Datalogic Scanning D8530 2.2NORMAL OPERATION, 2.3IMAGE CAPTURING

POWERSCAN® D8530

The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when the PowerScan® D8530 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 chapter 8 for further details).

2.2NORMAL OPERATION

PowerScan® D8530 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 2).

As you are reading code symbols, adjust the distance at which you are holding the reader.

	The PowerScan® D8530 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
NOTE	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 52).

NOTE

2.3IMAGE CAPTURING

PowerScan® D8530 can also function as a camera by capturing images of labels, signatures, and other items.

In order to capture an image, the user should read a Capture Image code (see page 75), then point at the image subject and pull the trigger. This way, the image will be captured and sent to the host PC. PowerScan® D8530 then returns to normal operation. To capture another image you must read another Capture Image Code of the same or a different Preset Configuration.
