family: PowerScan® D8330 and PowerScan® M8300. 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 PowerScan® 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 PowerScan® 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 PowerScan® powerful engine. In all applications where mobility is a value, the new PowerScan® M8300 represents the key to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area. PowerScan® M8300 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. PowerScan® M8300 also includes a display and either a 3 or 16-key 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 reader is associated with its own base station; • Multipoint: up to 32 readers transmit data to one base station; • Network: to cover a wide area, connecting up to 16 bases and 512 readers simultaneously working in automatic roaming. PowerScan® M8300 is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the new Datalogic RF narrow band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of narrow band devices on the market. Your PowerScan® reader is supplied with its own Quick Reference Guide, which provides connection, diagrams, reading diagrams, basic application parameter settings, default values, and specific technical features. You can use either the Quick Reference Guide 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.

BC-80X0 Connectors The BC-80X0 incorporates a multi-standard interface, which can be connected to a Host by simply plugging the correct interface cable into the Host connector, placed on the base of the cradle. In addition the cradle must be connected to an external power supply. Disconnecting the BC-80X0 Cable To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the hole corresponding to the Host connector on the body of the cradle. Push down on the clip while unplugging the cable. Interface Cable Power

The multidrop network is a bus system which is propagated from one BC-8060 cradle to another using individual cables. This is possible thanks to the RS-485 connector on the front panel of the cradle. All cradles are connected together within the bus system through the Datalogic RS-485 splitter cable (CAB-428, part number 90A051950), which must be inserted in the RS-485 cradle connector. Obviously cable length is to be kept to a minimum as with all bus systems. Power Supply RS-485 (BC-8060only) MULTI-INTERFACE RS-232, USB, Wedge, PEN Emulation

Pins 5 (or 4) should always be connected as reference ground. To avoid excessive voltage drop, it is recommended not to propagate power between BC-8060 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. Data only Data and Power Supply Pin 1

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.

2.9.1 Battery Charging Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the PowerScan® M8300 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 PowerScan® M8300 Batteries To change the batteries in your PowerScan® M8300 scanner, press the black button or unscrew the fixing screw on the handle cover and extract the battery pack from the reader handle. When the batteries are extracted from the scanner, the timer maintains the current hour and date for about 1 minute. NOTE Replace the old battery pack with a new one by inserting it within the reader handle and pushing it until it clicks. Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force. WARNING 1 2

LAYOUTS There are two basic system layouts that can be employed: Stand-alone systems (including Point-to-Point layouts) and Multidrop STAR-System™ Networks. 3.1 STAND-ALONE LAYOUTS 3.1.1 Point-to-Point Reader Layout 3.1.2 Stand-Alone Layout with Multiple Readers In stand-alone systems, each cradle is connected to a single Host.

19 3.1.3 Multiple Stand-Alone Layouts Many stand-alone connections can operate in the same physical area without interference, provided all readers and cradles in the system have different addresses. Multiple Stand-alone Systems in the Same Area Since the cradles can communicate to multiple PowerScan® M8300 readers, you might find it useful to employ one or more C-8000 battery chargers in addition to the BC-80X0 cradle, so that the battery re-charging operation can be performed for several scanners at the same time.

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 RS-232, RS-485, Profibus. JOIN BIND BC-80X0 C-Box Scanner System cables to Host PowerScan® M8300

21 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. PowerScan® M8300 readers are compatible with STAR-System™ networks. These networks provide seamless active roaming for any RF reading device in the system. 3.2.1 Host Master Layout A. Host Master with STAR-Link™ B. STAR-Box™ converter C. BC-8060 slave cradles D. STARGATE™ base stations 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 RS-232 to a STAR-Box™ converter, which is connected to the first slave in the RS-485 network. In this way the base stations provide communications between a single Host and all 2.8.3 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. ). See par. 4.6 and 4.7 or the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for system configuration specifications.

A. Host B. BC-8060 Master cradle C. BC-8060 Slave cradles D. STARGATE™ base station Example Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with BC-8060 as Master In this layout an BC-8060 cradle acts as the Master. The Host is connected to the BC-8060 Master using any one of the multi-standard interfaces (RS-232, USB, WEDGE, or PEN Emulation). The Master is then connected to the slaves in the RS-485 network. In this way the slave cradles provide communications between a single Host and all 2.8.3 readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations can also be used as slaves in this network. The devices at the ends of the network must be terminated (see par. ). See pars. 4.6 and 4.7 or the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for system configuration specifications.

23 3.2.3 Master BC-8060 Network Troubleshooting Two diagnostic strings can be sent via RS-232 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 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: BC-80X0 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.

Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are given in chapter 1. 4.1.2 Using Datalogic Aladdin™ Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user- friendly configuration method via the RS-232/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. 5.14.

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS-232 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 PowerScan® D8330 Series readers, follow the setup procedures in pars. 4.3, and 4.8. For PowerScan® M8300 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 BC-80X0 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 RS-485 network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the BC-8000 cradle (par. 4.6 and par. 4.7). Proceed as shown in the following diagram: Begin Setup by choosing the setup procedure for your PowerScan® reader as indicated below.

During this phase normal operations are suspended (the LED on the PowerScan® D8330 reader blinks). Two basic conditions must be met before the device is ready, 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 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 at 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 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.scanning.datalogic.com .
