2-8 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Location and Positioning CAUTION NOTE The location and positioning guidelines provided do not consider unique application characteristics. It is recommended that an opto-mechanical engineer perform an opto-mechanical analysis prior to integration. Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product’s specification, where the scanner will not exceed its temperature range.
PAGE 33
Installation 2-9 where: D = Distance (in inches) from the front edge of the host housing to the bar code. d = The host housing’s internal optical path from the edge of the housing to the front of the MiniScan scanner. B = Internal optical path from the scan mirror to the front edge of the MiniScan scanner. A = Scan angle in degrees. NOTE Usable scan length is determined by this formula, or 90% of scan line at any working distance.
PAGE 34
2 - 10 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Testing the Usable Scan Length Method Due to the variety of symbol sizes, densities, print quality, etc., there is no simple way to calculate the ideal symbol distance. To optimize performance, use the Testing The Usable Scan Length positioning method: 1. Measure the maximum and minimum distances at which the symbols can be read. 2. Check the near and far range on several symbols.
PAGE 35
Installation 2 - 11 Conveyor Applications Conveyor applications require setting the conveyor velocity to optimize the scanner’s ability to read symbols. Also consider the orientation of the symbol with respect to the conveyor direction.
PAGE 36
2 - 12 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Symbol is Parallel to Conveyor Movement With the symbol bars parallel to the conveyor belt direction (ladder presentation) the relationship is: V = (R x H) / N where: V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second) R = Scan Rate of scanner (see technical specifications) H = Symbol height N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans) ght H=Symbol Hei Scan Beam lel to onveyor Paral Direction of C Symbol Figure 2-11 Symbol Parallel To Conveyo
PAGE 37
Installation 2 - 13 CAUTION NOTE Consult an opto-mechanical engineer to recommend an appropriate window material and to determine if coatings are appropriate for the specific application. Do not use polycarbonate material. Acrylic When fabricated by cell-casting, acrylic has very good optical quality and low initial cost. However, protect the surface from the environment as acrylic is susceptible to attack by chemicals, mechanical stresses, and UV light.
PAGE 38
2 - 14 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Window Coatings Table 2-4 on page 2-14 lists some exit window manufacturers and anti-reflection coaters. Anti-Reflection Coatings Apply an anti-reflection coating to the inside and/or outside of the window to significantly reduce the amount of light reflected off the window, back into the scan engine.
PAGE 39
Installation 2 - 15 Embedded Window Angle and Position If a window is placed between the MiniScan and the item to be scanned, observe the following guidelines: • Window Clear Opening - Make the clear opening of the window large enough so that the entire scan beam passes through the window. Cutting off any part of the beam can result in internal reflections and degrade decode range performance.

Chapter 3 Scanning Introduction This chapter provides information on scan patterns, scanning, triggering options, and beeper and LED definitions. MiniScan Scan Patterns Symbol MS1204FZY / MS954 Scan Pattern Symbol MS1204FZY and MS954 scanners emit a single scan line to quickly decode 1D bar codes.
PAGE 44
3-2 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Symbol MS2204 and MS2204VHD Scan Patterns The Symbol MS2204 and MS2204VHD generate different scan patterns (Smart Raster and High Density Single Scan Line) based on the software command received at the interface. The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols. NOTE The Symbol MS2204 and MS2204VHD also support omnidirectional and semi-omnidirectional scan patterns, but are not optimized for these patterns.
PAGE 45
Scanning 3-3 Symbol MS3204 Scan Patterns The Symbol MS3204 generates four scan patterns based on the software command received at the interface. These patterns are Smart Raster, Semi-omnidirectional, Omnidirectional, and High Density Single Scan Line. The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols. The omnidirectional pattern reads 1D bar codes in an omnidirectional manner.
PAGE 46
3-4 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Omnidirectional Scan Pattern The high-speed rotating omnidirectional scan pattern provides aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because there are no “holes” in the pattern. This ensures fast throughput at the point of activity and the ability to read 1D symbols in 360o of rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.
PAGE 47
Scanning 3-5 Scanning Tips When scanning, make sure the symbol to be scanned is within the scanning range. See Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful decode. Scan the Entire Symbol • The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol. • The larger the symbol, the farther away the scanner should be positioned. • Position the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.
PAGE 48
3-6 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide Level Trigger The laser is enabled and decode processing begins when the trigger line is activated. Decode processing continues until a good decode occurs, the trigger is released, or the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing is complete. The next decode attempt will not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.
PAGE 49
Scanning 3-7 Beeper and LED Definitions Table 3-1 provides beeper definitions, and Table 3-2 provides LED definitions. Table 3-1 Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Standard Use 1 Beep - short high tone A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled). 1 Beep - long high tone Thermal shutdown. 3 Beeps - short high tone (MS2204/2204VHD/3204 only) Power-on or reset. Occurs immediately after the scanner is turned on, indicating that the system software is working properly.
