Targeting and Decoding Targeting and Decoding The POWERSCAN D8590 features simple blue targeting LEDs to indicate optimal read range. 1. Hold the imager about 6” from the mark and align the blue targeting pattern as shown below. 2. Move the front of the imager steadily downward toward the mark and parallel to the mark surface. 3. The imager will decode the mark at the optimal read distance – typically from the point of contact to .50” (contact – 12.70 mm).
Basic Operations Scanning Guidelines The POWERSCAN D8590 makes reading the most difficult direct part marks easy. The following guidelines will help ensure optimal performance: • In the default illumination setup, allow the POWERSCAN D8590 to run through its illumination sequences before terminating the read cycle. The POWERSCAN D8590 captures several images with each illumination zone, evaluating the optimum settings.
Decode Zones and Lighting Zones Decode Zones and Lighting Zones The following chart provides a guideline for overall read performance based on mark size. Actual range for direct part marks will vary based on mark parameters and the illumination zone required for readings. The chart below is intended as a guideline.
Basic Operations Lighting Zones The following charts indicate the POWERSCAN D8590’s illumination zones. Dome Lighting Zone Dome illumination de-emphasizes surface texture and elevation (curved surface).
Decode Zones and Lighting Zones Low Angle Lighting Zone Low Angle illumination emphasizes surfaces texture and elevation (curved surface).
Basic Operations Illumination System The POWERSCAN D8590 ensures reliable decoding of the toughest direct part marks. Through an advanced combination of low angle (dark field) and multi-colored dome (bright field) illumination techniques, the imager provides even illumination of flat, shiny surfaces, enhancing embossed features, or differentiating features on curved surfaces.
Illumination System Dome Illumination Dome illumination provides diffused, uniform light. The large, solid angle of illumination supports imaging of shiny flat surfaces or curved surfaces. This zone is useful on specular and non-specular surfaces, ideal for de-emphasizing surface texture and elevation (curves). The dome provides the widest area of coverage at close working distances.
Basic Operations Illumination Sequence The POWERSCAN D8590 is configured to provide the broadest reading capabilities “out of the box”. Just point and shoot to read most marks. This is achieved by combining the illumination system with advanced decode algorithms. The POWERSCAN D8590 automatically cycles through a default combination of the illumination zones each time the user pulls the trigger to decode a mark.

