  • Page 28: Mounting The Scanner On The Stand

    To mount the scanner on the optional stand: 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. The two rear threaded inserts on the bottom of the scanner will align with the proper mounting holes on the stand.

  • Page 29: Mounting The Scanner On The Mounting Bracket

    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). Screw Mount Position the assembled base on a flat surface. Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount hole until the base of the stand is secure.
  • Page 30 Tilt the scanner bracket in the opposite direction to access the rear scanner mounting holes (which are aligned with the rear inserts on the bottom of the scanner), then insert the remaining two screws provided through the two rear mounting holes and into the scanner’s threaded inserts.

  • Page 32: Location And Positioning

    NOTE Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product’s specification, where the scanner will not exceed its temperature range. For instance, do not mount the scanner onto or next to a large heat source. When placing the scanner with another device, ensure there is proper convection or venting for heat.
  • Page 33 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.
  • Page 34 Check the near and far range on several symbols. If they are not reasonably consistent there may be a printing quality problem that can degrade the performance of the system. Motorola can provide advice on how to improve the installation.

  • Page 35: Conveyor Applications

Also consider the orientation of the symbol with respect to the conveyor direction. the relationship of the conveyor velocity with respect to a symbol positioned perpendicular to the conveyor direction...

  • Page 36: Embedded Applications Requiring A Window

    Use the following guidelines for applications that require a window in front of the MiniScan. NOTE Motorola does not recommend placing an exit window in front of the MiniScan; however, the following information is provided for applications that require such a window.
  • Page 37 CAUTION Consult an opto-mechanical engineer to recommend an appropriate window material and to determine if coatings are appropriate for the specific application. NOTE 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.

The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF417 symbols.

  • Page 45: Symbol Ms3204 Scan Patterns

    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: Scan Angle Selection

    High Density Single Scan Line Scan Pattern Figure 3-7 Scan Angle Selection The Symbol MS1204FZY and MS954 scanners support two pre-set scan angles (see each scanner’s technical specifications) Selecting Scan Angle via SSI To use SSI to select the scan angle, issue the SSI PARAM_SEND command with the NUM_SCAN_ANGLE (191) parameter number.

  • Page 47: Scanning Tips

    Position the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together. RIGHT 012345 Position at an Angle Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode. Trigger Options Continuous The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active.

  • Page 48: Level Trigger

    When a bar code is presented, the laser remains on until either the bar code is decoded or removed, or the session timeout expires. Once the bar code is decoded, the scanner will not decode it again until the bar code is removed.

    If three beeps occur during normal operation, it is due to a reset and any work in progress is lost. If this occurs often, contact Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support. Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.
