10 MAINTENANCE

10.1 CLEANING

Clean the laser beam output window periodically for correct operation of the scanner (see
Figure A and Figure B in chapter "General View").
Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance.
Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments.
Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.
Clean the window of the DS8100A when the scanner is turned off or at least
when the laser beam is not active.
WARNING
10.2 CBX/SC4000 BACKUP & RESTORE
Backup and Restore is vital to all applications in that it provides a method to quickly replace a
reader and return the station to full capacity in the event of a failure. The CBX/SC4000
Backup and Restore procedure is the preferred method since it always provides complete
backup and restore functions (Configuration and Environmental parameters).
When the DS8100A scanner is connected through CBX series connection boxes, Backup
and Restore is provided through the BM100 accessory module installed inside the CBX100
or CBX500 connection box.
If the DS8100A scanner is integrated into an ID-NET™ network having an SC4000 ID-NET™
controller as Master, then the SC4000 also provides the Backup and Restore procedure.
This procedure can be performed directly from the Genius™ Device menu.
To manually perform the Backup and Restore procedure see the relative BM100 or SC4000
manual for details.

10.3 AUTOMATIC SCANNER REPLACEMENT (ASR)

The ASR procedure is available for backward compatibility or for
applications that do not use the CBX/SC4000, however it is not the
preferred method.
NOTE
The Datalogic Automatic Scanner Replacement (ASR) procedure allows restoring system
functioning automatically after one or more scanners are replaced in a Master/Slave
Lonworks network.
