  • Page 14: Step 3 Consider Read Range And Scan Width

    Read range is the distance from the scanner in which a passing label can be read. For the MS-810, read range varies from 2 to 30 inches depending on label density and optical version of scanner. Scan width is that distance across the scan arc in which a label can be read. For a moving label, the closer to the scanner, the shorter the time it will be within the scan width, and hence the fewer scans it will receive.

    Pitch label slightly to avoid specular reflection, the return of direct, non-dif- fused light. For the MS-810 raster scanner, specular reflection is avoided by pitching labels at least 5° plus or minus from a line perpendicular to the mir- ror.

  • Page 19: Step 8 Test Decode Rate With Static Label

    (see “Number of Scans” on page A-18). Note: Variations between labels are common. For this reason, the greater number of sample labels you test, the more likely you are to achieve optimum decode rates. MS-810 Industrial Scanner User’s Manual...

  • Page 20: Step 9 Test Decode Rate With Moving Label

    This means that all variables, label speed, read range, etc. are significant. To calculate in advance the number of scans that the label will receive, use the for- mulas described in Appendix G, “Number of Scans,” on page A-18. 1-10 MS-810 Industrial Scanner User’s Manual...

  • Page 21: Step 10 Increase The Number Of Scans

    Where possible, you can increase the number of scans a label receives by: • Increasing label height • Decreasing label length • Increasing scan rate (spinning mirror speed) • Slowing label speed Appendix G, “Number of Scans,” on page A-18. 1-11 MS-810 Industrial Scanner User’s Manual...

    Interface Standards, established by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), specify such things as the signaling voltage levels, maximum cable lengths, and number of drivers. With Microscan devices, selection of interface is made by pin assignment and, in the case of the host communications, by software switching between RS-232 and RS-422.
