NOTES 2 PowerScan® Scanner
Unpacking and Inspecting Your Scanner After unpacking your new scanner, check the contents of the shipping carton to ensure all the items you ordered are included: • PowerScan® handheld scanner • Interface Cable • Power Supply (if you ordered one) • User’s Guide (this manual) • Programming Guide • Optional Accessories that you ordered. (The PowerScan handheld bar code scanner can be purchased with or without accessory kits.
Installation Refer to Figure 1 and follow these steps to install the scanner: Consult your host terminal manual to determine if power must be turned off before connecting peripheral devices such as the scanner. 1. Should you need to disconnect the interface (I/F) cable from the scanner, loosen the Phillips head screw at the bottom of the handle and rotate the cable restraint clip away from the cable to release it. Reverse this procedure to connect the cable.
Figure 1.
How to Scan Figure 2 illustrates some tips to help get the best scanning results: 1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code. 2. The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. The scanner cannot correctly read if the entire bar code is not scanned. Figure 2.
Scanning Range There are currently four different model types for this scanner. Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum scanning results. The following diagrams provide range of field information for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR) and Extra Long Range (XLR).
In the context of the illustration below, a "mil" represents the minimum bar code element width. Measurements are based on HD models set with the standard 28° scan width (as opposed to the Half Angle setting of 14°). Reference the PowerScan Programming Manual for more information about the Half Angle feature. NOTE Specifications are subject to change without notice. Figure 4. Depth of Field (HD) Depth of Field FRONT OF SCANNER Paper Labels (HD decoded model, Code 39) 3 mil 4 mil 5 mil 7.
In the context of the illustration below, a "mil" represents the minimum bar code element width. Measurements are based on LR models set with the a 14° scan width (as opposed to the alternate Full Angle setting of 28°). Reference the PowerScan Programming Manual for more information about the Half Angle feature. NOTE Specifications are subject to change without notice. Figure 5. Depth of Field (LR) Depth of Field FRONT OF SCANNER Paper Labels (LR decoded model, Code 39) 7.
In the context of the illustration below, a "mil" represents the minimum bar code element width. Measurements are based on XLR models set with a 10° scan angle width. NOTE Specifications are subject to change without notice. Figure 6.
Active Symbologies The active (enabled) bar code symbologies in the factory defaults are: • Code 39 (C39) • Code 128 (C128) • Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2 of 5) Your scanner should be pre-programmed with these standard factory default settings, unless... ...it was shipped to you programmed with unique, customer configuration settings. ...you or another user have made changes to scanner programming.
Test Your Scanner The bar code below (Figure 7) is provided to test your scanner’s ability to read a typical Code 39 label. Figure 7. Code 39 Bar Code Sample T e s t Figure 8. Scanner Labeling CLASS No. SERIAL No. MFG. DATE: E. AV LASER RADIATION-DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM Complies with 21CFR 1040 ACN 1mw - 650-685nm CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT 073200496 and part 15 of FCC Rules. Based on 100 sec., EN60825-1/A11:1996 Applicable patents are listed on label inside unit.
Laser Cautions The PowerScan bar code scanner is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS/CDRH 21CFR Subchapter J for Class II laser products (SR and LR) and Class IIIa (XLR). Class II and IIIa products are not considered to be hazardous.
Troubleshooting You can isolate problems with your scanning system by performing these checks (refer to Figure 9): 14 1. If your scanner’s cable is designed to receive Power Off the Terminal (P.O.T.), it will not operate unless it is connected to a working host terminal that is powered on. 2. Ensure that the interface cable is securely attached to the host. Consult your technical support manager or refer to your host system manual to identify the proper connection for the scanner. 3.