Communications by ESP Communications by ESP To make changes to configuration settings in the Communications tree control: 1. Left click on the + to expand the tree. 2. Double click on the parameter and click once in the selection box to view options. 3. Place your cursor in the selection box, scroll down to the setting you want to change and click once on the setting. 4-2 4. Left click again on the open screen to complete the selection. 5.
Communications Communications Overview All POWERSCAN D8590 imagers are shipped with a USB cable. You can also add RS-232 capabilities and configure your imager accordingly. Whenever you default the imager, it will return to the default settings of whichever interface you are using. Defaulting the imager does not remove preamble and postamble formatting. Note: You must use USB Connect Mode or RS-232 Connect Mode to connect to ESP.
USB Interface USB Interface USB Keyboard is the default interface in which data is transferred to a Windows-based text program as keyboard data. See USB Interface for detailed steps on setting up the USB Interface. USB Keyboard Mode Data is entered as keyboard sequences. You need to read this symbol whenever you are changing from a different interface to USB. USB Downloader Mode This mode is the standard way of transferring unformatted, unpacketized data to the imager through the USB port.
Communications RS-232 Interface Enabling either of these modes will disable USB communications and require you to default the imager or read the “USB Keyboard” symbol to return to USB. See RS-232 Interface for detailed steps on setting up the RS-232 Interface. RS-232 Default Settings This mode is the standard way of transferring unformatted, unpacketized data through the RS-232 port. You will need to read this symbol whenever you set up RS-232 communications.
RS-232 Interface Parity (RS-232) Parity is an error detection routine in which one data bit in each character is set to 1 or 0 so that the total number of 1 bits in the data field is even or odd. It only needs to be changed if necessary to match the host setting. None (Default) Even Odd Stop Bits (RS-232) Stop Bits are added to indicate the end of each character. This setting should only be changed if necessary to match the host setting.
Communications Preamble A preamble is a character or series of characters that is added to the beginning of a decoded data string. Preamble characters will appear in the order that they are enabled (left to right). For example, if you enable a comma and then a space, and then decode a symbol containing the data ‘ABC’, your output will look like this: , ABC The only limit to the number of preambles enabled is the total memory size available.
Preamble USB or PS/2 Keyboard Preamble Comma Space Tab Note: To erase all preamble and postamble data, read the symbol at right: Erase Preamble and Postamble Data Erase All Preamble Data 4-8 POWERSCAN D8590 User’s Manual
Communications Postamble A postamble is a character or series of characters that is added to the end of a decoded data string. Postamble characters will appear in the order that they are enabled (left to right). For example, if you enable a space and then a comma, and then decode a symbol containing the data ‘ABC’, your output will look like this: ABC , The only limit to the number of postambles enabled is the total memory size available.
Postamble USB or PS/2 Keyboard Postamble Comma Enter Space Tab Erase All Postamble Data Note: To erase all postamble and preamble data, read the symbol at right: 4-10 Erase Preamble and Postamble Data POWERSCAN D8590 User’s Manual
Communications Preamble and Postamble by ESP Characters can also be added to the beginning and end of data strings using ESP. There are a few different ways to do this, using the interface shown below. You will see the Communications tree control on the left, and the Preamble/Postamble interface on the right. When you type ASCII characters directly into the Preamble or Postamble text fields and then click Send to Reader, those preamble or postamble characters are enabled and will appear in data output.
Keyboard Mapping Keyboard Mapping The Keyboard Mapping feature provides alternatives for keyboards that do not conform to US English mapping. Note: Universal Keyboard mapping is slightly slower than the other language-specific options, because it maps data by reference to the full set of ASCII characters. The advantage of Universal Keyboard mapping is that it allows any language and keyboard layout to be mapped.
Communications Text Commands When the Text Commands feature is enabled, the POWERSCAN D8590 can accept text commands via RS-232 connections and USB Virtual COM modes. Note: Text Commands are not supported in USB HID Mode. Enable Text Commands Disable Text Commands (Default) Save Settings Text Commands by ESP When Magic Sequence is enabled, it allows the user to enable Text Commands by entering a predetermined series of keystrokes.
Other Communications Settings in ESP Other Communications Settings in ESP Some ESP Communications options are unique to the software, and do not have corresponding programming symbols. These options are explained below. Reader Packet Format Data that is sent from the imager to the host in Raw format is sent without packet framing or check characters. One-Way communication is in a raw format, no response is expected from the host, and data is not resent.
Communications USB Keyboard Rate Requests that the host polls the USB POWERSCAN D8590 at the rate specified (1 to 255 ms). Keyboard Inter Message Delay Places a delay between each character that is output by the imager when in Keyboard Mode. Useful for applications that require a slower output rate.

Gain Control Gain Control Gain Control is a system that controls gain in the captured image—how bright or dark the resulting image will be. The higher the gain, the brighter the image. When the POWERSCAN D8590 is set to Adaptive mode, it will automatically maintain the proper setting for gain based on the captured image in order to produce the best setting to perform a decode. In the Manual setting the gain is fixed to whatever value is set by gain slider controls on the Illumination tab in I/O Parameters.
I/O Parameters Exposure The larger the Exposure value, the longer the pixels in the candidate image are exposed, allowing the imager to collect more light. Note: A larger exposure value may cause blurred images.
Data Validation Data Validation Data Validation is used to confirm that a decoded string from the imager has complied with a particular company, industry, or ISO standard. POWERSCAN D8590 Data Validation is compliant with Department of Defense Unique Identification and ISO/IEC 15434 (Information Technology – Transfer Syntax for High-Capacity ADC Media) requirements.

Advanced Operations Illumination Settings by ESP The POWERSCAN D8590’s illumination settings can also be controlled using the graphic interface on the Illumination tab in ESP’s I/O Parameters view. Define how many illumination steps (1 - 8) the imager will cycle through during its sequence. Click this button to default settings for the imager’s illumination sequence. Click Create Bar Code to encode illumination settings in a programming symbol. Select Low Resolution Image for larger symbols.
Illumination Settings by ESP Image Enhance Settings Image Enhance settings apply morphological pre-processing (erosion and dilation) to symbol cells to improve readability. Symbols that are under-marked or over-marked can benefit from Image Enhance settings. The Grow Dark and Grow Light checkboxes allow you to determine which cells will be enhanced (grown).
Advanced Operations Low Resolution Image Low Resolution Image reduces the number of pixels in the image by 50%, which is helpful when the symbol to be decoded has a large number of pixels per element (e.g. a large Data Matrix with a 100 mil cell size, or a 1D symbol with large bar widths). This feature improves processing speed, because the image sizes are smaller.
Lock Settings Lock Settings Read the symbols below to lock or unlock imager settings. Note: This feature does not lock preamble and postamble programming symbols, Clear XML Rules, or postamble erase/none commands.
