  • Page 4: Section 1 Introduction And Getting Started

    This manual provides the necessary instructions for installing and using the Opticon LMD 1135 Fixed Position Scanner. The manual is organized as follows: Section 1 Introduction and Getting Started Describes the general operation of the LMD 1135 scanner. Also provides a Quick Start- Up Procedure that allows you to begin using the scanner immediately.

  • Page 5: Section 1 Introduction And Getting Started

    Introduction and Getting Started Product Overview The LMD 1135 Fixed Position Scanner is a miniature, 100 scan per second, laser bar code reader designed to be easily incorporated into host equipment. The small physical size makes the scanner easy to integrate into any hardware design. Durability and reliability are assured.

    The following table shows the depth-of-field “specifications” (closest to farthest reading distances) for the LMD 1135 scanner. The actual performance may differ slightly from unit to unit. Also, it is important to note that this data was measured under ideal conditions using high quality bar code labels. In a “real world”...
  • Page 13 The table above shows the field-of-view at various distances from the window. The field-of-view is the maximum width that the scanner is capable of reading. It is the distance from the left edge of the view to the right edge. A bar code label positioned anywhere within this field-of-view can be decoded. The field-of-view is also a measure of the widest bar code label that can be read.

  • Page 14: Measuring Scanner Performance

    Measuring Scanner Performance A method for properly positioning the unit is to program the scanner for Trigger Disable (S7) and Continuous Read (S2) modes. The scanner will be always on and will continuously read the same bar code.

  • Page 15: Tips For Achieving High Throughput

    There are several parameters that can enhance your confidence that the correct bar code data is transmitted. Note that by emphasizing the accuracy and security of the data other areas of the scanner operation may be affected, for example, you may not achieve the highest throughput.

  • Page 16: Tips For Verifying The Presence Of A Bar Code

    Your Opticon scanner, when operated in the Trigger Enabled mode, can be programmed to transmit an error message indicating whether or not a bar code was present. See Section 33 of Appendix C of this manual for details.

  • Page 17: Section 4 Configuring The Scanner

    Manual No. 25-ULPNR102-01; Mar, 2005 Section 4 Configuring the Scanner Since the operation of the LMD 1135 scanners are microprocessor controlled, it is possible to modify or program its operation to match your specific application. Changes in parameter settings can be accomplished two ways.

    While in this mode the scanner will beep intermittently. 2. Scan the bar code(s) associated with the desired parameter(s). The scanner will beep when the bar code is read. Note: because of the close proximity of bar codes on the page, it is important to aim carefully to ensure that only the desired bar code is scanned.

    (ZZ) (Trigger enabled mode only) The operation of the scanner in the various read modes is described in the table below. The “Continuous Read” mode is helpful in positioning the scanner for optimum reading. In “Continuous Read,” the scanner’s buzzer functions like a Geiger counter, sounding the most active at the position achieving the greatest number of good reads.

    In the case of a poor label which generates an intermediate “no decode” within a sequence of four scans where three of the four have resulted in “good reads”, the scanner will transmit the data after the fourth scan. In other words, a “no decode” does not restart the sequence.
