Targeting and Decoding
The POWERSCAN D8590 features simple blue targeting LEDs to indicate optimal read range.
1.
Hold the imager about 6” from the mark and align the blue targeting pattern as shown below.
2. Move the front of the imager steadily downward toward the mark and parallel to the
mark surface.
3. The imager will decode the mark at the optimal read distance – typically from the point
of contact to .50” (contact – 12.70 mm).

Basic Operations
Scanning Guidelines
The POWERSCAN D8590 makes reading the most difficult direct part marks easy. The
following guidelines will help ensure optimal performance:
•
In the default illumination setup, allow the POWERSCAN D8590 to run through its illumination
sequences before terminating the read cycle. The POWERSCAN D8590 captures several
images with each illumination zone, evaluating the optimum settings. If reading the
same part or same part type, the POWERSCAN D8590 always uses the most recent
good read settings as a starting point so subsequent reads will be faster.
• Hold the POWERSCAN D8590 still – d
o not swipe or
move the imager. Pull the trigger
and hold until a read is indicated by the green LED.
• Hold the POWERSCAN D8590 such that its front surface is pa
rallel to the mark surface,
and the mark is centered. Unlike other readers that require a tilt to read, the POWERSCAN
D8590 is designed to operate this way.
Correct – Move in steadily with front
of imager parallel to surface.
• The POWERSCAN D8590 features omnidirectional decoding. Centering the mark within
the field of view will yield the best decode performance.

Illumination System
The POWERSCAN D8590 ensures reliable decoding of the toughest direct part marks.
Through an advanced combination of low angle (dark field) and multi-colored dome (bright
field) illumination techniques, the imager provides even illumination of flat, shiny surfaces,
enhancing embossed features, or differentiating features on curved surfaces.
Dome Illumination
Low Angle Illumination
Anti-Reflective Coated Window
Low Angle (Dark Field) Illumination
The low angle illumination zone provides what is called “dark field” illumination, ideal for
very low-contrast marks such as laser-embossed or engraved marks. This zone is useful
on both specular and non-specular surfaces and emphasizes surface texture. The optimum
lighting angle for most marks is 30 degrees, which occurs when the imager is approximately
0.25” away from the target mark. This illumination zone actually directs light inward at an
angle, which varies with the actual working distance and provides a good source of low
angle illumination from contact (5 degrees) to about 0.5 inch (45 degrees). Beyond this
working distance for low angle illumination the illumination zone converts to a general purpose
illuminator due to a portion of the illumination passing straight through the prism. This can
be useful in providing “bright field” illumination. This zone was designed for reading larger
marks such as 1D symbols at longer working distances.

Dome Illumination
Dome illumination provides diffused, uniform light. The large, solid angle of illumination
supports imaging of shiny flat surfaces or curved surfaces. This zone is useful on specular
and non-specular surfaces, ideal for de-emphasizing surface texture and elevation
(curves). The dome provides the widest area of coverage at close working distances. It is
important to note that for marks that are a large percentage of the diameter of a curved
surface, closer distances will provide the best performance. In addition to illuminating
marks on curved surfaces, dome illumination also provides diffuse, even bright field illumination,
which will provide thorough coverage on a wide variety of direct part marks.
Dome Illumination
Blue Dome vs. Red Dome Illumination
The POWERSCAN D8590 features two colors of dome illumination to add another dimension
of decode optimization for direct part marks. Using the opposite light spectrum as a part’s
surface color will make the part feature appear darker. Using the same light spectrum will
make the part feature appear lighter. The example below shows a green part surface with
a laser-etched Data Matrix.
Blue Dome Illumination Red Dome Illumination
POWERSCAN D8590 User’s Manual 3-9
Basic Operations
Illumination Sequence
The POWERSCAN D8590 is configured to provide the broadest reading capabilities “out
of the box”. Just point and shoot to read most marks. This is achieved by combining the
illumination system with advanced decode algorithms. The POWERSCAN D8590 automatically
cycles through a default combination of the illumination zones each time the user pulls the
trigger to decode a mark. The imager will then lock onto the settings used in the last good
read and move those to the first step in the next sequence.
The POWERSCAN D8590 has four
steps defined
in this default illumination sequence:
1. Low Angle Illumination with Low Resolution Image
Low Angle
Illumination
2. Low Angle Illumination with Full Resolution Image
Low Angle
Illumination
3. Blue Dome Illumination
Blue Dome
Illumination
4. Red Dome Illumination
Red Dome
Illumination
With ESP Software, the user can change this sequence or define a different sequence. It
is possible to have one step to as many as eight steps defined. ESP allows the user to
evaluate the best settings.
Note: Decode speed can be improved with fewer illumination s
teps.
Note: Hovering over an uploaded image in ESP with your cursor will display the
settings
used to capture the image.
In addition to the general purpose sequence, a special sequ
ence has been defined for dot
peen marks. This adds additional X-Mode pre-processing to the sequence steps, allowing
you to read some of the most challenging direct part marks with ease.

