BC-80X0 / C-8000 CRADLES
Figure C – BC-8000
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a scan finder button. When the
button is pressed, the cradle transmits a “broadcast” message. All properly
configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio “awake”) linked to that
base (through a bind or a join sequence) and within radio range coverage will emit a
beep sequence once every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. A scanner is considered to be
linked when the last transmission ends properly.
The scan finder works only in stand-alone layout (point to point or multiple readers).

INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION
Datalogic renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the PowerScan®
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 a 3 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.

2.8 NETWORK CONNECTIONS
2.8.1 BC-8060 Network Connectors
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.

When wiring the multidrop cables, note the following:
Pin 8 (or 7) can be connected only if the power has to be propagated from a cradle to a
STARGATE™ base station or STAR-Box™ converter via the cable.
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.

2.8.3 Network Termination
The first and last cradles of the chain (the two ends of the bus) must be properly
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 POWERSCAN® M8300 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
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.

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.

3.1.4 C-BOX Layout
In this layout the BC-80X0 cradle is connected by a dedicated cable using the RS-232
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.

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 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. 2.8.3).
See par. 4.6 and 4.7 or the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for system
configuration specifications.

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 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.
2.8.3).

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<xxxx>
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.

4 CONFIGURATION
4.1 CONFIGURATION METHODS
4.1.1 Reading Configuration Barcodes
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration of your reader by
following the setup procedures in this chapter (see par. 4.2 for an overview).
If you wish to change the default settings, this manual provides complete
configuration of your reader in an easy way.
To configure your reader:
1) Open the folded page in Appendix C with the hex-numeric table and keep it
open during the device configuration.
2) Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page
of configuration.
3) Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following the
procedures given for each group.
4) Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of
each page of configuration.
Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are given
in chapter 5.
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.
CONFIGURATION
25
4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host
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

Ì$+$*oÎ
After reading the above code, go to par. 4.8 Interface Selection.
4.4 POWERSCAN® M8300/BC-80X0 POINT-TO-POINT SETUP
A rapid configuration procedure has been devised for point-to-point applications
where a single reader is associated exclusively with its own BC-80x0 base station
and where it is not necessary to set the Date and Time parameters.
A special pre-printed bind-address label provided in the BC-80x0 base station
package can be used to bind the PowerScan® M8300 reader to the base station with
the address coded on the label. The address is also written numerically on the label
to be easily recognized. Valid addresses are in the range from 0000 to 1999. Make
sure that all cradles used in the same area have different addresses.
To rapidly configure your point-to-point application:
1. Apply the bind-address label onto the BC-80x0 base station as indicated in
the BC-80x0 Quick Reference Guide.
2. When the BC-80X0 cradle is connected and powered, read the
Bind-Address label to pair the PowerScan® M8300 to the BC-80X0 cradle.
The green LED on the PowerScan® M8300 will blink: the reader is ready to
be positioned onto the cradle.
3. Firmly position the reader onto the cradle within 10 seconds, a beep will be
emitted, signaling that the BC-80X0 cradle has been paired to the
PowerScan® M8300, and the green LED on the reader will go off.
If it ever becomes necessary to change the reader,
just read the bind-address label applied to the cradle
and position the new reader onto the cradle.
Do not use multiple readers with this configuration
method.
4. Configure the BC-80X0 cradle, refer to the “BC-80X0 Quick Reference
Guide”.

4.9 USB READER CONFIGURATION
The USB interface is available for PowerScan® D8330, BC-80x0 and C-8000 devices
and is compatible with the following Operating Systems:
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 device. 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.
c 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).
d 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.
The device is ready. Successive start-ups will automatically recognize the previously
loaded drivers.

4.10 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 four groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration for all
PowerScan® D8330 series readers and PowerScan® M8300/BC-80X0 Stand-alone
configurations only:
RS-232
USB
WEDGE
PEN EMULATION
NETWORK PARAMETERS are available only for BC-8060 Network configurations.
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.
POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device.
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 (M8300 series only) allow configuration of radio control
parameters.
DISPLAY PARAMETERS (some M8300 series models only) allow configuration of
reader display parameters.

ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING
The device (reader or cradle) 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 device 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 device;
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 device 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".

Read the code above.
Press the keys shown in the following table according to their numerical order.
WEDGE

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

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.

Code selections may be performed according to two different procedures:
- Auto-configuration, allowing an automatic recognition and selection of the code families
to be read;
- Manual configuration, requiring configuration and selection of each code family to be
read.

CONFIGURATION
The following codes do not require reading the Enter and Exit configuration codes.
In auto-configuration mode the reader enters a particular state, during which it reads,
recognizes and saves all information received from the decoding of an existing code (with the
exception of MSI, Code 49 and Code 16k code types). In this way, the code families will be
automatically configured.
It is possible to configure up to 10 code types, whose length is variable and check digit ignored.
If reading different codes belonging to the same family, information about the last code will
overwrite the information about the previous one.
Follow the given procedure to auto-configure the desired code families:
CAUTION
If no code is read during the auto-configuration procedure (step
d
), the
configuration will be empty and therefore the reader will be unable to read
codes.
c Read the following code to enter the auto-configuration mode:
auto-configuration
Ì#+AUTOWÎ
d Read an existing code belonging to the code families that you need to configure.
e Read the following code to save the configuration automatically and return to the reader's
normal functioning:
save auto-configuration
Ì$-?Î
If you need to change the configuration, repeat the auto-configuration procedure, follow the
manual configuration by setting the parameters for each single code family or read the "Restore
Default" code on page 164. Be careful that in the latter case all reader parameters will be
restored.

5.1.2 ACK/NACK Protocol
PowerScan® D8330 Readers
This parameter sets a transmission protocol in which the Host responds to the reader
after every code transmitted. The Host sends an ACK character (06 HEX) in the case
of good reception or the NACK character (15 HEX) requesting re-transmission, in the
case of bad reception.
PowerScan® D8330 Host

data
cable
ACK/NACK enabled
If the reader does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the
RX Timeout (see par. 5.1.4).
When ACK/NACK protocol is enabled, FIFO must be disabled manually, see par.
5.1.3.
PowerScan® M8300 Readers
The transmission protocol takes place between reader, cradle and Host. The reader
passes its data (code read) to the cradle, which sends it to the Host. The
management of responses (from Host or cradle) depends on the Transmission Mode
parameter, see par. 5.9.4.
In the following descriptions the completed transmission is indicated by the Beeper
Control for Radio Response parameter with its default setting to Normal, see par.
5.9.5.
When ACK/NACK is disabled (in One-Way tx mode), there is no control from cradle
to Host transmission, the reader responds with the good reception tone.

requesting re-transmission, in the case of bad reception. Only after the ACK
character is received by the BC-80X0 does the reader respond with the good
reception tone.
If the BC-80X0 does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the
RX Timeout, see par. 5.1.4. See also Radio Protocol Timeout, par. 5.9.1.
When ACK/NACK protocol is enabled, FIFO must be disabled manually, see par.
5.1.3.
5.1.3 FIFO
PowerScan® D8330 Readers
This parameter determines whether data (barcodes) are buffered on a First In First
Out basis allowing faster data collection in certain cases for example when using
slow baud rates and/or hardware handshaking.
If the FIFO buffering is enabled, codes are collected and sent out on the serial line in
the order of acquisition. About 800 characters can be collected (buffer full), after
which the reader signals an error and discards any further codes until the
transmission is restored.
If the FIFO buffering is disabled, each code must be transmitted before another one
can be read.
PowerScan® M8300 Readers
If enabled, the BC-80X0 collects all messages sent by PowerScan® M8300 and
sends them in order of acquisition to the connected Host.
If disabled, PowerScan® M8300 blocks message transmission until the BC-80X0 has
completed transmission towards the Host.

