Chapter 1
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 up to 16 bases and 512 readers simultane-
ously working in automatic roaming.
PowerScan™ PM8500 is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the 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 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.

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
12 PowerScan™ M8500
Using the Reader
Aiming System
The PowerScan™ M8500 reader uses an intelligent aiming system similar to those on
cameras. By partially pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view to be
positioned over the code:
Figure 6. Aiming System
When you pull the trigger completely a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system
is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read.
The field of view changes size as you move the reader closer or farther away from the code.
Figure 7
Linear barcode 2D Matrix symbol
. Relative Size and Location of Aiming System Pattern
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the PowerScan™
PM8500 is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with
smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger
bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. (See "Technical Features"
starting on page 173 for further details).

Configuration Methods
Product Reference Guide 13
Normal Operation
PowerScan™ M8500 normally functions by capturing and decoding codes.
Point the reader at the target and pull the trigger partially to enable the aiming system.
Then, pull it completely to capture and decode the image. The reader will repeatedly flash
until the symbol is decoded or timeout is reached. In between the flashes of the reader, the
aiming system keeps on showing the field of view on the target (see Figure 7 on page 12).
As you are reading code symbols, adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader.
Configuration Methods
Reading Configuration Codes
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration. If you wish to change the
default settings, you can configure the PowerScan™ PM8500 reader by reading the
programming code symbols in this manual. Configuration commands and their relative
arguments are read individually using the symbols in this manual. See "Configuration Using
Code Symbols" starting on page 47.
Using Datalogic Aladdin™
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin, available on the CD-
ROM provided, allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands
through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. These commands are sent to
the reader over the current communication interface, or they can be printed as barcodes to
be scanned.
It also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see the
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix B, Host Configuration Strings
using the RS-232 or USB COM 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.
The PowerScan™ M8500 reader incorporates a multi-standard interface, which can be
connected to a Host by plugging the correct interface cable into the connector and closing the
cable cover.
The PowerScan™ M8500 hand-held reader aiming system is designed for
general reading and decoding of 1D and 2D symbols. Some variation in
reading distance will occur due to narrow bar width and other factors.
If reading codes positioned on reflective surfaces, it may be necessary to
tilt the reader with respect to the barcode and/or set the Camera Control
parameters (see
page 96
).

Introduction
14 PowerScan™ M8500
Autoscanning
Normal Mode
PowerScan™ M8500 provides an autoscan command (see page 199), which when enabled,
causes the reader to scan continuously and to monitor the central zone of its reading area. In
this way, PowerScan™ M8500 is ready to capture any image (containing a potential code)
positioned on a uniform background.
The aiming system can be enabled to indicate the reading area of the potential code to be
captured. The illumination system can also be enabled when the ambient light conditions
are not sufficient to autodetect the potential code to be captured; furthermore, the
illumination system increases in intensity for an instant when capturing and decoding an
image. A safety time may be defined to prevent PowerScan™ M8500 from reading the
same code repeatedly.
If the decoding is completed successfully, the reader starts monitoring the reading area
again. In case of decoding failure, PowerScan™ M8500 keeps on decoding until a potential
code is present in the central zone of the reading area.
Pattern Mode
The Autoscan pattern mode is particularly advised when reading barcodes positioned on a
non-uniform background. In these cases PowerScan™ M8500 may perceive some elements
of the background as barcodes and start the decoding. To avoid this undesired effect, the
Autoscan Pattern Code is placed in the PowerScan™ M8500 reading area which prevents
decoding. Using this code as the background, code reading takes place normally by
presenting desired codes to be read over the Pattern Code. Between each code read, the
Pattern Code must be presented to the reader.
The Pattern Code can be printed from this manual (see Autoscan Pattern Code in Appendix F).
In case of low ambient light conditions, PowerScan™ M8500 automatically activates the
illumination system. If desired, the illumination system can be enabled so that it is always
active.
Camera Control
Exposure and Calibration
Three automatic control modes are available to optimize the reading performance:
•Automatic based on entire image: camera control mode based on the analysis of the
whole image. This mode works well in most standard applications. It is the default set-
ting.
•Automatic based on central image: camera control mode based on the analysis of a
restricted area positioned in the central zone of the image. This mode is suggested
when reading small codes positioned in a dark and extensive background.
•Automatic for highly reflective surfaces: camera control mode allowing reading of
codes on highly reflective surfaces. This mode is suggested, for example, when reading
codes positioned on plastic or metal surfaces.
Refer to CAMERA CONTROL on page 96 for configuration codes.

