1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DS8110 barcode scanner complete with decoder is designed to provide an innovative and high performance solution in omnidirectional reading applications by combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic solid experience in the material handling sector.
Some of the main features of the DS8110 are listed below:
Scanning speed 1000 scans/sec Reads all popular codes Supply voltage from 20 to 30 vdc Test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner without the
need for external tools
Programmable in several different operating modes to suit the most various barcode
reading system requirements
Light source: solid state laser diodes; the light emitted has a wave length between
630~680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “compliance” section at the
beginning of this manual
1.2 APPLICATIONS
The DS8110 barcode scanners are specifically designed for industrial applications and for all cases requiring high reading performance such as:
Code reconstruction (ACR™) Reading of codes covered by plastic film Reading of codes with a wide depth of field Reading codes within a wide field of view Reading of high resolution codes positioned at long distances from the reader Code reading on fast moving objects
These barcode scanners are designed for both single-reader layouts and multi-reader layouts. For typical layouts, see section 5.8.

Feature
Benefit
DST
Digital Signal Technology converts analog signals to digital before processing for much improved decoding capability especially on poorly printed or damaged codes.
ACR™
Fifth generation Advanced Code Reconstruction technology allows the reading of low aspect ratio labels placed anywhere on a parcel and enhances the readability of poorly printed or damaged codes.
PACKTRACK™
Second generation Datalogic patented parcel tracking system which improves the reading features in omnidirectional stations. In particular, PackTrack manages 6-sided reading systems when it is impossible to detect the real position of the code on the parcel, thus overcoming the need for external accessories essential in traditional tracking systems.
ASTRA™
Third generation Automatically SwiTched Reading Area is the Datalogic technology based on a multi-laser architecture and a fixed mounted optic system which concentrates the multiple laser emissions in a single laser beam. As each laser emitter is focused on a specific range of the reading area, a sophisticated electronic controller selects the best focused laser emitter with respect to the code to read. This allows the reading of medium-high density codes in a large reading area on very fast conveyors.
Flexibility
The high frequency laser diode modulation system guarantees complete immunity to ambient light and allows installation of the DS8110 in any working area.
Reading parcels on conveyors
As a result of the ASTRA multiple laser technology, DX8210 and DS8110 give a great real time DOF even on high speed conveyors. Furthermore, DX8210 and DS8110 implement the PackTrack functionality which leads to an increase of the plant production as a result of the augmented system throughput.
EBC
Ethernet Based Connectivity is a reliable real-time network communication between scanners in a reading station tunnel or array.
e-Genius
e-Genius is a browser-based User Interface with the folowing characteristics:
No software to install; Multilanguage platform; All the configuration parameters stored in the scanner; Not dependent on the Physical interface; Remote access
through local network.
Energy Saving
A software parameter group which allows management of the energy saving feature. In particular, it allows turning on/off the motor and laser of all network scanners according to the selected digital input, encoder, or communication channel. The time required to restart the system is less than 1 minute independently from the number of scanners connected. It is suggested to use this parameter for example when the conveyor is stopped for a lengthy period.

1.7 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR
The optional Datalogic Photoelectric Sensor is used in DX8210 barcode scanner systems to detect the presence of an item in the scanning area.
The photoelectric sensor is used in singulated systems where the packages are separated by an open space between the trailing edge of one package and the leading edge of the next. The photoelectric sensor, along with the encoder, enables a programmable transmit point at a defined distance from the sensor. Without the photoelectric sensor, the barcode scanner can be run in continuous mode. See 4.5.1 Modify Settings | Global Settings | Operating Mode.
Depending on the application, these devices may need to be configured differently. While the photoelectric sensor and tachometer work well with belt conveyors, a special configuration is needed for tilt-tray and cross-belt sorter applications. See section 3.10 for wiring options.

Continuous
The reading phase is always active and allows reading two or more codes when placed along the same scan line. Code transmission is identical to the other operating modes except that there is no transmission on the serial port in case of a No Read condition.
Mode Setting
Code Filter
Select Disable, Timeout, Encoder Steps, or Tx Line from the On Line Options drop-down list. This parameter determines criteria for
flushing entries from the code filtering list depending on the type of list management:
The Code Filter Depth parameter, when not = 0, manages
a FIFO (First In First Out) list of codes which are compared for filtering. The Timeout and Encoder Steps values are in addition to the cyclical flushing of entries when the FIFO list depth is exceeded.
When Code Filter is set to Tx Line an internal list is
managed where each entry is flushed when the Tx Line distance is exceeded.
The application program inherently compares codes based on content and code length.
Page 73
USER INTERFACE
61
4
Each Code Filter criteria has its own relative value parameter.
Disable: No additional criteria are applied. If code filtering
is enabled through the Code Filter Depth parameter, the FIFO list is only modified by new code entries (FIFO list depth exceeded).
Timeout: A timeout measured in milliseconds is also
applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the timeout expires.
Encoder Steps: a threshold measured in encoder steps is
also applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the number of encoder steps is exceeded.
Tx Line: The distance measured in mm to the transmit line
is applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the distance in mm is exceeded. When Tx Line is selected, all the networked scanners must have been calibrated using PackTrack (See section 5.6
PackTrack).
NOTE: When Code Filter = Tx Line:
The Code Filter Depth parameter is no longer available because the application program manages an internal list which depends solely on the number of codes decoded before the Tx Line is reached.
Any code which is determined to be identical to a code in the list by comparing the filter conditions will be discarded, and to increase precision the code in the list will have its x, y, z position coordinates adjusted as the average between the two readings.
x=x1+x2/2 , y=y1+y2/2 , z=z1+z2/2

