Performance Considerations
Printing with the scanner is a seamless operation; however, consider some important factors that can
affect performance:
6
Integrity and Speed
If the primary objective is to ensure that correct data is read over a significant region of the
symbology, maximize integrity by (1) increasing the REDUNDANCY LEVEL or the MIN
READABLE HEIGHT setting, (2) slowing the print speed, and (3) increasing the bar code height.
When emphasizing data accuracy, the allowable maximum throughput rate may be affected.
If the primary objective is to achieve the highest label throughput rate, maximize speed by (1)
decreasing the REDUNDANCY LEVEL or the MIN READABLE HEIGHT setting, and (2)
increasing the print speed. When emphasizing throughput, data reliability may be affected.
Media and Ribbon Selection
For best results use carbon-based inks on matte-finished label stocks to achieve a high print contrast.
Label Layout
For proper recognition, the Linear Scanner must be positioned over the bar codes, and the codes
used and the label layout must meet certain requirements:
The bar codes must be placed in the picket fence orientation, with proper quiet zones, and a
narrow bar resolution that is no less than the scan resolution position.
If encoding the same information in multiple-up bar codes arranged in ordered columns (see
below), allow at least ¼ inch of white space between the rows.
Column
Print
Row
104 104 104
104
104 104
1/4 inch (6.5 mm)
Direction
When printing bar codes on small labels, avoid the possible need for backup repositioning by
placing the code(s) near the leading edge of the label.
Although a reduction of print speed may actually improve throughput, to maintain proper
detection when printing small bar codes at high speeds the following parameters should not be
exceeded:
Minimum Bar Code Height Maximum Print Speed (IPS)*
1/16 inch (1.5 mm) 8
1/8 inch (3 mm) 10
* Inches per Second
7

Sets the number of codes per label to be read.
The scanner will count the specified number (1 to 99) of bar codes per label;
if all are not present a fault is declared.
The default setting (00) enables Auto Mode; this mode, appropriate for most
applications, calculates the number of bar codes present and permits a
variable number of codes to be read per label. See the note below (and
Label Layout) for possible exceptions.
Note: If sent as bitmaps (i.e., imaged) to the printer, enter the
minimum count to be read on each label. Check with your
software application if questioning bar code generation.
Ensures bar code integrity by establishing a minimum vertical read
distance. (The optimum scan rate and consecutive read count for this
distance will be automatically calculated.)
This distance must have identical decodes for the bar code to pass (e.g., a
setting of ¼ requires that .25 inches of the code be 100% readable).
Note: Setting should not exceed 50% of the measured bar code
height.

Alignment
Although normally not required if factory-installed, scanner alignment may be necessary under certain
circumstances:
If the scanner option was just field-installed;
If the original alignment has been changed (e.g., if the scanner was lowered to the 5-Mil Position); or,
If the exit angle of the labels has changed (e.g., if an output device such as an external rewinder has
been added).
CAUTION
The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous LED light exposure. Class 1 LED power up to 15 mW in a 0.1 ms
pulse at 635-670 nm could be accessible in the interior of the Linear Scanner.
Follow the steps below to align the Linear Scanner:
Note: If scanning 5-Mil bar codes, change the scanner’s position before proceeding; see “Scan
Resolutions.”
1) Load the printer with four-inch (101 mm) wide media and ribbon. Ensure that the Tear Bar, Peel
Mechanism, or Rewind Plate has been mounted onto the printer. (If using an external rewinder,
attach the labels to that device; see the Operator’s Manual or the manufacturer’s documentation for
details.)
2) Turn ON the printer.
3) Press TEST, and then press it again to produce a Print Quality Label.

