  • Page 19: Chapter 1 Mk1200 Introduction

    The MK1200 MicroKiosk provides retail consumers access to data critical to making an informed purchasing decision. The MK1200 verifies prices on bar coded merchandise and obtains up-to-the-minute information on in-store promotions, and its easy-to-read display can be used as an electronic billboard for instant in-store merchandising.

These precautions include, but are not limited to, working on an ESD mat and ensuring that the operator is properly grounded. Failure to apply proper ESD precautions can damage the MK1200 and void the warranty.

  • Page 23: External Ports

    Ethernet (10 Base-T) cable connected to the Ethernet/Bias-T port provides both data communication and power to the MK1200. Power Port A Symbol power supply connects to the power port (2.0 mm barrel jack connector) on the MK1200. For more information, see Connecting the MK1200 on page 2-7 Technical Specifications on page A-1.

    MK1200 MicroKiosk for CE .NET 4.2 Product Reference Guide Bar Code Scanning The MK1200 decodes any traditional retail or PDF417 bar code presented in its field of view. A user-developed application running on the MK1200 controls the scan engine and its scanning mode.

  • Page 27: Cyclone Omnidirectional

    1 - 9 Scanning with the MK1200 Figure 1-4 Cyclone Omnidirectional In Cyclone Omnidirectional mode the scan pattern decodes standard 1-dimensional symbologies in any orientation. This mode cannot be used to decode 2D bar codes (PDF417). Cyclone Omnidirectional Pattern Figure 1-5...

  • Page 28: Smart Raster

    Figure 1-6 The raster pattern must cover the top and bottom of a 2D symbol. If not, pull the bar code further away until the pattern completely covers the bar code. Make sure the scan pattern extends at least three quarters of an inch beyond the edges of the bar code.

  • Page 29: Specular Reflection

    This phenomenon is called specular reflection. To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too oblique an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.
