Install DataMan 100 Software

Reading your First Code

1. Make sure your PC meets these system requirements:

The DataMan 100 is pre-configured for Manual triggering and symbology
discrimination. To verify that your reader is operational, click on the
Results Display step in the Setup Tool, place a code in front of the reader,
and press the black trigger button. The Setup Tool should display the
image and the decoded string.

• Microsoft® Windows XP
• Pentium CPU 500 MHz or faster
• .NET 1.1 SP1 (installed automatically)
2. Insert CD-ROM and follow the on-screen prompts.
3. Connect the DataMan 100 to your PC using the supplied USB cable.
4. Launch the Setup Tool. Select the Connect to Reader step, then
click Scan Ports. Make sure a port that says (DM100) is selected,
then click Connect.



Troubleshooting
If you are unable to read a code, verify that
• You have scanned the correct connection code on page 14.
• If you are using your PC’s USB to power the DataMan 100, make sure
that your PC’s USB port can supply enough power (2.5W peak). Connect
the DataMan 100 power supply (DM100-PWR-000) to the USB adapter
cable if needed.
• If you are using a direct USB connection, make sure that the USB
adapter cable is connected to the DataMan 100 before you connect the
USB cable to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug from
the USB cable while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver crash
on the PC.
• If you are using a USB connection with the I/O module, make sure that
the DataMan 100 is connected to the I/O module before you connect
the I/O module to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug
from the I/O module while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver
crash on the PC.



Setting DataMan 100 Focus Position

USB Connections

RS-232 Connections

When connected to a PC over USB, the DataMan 100 appears as either a
COM port or as a standard USB keyboard. You control the connection type by
scanning the appropriate connection code

You can connect the DataMan 100 to a PC or other device over a standard
RS-232 serial connection. NOTE: You must supply external power to use
this connection type.

DataMan 100 Trigger Types

DataMan 100 Trigger Modes

DataMan decodes when you tell it to. You can trigger a read by

DataMan supports three trigger modes. The trigger mode determines what
happens when a trigger signal is received.

1

Pressing and holding the trigger
button.

2
3
4

18

1

In Single Trigger Mode, DataMan 100 acquires and
attempts to decode an image as soon as the trigger is
received. You can use the setup tool to define a trigger
delay.

Sending a pulse on Input-0 line.

2

In Presentation Mode, continuously scans for and
attempts to decode symbols. Whenever a symbol is present
in the field of view, DataMan 100 decodes it. You can specify
a latency period between read attempts, and you can
configure the DataMan 100 to not decode the same code
multiple times using the setup tool.

3

In Manual Trigger Mode, DataMan continuously acquires
and attempts to decode images as long as the trigger button
is held down.

Sending a command on
the RS-232 serial line. (You
must be using the RS-232
communications type.

Clicking the
Trigger button in
the Setup tool.
