Datalogic Scanning D8530 User Manual

CONFIGURATION USING CODE SYMBOLS 

 

 
 
This section describes the programming method of using configuration code symbols 
to program your reader. By using the PowerScan® D8530 reader to read/decode 
these special configuration symbols, you can configure, and obtain information from 
its system software. 
 
When you are reading configuration code symbols, carefully aim the PowerScan® 
D8530 2D reader to avoid reading adjacent symbols.  
 
The configuration code symbols in this chapter are divided into logical 
sections according to the type of configuration required, (RS-232 
configuration, Code selection, etc.). If arguments are required with a command, 
you can read additional code labels (typically digits) from Appendix D. 
 
To configure your reader: 

1.  Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available on top of each page. 

2.  Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections by reading the parameter 

code and selecting the value from the Hex/Numeric table (see Appendix D) or by 
following the given procedures. 

3.  Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available on top of each 

page. 

 
Example for step 3: 
To set the maximum length of characters in a Code 39 barcode symbol that the 
reader will decode to 32: 
• 

first read the Maximum Length symbol for Code 39 on page 56  

•  then read the symbol for the digit "3" and lastly the symbol for the digit "2" in 

Appendix D.