Communications Overview
All POWERSCAN D8590 imagers are shipped with a USB cable. You can also add RS-232
capabilities and configure your imager accordingly. Whenever you default the imager, it
will return to the default settings of whichever interface you are using. Defaulting the imager
does not remove preamble and postamble formatting.
Note:
You must use USB Co
nnect Mode or RS-232 Connect Mode to connect to ESP.
Once the imager is connected to ESP, you can select your
communications mode and set
other communication parameters.
USB

Some
ESP
Communications options are unique to the software, and do not have corresponding
programming symbols. These options are explained below.
Reader Packet Format
Data that is sent from the imager to the host in Raw format is sent without packet framing
or check characters. One-Way communication is in a raw format, no response is expected
from the host, and data is not resent.
Packetized data
is sent with framing (a preamble communicating the amount of data to be
transmitted, and a postamble containing error detection) and check characters, and a
response is expected from the host. Two-Way communication is in packet format.
Reader to Host Packet Size
The Reader to Host Packet Size is the amount of data (in bytes) that is sent to the host in
packet format. This feature allows you to set the maximum allowable packet size.
Expect Host Response
When Expect Host Response is enabled, the imager will re-transmit data if it doesn’t
receive acknowledgement from the host.
Reader Send Retry Count
Reader Send Retry Count sets the number of times the imager will re-transmit data
before abandoning further send attempts. The minimum retry count is 1, which represents
the initial transmission.
Host Acknowledgement Timeout
The Host Acknowledgement Timeout is the amount of time (in seconds) that the imager
will wait for an acknowledgement from the host before re-sending data.

Gain Control
Gain Control
Gain Control is a system that controls gain in the captured image—how bright or dark the
resulting image will be. The higher the gain, the brighter the image.
When the POWERSCAN D8590 is set to Adaptive mode, it will
automatically maintain the
proper setting for gain based on the captured image in order to produce the best setting to
perform a decode. In the Manual setting the gain is fixed to whatever value is set by gain
slider controls on the Illumination tab in I/O Parameters.
POWERSCAN D8590 User’s Manual 7-5
I/O Parameters
Exposure
The larger the Exposure value, the longer the pixels in the candidate image are exposed,
allowing the imager to collect more light.
Note: A larger exposure value may cause blurred images.
7-6 POWERSCAN D8590 User’s Manual
Data Validation
Data Validation
Data Validation is used to confirm that a decoded string from the imager has complied
with a particular company, industry, or ISO standard. POWERSCAN D8590 Data Validation
is compliant with Department of Defense Unique Identification and ISO/IEC 15434 (Information
Technology – Transfer Syntax for High-Capacity ADC Media) requirements.
Unique Identification
Unique Identification is a mandatory Department of Defense (DoD) requirement on all
solicitations issued January 1, 2004 or later. This policy mandates the use of Unique Item
Identifiers (UIIs) encoded within Data Matrix symbols on equipment and parts procured by
DoD. The POWERSCAN D8590 complies with Department of Defense Standard Practice
Identification (MIL-STD-130).
Once the imager decodes the Data Matrix symbol,
and if Unique Item Identifier (UII),
Current
Part Number (CPN), and Lot/Batch Number (LBN) are turned on, the POWERSCAN
D8590 checks the ISO/IEC 15434 syntax with ISO/IEC 15418 (ANSI MH10.8.2 – AI and
DI) and ISO/IEC 21849 (ATA – TEI) semantics to construct the UII, CPN, and LBN.
Unique Identification Features
The following data output options are applicable to Data Matrix ECC 200 symbols only and
have no effect on other symbologies.
UII Enabled Allows the imager to read only message streams encoded in Data Matrix
ECC 200 symbols, then to construct and output a UII string. The message
streams include validation of Unique Item Identifier (UII), Current Part
Number (CPN), and Lot/Batch Number (LBN) strings. When the imager
decodes a symbol but the symbol data does not compy with UII format, it
will stop capturing images and the green LED will illuminate without
beeping, vibrating, or outputing the string.
UII Enabled with
Pass Through
Allows the imager to read UII messages in Data Matrix ECC 200 symbols
and
non-UII messages in any type of symbols. The imager’s behavior is
the same as with UII Enabled.
UII Enabled with
Error Messages
Allows the imager to read UII messages in Data Matrix ECC 200 symbols
and output det
ailed information such as construction type, data components,
or error messages. The imager’s behavior is the same as with UII
Enabled.
Data Validation
Disabled
Disables both UII and ISO/IEC 15434 data validation.

