Introduction

This guide provides basic instructions for setting up, programming, and using DS8108-HC scanners.

Presentation Mode

NOTE: Cables may vary depending on configuration.
The scanner automatically detects the host interface type and uses the default setting.

Useful Barcodes

NOTE: An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting.

Set Defaults

USB Caps Lock Override

Night Mode with Vibrate

Picklist Mode

Picklist Mode enables you to pick out and decode a barcode from a group of barcodes that are printed close together by placing the aiming pattern on the barcode you want to decode.

ISBT Blood Bag Concatenation

Select an option for concatenating pairs of ISBT code types:

• Enable ISBT Concatenation (default) – Two ISBT barcodes are required for decode.
• Disable ISBT Concatenation – ISBT barcodes are decoded as individual barcodes.
• Autodiscriminate ISBT Concatenation – If a pair of ISBT barcodes is present, the scanner concatenates. Or else, a single barcode is transmitted.

Hands-Free Mode
Scan one of the following barcodes to enable or disable the Hands-free mode.

• Enable Hands-free Mode (default) – When the scanner is in the presentation cradle or Intellistand, it turns the illumination on slightly to detect the presence of a barcode and automatically triggers when a barcode is detected. Lifting the scanner causes it to behave according to the setting of the Hand-Held Trigger Mode.
• Disable Hands-free Mode – The scanner behaves according to the setting of the Hand-Held Trigger Mode whether or not it is in a cradle or Intellistand. The illumination only turns on when the scanner is lifted or when the trigger is pulled, depending on which Hand-Held Trigger Mode is selected.
