  • Page 8: Mounting The Scanner

    Mounting the Scanner Mounting the Scanner This section describes how to design the mounting for optimum scanner performance. General Considerations A typical system uses the scanner mounted inside a host enclosure, with an opening for the scanning pattern to exit and read bar codes. The open- ing should be the size of the scanner field of view at a minimum, but only exposing as much of the scanner as necessary.

  • Page 19: Integrating The Scanner To Read At The Proper Distance

    Mounting the Scanner Integrating the Scanner to Read at the Proper Dis- tance When deciding how to mount the OEM scanner, there are many criteria that must be considered. First, there are minimum and maximum dis- tances that the bar code can be from the front of the scanner to be prop- erly read, depending on the size of the bar code.

  • Page 20: Design Of The Scanner Opening

    Mounting the Scanner Design of the Scanner Opening The design and placement of the scanner opening within a host enclosure are critical for optimum system performance. A typical system uses the scanner mounted inside a host enclosure, with an opening to allow the scanner Field of View to exit the scanner window and read bar codes.

  • Page 21: Integrating The Scanner Behind A Window

    Mounting the Scanner Integrating the Scanner Behind a Window The addition of a host enclosure window could degrade scanner performance. This is due to the optical reflective surfaces that will cause interfer- ence with the imaging technology. CAUTION It is recommended to conduct scan performance testing with any win- dow to determine if the performance level is acceptable for the applica- tion.

  • Page 22: Esd Protection

    Mounting the Scanner ESD Protection The host enclosure design must provide adequate ESD protection for the scanner. Ideally, static discharge should not be allowed contact with the scanner. The preferred method to prevent static discharge is to provide a long discharge path to all circuits. The scanner is intended to be mounted inside a host enclosure.
