Introduction
This scanner will automatically scan a barcode at a distance of 3 to 8 inches from the symbol when the trigger is pulled. The scanner is programmed by scanning barcodes from the manual when viewed on the screen at 200% or more magnification from the PD . !uccessful scanning shall be obtained by tilting the scanner with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections that impair reading performance.

Installation and Setup

&eading Characteristics
The engine has a view finder that proHects a bright red or green aiming beam that corresponds to the engine2s hori=ontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the barcode' but it can be positioned in any direction for a good read.

The aiming beam is smaller when the engine is closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. !ymbologies with smaller bars or elements 1mil si=e3 should be read closer to the unit. !ymbologies with larger bars or elements 1mil si=e3 should be read farther from the unit. To read symbols' hold the engine at an appropriate distance from the target' send a trigger command' and center the aiming beam on the symbol. )f the code being scanned is highly reflective 1e.g.' laminated3' it may be necessary to tilt the code :5N to prevent unwanted reflection. 10

Programming

To program each option' you must( %.!can the Program barcodes. '.6nter the option mode by scanning the option barcodes. +.The necessary alphanumeric inputs are listed. !can these alphanumeric entries from the Program #hart. To confirm the above steps' you must scan the !ave barcode.

Interface Selection
This decoder builtFin scanner comes in one model and supports interfaces such as ,!232 serial' $!% virtual #.7 and $!% *)D. )n most of the cases' simply selecting an appropriate cable and configure the proper interface by following interface selection. Interface selection" @ou can change factory interface default 1$!% Airtual #.7 3 for other type interface. %y plugging different cables' setting right interface' then scan the interface barcode' power cycle the scanner will be changed to another interface. *owever' you must ma&e sure which cable you need.

%hermal and Centering

Thermal *onsiderations #are must be ta&en when designing the )mage 6ngine into any system. )nternal heating of the )mage 6ngine can occur in high duty cycle scanning applications. The high visibility aimer dissipates a significant amount of power as heat. The illumination and aiming >6Ds also release heat' and are a maHor contributor to thermal increases in high use or in 0utoFsense mode. 0n increase in temperature around an )mage 6ngine can cause noise levels on the imager' degrading image -uality. The thermal rise can also affect the laser diode. )n a continuous scanning or high use environment' the )mage 6ngine temperature can rise "5N to 20N#. $nder high ambient temperature conditions' the laser diode is at ris& of thermal brea&down and possible failure. The image -uality and decode performance will also degrade. The Power #ontrol P?7 can be used to reduce the effect of the )llumination >6Ds on thermal rise' however' this also reduces the intensity of the illumination. ,educing the intensity of the illumination reduces total power used but can also reduce the depth of field in low light environments.
