1 INTRODUCTION

Datalogic renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the Dragon™
family: Dragon™ Desk and Dragon™ Mobile. Robustness and ergonomics remain
unsurpassed: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs for areas where
noise levels are normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to the right code, has
now been extended to the whole Dragon™ family. Optical parts are completely
suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body materials, such as
the co-moulded rubber, protect the Dragon™ from damage due to "falls".

New enhanced architecture, based on an M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables
exceptional performance for promptness and reading speed of standard codes as
well as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Puzzle Solver
Technology™, a patent from Datalogic, adds further strength to the Dragon™
powerful engine.

In all applications where mobility is a value, the new Dragon™ M represents the key
to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area. Dragon™ M
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. Dragon™ M also includes a display and a 3 push-button
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 gun is associated with its own base station;

• Multipoint: up to 32 guns transmit data to one base station;

• Network: to cover a wide area, connecting up to 16 bases and 512 guns

Dragon™ M is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the Datalogic RF narrow
band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of narrow band
devices on the market.

Your Dragon™ reader is supplied with its own Quick Reference Manual which
provides connection diagrams, basic application parameter settings, default values,
and specific technical features. You can use either your reader's Quick Reference
Manual or this Manual for initial configuration in order to set the default values and
select the interface for your application. This manual provides all the necessary
information for complete mechanical installation and system software configuration.

Twisted Pair - Power supply

When wiring the multidrop cables, note the following:

As with all bus systems, the best overall performance is obtained by keeping cable
length to a minimum.

Pin 8 (or 7) should be connected only if power has to be propagated from a cradle to a
STARGATE™ base station or STAR-Box™ converter via the cable. See par 3.2 for
example network layouts.

Pins 5 (or 4) should always be connected as reference ground.

To avoid excessive voltage drop, it is recommended not to propagate power between
OM-3000 cradles when used as battery chargers but to supply each cradle
individually. The total number of devices which can be connected to a single power
supply depends on the power supply voltage, the wire length and resistance and
therefore the voltage drop.

Do NOT connect VDC+ between network devices that are

individually powered.

DRAGON™ D131/M131

2.8.2 Network Termination

The first and last cradles of the chain (the two ends of the bus) must be properly
terminated. The cradle has an internal terminator that can be selected via jumper.
For this selection you must open the device.

No Termination Static Dynamic

Terminator for Multidrop Network

Static termination works for all network configurations. However, the network is
always under load even when no data transmission takes place.

Dynamic termination can be used for baud rates at or above 38400 and provides less
load on the network when idle.

2.9 DRAGON™ M131 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

2.9.1 Battery Charging

Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the Dragon™ M131 into
the cradle to charge the battery.

When the reader is correctly inserted in the cradle, the "Reader" red LED on the cradle
goes on to indicate that the battery is charging. The "Reader" green LED on the cradle
goes on when the battery is completely charged.

2.9.2 Replacing Dragon™ M131 Batteries

To change the batteries in your Dragon™ M131 scanner, unscrew the retaining
screw and extract the battery pack from the reader handle. Then, insert the new
battery pack into the reader handle and tighten the screw.

Multiple Stand Alone Systems in the Same Area

Since the cradles can communicate to multiple Dragon™ M131 readers, you might
find it useful to employ one or more C-3000 battery chargers in addition to the
OM-30X0 cradle, so that the battery re-charging operation can be performed for
several scanners at the same time.

System cables to Host

In this layout the OM-30X0 cradle is connected by a dedicated cable using the RS232
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
RS232, RS485, Profibus.

3.2 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

single Host. Dragon™ M131 readers are compatible with
STAR-System™ networks. These networks provide seamless active roaming for any
RF reading device in the system.

Example Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with Host as Master

In this layout the Host acts as the Master using STAR-Link™ software. The Host is
connected in RS232 to a STAR-Box™ converter which is connected to the first slave in
the RS485 network. In this way the base stations provide communications between a
single Host and all readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations are used as
slaves in this network. The Slaves at the ends of the network must be terminated (see
the STARGATE™ and STAR-Box™ Installation Manuals and par. 2.8.2).

