STEP 3 – FOCUS THE SCANNER
The reading distance depends on the focus distance of the scanner and should be set according to the
application requirements. The Focus Position is set directly through the focus adjustment screw on the front panel
of the scanner. This screw moves the internal lens of the scanner to change the focal length of the scanner. The
setting is continuous but should not be set beyond the limits "Too Far" or "Too Near" which appear on the display
at the extremes of the focus range. Although the scanner reads across the entire focus range, there are three
guaranteed positions which correspond to the reading diagrams in the Appendix of this Quick Reference Guide.
1. Power up the scanner and wait for the power up sequence to finish.
The alternating message on the display shows the mechanical
Focus Position.
2. Using a screwdriver turn the focus adjustment screw in the desired
direction clockwise (focus nearer to the scanner) o
counterclockwise (focus farther from the scanner). The focus
position in centimeters and inches is shown on the scanner display.
The value of the Focus Position can be stored in memory.
If the mechanical position changes with respect to the
value in memory, an alarm will be sent. See the Focus

STEP 4 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION
X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed to improve ease of installation and maintenance.
Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented on the display (which can be configured in various
languages) and by means of the five colored LEDs, whereas the single push button gives immediate access to
the following relevant functions:
• AutoSetup to self-optimize and auto-configure reading performance
in demanding applications
• AutoLearn to self-detect and auto-configure for reading unknown
barcodes (by type and length)
• Focus Lock to memorize the mechanical focus position
• Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check static reading
performance
The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following
table:
READY (green) This LED indicates the device is ready to operate.
GOOD (green) This LED confirms successful reading.
TRIGGER (yellow) This LED indicates the status of the reading phase.
COM (yellow) This LED indicates active communication on main serial port.
STATUS (red) This LED indicates a NO READ result.
During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.
On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner is correctly powered.
AUTO LEARN
If you are configuring your scanner using X-PRESS™, you must start with the Auto Learn procedure.
1. Enter the Auto Learn function by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed until the LEARN LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Auto Learn function.
Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes (by type and
length), which are presented to it (*). The laser turns on and the LEARN LED blinks to indicate the ongoing
process.

The procedure is as follows:
A) place the desired barcode on the scanline.
B) wait until the LEARN LED stays steady on
(indicating the reader has detected the barcode).
C) repeat, if needed, the above two steps to
program up to 10 different barcodes (either by
length or by symbology). If more than one
barcode is detected, the Multi Label mode is
enabled (refer to the “2K/4K Family Software
Configuration Parameter Guide” Help file).
3. Exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once. The scanner will restart at the end of the
process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in scanner memory.
If the barcode cannot be read because of low contrast or excessive ambient light, you can
perform the AutoSetup function to optimize the optical parameters. Then you can perform
AutoLearn to recognize the barcode symbology.
NOTE
* In case of Programming Barcodes, refer to the “ID-NET™ Programming Barcodes And Setup Procedure” document in the
product CD.

STEP 5 – INSTALL GENIUS™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
Genius™ is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages:
• Wizard approach for new users;
• Multi-language version;
• Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;
• Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the reader as a remote
object to be configured and monitored.
To install Genius™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running Windows 98, 2000/NT or
XP, then insert the Genius™ CD-ROM, wait for the CD to autorun and follow the installation procedure.
This configuration procedure assumes scanner connection to a CBX100/500. Genius™, running on a laptop
computer, is connected to the scanner auxiliary port through the CBX100/500 9-pin connector.
WIZARD FOR QUICK READER SETUP
After installing the Genius™ software program the following window appears asking the user to choose the
desired configuration level.

You will be guided through the configuration being asked to define the following parameters:
9
DS4800 QUICK GUIDE
a. Barcode selection and definition b. Operating mode selection and definition
c. Digital Outputs configuration d. Hardware interface selection
e. Output data format configuration
The On Line operating Mode requires the reader to be connected to an External Trigger/Presence Sensor
using I1A and I1B inputs.
The Automatic operating mode does not require connection to an external Presence Sensor. When
working in this mode the reader is continuously scanning, while the reading phase is activated each time a
barcode enters the reader reading zone. The reader stops reading after an N number of scans without a
code. Barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. In case of a failed reading phase no
message is sent to the host computer.