Defining Data Formatting
Product Reference Guide 15
Defining Data Formatting
The string of a decoded code to be sent to the host may be formatted as follows:
• defining simple data formatting (see page 78)
• defining advanced data formatting giving complete flexibility in changing the format
of data (see Advanced Data Formatting on page 129).
When both simple and advanced data formatting are selected the info is processed in the
following order:
1. the string of the decoded code is processed according to the advanced formatting rules;
2. the resulting string is processed according to the selection type rules of the simple data
formatting;
3. character substitution is performed on the resulting string;
4. character deletion is performed on the resulting string;
5. code concatenation is performed;
6. code ID is attached to the resulting string;
7. global headers and terminators are attached to the resulting string;
The codes to be sent to the host may also be selected or ordered depending on the following
two conditions:
One Code Per Scan
• PowerScan™ M8500 sends the code being closest to the image center. If the "Central
Code Transmission" command is enabled, only the code containing the image center
will be transmitted (see page 199);
All Codes Per Scan
• The codes to be sent to the host may be ordered either by length or by symbology
starting from the code being closest to the image center (see page 199). When enabling
both these criteria, codes belonging to the same symbology are sent to the host
depending on their length.

Introduction
16 PowerScan™ M8500
Concatenation
It is possible to concatenate up to 4 different codes, set their length and enable the Intercode
Delay between them (the intercode delay is set in the specific interface parameters, see
"Configuration Using Code Symbols" starting on page 47 ). When enabling the delay one or
more global headers and terminators are added to the decoded data. The concatenation
procedure may occur in different ways depending on the number of codes to be decoded per
image:
One Code Per Scan
• If the code resulting from the single decoding of an image belongs to one of the code
families to be concatenated, it is saved to the PowerScan™ M8500 memory waiting
for other codes to complete the concatenation.
• If the code belongs to the same family of a code previously saved, it overwrites the old
one.
• If the code resulting from the decoding does not belong to one of the code families to
be concatenated, it causes the concatenation failure and clears the temporary memory.
If the "Concatenation Failure Transmission" command is set to "Tx codes causing fail-
ure" (see page 94), this code will be sent in the output message.
All Codes Per Scan
• All codes resulting from the decoding of an image and belonging to one of the families
to be concatenated are saved to the PowerScan™ M8500 memory waiting for other
codes to complete the concatenation.
• If one or more codes resulting from the decoding belong to the same family of codes
previously saved, they overwrite the old ones.
• When the image contains no code to be concatenated, the concatenation fails and the
reader temporary memory is cleared. If the "Concatenation Failure Transmission"
command is set to "Tx codes causing failure" (see page 94), the codes causing the con-
catenation failure will be sent in the output message.

Network Connections
BC-8060 Network Connectors
The multidrop network is a bus system which is propagated from one BC-8060 cradle to
another using individual cables. This is possible thanks to the RS-485 connector on the
front panel of the cradle.
Figure 10. Network Connectors
All cradles are connected together within the bus system through the Datalogic RS-485
splitter cable (CAB-428, part number 90A051950), which must be inserted in the RS-485
cradle connector.
Cable length should be kept to a minimum, as with all bus systems.
Network Cabling
The Multidrop line is made using RJ45 connectors and a cable having the following
specifications:
• twisted pair AWG 24 wires
• 120 impedance
•maximum network cable length 1200 meters

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 individu-
ally 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.
Figure 11. 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.

