    This manual provides the necessary instructions for installing and using the Opticon LPN5627 and LPR5627 Fixed Position Scanners. The manual is organized as follows: Section 1 Introduction and Getting Started Describes the general operation of the LPN5627 and LPR5627 scanners. 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 LPN5627 and LPR5627 (Raster) Fixed Position Scanners are miniature, 500 scan per second, laser bar code readers designed to be easily incorporated into host equipment. The high scan speed and small physical size make 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 LPN5627 / LPR5627 scanners. 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.

  • Page 12: Avoiding Specular Reflection

    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 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. The following table shows the message that will be transmitted for each condition.

  • Page 17: Section 4 Configuring The Scanner

    Section 4 Configuring the Scanner Since the operation of the LPN5627 / LPR5627 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.
