Using PowerScan™ M8300 USING POWERSCAN™ M8300 The PowerScan™ M8300 series readers can be used with either an BC-80X0 cradle or Stargate™ radio base station to build a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. PowerScan™ M8300 laser readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the trigger. SCAN LINE POSITION Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the reading window. This line must cross the entire code.
Using PowerScan™ M8300 AIMING SYSTEM PowerScan™ M8300 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the best reading performance, see figure (1) above. By completely pressing the trigger the scan line appears to start the code scanning (2).
Charging the Batteries CHARGING THE BATTERIES Once the BC-80X0/C-8000 is powered, you can charge the reader's batteries. Place the PowerScan™ M8300 into the BC-80X0 cradle or the C-8000 battery charger. The "Reader" LED on the cradle/battery charger turns red. The battery is completely charged when the "Reader" LED on the cradle/battery charger turns green. To change the batteries, unscrew the retaining screw and extract the battery pack from the reader handle.
Charging the Batteries SETUP PowerScan™ M8300/BC-80X0 Point-to Point Configuration 1. Connect an BC-80X0 cradle to the Host. For installation and connection information see the BC-80X0 Quick Reference Manual. 2. Charge the PowerScan™ M8300 battery using an BC-80X0 or the C-8000 charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes 4 hours if using an external power supply; while it takes up to 10 hours if supplying power through the USB port. 3.
PowerScan™ M8300 Configuration POWERSCAN™ M8300 CONFIGURATION 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.
PowerScan™ M8300 Configuration POWERSCAN™ M8300/BC-80X0 STAND ALONE SETUP When the BC-80X0 cradle is connected and powered, configure the PowerScan™ M8300 by reading the following codes in the given sequence and follow the instructions. Note: for the numeric code selection of steps 3, 4, and 5 use the table at the end of this Quick Reference. 1. Restore PowerScan™ M8300 Default Ì$+$*oÎ 2. Enter Configuration Ì$+;Î 3. Set Date ÌIA%Î + six digits for Day, Month and Year (DDMMYY). 4.
PowerScan™ M8300 Configuration 7. Read the Bind code to pair the PowerScan™ M8300 to the BC-80X0 cradle. The reader is dedicated to the cradle. Any previously bound reader will be excluded. To connect several readers to the same cradle see the following section "Using Multiple Readers with Same Cradle". Bind Ì$+RN0$-IÎ The green LED on the PowerScan™ M8300 will blink: the reader is ready to be positioned onto the cradle. 8.
PowerScan™ M8300 Configuration USING MULTIPLE READERS WITH SAME CRADLE If you want to use several readers associated with the same cradle, you must first Bind the cradle with one of the readers (see previously described configuration procedure). Successive readers can be associated with the same cradle by following the configuration procedure substituting the Bind command with Join. 7. Join Ì$+RN1$-NÎ The green LED on the PowerScan™ M8300 will blink: the reader is ready to be positioned onto the cradle.
PowerScan™ M8300 Configuration POWERSCAN™ M8300/STAR-SYSTEM™ SETUP The following procedure allows configuring a PowerScan™ M8300 reader to communicate with various STAR-System™ devices such as Stargate™ RF base stations: 1. Restore PowerScan™ M8300 Default Ì$+$*oÎ 2. Enter Configuration Ì$+;Î 3. Set Date ÌIA%Î + six digits for Day, Month and Year (DDMMYY). 4. Set Time ÌIB'Î + four digits for Hours and Minutes (HHMM). 5.
PowerScan™ M8300 Configuration 6. Set Radio Address ÌRF8Î + four digits from the Numeric Table for the PowerScan™ M8300 Address (from 0000 to 1999). All readers used in the same area must have different addresses. 7. Set First STAR-System™ Address ÌRSRÎ + four digits from the Numeric Table in the range 0000 to 1999 8.