Code Filter Depth
In Continuous mode, Code Filter Depth is used to avoid multiple reads of the same code. The entered value (other than zero) defines the number of codes to memorize in a FIFO (First In First Out) list.
When a code is read, it is compared to the list. The application program inherently compares codes based on content and code length. If the list contains a code identical to the current code being read, the current code is discarded. If not, the current code is accepted and added to the list in the first position; the remaining codes in the list are shifted. If the list is full the oldest code in the list will be flushed.
When = 0, there is no FIFO list and there is no filtering.

Match String Rule
Select Match or Do Not Match from the drop-down list. This parameter defines the matching rule, according to which a code can be transmitted.
Match: All codes matching the Pattern Match String will be transmitted  Do Not Match: All codes not matching the Pattern Match String will be
transmitted
Pattern Match String (max. 200 chars)
Click to activate the Text Entry Tool and create a pattern match string. A code can also be identified by its content. A pattern matching string is programmable for each code and if the read codes do not match the defined string, a No Read Event will be returned.
It is possible to define the matching string by inserting:
all printable characters  non printable ASCII characters available in the list which appears by right-
clicking on the parameter edit box
* = defining any string consisting of an undefined number of characters (it may
be empty)
? = identifying any character to be found in the position indicated within the
string
If your application requires inserting ?, * and NUL as characters, it is necessary to use the following syntax:
? character = <NUL>?  * character = <NUL>*  NUL character = <NUL>00  other extended ASCII characters = <NUL>xy, where xy identifies the character
hex value

Examples: Match a code starting with 123 string and followed by any string of characters:
Match String = 123*  Example Code = 123aC53
Match a code ending with 123 string preceded by any string of characters:
Match String = *123  Example Code = 41pO123
Match a code having 123 string in any position:
Match String = *123*  Example Code = 41pO123253
Match a code starting with 123 string followed by three generic characters and an undefined string of characters, in this case no character:
Match String = 123???*  Example Code = 123ad2
Match any code of four characters:
Match String = ????  Example Code = gT6k
Match a code with 6 characters in any position having 12 as central characters:
Match String = *??12??*  Example Code = datal12og35
The following is an example of a very complex string where ? and* are used both as commands and as characters:
Match String = *45<NUL>??*??AC<NUL>*251?*  Example Code = GEN45?3iusdsAC*2516300
NOTE: For Codabar codes the start/stop characters must be considered in the match conditions.
For all codes which use check digits, if the Check Digit is transmitted, it must be considered in the match conditions.
Options
NOTE: Input fields will vary depending on the selected symbology.

Field Name
Action/Definition
Code Combination
Select Single Label, Standard Multi Label, Logical Combination, or Code Collection from the drop-down list. The Code Combination parameter selects the
decoding mode for the scanner.
Single Label: In this mode only one barcode can be read in each reading
phase; however it can be determined automatically from up to 10 enabled codes. The scanner stops decoding as soon as a code is read.
If the code is not read during the reading phase, the No Read message is produced.
Standard Multi Label: In Multi Label mode the barcodes selected (up to 10),
will all be read in the same reading phase. If the reading phase terminates before all the codes are read, a Global No Read message will be produced, unless it is disabled, in which case a Local No Read will be produced.
NOTE: In case of Multi Label, the codes will be distinguished EITHER by their symbology, OR by their contents. If two (or more) codes share the same symbology and content, the scanner will perceive them as a unique code.
Logical Combination: In Logical Combination mode the codes of the groups
defined by the Logical Combination Rule are read in the same reading phase.
Code Collection: In Code Collection mode expected codes are collected
within a single reading phase in the order in which they are read. The No Read message is produced only if none of the codes are read. Up to 50 codes can be collected.