5.1.4 RX Timeout
When the RS-232 interface is selected, the Host can be used to configure the device
by sending it command strings (see Appendix A).
This parameter can be used to automatically end data reception from the Host after
the specified period of time.
If no character is received from the Host, after the timeout expires, any incomplete
string (any string not terminated by <CR>) is flushed from the device buffer.
5.2 PEN PARAMETERS
5.2.1 Minimum Output Pulse
This parameter sets the duration of the output pulse corresponding to the narrowest
element in the barcode. In this way the code resolution is controlled by the signal
sent to the decoder, independently of the physical resolution of the code read.
The shortest pulse (200 μs) corresponds to a high-resolution code emulation and
therefore a shorter transfer speed to the decoder (for decoders able to work on high
resolution codes). Likewise, longer pulses correspond to low-resolution code
emulation and therefore a longer transfer time to the decoder.
5.2.2 Conversion to Code 39 and Code 128
PowerScan® D8330 Series Readers
When using these readers it is possible to convert all codes to Code 39. By disabling
this option the decoded codes will be transmitted in their original format, except for
the following codes, which are ALWAYS converted into Code 39 format:
MSI, Code 11, Code 16K, Code 49, GS1 DataBar™.
PowerScan® M8300 Series Readers
When using these readers it is possible to choose between converting the decoded
codes into either Code 39 format or Code 128 format. It is not possible to disable
conversion.

5.2.3 Overflow
This parameter generates a white space before the first bar and after the last bar of
the code. The selections are as follows:
narrow = space 10 times the minimum output pulse.
medium = space 20 times the minimum output pulse.
wide = space 30 times the minimum output pulse.

5.2.5 Inter-Block Delay
For the PEN Emulation interface, data are sent to the Host in fixed size blocks of 20
characters each. The inter-block delay parameter allows setting a delay between
each block sent to the Host.
5.3 NETWORK PARAMETERS
5.3.1 Slave Address Range First/Last
These parameters define the valid addresses for the Slave cradles on the network.
Valid values are in the range 0 to 1999. However, the maximum number of cradles in
a single network is 16, (including the Master if present). All cradles in the system
must have different addresses.
To reduce system boot time, it is recommended to number the Slaves consecutively,
while it is not necessary that the Master cradle address is contained in the range.
The network addresses correspond to the radio addresses, see par. 4.7.
At system power-up, the Master searches for and initializes all the Slaves found in
the valid address range. During this phase the yellow LED on the Master cradle
blinks. The time to complete the start up procedure varies depending on the
complexity of the network but is typically between a few seconds to a few minutes.
Start up cannot be interrupted. At the end of this procedure the system will be
operative and can collect data from all devices.
CAUTION
All Slaves must be powered up either before or together with the
Master. Slaves successively powered will not be recognized by
the system even if their address is in the specified range.
5.3.2 Network Warning Message
The Master cradle can transmit warning messages to the Host regarding some
network errors.
/*Slave xxxx not responding*/: when the Master can no longer communicate
with the specified Slave previously identified at start up.
/*Frame out of sequence for terminal xxxx*/: if a reader is sending data
packets out of sequence. This can happen if there are transmission problems
on the network (either connection or communication), or if the reader has
correctly transmitted data to a device not on the network (reader configuration
error).
REFERENCES
145
The message is sent in the following format:
"Message" CR LF
5.3.3 Reception Warning Message
The Master cradle can transmit warning messages to the Host regarding wrong
reception of data. Example:
/*Two-Ways Out of Sequence!(.....)*/
This message is transmitted to the Host by the Master cradle when the
Master cradle receives a closing string from the Host for a Two-way tx
communication, but this was either not open or already closed, therefore the
data will be lost. See par. 5.9.4.
5.3.4 Master Header/Terminator Selection
In addition to the standard header/terminator selection, the Master cradle can add its
own header/terminator to the entire message sent to the Host.
In the STAR-System™ network headers and terminators for all RF Devices are
disabled by default.
The Master header and terminator default values are as follows depending on the
interface selection towards the Host:
RS-232: no header, terminator CR-LF
WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER
See par. 5.4.1 and 5.4.2.
5.4 DATA FORMAT
For an overview of Message Formatting see Chapter 6.
5.4.1 Header/Terminator Selection
The header/terminator selection is not effected by the reading of the restore default
code. In fact, header and terminator default values depend on the interface selection:
RS-232: no header, terminator CR-LF
WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER
POWERSCAN® D8330/M8300
146
These default values are always restored through the reading of RS-232 or WEDGE
interface selection code, see chapter 2.
For the WEDGE interface, the following extended keyboard values can also be
configured:

