What to do if Datalogic DS8100A doesn't respond to external signal end?
If the Datalogic Barcode Reader does not respond correctly to the expected external signal end in On Line Mode or Serial On Line Mode, check the “Reading Phase Timeout” parameterization in the OPERATING MODES folder of the Genius™ software configuration program.
How to display data on the terminal from Datalogic DS8100A Barcode Reader?
To display data on the terminal from your Datalogic Barcode Reader, enable the Data Communication Settings/Main-Auxiliary Port\Data Tx parameter in the Genius™ program.
Why Datalogic Scanner Master’s “Phase On” LED is not lit in On Line Mode?
If the Master’s “Phase On” LED is not lit (when the external trigger activates) on your Datalogic Scanner, consider the following: * Ensure you're checking the correct connector (26-pin or C-BOX 100 spring clamp connectors). * Verify the sensor is connected to the EXT TRIG/PS input. * Confirm power is supplied to the photo sensor. * Check if power is supplied to one of the two EXT TRIG/PS (NPN output). * Check if one of the two EXT TRIG/PS is grounded (PNP output). * Ensure the photo sensor LEDs (if any) are working correctly. * Verify the sensor/reflector system is aligned (if present).
What to do if Datalogic Barcode Reader is not triggered in Serial On Line Mode?
If the Datalogic Barcode Reader is not triggered in Serial On Line Mode, check the following: * In the Genius™ program, go to the OPERATING MODE folder and verify that serial on line is enabled as the 'On Line options' parameter value. * Ensure that the Start-Stop strings are correctly assigned. * Confirm that the serial trigger source is correctly connected and configured.
What to check if Datalogic DS8100A is not transmitting to the host?
If your Datalogic Barcode Reader is not transmitting data to the host, ensure the serial cable is connected and the wiring is correct. If using the MAIN RS232 or RS485 interface, verify that the reference ground is connected to the proper SGND Main Isolated (GND_ISO), ensuring it's not different from the GND power ground. If using CBX, make sure the RS485 termination switch is OFF. Confirm that the serial host settings match the serial device settings.
How to troubleshoot a Datalogic DS8100A Barcode Reader when the power LED is off?
To troubleshoot a Datalogic Barcode Reader with the power LED off: * Verify the power connection. * If using an external power supply (like PWR-120), ensure it’s connected to the AC source. * If using rail power, check if the rail has power. * If using CBX100, ensure it has power (check the switch and LED). * Measure the voltage at pin 13 and 25 (for the 26-pin connector) or at the spring clamp Vdc and GND (for CBX).
Why is Datalogic DS8100A transmitting incorrect data to the host?
If data transferred to the host from your Datalogic Barcode Reader is incorrect, corrupted, or incomplete, check the HEADER, TERMINATOR, SEPARATOR, and FILL CHAR values in the Data Communication Settings/Data Format folder of the Genius™ program. Also, verify the CODE FIELD LENGTH value and ensure that the COM port parameters are correctly assigned.
What to do if Datalogic Barcode Reader's 'Phase On' LED is lit but there are no reading results?
If the Master’s “Phase On” LED is correctly lit, but no reading results are occurring, ensure that the software configuration is consistent with the application conditions, such as the operating mode. Use the Genius™ software configuration program, select the OPERATING MODES folder, and check the related parameters.
How to troubleshoot Datalogic Barcode Reader when the power LED is off?
If the "Power On" LED is not lit, verify the following: Is the device connected to a power source? If using an external power supply, is it connected to the AC source? If using rail power, is the rail powered? If using a C-BOX 100, verify it has power by checking the switch and LED. Check the connection to either the 26-pin connector or the C-BOX 100 spring clamp connectors. Measure the voltage at pin 13 and 25 (for the 26-pin connector) or at spring clamp 1 and 2 (for the C-BOX 100).
Why is my Datalogic Barcode Reader not transmitting data to the host?
If your Datalogic Barcode Reader isn't transmitting data to the host, check if the serial cable is connected and correctly wired. When using MAIN RS232 or RS485, ensure the reference ground is connected to SGND Main Isolated (GND_ISO), being cautious of differences from GND power ground. If using CBX, make sure the RS485 termination switch is OFF. Ensure the serial host settings match the device settings.