PowerScan™ M8500 Battery Maintenance
Product Reference Guide 23
As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time.
Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or
not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers
rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500
full discharge/charge cycles before needing replacement. This number is higher if partial
discharging / recharging is adhered to rather than full / deep discharging,
The typical manufacturer advertised useful life of LI batteries is one to three years,
depending on usage and number of charges, etc., after which they should be removed from
service, especially in mission critical applications. Do not continue to use a battery that is
showing excessive loss of capacity, it should be properly recycled / disposed of and replaced.
For most applications, batteries should be replaced after one year of service to maintain
customer satisfaction and minimize safety concerns.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from the device in compliance with European
Directive 2006/66/EC, 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and subsequent modifications, US and
China regulatory and others laws and regulations about the environment.
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. When the battery is used
in devices other than the designated product, it may damage the battery or reduce its life
expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to
become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to
abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse
well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could
cause damage to the eye.
Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range.
Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your
Datalogic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your
warranty.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection
devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations.
Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot
weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the bat-
tery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.
Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cook-
ware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery,
the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal
in any other way.
Do not replace the battery pack when the device is turned on.
Do not remove or damage the battery pack’s label.
Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.

Multiple Stand-Alone Layouts
Many stand-alone connections can operate in the same physical area without interference,
provided all readers and cradles in the system have different addresses.
Figure 19. Multiple Stand-alone Systems in the Same Area
Since the cradles can communicate to multiple PowerScan™ M8500 readers, you might
find it useful to employ one or more C-8000 battery chargers in addition to the BC-80X0
cradle, so that the battery re-charging operation can be performed for several scanners at the
same time.
Figure 20. C-BOX Layout
In this layout the BC-80X0 cradle is connected by a dedicated cable using the RS-232
interface to a C-BOX connection box as part of a fixed scanner network. This allows the
flexibility of a hand-held reading station integrated into a variety of fixed scanning
applications so that all readers (both fixed and hand-held), in the system provide
communications to the Host.
The various C-BOX models provide many interface types for the Host system such as RS-232,
RS-485, and Profibus.

System and Network Layouts
Product Reference Guide 31
Multidrop STAR-System™ Network Layouts
Even though many stand-alone systems can operate in the same physical area without
interfering with each other, it may be desirable to bridge data from multiple base stations in a
network to a single Host. PowerScan™ M8500 readers are compatible with STAR-System™
networks. These networks provide seamless active roaming for any RF reading device in the
system.

A. Host Master with STAR-Link™
B. STAR-Box™ converter
C. BC-8060 slave cradles
D. STARGATE™ base stations
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 (reference the
STARGATE™ and STAR-Box™ Installation Manuals and
"Network Termination"
on page
21).

In this layout a BC-8060 cradle acts as the Master. The Host is connected to the
BC-8060 Master using any one of the multi-standard interfaces (RS-232, USB, WEDGE, or
PEN Emulation). The Master is then connected to the slaves in the RS-485 network. In this
way the slave cradles provide communications between a single Host and all readers in the
system. STARGATE™ base stations can also be used as slaves in this network. The devices at
the ends of the network must be terminated (see
"Network Termination"
on page 21).

, or the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line, for
system configuration specifications.
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.

Setup Procedures
Product Reference Guide 33
Setup Procedures
For PowerScan™ M8500 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
(
page 34
), or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem (
page 36
).
STAR-System™ applications allow communication with the Host through an RS-485
network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the BC-8000 cradle (
page 37
and
39
).

PowerScan™ M8500/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™ M8500 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

Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System
USB Start-up
As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by
communicating with the device. During this phase normal operations are suspended. 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.
1. 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 the reader emits the
beep OK signal).
In rare cases, if the Host does not supply sufficient
power to the device, a dialog box will appear on the Host
and the device will be blocked (the reader's LED
continues blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB
device cable at the Host (the reader's LED stops
blinking), and then try a different USB port as indicated
by the Operating System message. (The device emits the
beep OK signal. You can now read codes).
2. At this point you can read the USB interface configuration code according to your
application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB-COM
interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from the USB Device Installation
software, which can be downloaded from the web page

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.
Read the code above.
Press the keys shown in the following table according to their numerical order.
delay between codes transmitted to Host
"CAPS LOCK" and "NUM LOCK" must be off before starting the keyboard
setting procedure. "SHIFT" must be pressed for each character and can-
not be substituted by "CAPS LOCK".

Some ASCII characters may be missing as this depends on the type of keyboard: 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 the end of the procedure with 2 beeps indicating the keys have been
registered.
