DIAMOND™ D531
USING DIAMOND™
The Datalogic Diamond™ D531 is an omni-directional scanner, which
generates a scan pattern of 16 lines, thus ensuring high performance scanning.
Barcodes are read simply on presentation to the scanner window.
The Diamond™ scanner can be used handsfree as well as hand-held, e.g.:
a) Handsfree scanning by
sweeping curved motion towards the scanner window.
presenting the item to the scanner using a
b) You can also use it as a hand-held device by
item using a sweeping curved motion towards the item.
presenting the scanner to the
SLEEP STATE
After a default stand-by timeout the scanner enters a "Sleep" state for minimum
power consumption in which the scanner Laser is OFF and the motor is not
rotating.
It is possible to exit this state by simply pressing the trigger.

DATALOGIC
SINGLE LINE MODE
When many barcodes are present in the same reading area, like in barcode
price lists or in the case of configuration barcodes in this manual, selecting a
specific barcode to read is not practical with the large raster pattern emitted by
the Diamond™, so a special single line scanning mode can be easily entered to
perform this task. In this mode only a single scanning line is enabled so that
aiming and reading barcodes become very easy.
To use single line mode for barcode reading follow the procedure below:
1. While the normal raster pattern is present, press the trigger. A single laser
line will appear but barcodes cannot be decoded.
2. Position the presentation scanner over the code to read and press the
When using the scanner for data entry, a programmable timeout is provided to
assure that Diamond™ will return to raster mode if barcode reading is not
successful in single line (Single Line Decoding Duration). Also a programmable
timeout is available to manage how long to wait after successful reading before
returning to raster mode (Single Line Timeout OFF Before Raster).
If you need to make consecutive readings in single line mode, simply repeat the
procedure before the Single Line Timeout OFF Before Raster expires.
When in configuration, Diamond™ will remain in single line until the Exit Configuration barcode is read.

CONNECTIONS
The scanner and the host system must be switched off before
starting the installation of the scanner. By following this
precaution you prevent any electrical damage.
You are advised to install the scanner in a place with good air
NOTE
In order to install the scanner:
1. Locate the optimal scanner position in relation to the counter surface.
2. Pay attention to the product flow, the distance to the counter edge and
convenience for the operator.

USB INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
The USB interface is compatible with:
- Windows 98 (and later)
- Mac OS 8.0 (and later)
- IBM POS for Windows
- 4690 Operating System
Start-Up
As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by
communicating with the Diamond™. During this phase the green LED on the
Diamond™ reader blinks and normal operations are suspended. Two basic
conditions must be met before Diamond™ is ready to read codes,
USB driver must be loaded and sufficient power must be supplied to the reader.
For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD interface is
included in the Host Operating System and will either be loaded automatically or
will be suggested by the O.S. and should therefore be selected from the dialog
box (the first time only).
If the Host supplies sufficient power to the reader, the start-up phase ends
correctly, the green LED stops blinking and the reader emits the beep OK
signal.
If the Host does not supply sufficient power to the reader, a dialog box will
appear on the Host and the reader will be blocked (green LED continues
blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB cable
blinking), connect and power-up an external supply to the USB cable
reconnect the USB cable to the Host and close the dialog box. The reader emits
the beep OK signal. You can now read codes. At this point you can read the
USB interface configuration code according to your application. Load drivers
from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB-COM interface, the
relevant files and drivers must be installed from the USB Device Installation
software, which can be downloaded from the web page
http://www.datalogic.com.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
POWER SUPPLY
This device is intended to be connected to a UL Listed/CSA Certified computer
which supplies power directly to the reader or else be supplied by a UL
Listed/CSA Certified Power Unit marked “Class 2” or LPS power source rated
5 V, minimum 390mA, which supplies power directly to the reader via the power
connector of the cable.