5.4.3 Address Stamping
It is possible to include the reader address in the message sent to the host. The
Reader Address Stamping and the Cradle Address Stamping parameters consist of a
4-digit number in the range 0000 to 1999.
For message output format, refer to chapter 6.
5.4.4 Address Delimiter
The Address Delimiter allows a character to be included to separate the reader
Address stamping field from the next field in the message. Any character can be
included in the hexadecimal range from 00 to FE.
For message output format, refer to chapter 6.
REFERENCES

5.4.5 Time Stamping Format
The Time Stamping parameter sets the format for hour and date information. It consists
of 1 or 2 groups of numbers, each one made up of 6 decimal digits.
For example, setting the Hour/Minutes/Seconds/Month/Day/Year format, the
information 17:03:16 on June 12, 2002 will be formatted as 170316061202.
5.4.6 Time Stamping Delimiter
The Time Stamping Delimiter allows a character to be included to separate the Time
Stamping field from the next field in the message. Any character can be included in
the hexadecimal range from 00 to FE.
5.5 POWER SAVE
5.5.1 Sleep State
When using interfaces other than USB, this mode allows the μP in the reader to enter
a “Sleep” state for minimum power consumption. For D-series readers, this command
is only valid when hardware trigger type is selected.
Before entering Sleep mode, the following are verified:
no commands coming from Host
no data being transmitted to Host
Enter Sleep Timeout ended (see par. 5.5.2)
To exit Sleep mode press the trigger.
For M8300 series readers, sleep state is entered immediately after reading a code
and is not configurable. To exit Sleep mode press the trigger.
When using the USB interface, this mode allows the device to manage Selective
Suspend conditions generated by the Host Operating System in which optimizing low
power consumption (ex. Windows Stand-by). It is possible to exit the Suspend mode
either from the Host (ex. moving the mouse during Stand-by) or through the barcode
reader. The latter, called Remote Wakeup, makes the device wake up the Host
restoring the communication. Remote Wakeup is possible by pressing the trigger.

