Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full discharge/charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial discharging / recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging,
The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI
batteries is one to three years, depending on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they should be removed from service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to use a battery that is showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and replaced. For most applications, batteries should be replaced after one year of service to maintain customer satisfaction and minimize safety concerns.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in compliance with European
ctive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and
Dire China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.

Multiple Stand-Alone Layouts

Many stand-alone connections can operate in the same physical area without interference, provided all readers and cradles in the system have different addresses.
Figure 19. Multiple Stand-alone Systems in the Same Area
Since the cradles can communicate to multiple PowerScan® M8500 readers, you might find it useful to employ one or more C-8000 battery chargers in addition to the BC-80X0 cradle, so that the battery re-charging operation can be performed for several scanners at the same time.
Figure 20. C-BOX Layout
In this layout the BC-80X0 cradle is connected by a dedicated cable using the RS-232 interface to a C-BOX connection box as part of a fixed scanner network. This allows the flexibility of a hand-held reading station integrated into a variety of fixed scanning applications so that all readers (both fixed and hand-held), in the system provide communications to the Host.
The various C-BOX models provide many interface types for the Host system such as RS-232, RS-485, and Profibus.

Multidrop STAR-System™ Network Layouts

Even though many stand-alone systems can operate in the same physical area without interfering with each other, it may be desirable to bridge data from multiple base stations in a network to a networks. These networks provide seamless active roaming for any RF reading device in the system.
