STEP 3 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE READER To mount the Matrix 400™, use the mounting brackets to obtain the most suitable position for the reader. Two of the most common mounting configurations are shown in the figures below. Other mounting solutions are provided in the Matrix 400™...
MATRIX 400™ QUICK GUIDE STEP 4 – FOCUS THE READER Matrix 400™ provides a built-in tool called Blue Diamonds™ to aid focusing the reader. The Blue Diamonds™ are accessed through the X-PRESS™ Interface. Remove the lens cover in order to focus the reader.
MATRIX 400™ QUICK GUIDE STEP 5 – CALIBRATE IMAGE DENSITY In order to function correctly to the fullest extent of its capabilities, Matrix 400™ must acquire information regarding image density or PPI (pixels per inch). This calibration takes place through the X-PRESS™ Interface and a special Image Density Calibration chart.
MATRIX 400™ QUICK GUIDE STEP 6 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION Once Matrix 400™ has calibrated image density, you can configure it for optimal code reading relative to your application. This configuration can be performed either through the X-PRESS™ Interface or the VisiSet™...
MATRIX 400™ QUICK GUIDE STEP 7 – INSTALLING VISISET™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM ™ VisiSet is a Datalogic reader configuration tool providing several important advantages: • Autolearning Wizard for new users; • Defined configuration directly stored in the reader; • Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.