5.5.2 Enter Sleep Timeout
For readers that have the Sleep state enabled, this timeout determines when the
reader will enter this state.
5.6 READING PARAMETERS
5.6.1 Trigger Signal
This mode determines how the reading phase is controlled when the hardware
trigger operating mode is selected:
trigger active level: the reader goes ON when the trigger is pressed and goes
OFF when it is released
trigger active pulse: the reader goes ON at the first trigger press and goes OFF
only at a second press
5.6.2 Trigger Click
When enabled, it activates a "click" sound upon each trigger pressure.
5.6.3 Trigger-Off Timeout
When this timeout is selected, the reader turns OFF automatically after the desired
period of time.
5.6.4 Reads per Cycle
In general, a reading cycle corresponds to the ON + OFF times of a device.
The resulting effects of this parameter on code reading depend on other related
configuration conditions. Here are the definitions of ON and OFF times.
For readers using the software trigger parameter (FLASH MODE), a reading
cycle corresponds to the flash on + flash off times. Code reading takes place
during the flash on time.
For readers using the hardware trigger parameter, a reading cycle corresponds
to a trigger press (ON) + one of the following OFF events:
trigger release (for trigger active level)
a second trigger press (for trigger active pulse)
trigger-off timeout (see par. 5.6.3).
REFERENCES
157
When one read per cycle is selected, the device decodes only one code during the
ON period and immediately turns the reader OFF. It is only possible to read another
code when the next ON time occurs.
In multiple reads per cycle, the ON period is extended so that the device can
continue decoding codes until an OFF event occurs. For software trigger mode, the
flash on period is immediately reset after each read and therefore extended. If
another code is decoded before the reset flash on period expires, it is again reset
and the effect is that the device remains ON, decoding codes until the flash on or
timeout period expires.
The Safety Time parameter should be used in this case to avoid unwanted multiple
reading of the same code, see par. 5.6.5.
5.6.5 Safety Time
Safety time prevents the device from immediately decoding the same code more
than once. Same code consecutive reading can be disabled requiring the reader to
be removed from the code (no decoding) for at least 400 ms, or a timeout can be set
up to 9.9 seconds before the decoder will accept the same code. Reading is
immediate if the code changes.
The safety time parameter is not applicable when reading stacked codes or when
setting one read per cycle in hardware trigger operating mode, since these settings
require voluntary action by the user.
5.7 DECODING PARAMETERS
CAUTION
These parameters are intended to enhance the decoding capability
of the reader for particular applications. Used incorrectly, they can
degrade the reading performance or increase the possibility of a
decoding error.
5.7.1 Ink-Spread
The ink-spread parameter allows the decoding of codes, which are not perfectly
printed because the page texture tends to absorb the ink.
5.7.2 Overflow Control
The overflow control parameter can be disabled when decoding codes printed on
small surfaces, which do not allow the use of an overflow space.
This command does not affect code families 2/5, Code 128 and Code 93.
POWERSCAN® D8330/M8300
158
5.7.3 Interdigit Control
The interdigit control parameter verifies the interdigit spacing for code families
Code 39 and Codabar.
5.8 ADVANCED FORMATTING
5.8.1 Match Conditions
Selecting an Advanced Formatting and specifying a Match restriction (Code Type,
Code Length, Predefined Characters) the code will be transmitted according to the
order of the defined formats.
For example, defining 2 formats where:
Format 1: Match Code type = Code128
Format 2: Match Code length = 15 and Match with Predefined Characters
“DATA”
a Code128 “DATA:12345ABCDE” with code length 15 will be formatted following the
Format 1.
To send the same code with the Format 2 it is necessary to invert the format order as
follows:
Format 1: Match Code length = 15 and Match with Predefined Characters
“DATA”
Format 2: Match Code type = Code128
5.9 RADIO PARAMETERS (M8300 SERIES ONLY)
5.9.1 Radio Protocol Timeout
This parameter sets the valid time to wait before transmission between the M8300
series reader and BC-80X0 cradle is considered failed.
This parameter should be set taking into consideration the radio traffic (number of
readers in the same area).
If the RS-232 interface is used with ACK/NACK enabled, this parameter should be at
least equal to the RX Timeout parameter for low traffic environments. It should be
increased if there are many readers in the same area.
It can be set between 2 and 19 seconds.
REFERENCES
159
5.9.2 Radio RX Timeout
When the scanner is used in a standalone layout (point-to-point or with multiple
readers) it can be configured to receive “asynchronous” messages from the host at
any time.
There are two modes which can enable the scanner to receive messages from the
host:
1) Enable “2 way” Communication Protocol – After the transmission of each
barcode, the scanner waits for an acknowledgement from the host1. A
message can be sent by the host accompanying this acknowledgement, or
in place of it, to display something on the screen or execute a command
(such as sound a beep sequence, turn an LED on or off, etc.). If no
acknowledgement or message is received from the host within a
programmable timeout duration, the radio will be switched off and an “error
transmission” beep will be sounded.
2) Independent of the Selected Protocol – The scanner can be configured to
keep the radio receiver “awake” for a defined period of time following each
transmission. Any message coming from the host1 before expiration of the
timeout is accepted. The parameter “Radio RX Timeout” is used for
specifying how long the scanner have to wait for a message after receiving
each code transmission.
In this mode, the radio can also be “awakened” by pressing the trigger.
The scanner can receive a message only if it is linked to the Base (i.e. the
scanner has been joined to the Base and has had at last one “valid”
transmission after the last power-on). Setting the “Radio RX timeout” value
to “00” specifies that the radio never goes into sleep mode (always awake
Æ the scanner can receive a message at any time). Choosing this setting
will, of course, consume battery life more quickly.
1See Section 6.1 for Host to Scanner message formatting.
5.9.3 Power-Off Timeout
If this command is enabled, after the desired timeout in hours, the PowerScan®
batteries are disconnected and all power consumption ceases. To restore power,
press the trigger once. The reader will now be ready to read codes.
Power-off does not affect configuration parameters.
POWERSCAN® D8330/M8300
160
5.9.4 Transmission Mode
This parameter determines whether the reader receives responses or messages from
the Host or not. In One-Way tx mode, neither Host nor cradle responds to the reader.
In Two-Way tx mode, the reader must receive a response from either the cradle or
the Host.
The cradle responds (empty message) to the reader, only after good transmission to
the Host, for the following conditions: ACK/NACK enabled, see par. 5.1.2; WEDGE or
PEN interface. For these conditions, it is suggested to prolong the Radio Protocol
Timeout, see par. 5.9.1.
Enabling Two-Way tx mode temporarily disables FIFO buffering see par. 5.1.3.
With ACK/NACK disabled, the Host responds to the reader (through the cradle) with
an answer message (message to reader display or command to reader), see par. 6.1
and the following figure.
BC-80X0 Host

