Labels One label is found inside the window of the scanner noting that this device is a CDRH Class IIa laser product and EN 60825-1 LASERKLASSE 1. Also, on the scanner is a label on the back of the unit. This label contains information such as the model number, the date of manufacture and the serial number. The following are samples of the labels that are found on the unit. Applications and Protocols The following chart lists the version identifiers for all the communication protocols.
Maintenance Smudges or dirt that appears on the scanner window can interfere with proper scanning. Therefore, the window will need occasional cleaning. 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the scanner window. Configuration of the Scanner to the Host System The scanner has been configured at the time of manufacture based on information supplied at the time of order.
Scanner Connections In order for the scanner to maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60825-1. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Find the 19-pin female end of the scanner link cable and the widest key located above pins L and A.
Attaching the Scanner to the Stand and Work Surface The scanner can be positioned in a vertical orientation with the Metrologic stand (Part #45478). To attach the unit to the stand and work surface purchase the following: four 6-32 x ½" (maximum length) machine screws and two #10 panhead or #8 countersunk wood screws. 1. Lay the scanner face down on a clean cloth to prevent any scratches from occurring on the output window. Position the scanner so the red and green LEDs are pointed toward yourself. 2.
Scanning Bar Codes The depth of field for the scanner is 203mm to 457mm (8" to 18") from the scanner window. The symbol must be passed through the scan area in order for the scanner to recognize the bar code.
