About DataMan 8600

The DataMan 8600 readers offer the industry’s most advanced technology for reading 1D and 2D codes regardless of size, quality, printing method or surface, and belong to the only industrial handheld ID reader family that offers Industrial Ethernet communication. DataMan 8600 is available with patented 1DMax+ with Hotbars, class-leading 2-D algorithms and future-proof modular communication slide-ins.

The DataMan 8600 readers use Cognex’s patented UltraLight® technology and 2DMax+ algorithms to read the most challenging Direct Part Mark barcodes. UltraLight® illumination provides flexible lighting control to create dark field, bright field and diffuse lighting. Additionally, DataMan 8600 features a tuning button for easy configuration and extended read attempts.

The DataMan 8600 readers are available with the following communication options:

  • Ethernet
  • USB
  • RS-232
  • Bluetooth
  • WiFi

An intelligent base station is also provided when the DataMan 8600 reader uses the wireless (Bluetooth or WiFi) communication module. The base station acts as a router between the reader and your computer or network. Infrastructure Mode does not use the base station for communication. (See Infrastructure Mode.)

Note: Henceforward, the term ‘wireless’ refers in this document to the WiFi or to the Bluetooth communication module of the reader.