PowerScan®
M8300

Transmission Mode = Two-Ways
Host answer message Host answer

5.9.5 Beeper Control for Radio Response
For M8300 series readers, the data entry good read tone normally results in two
beeps; the first indicates that the reader has decoded the code; the second indicates
whether BC-80X0 has received the data.
This can be changed according to the following selections:
Normal: both good decode and good receptions are signaled (two beeps).
Only Good Decode: only the first beep indicating a good read is signaled.
Only Good Reception: only the second beep indicating a good reception is
signaled.
Off: Neither good read nor good reception beeps are signaled.
For all configurations, any transmission errors will always be signaled.
REFERENCES
161
5.9.6 Single Store
When single store mode is enabled, if the PowerScan® M8300 fails to transmit a
code to the cradle, it enters a special operating mode that prevents the user from
reading barcodes. When such operating mode is entered, the trigger no longer
enables barcode reading but is used to retry transmission itself for the number of
attempts selected in configuration. Once the transmission is successful the reader
returns to the standard mode. If transmission is not successful after the number of
configured attempts, the code is discarded.
Single store may be useful if you often read codes at the limit of the coverage area
and there is a chance that code transmission can fail. In such case single store
allows you to move to a more favorable position or location (i.e. closer to the cradle)
and retry transmission without the necessity of re-reading the code since it is already
stored in the reader.
Conversely, if single store is disabled, and the user wants to retry transmission, the
code must be read again, and therefore the attempt must be made from basically the
same location. If the user gives up, he does not know if the transaction was
successful. (Actually the transmission could have been successful but the cradle may
have been unable to acknowledge the message). There are applications in which
there is no risk of transmission failure. In such cases it may be better to disable
single store so that the user perceives a more consistent behavior of the trigger in
that it always corresponds to code reading.
5.9.7 Batch Mode
This Operating Mode allows storing read codes in the internal reader RAM memory.
The stored codes are transmitted to the base station at a later time according to the
type of batch mode selected.
Batch mode can be enabled either manually (normal batch mode) or automatically.
Normal batch mode temporarily suspends radio communication between reader and
base station allowing codes to be stored in the reader on a FIFO basis. This can be
useful for example, if codes must be read from a location where there is no radio
network. Upon returning to the system working area, this mode requires reading the
Start Normal Batch Transmission barcode to successively transmit the list of
stored codes to the base station. The FIFO management assures that the first code
read will be the first code to be transmitted to the base station.
The Delete Batch Data barcode allows canceling all barcode data stored in the
reader.
Automatic batch mode allows codes to be stored in the reader on a FIFO basis
whenever the reader is out of radio range. In this case radio communication is not
suspended and transmission is attempted after each code read. If transmission
POWERSCAN® D8330/M8300
162
cannot be successfully completed, then the code is added to the list. When the
reader returns in range, transmission of the codes to the base station resumes
automatically, according to the selected communication protocol, upon simply
pressing and releasing the trigger or by successfully reading a new code.
Each code is listed on the reader display together with its identifying position number
and its total number of characters. The three keys under the display have the
following function in batch mode:
Key Function
(left) Key Scroll up in list
ENTER (center) Key Delete highlighted code
(right) Key Scroll down in list
In batch mode, the selected Transmission Mode determines the behavior of the
reader at the time the list of codes is transmitted. If One-way mode is enabled, the
codes are transmitted one after the other without interruption. In Two-way mode,
after transmitting each code, the reader waits for the Host answer message to be
shown on the display. Therefore, in Two-way transmission mode and normal batch
mode, the Start Normal Batch Transmission barcode must be read after each code
to continue, whereas with automatic batch mode just pull and release the trigger after
each code.
The code, which has a transmission pending, is shown on the display in reverse
video indicating that it cannot be deleted.
5.9.8 Find Me (PowerScan® M8300 only)
If enabled, after a timeout of a few minutes in which PowerScan® M8300 is not used,
it enters stand-by mode and its green LED starts blinking in order to signal its
location.

