Microsoft® Windows XP
Pentium CPU 500 MHz or faster
.NET 1.1 SP1 (installed automatically)
Insert CD-ROM and follow the on-screen prompts.
Connect the DataMan 100 to your PC using the supplied USB cable.
Launch the Setup Tool. Select the Connect to Reader step, then
click Scan Ports. Make sure a port that says (DM100) is selected,
then click Connect.

Reading your First Code
The DataMan 100 is pre-congured for Manual triggering and symbology
discrimination. To verify that your reader is operational, click on the
Results Display step in the Setup Tool, place a code in front of the reader,
and press the black trigger button. The Setup Tool should display the
image and the decoded string.
Troubleshooting
If you are unable to read a code, verify that
You have scanned the correct connection code on page 14.
If you are using your PC’s USB to power the DataMan 100, make sure
that your PC’s USB port can supply enough power (2.5W peak). Connect
the DataMan 100 power supply (DM100-PWR-000) to the USB adapter
cable if needed.
If you are using a direct USB connection, make sure that the USB
adapter cable is connected to the DataMan 100 before you connect the
USB cable to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug from
the USB cable while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver crash
on the PC.
If you are using a USB connection with the I/O module, make sure that
the DataMan 100 is connected to the I/O module before you connect
the I/O module to your PC. Connecting or disconnecting the 15-pin plug
from the I/O module while the PC is connected may cause a USB driver
crash on the PC.

Wiring DataMan 100
Input Wiring Example
Output Wiring Example
Power: 5–24 VDC, 2.5W peak. Connect either ground pin to chassis
ground.
Discrete Output: Current sink only; must connect logical ground to
common. Outputs are opto-isolated and protected against reverse
polarity. Max current 50 mA @ 24 VDC. Output 1 used for external
illumination control by default.
Trigger Input: Opto-isolated, polarity-independent, current source
or sink. Input 0 is dedicated trigger line; Input 1 is not used.
RS-232 and USB: If USB connection is detected, USB
communications is automatically selected; otherwise RS-232
connection is used.

DataMan 100 Trigger Types
DataMan decodes when you tell it to. You can trigger a read by
DataMan 100 Trigger Modes
DataMan supports three trigger modes. The trigger mode determines what
happens when a trigger signal is received.
Pressing and holding the trigger
button.
Sending a pulse on Input-0 line.
Sending a command on
the RS-232 serial line. (You
must be using the RS-232
communications type.
In Single Trigger Mode, DataMan 100 acquires and
attempts to decode an image as soon as the trigger is
received. You can use the setup tool to dene a trigger
delay.
In Presentation Mode, continuously scans for and
attempts to decode symbols. Whenever a symbol is present
in the eld of view, DataMan 100 decodes it. You can specify
a latency period between read attempts, and you can
congure the DataMan 100 to not decode the same code
multiple times using the setup tool.
In Manual Trigger Mode, DataMan continuously acquires
and attempts to decode images as long as the trigger button
is held down.
Clicking the
Trigger button in
the Setup tool.

DataMan 100 Training
For best performance, you can train DataMan. Train DataMan by placing a code
in front of the reader and doing one of the following:
DataMan 100 Training Feedback
DataMan reports the status of the tuning operation using its signalling
LEDs:
Press and hold the trigger
button for at least 3 seconds.
This trains the code and
optimizes lighting.
In the Display pane of the Setup Tool you
can click the Train Code button to train the
code, and you can click the Optimize Lighting
button to optimize lighting.
Displays steady
green if trained,
steady yellow if
untrained.
Flashes red
between 1 and
3 times when
training attempt
is complete.
Greater numbers
of ashes
indicate better
training results.
Click and hold the trigger
button in the Setup for at least
3 seconds. This trains the code
and optimizes lighting.
