Laser Setup - Microscan MS-3 User Manual

Laser Setup

Laser Setup includes Laser On/Off and Laser Framing.
Note: See also "Auto Frame" on page 9-6
Laser On/Off
Usage: Laser On/Off extends the life of the laser. It is useful where there are
significant time gaps between symbols. It also provides visual confirma-
tion of a read cycle timeout and minimizes laser exposure to people.
Definition:
When enabled, the laser is ON only during the read cycle. When disabled,
the laser operates continuously.
Serial Cmd: <K700,laser on/off
off position,laser power>
Default: Disabled
Options: 0 = Disabled
Laser Framing Status
Usage: Useful in avoiding highly reflective objects, for filtering out unwanted sig-
nals, or avoiding the wrong symbols.
Definition: When Laser Framing is disabled, the laser is ON for 100 percent of the
full scan. When enabled, the extent of the laser arc is determined by the
Laser On Position and Laser Off Position settings.
Serial Cmd: <K700,laser on/off
off position,laser power>
Default: Disabled
Options: 0 = Disabled
To adjust laser framing automatically, click the
Frame button.
Note: Because scan widths are not always perfectly symmetrical, the most effective
way to setup laser framing is to experiment with the Laser On Position and Laser Off
Position commands until you get the best results.
