LED Indicators
The PowerScan® PD8530 family uses green LED indicators to signal the
following reader functions:
Beeper
The PowerScan® PD8530 basic software provides beeper signals for
good/wrong reading and for indicating errors. Its tone, volume and dura-
tion can be directly configured by using the codes given in the Power-
Scan® PD8530 Product Reference Guide (PRG) available on the website.
The application program can also manage the beeper (User Defined
Beeper) when the reader is controlled by a Host PC. It is possible to acti-
vate the beeper by sending a command from the Host to the reader via the
current communication interface.
The PowerScan® PD8530 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 Con-
trol parameters. For configuring the Camera Control parameters refer to
the PowerScan® PD8530 Product Reference Guide (PRG) available on
the website and the CD.