5.10 DISPLAY PARAMETERS (SOME M8300 MODELS ONLY)
5.10.1 Display Mode
The user can control the reader display behavior according to the following
selections:
Normal mode: When a barcode is read with the reader:
The code is sent to the Host.
The reader display is not cleared. Therefore if any previous data was displayed
on the reader screen it remains.
There is no Local Echo to the reader display.
Clear Display After Decode mode: When a barcode is read with the reader:
The code is sent to the Host.
The reader display is cleared. Therefore if any previous data was displayed on
the reader screen it is cancelled and the screen remains blank.
There is no Local Echo of the code to the reader display.
Local Echo mode: When a barcode is read with the reader:
The code is sent to the Host.
The reader display is cleared.
The code is also sent to the reader display (Local Echo).
The cursor is positioned after the last printed character on the reader display.
Host messages sent to the reader are always written to the reader display.

6 MESSAGE FORMATTING
The system always provides scanner to host data communication using the following
message formatting:
Output Message from PowerScan® D8330 or PowerScan® M8300 Stand-alone
Towards Host
[Header] [Scanner_Addr] [Scanner_Addr_delimiter] ] [Cradle_Addr] [Cradle_Addr_delimiter]
[Time stamp] [Ts_delimiter] [Code ID] [Code Length] CODE [Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
Output Message from PowerScan® M8300 STAR-System™ Towards Host
[Time stamp] [Ts_delimiter] [Header] [Code ID] [Code Length] CODE [Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
For PowerScan® M8300 models with display, if the RS-232 interface is selected for
communication between the Host and the BC-80X0 cradle, then the following
additional communications between Host and Scanner can occur:
The Host can send messages to any scanner associated with that cradle to
control the Scanner’s display, LEDs and beeper.
The Scanner can send up to 3 user-defined characters to the Host using the 3
command keys on the Scanner.
These communications and their relative message formatting are detailed in the
following paragraphs.
6.1 MESSAGES FROM HOST TO READER
The general format to enable the Scanner for a 2 way communication is:
[Scanner_Addr] [Scanner_Addr_delimiter] MESSAGE [CR]
NOTE:
If you have enabled the Scanner Address Stamping or the Scanner Address
Delimiter, you must specify them in every message.
POWERSCAN® D8330/M8300
172
The general format for other asynchronous messages is:
[Scanner_Addr] [Scanner_Addr_delimiter] [DC2] MESSAGE [CR]
where DC2 is ASCII 0x12 (^R) character.
If you have not enabled the Scanner Address Stamping or the Scanner Address
Delimiter, you must not specify them. In this case all messages will be implicitly
addressed to the 'binded' Scanner of the cradle directly connected to the serial
line.
The Scanner can only receive messages if two-way mode is enabled. (See par.
5.9.4, “Transmission Mode”, command is on page 159).
Messages cannot start with '$+' because they would be interpreted as a
configuration command.
You can send a message to the Scanner only while it is on. This happens when
it has sent a message to the host and the radio timeout has not yet expired. (See
par. 5.9.1, "Radio Protocol Timeout"; command is on page 130).
If you want to control the Scanner's beeper from the host, you will also probably
want to disable the good transmission beep that is emitted when the code is
received from the cradle. (See command on page 86).
The message field can store plain text and escape sequences.
Escape sequences are interpreted as commands.
Plain text is directly printed on the display. If writing beyond the end of line, the
display does not wrap automatically. Extra characters are ignored. Control
characters are not interpreted (i.e. LF, FF, etc.).

