1-2- Flex Cable The flex cable is used to connect MT10 to the host side. There are 13 pins on the MT10 (engine) side and 12 pins on the host side. Please see 2-10 for more details of flex cable.
20 ms until the successful scan is achieved, as indicated by the Buzzer/LED signals. In Sleep Mode, the MT10 can be waken up by the Trigger signal which MUST be kept low for at least 20 mS until the successful scan is achieved, as indicated by the Buzzer/LED signal.
3. The minimum duration of waking up MT10 from Sleep Mode by Trigger signal is about 2 ms. 4. The maximum duration of waking up MT10 from Sleep Mode by Trigger signal and completing decode (when barcode is within optimal focus) is...

3-5. Window Care In the aspect of window, the performance of MT10 will be reduced due to any kind of scratch. Thus, reducing the damage of window, there are few things have to be noticed. 1. Avoid touching the window as much as possible.
DEVELOPMENT MARSON MB100 Demo Kit enables the development of products (P/N: 11A0-9801A20) and systems using the MT10 on the MS Windows OS platform. Besides the Multi I/O board , the MB100 Demo Kit provides the software and hardware (P/N: 2006-1007X00) tools required for testing the MT10 applications before integrating it into the host device.
MT10 Linear Image Scan Engine, Integration Guide, V1.9 SLEEP IDLE MODE SLEEP IDLE MODE The Sleep (Idle) Mode is disabled by default. To enable Sleep (Idle) Mode, simply follow below instruction to configure the “Pre-Idle Time”, or the period of inactivity before MT10 enters Sleep (Idle) Mode, as appropriate.
The MT10 will return {MC11,OK} and {MC11,1,1,0} respectively as confirmation. 3. If you want above settings to be saved permanently in Flash ROM, send {MCMDWT1} to the MT10. Otherwise MT10 will be reset to default after wake up from sleep. Notes: Curly braces “{ }”...
