Chapter 1 Introduction Caution Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified here can result in hazardous laser light exposure. Overview The MiniScan family of industrial fixed-mount scanners are specifically designed for stand- alone applications, and OEM applications such as kiosks.
Page 20
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Figure 1-1. MiniScan Family of Scanners MS XX07 Series scanners provide easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning into a host device, and include the following models: • The MS 1207FZY offers fuzzy logic for premium scanning performance on all types of 1D bar codes including poorly printed and low contrast symbols.
Introduction the need for precise positioning of linear 1D bar codes. The MS 3207 provides an easy and cost-effective way to enhance existing OEM devices with high- performance 1D and 2D scanning, making it the ideal solution for applications that require fast, accurate scanning such as kiosks, ATMs, listening stations, lottery machines, and vending machines.
The filtered signal is digitized into a Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). Timing information is analyzed by the decoder micro-controller to decode and transmit the data contained in the bar code. Data transmission is carried out using Symbol's proprietary SSI Interface.
Page 23
Introduction Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the intended host. It also contains a beeper and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and external beeper. The interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse, USB, or TTL level RS- 232.
This chapter provides information on unpacking, mounting, and installing the MiniScan. Unpacking Remove the MiniScan from its packing and inspect for damage. If the scanner is damaged, call the Symbol Support Center at the telephone number listed on page xiii.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Mounting There are three mounting holes (threaded inserts) on the bottom of the chassis. The following figures provide mounting dimensions for the MiniScan scanner housings. For a mounting template, see Mounting Template on page 14-1. Note: Use only non-magnetic M3x.5 screws with a maximum length of 3.6M to mount the MiniScan scanner chassis.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Mounting the Scanner on the Optional Stand To mount the scanner on the optional stand: 1. Place the bottom of the scanner on the stand’s scanner mount, aligning the scanner’s center threaded insert (beneath the scan window) with the center mounting hole on the front of the stand.
Page 29
Installation Note: efore tightening the wingnut under the base, ensure that the flat areas on the flexible neck fit securely in the grooves in the base. Mounting the Stand (optional) You can attach the base of the scanner’s stand to a flat surface using two screws or double- sided tape (not provided).
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Mounting the Scanner on the Optional Mounting Bracket The optional mounting bracket kit consists of a scanner bracket, a mounting bracket, and the hardware required to mount the scanner. The bracket kit accommodates adjustable angles for optimal positioning of the scanner. To mount the MiniScan scanner on the bracket, first secure the scanner to the scanner bracket, then attach the mounting bracket to the wall (see Figure 2-5 on page...
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Connecting the MiniScan To connect the MiniScan to the host, connect the scanner cables in the order shown in Figure 2-6. To Host Beeper (Optional) Trigger Jack (Optional) Figure 2-7 Trigger or Photo Sensor (Optional) Figure 2-6.

The MiniScan can be mounted to read symbols that are automatically presented, or that are presented in a pre-determined location. In these applications, MinScan positioning with respect to the symbol is critical. Failure to properly position the MiniScan can result in unsatisfactory scanning performance. A thermal analysis is also recommended.

Figure 2-8. Usable Scan Length Diagram 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.
Installation 4. Center the symbol (left to right) in the scan line whenever possible. 5. Position the symbol so that the scan line is as near as possible to perpendicular to the bars and spaces in the symbol. 6. Avoid specular reflection (glare) off the symbol by tilting the top or bottom of the symbol away from the scanner.
Page 38
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Symbol is Perpendicular to Conveyor Movement With the symbol bars perpendicular to the conveyor belt direction (Picket Fence presentation) the relationship is: V = (R x (F-W)) / N where: V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second)
Page 39
Installation 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)

Multi-interface Miniscan products fall into the TTL RS-232 device category. All standard RS-232 cables available from Symbol for the Miniscan family measure six feet or less, and should not present a problem. If a particular host does not support TTL levels, a separate conversion cable is available (25-62186-xx) which contains electronics to adapt the TTL levels of a multi-interface Miniscan into standard RS-232 levels.
Chapter 3 Scanning Overview This chapter provides information on scan patterns, scanning, triggering options, and beeper and LED definitions. MiniScan Scan Patterns MS 1207FZY and MS 1207WA Scan Pattern MS 1207FZY and MS 1207WA scanners emit a single scan line to quickly decode 1D bar codes.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide MS 2207 and MS 2207VHD Scan Patterns The MS 2207 and MS 2207VHD 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.
Scanning MS 3207 Scan Patterns The MS 3207 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.
MS XX07 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 360 of rotation, eliminating the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.
Scanning 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 2-11. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful decode.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Trigger Options Continuous (Default) The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. The scanner can be configured to scan and transmit a bar code, and then not decode the same bar code or any bar code for a set period of time. See Timeout Between Decodes on page 10-21 to customize the application to the rate at which bar codes are presented.
Scanning Blink Note: This option is supported by the MS 1207FZY and MS 1207WA only. The laser blinks at a 25% duty cycle (reduced to 10% after 30 seconds of inactivity), until a bar code is presented. When a bar code is presented, the laser remains on until either the bar code is decoded or removed, or the session timeout expires.
If three (MS 2207/2207VHD/3207 beeps occur during normal operation, it is due to a reset and any only) work in progress is lost. If this occurs often, contact the Symbol Support Center. Parameter Menu Scanning 2 Beeps- short high tone Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.

MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available.
Page 257
RS-232 Interface None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to the Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 259
RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data.
Page 260
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide ACK/NAK with ENQ This combines the two previous options. ACK/NAK with ENQ XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send.
RS-232 Interface Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when an ACK/NAK Software Handshaking mode or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking is enabled. Minimum: 2 Sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec...

Chapter 13 Advanced Data Formatting Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to a host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. ADF can be implemented in the scanner through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 13-8.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs. Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: •...
Advanced Data Formatting ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules for scan data. An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes applied by the manufacturer.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Rule 1: The Code 128 Scanning Rule Step Bar Code On Page Beep Indication Begin New Rule 13-8 High High Code 128 13-12 High High Send next 5 characters 13-24 High High Send <CTRL M> 13-44 High High Send next 5 characters...
Page 285
Advanced Data Formatting where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily you would send this data as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, you may want to send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) and the cashier keys the price manually.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example: When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1. It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 13-11 after...
Advanced Data Formatting Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software can have one or more default rules. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable default rules, enter the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data.
MS XX07 Series Integration Guide Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with Send Pause on page 13-28 inserts a pause in the data transmission. To set a pause, which is measured in 0.1 second intervals, scan a two-digit number (i.e., two numeric bar codes). For example, scanning bar codes 0 and 1 inserts a 0.1 second pause;...
