DIAMOND™ D531
USING DIAMOND™
The Datalogic Diamond™ D531 is an omni-directional scanner, which
generates a scan pattern of 16 lines, thus ensuring high performance scanning.
Barcodes are read simply on presentation to the scanner window.
The Diamond™ scanner can be used handsfree as well as hand-held, e.g.:
a) Handsfree scanning by presenting the item to the scanner using a
sweeping curved motion towards the scanner window.
b) You can also use it as a hand-held device by presenting the scanner to the
item using a sweeping curved motion towards the item.
SLEEP STATE
After a default stand-by timeout the scanner enters a "Sleep" state for minimum
power consumption in which the scanner Laser is OFF and the motor is not
rotating.
It is possible to exit this state by simply pressing the trigger.

SINGLE LINE MODE
When many barcodes are present in the same reading area, like in barcode
price lists or in the case of configuration barcodes in this manual, selecting a
specific barcode to read is not practical with the large raster pattern emitted by
the Diamond™, so a special single line scanning mode can be easily entered to
perform this task. In this mode only a single scanning line is enabled so that
aiming and reading barcodes become very easy.
To use single line mode for barcode reading follow the procedure below:
1. While the normal raster pattern is present, press the trigger. A single laser
line will appear but barcodes cannot be decoded.
2. Position the presentation scanner over the code to read and press the
trigger within 5 seconds to decode the code.
When using the scanner for data entry, a programmable timeout is provided to
assure that Diamond™ will return to raster mode if barcode reading is not
successful in single line (Single Line Decoding Duration). Also a programmable
timeout is available to manage how long to wait after successful reading before
returning to raster mode (Single Line Timeout OFF Before Raster).
If you need to make consecutive readings in single line mode, simply repeat the
procedure before the Single Line Timeout OFF Before Raster expires.
When in configuration, Diamond™ will remain in single line until the Exit
Configuration barcode is read.