Example Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with OM-3000 as Master

In this layout an OM-3000 cradle acts as the Master. The Host is connected to the
OM-3000 Master using any one of the multi-standard interfaces (RS232, USB,
WEDGE, or PEN Emulation). The Master is then connected to the slaves in the RS485
network. In this way the slave cradles provide communications between a
and

all readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations can also be used as slaves

single Host

in this network. The devices at the ends of the network must be terminated (see par.

2.8.2).

See pars. 4.6 and 4.7 or the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for system
configuration specifications.

3.2.3 Master OM-3000 Network Troubleshooting

Two diagnostic strings can be sent via RS232 from the Host to the Master cradle in
order to have feedback about the network itself.

#+LSlave

Returns a list of all the Slaves recognized at boot up.

Example:
In a network where the Master cradle has address 0188 and one Slave cradle with
address 0001, the response is:

188
1

#+Alive<xxxx>

Executes a continuous Alive request to the slave xxxx in order to monitor the
performance of the connection. A diagnostic message is displayed on the Host.

Example:
If this command is sent for slave cradle with address 0032, the response is:

/*32: OM-30X0 SOFTWARE RELEASE 1.00 20/10/2006*/

if there are no communication errors

/*32: FAIL*/

if there are communication errors.

To exit from this command, reset the system by cycling power to the Master cradle.

4.1 CONFIGURATION METHODS

4.1.1 Reading Configuration Barcodes

This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration of your reader by
following the setup procedures in this chapter (see par. 4.2 for an overview).

If you wish to change the default settings, this manual provides complete
configuration of your reader in an easy way.

To configure your reader:

1) Open the folded page in Appendix C with the hex-numeric table and keep it

open during the device configuration.

2) Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page

of configuration.

3) Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following the

procedures given for each group.

4) Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of

each page of configuration.

Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are given
in chapter 5.

4.1.2 Using Datalogic Aladdin™

Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user­friendly configuration method via the RS232/USB-COM interface.
It also allows upgrading the software of the connected device (see the Datalogic
Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).

4.1.3 Copy Command

A previously configured device (Master), can be used to send its configuration directly
to other devices of the same type (Slaves). The particular procedure for each device is
given in par. 5.13.

4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS232
interface. This method is particularly useful when many 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.

4.2 SETUP PROCEDURES

For Dragon™ D131 Series readers, follow the setup procedures in pars. 4.3, and 4.8.
For Dragon™ M131 Series readers, the setup procedures depend on two basic

applications, Stand Alone or STAR-System™.

Stand Alone applications allow communication with the Host by either the OM-30X0
cradle (par. 4.5), or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem (par. 4.5.2).

STAR-System™ applications allow communication with the Host through an RS485
network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the OM-3000 cradle (par. 4.6
and par. 4.7).

4.9 USB READER CONFIGURATION

The USB interface is available for Dragon D131, OM-30x0 and C-3000 devices and
is compatible with the following Operating Systems:

Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows
Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System

USB Start-up

As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by
communicating with the device. During this phase normal operations are suspended
(the LED on the Dragon™ D131 reader blinks). Two basic conditions must be met
before the device is ready,
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).

Normally the Host supplies sufficient power to
the device and the start-up phase ends
correctly. (The reader's LED stops blinking and
the reader emits the beep OK signal).

In rare cases, if the Host does not supply
sufficient power to the device, a dialog box will
appear on the Host and the device will be
blocked (the reader's LED continues blinking). In
this case, disconnect the USB device cable
the Host (the reader's LED stops blinking), and
then try a different USB port as indicated by the
Operating System message. (The device 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 USB­COM 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.

The device is ready. Successive start-ups will automatically recognize the previously
loaded drivers.

