2. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. The flex cable is used to connect MT780 to the host side. There are 10 pins on the MT780 (engine) side and 12 pins on the host side. Please see 2-10 for more details of flex cable.
When power is initially applied, the MT780 is activated and begins the process of initialization. Once initialization (duration ≦ 10mS) is completed, the MT780 emits a power-up beep, enters Standby Mode and is ready for barcode scanning. The MT780 will enter Sleep (Idle) Mode and output a Power Down signal (Active high) after a programmable time period has elapsed without any activity.
20 mS until the successful scan is achieved, as indicated by the Buzzer signal. Wake signal can also be used to wake up the MT780, which, MUST also be kept low for at least 2 mS, will prompt the scan engine into Standby Mode.

(3) Supports both software & hardware trigger Interface Configuration Barcode: UART Scanning above barcode will set your MT780 to UART interface. ___________________________________________________________________________________...
MT780 enters Standby Mode and is ready for operation. 2. Once the MT780 triggered by either hardware or software method, it will emit a narrow, horizontal slab of light which is aligned with the sensor’s field of view.
MT780 Linear Image Scan Engine, Integration Guide, V2.8 Be aware of the tolerance for the pitch, roll and skew angle of barcode you are trying to scan. Pitch Angle: ± 65° Roll Angle: ± 50° Skew Angle: ± 25° ___________________________________________________________________________________...
Do not place the MT780 directly over the barcode. The light reflecting directly back into the MT780 from the barcode is known as specular reflection, which can make decoding difficult. The specular dead zone of MT780 is up to 5° depending on target distance and substrate glossiness.
MT780 Linear Image Scan Engine, Integration Guide, V2.8 The curvature degree of a scanned barcode is specified as below: Code 39 (L=32 mm) Code 39 (L=43 mm) Barcode Resolution 13 mil (0.33 mm) 20 mil (0.51 mm) R ≧ 15 mm R ≧...

MT780 Linear Image Scan Engine, Integration Guide, V2.8 The window size must increase as it is moved away from MT780 and should be sized to accommodate the field of view and illumination envelopes shown below: In the aspect of window, the performance of MT780 will be reduced due to any kind of scratch.
MT780 Linear Image Scan Engine, Integration Guide, V2.8 MARSON MB100 Demo Kit enables the development of products (P/N: 11A0-9801A20) and systems using the MT780 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 MT780 applications before integrating it into the host device.
MT780 Linear Image Scan Engine, Integration Guide, V2.8 The Sleep Mode is disabled by default. To enable Sleep Timeout, or the period of inactivity before MT780 enters Sleep Mode, please follow below steps Method A – Configuration Barcode Steps: 1. Scan SET MINUTE [.B030$] (or SET SECOND [.B029$]) 2.
1. Curly braces “{ }” must be included at both ends of each command. 2. To wake up MT780 from Sleep Mode, send any command or pull low at Trigger pin. You can set up your MT780 using the following method: 1.
