MATRIX 300™ QUICK GUIDE STEP 2 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE READER To mount the Matrix 300™, use the mounting bracket to obtain the most suitable position for the reader. The most common mounting configuration is shown in the figure below.
Page 6
MATRIX 300™ QUICK GUIDE When mounting the Matrix 300™ take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the reader can read a code at any tilt angle provided the code fits into the Field Of View (FOV).
STEP 3 – AIM AND AUTOFOCUS THE READER (Liquid Lens Models only) Matrix 300™ provides a built-in laser pointer aiming system to aid reader positioning. For Liquid Lens models the autofocus feature is also incorporated into this function. The aiming system is accessed through the X-PRESS™ Interface.
Setup Function If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 5 (five) seconds Matrix 300™ will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Setup LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300™ emits a long low pitched beep.

Learn Function If the autolearning cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 300™ will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Learn LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300™ emits a long low pitched beep.
STEP 5 – INSTALLING VISISET™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM ™ VisiSet is a Datalogic reader configuration tool providing several important advantages: Setup Wizard for rapid configuration and new users; Defined configuration directly stored in the reader; Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing the reader to be considered as a remote object to be configured and monitored.
MATRIX 300™ QUICK GUIDE STEP 6 – CONFIGURATION USING SETUP WIZARD The Setup Wizard option is advised for rapid configuration or for new users. It allows reader configuration in a few easy steps. Select the Setup Wizard button from the Main menu.
