Quick Reference Guide 3 Introduction The new Symbol MiniScan family is the next generation of industrial fixed scanners. The scanners provide the quickest, easiest and most flexible integration of bar code scanning into all types of devices. The Symbol MiniScan family offers high performance scan engines, along with a housing, exit window, decoder and variety of interfaces (including USB) in a compact durable housing.
Symbol MiniScan Family of Scanners • Symbol MS120xFZY The Symbol MS120xFZY incorporates fuzzy logic for premium scanning performance on all types of 1-D and RSS bar codes including poorly printed and low contrast. • Symbol MS120xWA The Symbol MS120xWA features a broad 60° scan angle to accommodate large 1-D and RSS bar codes within an extremely close range. • Symbol MS954 The Symbol MS954, packaged in the smaller MiniScan enclosure, offers customers easier integration into tight areas.
Quick Reference Guide Accessories • For data connection: NOTE Only Symbol MiniScan scanner models ending in ‘07’ (e.g., Symbol MSxx07) can communicate over USB.

Quick Reference Guide 7 6. Program the Symbol MiniScan. Triggering option bar codes begin on page 8. Refer to the Symbol MiniScan Integration Guide for more information on selecting specific parameters. Scanning 1. Ensure all connections are secure. 2. Once power is applied to the Symbol MiniScan scanner the LED lights a continuous red. 3. Ensure the bar code is within scanning range. Align the bar code and trigger the unit. 4. Upon successful decode, the scanner LED turns green.
Symbol MiniScan Family of Scanners Triggering Options 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 does not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.
Quick Reference Guide 9 Continuous The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. In this mode, the scanner can be configured to scan and transmit a bar code and then not decode the same bar code for a set period of time (Time Between Same Bar Code) and not decode ANY bar code for a period of time (Time Between Different Bar Codes). This allows the user to tailor the application to the rate at which bar codes are presented.
Symbol MiniScan Family of Scanners Beeper Indications The beeper indicates the scanner status as follows: Beeper 3 Beeps Indication Power up (or reset) occurred. (Symbol MS220x and MS320x models only.) 1 Beep A bar code is successfully decoded. 4 Beeps Transmission error. Bar code data was not received by the host. Fast warble A programming parameter was entered successfully. LED Indicators LED Indication Red Scanner is on. Green A bar code is successfully decoded.
Quick Reference Guide 11 rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view. Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern (Symbol MS220x, MS320x) The semi-omnidirectional pattern is an alternative to the full omnidirectional pattern, that scans highly truncated 1-D and RSS bar codes. The bar code must be presented horizontally with no more than a 20o tilt.
Symbol MiniScan Family of Scanners High Density Single Scan Line (Symbol MS220x, MS320x) The single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1-D bar codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes. The single line is ideal for 1-D bar codes. Always Raster Pattern (Symbol MS220x, MS320x) The Symbol MS220x and MS320x can create an adjustable raster pattern of a programmed height. This pattern is best for PDF417 environments.
Quick Reference Guide 13 True Single Scan Line (Symbol MS120x, MS954) The Symbol MS120x and MS954 are 1-D scanners and emit a single scan line. Bar Codes Following are some frequently used bar codes for some of the Symbol MiniScan scanners. NOTE The bar codes that follow are not supported by all Symbol MiniScan scanners. See the section Laser Patterns beginning on page 10 for more information.