MESSAGE FORMATTING
173
The cursor row position is not affected by the currently selected font. The
display always has 4 rows, so when writing with the large font, actually two rows
are written to: the current one and the one below it. You will need two ESC E
commands to step from one row to the next when using the large font.
The cursor column position is affected by the currently selected font. Therefore,
column 6 is 36 pixels from the left border only if you last selected the 6x8 font;
otherwise it could be 48 or 72 pixels from the left border.
6.1.2 Font Selection
ESC [ 0 m Normal mode
ESC [ 7 m Reverse mode
ESC # 4 Large font: subsequent characters are written on the current row and
the row below it using the 12x16 font which allows for two rows of
eight characters on the display.
ESC # 5 Normal font: subsequent characters are written using the 6x8 font,
which allows for four rows of sixteen characters on the display.
ESC # 7 Medium font: subsequent characters are written using the 8x8 font,
which allows for four rows of twelve characters on the display.
6.1.3 Clearing Display

The LED control escape sequences are intended to activate the LEDs for short
periods of time and can be used in combination with the Beeper. The LED and
Beeper will be controlled by the system after the entire command sequence is
interpreted.
Example:
ESC [ 6 q ESC [ 3 q ESC [ 7 q Turns on the green LED, emits a good read tone, and

6.2 MESSAGES FROM SCANNER COMMAND KEYS
The PowerScan® M8300 series scanners with display have 3 command keys that can
each be associated with a character to send to the host.
By pressing the keys on the scanner, the associated character with its relative
message formatting is sent to the Host. For example, keys can be used to select
items from a menu sent to the scanner display by the application program.
The general format is:
[Header] [Scanner_Addr] [Scanner_Addr_delimiter] ] [Cradle_Addr] [Cradle_Addr_delimiter]
[Time stamp] [Ts_delimiter] [Code ID] [Code Length] KeyID [Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
The messages are handled by the system as if they were barcodes, that's why KeyID
can have so many fields appended to it. If in your application there is some chance of
reading a 1-char barcode identical to KeyID, the way you can distinguish between
the two is to enable the Code ID: The KeyID is the only 1-character long EAN 8
code.
Refer to par. 5.3 for a compete description of the optional message fields in square
brackets.

reader has decoded the code, the second indicates whether BC-80X0 has received
the data. See also par. 5.9.5.

HOST CONFIGURATION STRINGS

A HOST CONFIGURATION STRINGS
In this section we provide a description of how to modify the device configuration
using serial strings sent from the Host.
This method requires the RS-232 interface.
The device configuration can be changed by receiving commands from the Host
through the serial interface. When this method is used, the programming sequence
format is the following:
Command
Character sequence in following tables
CR$-$+
Carriage return character (0D Hex.)
Enter configuration environment
Exit and Save configuration
Example:
Beeper tone 1
Beeper low intensity
BG1 $- CR
Carriage return character (0D Hex.)
Exit and save new configuration
AC410132BH0
Matrix 2/5 3 bars: no check digit,
variable length code from 1 to 32 characters
$+
Enter configuration environment
Multiple command programming sequence:
Each configuration parameter setting removes the condition previously active for that
parameter.
NOTE
The device buffer can contain about 400 characters. If your
programming string goes over this value, you must split it into separate
groups and send each group after a delay of at least 3 seconds to give
the reader time to empty the buffer and interpret the commands.