Multi-Filter Settings
Contained Filter
Select the check box to reveal the Max Number of Different Characters field. When checked, this filter attempts to eliminate false multiple reads by determining if a
short code read is "contained in" (is a sub-string of), another longer code read. This condition implicates that the short code is probably a misread of the same longer code and therefore should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code).
This filter is based upon the following rules:
a multiple read condition occurs  all decoded codes of the same type are compared with each other
Rule 1: the shorter code is considered contained in the longer code if the character string is found in the same order; the longer code may have a single block of characters in any position (before, after or in between the compared strings)
Example: The code 123456 is considered contained in the following codes: 00123456, 12345600, 12378456.
The code 123456 is not considered contained in the following codes: 12346507 (string out of order), 12345700 (string not complete), 120378456 or 0012345600 (multiple blocks in the string).
Rule 2: the shorter code is not filtered by rule 1. In the longer code, all possible sub­strings of the same length as the shorter code string are compared with the shorter code string. The shorter code is considered contained in the longer code if the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the Max Number of Different Characters. The shorter code will be filtered by rule 2.
Example: If Max Number of Different Characters = 1: The code 123456 is considered contained in the following codes: 12305600,
00123056, 8812305688 because there is only one different character in the compared string.
The code 123456 is not considered contained in 123066789 because there are two different characters in the compared string.
CAUTION: If the Contained Filter parameter is used when Message Tx Selection (see section 4.5.6) is set to On Decoding, the filter conditions may be satisfied before the
reading phase ends resulting in possible successive multiple read errors.
Max Number of Different Characters
Enter a value from 0 to 5 in the field provided to define the maximum number of different characters allowed to still consider a code as being included in another one and therefore to be filtered.
If the number of different characters between the compared codes exceeds the value of this parameter, the codes are considered as different and will not be filtered (a multiple read of a different code occurs).
If the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the value of this parameter, the short code is considered as a sub-string of the longer
Page 88

code and will be filtered (no multiple read occurs).
Examples: If Max Number of Different Characters = 2:
The code 123456 read once, is considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 133056, 123546, 123457 because there are two or less different characters by position in the compared codes.
The code 123456 read once, is not considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 153246, 103057, 654321 because there are at least three different characters by position in the compared codes.
Voting Filter
Select the check box to reveal the Max Number of Different Characters field. When checked, this filter attempts to eliminate false multiple reads by comparing the
number of different characters by position between two codes of the same type and length. This condition implicates that reading a code of the same type and length having very few different characters is probably a misread of the code itself and therefore the code read the least number of times should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code).
This filter is based upon the following rules:
a multiple read condition occurs;  the two codes are of the same type;  the two codes have the same length;  the number of different characters by position is equal to or less than the number
defined by the Max Number of Different Characters parameter;
Message Tx Selection (see section 4.5.6) must be set to After Reading Phase
Off.
Filter Out Low Height Codes
Select the check box to reveal the Minimum Readings Difference Between Scanners field.
Background: This option was developed for the airports systems where there are often tall bar height codes and low bar height codes with the same content attached to baggage. Travelers will often remove the large, tall bar height code, while leaving the smaller, low bar height codes attached to the bag. The next time they travel they may have multiple low bar height codes on their baggage plus the new tall bar height and low bar height codes for the new trip.
This option instructs the system to ignore low bar height codes, which are likely read only once or twice, in favor of tall bar height codes, which will likely be read multiple times.
This is used in tunnel applications where multiple barcodes are read and there is a need to filter out one of the barcodes. If less than x number of scanners read the barcode, then it will be considered a NOREAD for that code.
Minimum Readings Difference Between Scanners
Enter the minimum number of scanners that must read a barcode for it to be considered a valid read.

No Read Message
Select Disable No Read Message, Global No Read Message, or Local No Read(s) Message from the drop-down list. The No Read condition occurs
whenever a code cannot be read or decoded.
Disable No Read Message: The No Read Message is not transmitted.  Global No Read Message: The No Read String will be sent if the
scanner is unable to decode one or more barcodes in the reading phase.
Local No Read(s) Message: This option is useful when one or more
codes are not read in the reading phase or when more codes than the expected number set by the configuration parameters are read.
If working in Standard Multi Label mode, this option activates the Code Label Local No Read String and the Code Label Local Multiple Read String parameters which allow setting a Local No Read String and a Local Multiple string for each defined code symbology.
No Read String (max. 128 chars)
Click to activate the Text Entry Tool and create a string to be displayed when Global No Read Message is selected from the No Read Message drop­down list. Click Submit to save your text to the origin window text field, or click
Cancel to return to origin window without transferring text.
Multiple Read Message
Select Disable or Enable from the drop-down list. This string will be sent if, during the reading phase, the scanner reads more than the number of the expected barcodes set by the configuration parameters.
Multiple Read String (max. 128 chars)
Click to activate the Text Entry Tool and create a string to be displayed in case of Multiple Read Message. Click Submit to save your text to the origin window text field, or click Cancel to return to origin window without transferring text.
This parameter is only available when Multiple Read Message is enabled and the No Read Message selection is different from Local No Read(s) String. It is possible to select either the ASCII or HEX value. If disabled, the scanner transmits the first code read.
Send All Multiple Read Labels
For Advanced Data Format only, by enabling this parameter all multiple read labels will be included in the output message. They can be separated by the
Multiple Read Separator. Multiple Read Label Separator String (max. 128 chars):
The Multiple Read Label Separators (up to 128 bytes) are used to separate multiple read barcodes in the reading phase.
This is meaningful when the Code Combination parameter is set to Multi Label or Logical Combination and the Send All Multiple Read Labels parameter has been enabled.
If selected, they occur within the Code Field and are transmitted after each decoded multiple read barcode.
WebSentinel ­Partial Read Is Treated As
Select No Read, Good Read, or Partial Read from the drop-down list. This determines how WebSentinel will treat the partial read.
