1  INTRODUCTION 
 
 
1.1  POWERSCAN® D8530 FAMILY DESCRIPTION 
 
The PowerScan® D8530 Family Hand-Held Reader packs a lot of performance into 
an attractive, rugged, hand-held device. It operates in commercial and industrial 
environments as well as the front office. 
 
Omni-directional 
Operating 
To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply aim the 
reader and pull the trigger. Since PowerScan® D8530 Family 
is a powerful omni-directional reader, the orientation of the 
symbol is not important. 
 
 
Decoding 
And 
Imaging 
Thanks to powerful algorithms, PowerScan® D8530 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. 
 
PowerScan® D8530 can also function as a camera by 
capturing images of labels, signatures, and other items.  
 
 
FLASH MEMORY 
Flash technology allows to upgrade the PowerScan® D8530 
reader as new symbologies are supported or as improved 
decoding algorithms become available.
