About DataMan 8000
The DataMan 8000 series of readers offers the industry’s most advanced
technology for reading 1D and 2D codes regardless of size, quality, printing
method or surface, and is the only handheld ID reader that offers Industrial
Ethernet communication and liquid lens technology.
The DataMan 8000 series is available in two models, each with patented
1DMax and 2DMax algorithms, liquid lens technology, and future-proof modular
communication slide-ins with optional Industrial Ethernet capability.
The DataMan 8500 readers use Cognex’s patented
UltraLight® technology for superior image formation
on any mark type and surface. UltraLight illumination
provides dark eld, bright eld and diffuse lighting all
in one electronically controlled light.
The DataMan 8100 readers feature integrated bright
eld illumination ideal for applications that require
superior performance without specialty lighting.
Both models are available with the following communication options:
An intelligent base station is also provided when the DataMan 8000
reader uses the wireless communication module. The base station acts
as a router between the reader and your computer or network.

how any output data should be formatted.
The same conguration le can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the le
does not contain identication information such as the IP address or device
name of the reader used to create it.
A reader can also generate a Cognex device conguration (.cdc) le, which
stores the set of runtime parameters plus any identication data, such as
the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and so on. Cognex
recommends generating a device conguration le for each reader to allow you
to restore a reader to its operating state with minimal effort.

If your reader does not appear in the Setup Tool’s list of network
devices, you may need to adjust your network settings.
First check your Ethernet connection and click Refresh in the Setup
Tool. Next, scan the Enable DHCP code below (which you can also
nd in the DataMan Reader Conguration Codes document available
from the Windows Start menu). This might allow the reader to acquire
a suitable IP address from a DHCP server on your subnet.
If the reader still does not appear, you can use either the Add Device
or Force Network Settings options in the Setup Tool.
If you know the IP address of the reader, use the Add Device option.
If you do not know the IP address, use the Force Network Settings
options. Either method should allow the DataMan 8000 reader to
appear in the list of Network devices so that you can connect to it
through the Setup Tool and your Ethernet connection.
If none of the above helps, reset your reader to factory defaults by
scanning the Reser Scanner to Factory Defaults code below.

Wireless Reader: Buffering Data
When you are within the wireless range of the base station, your
wireless reader sends decoded data to your PC through the base station,
just as if you used a tethered reader. You can also see the decoded
images in the Setup Tool, if it is running and connected to the reader.
When you leave the wireless range, however, you lose connection to
your PC, but you can still keep reading codes. The decoded data is saved
in the buffer of the reader.
This buffered data appears on your PC again when you come back within
the wireless range, but ONLY IF you were connected to a terminal
program when you left the wireless range.
Buffered read results on the reader are not displayed in the Setup Tool;
they are only transmitted over an existing keyboard emulation, RS-232
Serial or TCP/IP Telnet connection. NOTE that the images acquired by
the reader when it is out of wireless range are never saved, and can not
be retrieved.
Open a connection with the reader in a terminal program so that you
gain the buffered data when wireless connection is established again.

communication type:

When the reader is ofine, good reads are indicated with 2 short beeps
and the selected good read status indicator color (green by deafult).
When you leave the wireless range, you can still keep reading codes.

Field of View and Reading Distances
There is a range of reading distances available for different code sizes
and focus positions. Select a focus position that allows you to read the
desired code sizes at the desired working distance.
• If your application has a consistent reading range, set the focus
range to a limited depth of eld with no steps (for example, set it to
20) or with limited steps (for example, set it to 2 steps between 0
and 30). This way you can achieve fast performance.
• If your application has a variety of code types and sizes, set the
focus range to a wider depth of eld with increased number of steps
(for example, set it to 6 steps between 0 and 200). This way you can
get better coverage.
For a map of the eld of view and reading distances, see pages 42-43.
5. Place the battery in the spare battery charger in the direction of the small

The DataMan 8000 trigger mode determines when the reader attempts to read
a code. Use the Setup Tool, or the appropriate reader conguration codes, to
change trigger types.
The following trigger types are supported:
• Presentation: The laser aimer is always on. When motion is detected in front
of the reader, the reader will turn on and scan for a symbol. The reader
relies on an internal timing mechanism to acquire images.
• Manual (default): Begins acquiring images when you press the trigger
button on the reader, and continues acquiring images until a symbol is found
and decoded or you release the button.
