Introduction
Overview
The PowerScan™ PM8500 cordless handheld Reader Family packs a lot of performance into
an attractive, rugged, handheld device. It operates in commercial and industrial environments
as well as the front office.
In all applications where mobility is a value, the PowerScan™ PM8500 represents the key to
increase productivity and flexibility in the
working area. PowerScan™ PM8500
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™ PM8500 also includes a display and a 3-key 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 u
p to 16
bases and 512 readers simultane-
ously working in automatic roaming.
PowerScan™ PM8500 is 100% compatible with STAR
-System™, th
e Datalogic RF narrow
band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of narrow band devices
on the market. In addition, the main feature of PowerScan PM8500 are:
Omni-directional
Operating
To read a symbol, simply aim at the code and pull the trigger. Since
PowerScan™ PM8500 is a powerful omni-directional reader, the
orientation of the symbol is not important.
Decoding
and
Imaging
Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan™ PM8500 reliably decodes
all major 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as PDF417), 2D
matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix), postal codes (such as POSTNET,
PLANET). The data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol — is
rapidly sent to the host. The reader is immediately available to read
another symbol.
Flash Memory
Flash technology allows upgrade of the PowerScan™ PM8500 reader as
new symbologies are supported or as improved decoding algorithms
become available.
USA Driver License
Parsing
The PowerScan™ PM8500 reader can be set up to select and output a
subset of data elements from USA Driver License PDF417 barcodes.
This feature can be enabled using either Datalogic Aladdin™ or the
barcodes in the USA Driver License Parsing Quick Reference Guide
(QRG), available on the Datalogic website.
Your PowerScan™ reader is supplied with its own Quick Referen
ce 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.
