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
PowerScan ™ D8330 and PowerScan ™ M8300 offer unsurpassed robustness and ergonomics: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs assist in 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. Patented Puzzle Solver
Technology™ adds further strength to the PowerScan’s 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-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 Psion 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.

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.

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.

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 section

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.

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 section 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:
Print Appendix C with the hex-numeric table and keep it open during the device configuration.
Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page of configuration.
Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following the procedures given for each group.
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 the References section.
4.1.2
Using the Original Manufacturer’s Datalogic Aladdin™
The original manufacturer’s 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 original manufacturer’s 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 section 5.14.

CONFIGURATION
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.
SETUP PROCEDURES
For PowerScan ™ D8330 Series readers, follow the setup procedures in sections 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 (section 4.5), or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem
(section 4.5.2).
STAR-System™ applications allow communication with the Host through a
RS-485 network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the BC-8000 cradle (sections 4.6 and 4.7).
Proceed as shown in the following diagram:

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.

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)
USB Start-up
4690 Operating System
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.
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

KEYBOARD SETTING
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".

Some ASCII characters may be missing, depending on the keyboard type. 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 with 2 beeps to indicate 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 Manufacturer 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.
AUTO-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:
If no code is read during the auto-configuration procedure (step ), the configuration will be empty and therefore the reader will be unable to read codes.
CAUTION
Read the following code to enter the auto-configuration mode:

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 data cable
Host
ACK or NACK
ACK/NACK enabled
If the reader does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the
RX Timeout (see section 5.1.4).
When ACK/NACK protocol is enabled, FIFO must be disabled manually, see section
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 section 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 section
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.

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 section 5.1.4. See also Radio Protocol Timeout, section 5.9.1.
When ACK/NACK protocol is enabled, FIFO must be disabled manually, see section
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
s) 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 = wide = space 20 times the minimum output pulse. space 30 times the minimum output pulse.
5.2.4

The following state diagrams describe the different output and idle level combinations for Pen emulation: idle bar

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 section 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.
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.
CAUTION
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).
143
POWERSCAN
™
D8330/M8300
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 section 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 sections 5.4.1 and 5.4.2.
144

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
These default values are always restored through the reading of RS-232 or WEDGE interface selection code, see chapter 2.

POWER SAVE
5.5.1
Sleep State
When using interfaces other than USB, this mode allows the P 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 section 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.
155
POWERSCAN™ D8330/M8300
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
) a second trigger press (for trigger active pulse ) trigger-off timeout (see section 5.6.3).
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.
156
REFERENCES
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 section 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
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.
CAUTION
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.
157
POWERSCAN™ D8330/M8300
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.

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 host
1
. 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 the scanner can receive a message at
any time). Choosing this setting will, of course, consume battery life more quickly.
1 See Section 6.2 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.
159
POWERSCAN™ D8330/M8300
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 section 5.1.2; WEDGE
or PEN interface. For these conditions, it is suggested to prolong the Radio Protocol
Timeout, see section 5.9.1.
Enabling Two-Way tx mode temporarily disables FIFO buffering see section 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 section
6.2 and the following figure.
Transmission Mode = Two-Ways data data cable
Host
PowerScan ®
M8300
BC-80X0

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.

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 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 (first in, first out) 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 cannot be successfully completed, then the code is added to the list. When the reader
161
POWERSCAN™ D8330/M8300 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.
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.
3-KEY MODEL
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:

MESSAGE FORMATTING
6.1
STANDARD MESSAGE FORMATTING
The system always provides scanner to host data communication using the following message formatting:
Output Message from PowerScan ™ D8330 or standard 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.
171
POWERSCAN
™
D8330/M8300
6.2
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.
The 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 section
5.9.4, “Transmission Mode”, the 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 section 5.9.1, "Radio Protocol Timeout"; command is on page 129).
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 85).
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.).

NOTES:
Since CR is used as the message terminator, you must use ESC [ G or ESC E to print a CR.
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.

MESSAGES FROM SCANNER COMMAND KEYS
6.3.1
PowerScan M8300 keypad
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 section 5.3 for a compete description of the optional message fields in square brackets.
The default characters associated with each key ( KeyID ) are shown in the following table:

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.
NOTE
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 $- CR
Carriage return character (0D Hex)
Exit and Save configuration
$+ BH0
Character sequence in following tables
Enter configuration environment
Example:
Multiple command programming sequence:
BG1 AC410132 $CR
Carriage return character (0D Hex)
Exit and save new configuration
Matrix 2/5 3 bars: no check digit, variable length code from 1 to 32 characters
Beeper tone 1
Beeper low intensity
Enter configuration environment
Each configuration parameter setting removes the condition previously active for that parameter.
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.
