1 INTRODUCTION

The DelfiScan family provides a valuable solution for users seeking an affordable handheld
device without compromise in performance.
The extensive range of models and options of this family can easily meet any specific
challenges required by retail, and commercial data collections applications.
The DelfiScan M80 is the ideal solution for retail and commercial environments where
continuous and multi-tasking activities are keys to optimum productivity, lower cost of
ownership and profitable business.

1.1 READING ANGLE

DelfiScan M80 readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the
trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the light bar emitted from the
reading window. This bar must cover the entire code.

Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode to avoid
direct reflections, which could impair the reading performance. See the figures below.

Successful reading is obtained by an audible tone.

3.4 USB READER CONFIGURATION

The USB interface is compatible with:

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 DelfiScan M80. During this phase the yellow LED on the DelfiScan
M80 reader blinks and normal operations are suspended. Two basic conditions must be
met before the DelfiScan M80 is ready to read codes, the correct USB driver must be
loaded and sufficient power must be supplied to the reader.

For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB­KBD 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
reader, the start-up phase ends correctly, the yellow LED
stops blinking.

In rare cases, 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 (yellow LED continues
blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB device cable at
the Host (yellow LED stops blinking); and then try a
different USB port as indicated by the Operating System
message. 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.delfi.com.

The reader is ready to read barcodes. Successive start-ups will automatically recognize the
previously loaded drivers.

3.5 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 five groups are for Standard/IBM Interface parameter configuration:

RS-232

USB

WEDGE (only for DelfiScan M80 type:130)

PEN EMULATION

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.

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 (Mobile series only) allow configuration of radio control
parameters.

KEYBOARD SETTING

ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING

The reader 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 reader 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 reader, 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 reader 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".

setting the alphanumeric keyboard

ÌFB0TÎ

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 keys not

used, or substituted with each other.

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

barcode set used.

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

The reader signals the end of the procedure with 2 beeps indicating the keys have been
registered.

The keyboard setup functioning is signaled by the LEDs on the cradle. Each key stroke corresponds to
a double blinking of the yellow LED.

By pressing the Backspace key the red LED on the cradle blinks, while the yellow LED stays on.

Do not place the reader onto the cradle during this procedure. Otherwise, the battery
charging will occur modifying the LEDs functioning.

• AIM standard identifiers are not defined for all codes: the X identifier is assigned to the code for

which the standard is not defined. The y value depends on the selected options (check digit
tested or not, check digit tx or not, etc.).

• When customizing the Datalogic Standard code identifiers, 1 or 2 identifier characters can be

defined for each code type. If only 1 identifier character is required, the second character must be
selected as FF (disabled).

• The code identifier can be singly disabled for any code by simply selecting FF as the first

identifier character.
