TC1100 POSITIONING The TC1100 scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the TC1100 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°. Follow the suggestions for the best orientation: The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 23.
Tilt angle. Figure 25 - Tilt angle GFC-TC1100 ACCESSORY The GFC-TC1100 is an 80° deflection mirror that is mounted directly to the TC1100 Scanner or Scan Engine. Figure 26 - GFC-TC1100 The overall dimensions are provided in the figure below and can be used for its...

TC1100 DATA FORMAT 4.3.1 Header/Terminator Selection The header/terminator selection is not effected by the reading of the restore default code. In fact, header and terminator default values depend on the interface selection: RS232: no header, terminator CR-LF WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER These default values are always restored through the reading of RS232 or WEDGE interface selection code, see chapter 3.
Page 45
REFERENCES SET CUSTOM EXTENDED HEADER/TERMINATOR KEYS The extended Header/Terminator keys for Wedge Interface users can be customized by defining them through a simple keyboard setting procedure. For example, the Numeric Keypad keys can be set for use as Headers or Terminators by substituting the default extended keys using this procedure.
Page 46
TC1100 Set Custom Extended Header/Terminator Keys $+FB1$- Enter the code above. • If the first 4 KEYS (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) are not available on your keyboard, you can only substitute them with keys not used, or substitute them with each other.
ON-LINE: the TC1100 reader is connected to an external Presence Sensor using EXT TRIG+ and EXT TRIG- inputs. During the active phase of the presence sensor, the TC1100 tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. If the operation is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface in the format defined by the current configuration.
Page 48
In this mode the illuminator is always ON and TC1100 is continuously scanning. The reading phase is enabled when a barcode enters the reading zone of the camera and is terminated after a fixed number of scans without a code.
REFERENCES 4.5.2 Reads per Cycle In general, a reading cycle corresponds to the Phase ON / Phase OFF times of a device. The resulting effects of this parameter on code reading depend on other related configuration conditions. Here are the definitions of Phase ON and Phase OFF times. When one read per cycle is selected, the device decodes only one code during the Phase ON period and immediately turns to the Phase OFF.
