1. GENERALITIES

The BCR module is a motorized device for barcode reading of ISO format tickets.
Barcode reading occurs by a laser scanner for transversal printed codes or with a CCD scanner for codes
printed longitudinally.
Optionally and in alternative the version with contactless card and ticket reader is available.

The BCR COMBO version, ideal for automatic cashers and payment operations allows to install both the
barcode reader and the contactless card reader.
In this way you can realize parking systems with barcode tickets for occasional parkers and contactless card
for season parkers or pre-paid cards for habitual users.

3. MODULE DESCRIPTION

3.1 MECHANICAL STRUCTURE

The module is composed by the following mechanical groups:

• Flanks for title transport

• Card and ticket transport

• Laser scanner

• CCD scanner

• R/W contactless unit

pag. 4

ADEL S.r.l. – BCR Barcode / Contactless reader - User Manual Rev. 1.3

3.1.1 FLANKS FOR TITLE TRANSPORT

The flanks are realized in inox steel and they host the symmetrical transport guides trough which title to be
read passes; the right flak hosts the stepping motor and the paper transport devices.
The control electronic board is fixed to the left flank.

3.1.2 TICKET AND CARD TRANSPORT

The transport is guarantied by rubber roller that adapt automatically to card and ticket width between 0.18
and 0.76 mm.
Title movement during insertion, returning to user or swallowing is managed by a stepping motor.

3.1.3 LASER SCANNER

Transversal barcode reader: reading is activated automatically by the BCR module after ticket positioning.
After reading, the code read is available and it can be required by apposite command (rif. Communication
protocol of the BCR) sent by the host on the serial communication line.
This scanner can read all kinds of barcodes.

3.1.4 CCD IMAGER SCANNER

Also this device, in alternative to the laser scanner, allows the reading of barcodes.
The IMAGER scanner is more performing than the laser scanner because it can read also bad resolution
barcodes.
The reading resolution is higher and there is a high tolerance in the reading position.
The reading is activated automatically from the BCR module sliding the ticket under the reader. After
reading the code is available and it can be required by apposite command (rif. Communication protocol of
the BCR) sent by the host on the serial communication line.
This scanner can read all kind of barcodes and two-dimensional barcodes (pdf).

3.1.5 LONGITUDINAL SCANNER

Optionally the CCD IMAGER scanner can be mounted longitudinally in order to read longitudinally printed
barcodes.

3.1.6 R/W CONTACTLESS UNIT

For reading and writing of MIFARE contactless cards in the BCR reader a module in accordance with
following standards is employed: ISO 14443-A and ISO 15693. On request the ISO 14443-B standard is
available. This module is installed between the two flanks at a distance that allows communication with the
card.
The device is connected to the CPU board by the means of the C_LESS connector and it is managed by the
CPU board FW trough special protocol encapsulated in the BCR module protocol.

NOTE: during assembling the module is set and tested for optimal functioning; the set changing can
compromise the correct functioning of the device.