4.10 CHANGING DEFAULT SETTINGS

Once your reader is setup, you can change the default parameters to meet your
application needs. Refer to the preceding paragraphs for initial configuration in order
to set the default values and select the interface for your application.

In this manual, the configuration parameters are divided into logical groups making it
easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.

The first four groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration for all
Dragon™ D131 series readers and Dragon™ M131/OM-30X0 Stand Alone
configurations only:

RS232
USB
WEDGE
PEN EMULATION
NETWORK PARAMETERS are available only for OM-3000 Network configurations.

The following parameter groups are common to all interface applications:

DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for all
interfaces except Pen Emulation.

POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device.

READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator status

functioning.

DECODING PARAMETERS maintain correct barcode decoding in certain special
reading conditions.

CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix of codes,
code families and their options.

ADVANCED FORMATTING PARAMETERS allow code concatenation and
advanced formatting of messages towards the Host. It cannot be used with Pen
Emulation connections.

RADIO PARAMETERS (M131 series only) allow configuration of radio control
parameters.

DISPLAY PARAMETERS (some M131 series models only) allow configuration of
reader display parameters.

KEYBOARD SETTING

ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING

The device (reader or cradle) can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types
and nationalities through a simple keyboard setting procedure.

The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting
command.

Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the device how to send data corresponding to
the keyboard used in the application. The keys must be set in a specific order.

Press and release a key to set it.

Some characters may require more than one key pressed simultaneously during normal use
(refer to the manual of your PC or terminal for keyboard use). The exact sequence must be
indicated to the reader in this case pressing and releasing the different keys.

Example:

If one has to press the "Shift" and "4" keys simultaneously on the keyboard to transmit the
character "$" to the video, to set the "$", press and release "Shift" then press and release "4".

Each pressed and released key must generate an acoustic signal on the device, otherwise
repress the key. Never press more than one key at the same time, even if this corresponds to
the normal use of your keyboard.

Press "Backspace" to correct a wrong key entry. In this case the device emits 2 beeps.
Note: "CAPS LOCK" and "NUM LOCK" must be off before starting the keyboard setting
procedure. "SHIFT" must be repressed for each character and cannot be substituted by
"CAPS LOCK".



Read the code above.
Press the keys shown in the following table according to their numerical order.

Some ASCII characters may be missing as this depends on the type of keyboard: these are
generally particular characters relative to the various national symbologies. In this case:

• The first 4 characters (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) can only be substituted with

• characters can be substituted with other single symbols (e.g. "SPACE") even if not

• characters can be substituted with others corresponding to your keyboard.

In the case of damaged or poorly printed codes, this parameter allows reading multiple parts of
the single code to reconstruct it.

To read codes using this technology, simply move the illuminated bar over the code so that
each line of the code is scanned. During this process a series of brief “ticks” indicates that
reading is proceeding correctly.

Conditions:

• This parameter is only valid for the following codes:

• For Code 39, Check digit control is forced.

• PuzzleSolver™ is not valid for ISBT 128 code.

Code selections may be performed according to two different procedures:

- Auto-configuration, allowing an automatic recognition and selection of the code families

to be read;

- Manual configuration, requiring configuration and selection of each code family to be

read.

AUTO-CONFIGURATION

The following codes do not require reading the Enter and Exit configuration codes.

In auto-configuration mode the reader enters a particular state, during which it reads,
recognizes and saves all information received from the decoding of an existing code (with the
exception of MSI, Code 49 and Code 16k code types). In this way, the code families will be
automatically configured.
It is possible to configure up to 10 code types, whose length is variable and check digit ignored.
If reading different codes belonging to the same family, information about the last code will
overwrite the information about the previous one.

Follow the given procedure to auto-configure the desired code families:

If no code is read during the auto-configuration procedure (step
configuration will be empty and therefore the reader will be unable to read

CAUTION

If you need to change the configuration, repeat the auto-configuration procedure, follow the
manual configuration by setting the parameters for each single code family or read the "Restore

restored.
