1INTRODUCTION
The DelfiScan family provides a valuable solution for users seeking an affordable handheld
device without compromise in performance.
The extensive range of models and options of this family can easily meet any specific
challenges required by retail, and commercial data collections applications.
The DelfiScan M80 is the ideal solution for retail and commercial environments where
continuous and multi-tasking activities are keys to optimum productivity, lower cost of
ownership and profitable business.
1.1 READING ANGLE
DelfiScan M80 readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim and pull the
trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the light bar emitted from the
reading window. This bar must cover the entire code.
Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode to avoid
direct reflections, which could impair the reading performance. See the figures below.
Successful reading is obtained by an audible tone.

1.2 HANDS-FREE USE
When using the DelfiScan M80 on the cradle, remember to lock the reader by pushing up
the locking system as indicated in the following figure.

INSTALLATION

2INSTALLATION
2.1 USING YOUR DELFISCAN M80 READING SYSTEM
Follow the procedure below to start using your DelfiScan M80 reading system:
1. Connect a DelfiScan M80 cradle to the Host.
2. Insert the DelfiScan M80 reader into the cradle to start the battery charging. A full
charge of the Lithium battery takes 3.5 – 6 hours.
To achieve the best battery life, it is recommended to perform a full battery
charge before using the reader in hand-held mode.
NOTE
In hands-free use, you can immediately start using the reader, since it is powered by
the cradle.
3. Configure the DelfiScan M80 reader.
4. Configure the DelfiScan M80 cradle.
2.2 CHANGING THE BATTERIES
To change the battery of your reader, you must:
1. Unscrew the battery cover screw (Figure 1).
2. Unplug the white connector and remove the old battery (Figure 2).
3. Insert the new battery and plug in the white connector.
When inserting the new battery into the handle pay attention to position the
battery and the connector just as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE

4. Insert the cover in the handle and screw it back into place.
Figure 4
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to high
temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk
of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force.

2.3 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Connections should always be made with power OFF!
CAUTION
You can connect the DelfiScan M80 cradle to the Host through the dedicated connector,
using the cable corresponding to the desired interface type.
1. Connect the appropriate interface cable to the cradle by simply plugging it into the
Host connector on the base of the cradle.

To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the hole
corresponding to the connector on the base of the cradle. Push down on the clip while
unplugging the cable. Refer to the following figure:

3.1 CONFIGURATION METHODS
3.1.1 Reading Configuration Barcodes
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration of your reader by following
the setup procedures in this chapter.
If you wish to change the default settings, this manual provides complete configuration of
your reader in an easy way.
To configure your reader:
1. Open the folded page in Appendix Cwith the hex-numeric table and keep it open
during the device configuration.
2. Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page of
configuration.
3. Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following the procedures
given for each group.
4. Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page
of configuration.
Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are given in
chapter 4.
3.1.2 Aladdin™
Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program that allows device configuration using a PC. It
provides RS-232 interface configuration as well as configuration barcode printing.
3.1.3 Copy Command
A previously configured device (Master), can be used to send its configuration directly to
other devices of the same type (Slaves). The particular procedure for each device is given.

3.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS-232 or USB-
COM interface. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be
configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter settings
can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.
