Install Your FuzzyScan
Adjust Reading Angle
The readability may be impacted by the specular reflection caused by the
perpendicular reading angle. To get the most optimal reading performance, it
is recommended to install the scanner at an approximate 15° angle to the
perpendicular line of the target barcode. However, the reading angle and
distance may vary depending on the size and printing quality of barcodes.
Mount Your FuzzyScan
There are two M3 mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis. Please follow
below procedures to mount your scanner.
Prepare two appropriate M3 screws (minimal 4mm in depth) and decide
your desired mounting location. Then adjust the two screws to
accommodate 27mm center width.
Optimize the mounting position by adjusting reading angle and distance.
Ensure the illumination envelop is not blocked by any external object.
Use the Intelli Button to verify the actual reading rate. If the reading rate
is not good enough, please adjust the reading angle and distance to get
the optimum readability.

Intelli Button
For normal operation, the Intelli Button of the scanner acts as a manual
Trigger Switch. You can press the Intelli Button to scan the corresponding
barcode commands to configure your scanner with ease. Moreover, the
useful Intelli Button can help you to identify the best mounting position.
Please refer to following descriptions for more details.
Optimize Your Installation
Once the mounting position for the scanner is determined, you may use the
Intelli Button to optimize the mounting position with ease. Please follow below
procedures to use the Intelli Button.
Press and hold the Intelli Button for more than 5 seconds until the status
indicator gives one green blink, then release the button. The scanner will
emit 2 short beeps and the power indicator will flash blue blink per 1
second to indicate the force reading process is activated. The scanner
will turn on the light source to scan barcodes continuously until the whole
process completed.
Keep the scanner to read the same barcode. The scanner will count the
Good Read numbers, then output the information of reading rate and
refresh LED indications every 100 scans. The format of output message
is listed below.
< Readout data > : < Reading rate (0 to 100) >
Meanwhile, both Status and OK/NG indicators provide the visible reading
rate information as well. You may refer to the table listed below for details.
Reading Rate Status Indicator OK/NG Indicator
100% Steady Green Steady Green
80 to 99% Steady Red Steady Green
50 to 79% Steady Green Steady Red
20 to 49% Steady Orange Steady Orange
0 to 19% Steady Red Steady Red
If the reading rate is not good enough, please adjust the reading angle
and distance to get the optimum readability. If you would like to exit the
force reading process, please press the Intelli Button once again.
1. If the scanner is unable to read any barcode after time-out duration
(default is 900ms), the scanner will count it as a NG reading.
2. During force reading process, the OK/NG output signals will not be
performed.