Low Resolution Image
Low Resolution Image reduces the number of pixels in the image by 50%, which is
helpful when the symbol to be decoded has a large number of pixels per element (e.g. a
large Data Matrix with a 100 mil cell size, or a 1D symbol with large bar widths). This
feature improves processing speed, because the image sizes are smaller.
Note:
Low Resolution with Low Angle is the first step in the POWERSCAN D8590’s illumination

Advanced
The Advanced tab in Utilities features an archive of all batch files containing imager
configuration commands. Each batch file’s extension is .crb, and each file contains the
fundamental code for programming the imager. Notice that the names of the batch files
correspond with the numbers beneath all the Data Matrix configuration symbols.
This tool allows you to use the batch file data to cr
eate yo
ur own symbols, or to collect only
the files that you use frequently to configure the imager for your application.
The Download Collection and Save Collection
As... buttons allow you to acquire the entire
contents of the batch file archive and save the
files in a location of your choice.
Scroll through the list of batch files in
the archive and choose the ones you
need. Move them to the collection
window using the Add arrow. Files
can also be transferred by clicking
and dragging.
The single Remove arrow functions
in the same way as the Add arrow,
except that it transfers files back to
the batch archive. The double
Remove arrow allows you to transfer
all files simultaneously.

Maintenance
Appendix D — Maintenance
The POWERSCAN D8590 provides reliable and efficient operation with a minimum of
care. Although specific maintenance is not required, the following periodic checks ensure
dependable operation.
Cleaning the POWERSCAN D8590 Window
The POWERSCAN D8590 has a clear, anti-reflective coated optical window that protects
the POWERSCAN D8590
illumination system and optics. The window should be clean to allow
optimum performance.
The POWERSCAN D8590 uses technology that is much like a digital
camera, and marks or debris on
the window will interfere with image captures. Avoid touching
the coated surface, as fingerprints
may impede decode performance.
In many cases the window can be cleaned by wiping with a lint-free lens cloth to remove
dust, de
bris, and fingerprints. Care should be taken not to apply too much pressure, as a
trapped particle may scratch the window.
If cleaning of the window becomes necessary, follow this procedure:
• Use a minimal amount of Isopropyl Alcohol to dampen. Do not saturate
the surface, as
this may cause streaking.
•
Drag the moistened cotton swab, cotton ball, or soft, clean cloth across the coated surface.
Do not rub.
• Repeat this procedure until no contaminants remain.
Note: Many products designed
for cleaning plastic lens eyewear, such as pre-moistened
towelettes or lens cloths, can be used to clean the POWERSCAN D8590 window.
Cleaning the POWERSCAN D8590 Housing
If the housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth that has been moistened
with water. A mild detergent may be used to clean the housing, but the detergent should
then be rinsed away with a water-moistened cloth.
Caution: Do not submerge the
PO
WERSCAN D8590 in water. The housing is not water-
tight. Do not use abrasive cloths or tissues on the POWERSCAN D8590 window — abrasive
cl
oths or tissues may scratch the window.