occur, re-center and secure the Scanner above the bar code(s); and, if problems persist see
“Troubleshooting.” This completes alignment.
18
Scan Resolutions
Capable of scanning 5- or 10-mil symbologies, the scan resolution is determined by the Linear Scanner’s
height above the label surface. Most typically set for a 10-mil resolution, in order to scan 5-mil bar codes,
the scanner must be repositioned then aligned as follows:
Note: In the 5-Mil position, the available scan width is reduced to approximately 3.5 inches (89 mm).
1) Turn OFF and unplug the printer.
2) Loosen the Thumbscrew then slide the Scanner to the rightmost position on the Mounting Bracket.
3) Slightly raise the Pivoting Mount. Remove the Locking Screws, and then lower the Scanner. While

corresponding solution.
CAUTION
Note: Press FEED to clear a fault.
No faults are generated when
scanning.
The Linear Scanner contains no user serviceable parts. All product service must be
performed by Datamax-O’Neil. Opening the device will void the warranty and could expose
the hazardous LED light.
Problem Possible solution…
If the barcodes are faulty, the scanner may not be enabled: Ensure that the
MODE is set to Auto, or Enabled; see Operation.
The scanner may be disconnected: Turn OFF the printer. Ensure that the
Connector Cable is attached (look for the red glow at power-up); see Operation.
A Scanner Fault is generated
as soon as printer power is
applied to the printer.
Scanner Faults are
generated, but VOID is not
printed on faulted labels.
Note: Normal if the fault

Unable to capture feedback
data.
The scanner may be disconnected while Enabled: Turn OFF the printer. Ensure
that the Connector Cable is attached (look for the red glow on power-up); otherwise,
to continue printing without scanning, change the MODE setting to Auto, or
Disabled; see Operation.
Ensure the FAULT HANDLING – LEVEL is set to VOID AND RETRY; see
Operation.
Ensure that sufficient text space exists by adjusting the VOID DISTANCE; see
Operation.
Ensure that OPTION FEEDBACK (Host Settings) is enabled; see Operation.
Depending upon your communication interface, ensure that a bi-directional
cable is being used; see the Operator’s Manual.
If using parallel communications, ensure that BI-DIRECTIONAL

Depending upon your communication interface, ensure that your host device
settings match those of the printer, and that your software program is set to
parse the received data.
(continued)
20
Problem Possible solution…
Scanner Faults are generated
when scanning.
Note:
• Faults are normal when
a bar code has defects,
including insufficient
quiet zones that can
make it unreadable.
• Adjust the HEAT and/or
PRINT SPEED settings
to achieve print quality.
Consult your software
application (or make
changes via the User
Interface; see the
Operator’s Manual for
details).
Try the following –
Examine the print quality of the failed label: If the bar code(s) appear(s) to be
free of voids with sufficient quiet zone space, ensure that the scanner is down,
centered over the labels, and secured with the Thumbscrew.
Dirt or debris could be covering the scanner window: Turn OFF the printer.
Examine the window for obstructions and clean if necessary; see
Maintenance.
The bar codes may be too close together: For multiple-up identical bar codes,
ensure sufficient white space between rows; see Operation.
Ambient lighting could adversely be affecting readability: Reduce / redirect
bright light sources, or increase light in dim areas.
Reflected light off the media may be blinding the optics: Ensure that the label
stock has a matte finish, and not a reflective or glossy surface; see Operation.
The label exit angle may have changed: Ensure that the Tear Bar, Peel
Mechanism, or Rewind Plate has been mounted to the printer and that the
label pathway is unobstructed; see the Operator’s Manual for details.
Current scanner settings may be too restrictive: Try decreasing the MIN
READABLE HEIGHT or REDUNDANCY LEVEL setting, lowering the print
speed, or increasing the height of the bar code; see Operation.
The bar code may not be recognized: Ensure that the symbology is
supported; see Specifications.
The symbology may not be generated by as a font: Bitmapped bar codes or
those containing certain addendums must be specified by number (BAR
CODE COUNT in the menu); see Operation.
The focal length may be incorrect for the bar code resolution: Consult your
software application for the bar code X dimension, and then ensure the scan
position matches and if not change it; see Maintenance.
If problems persist, yet the bar codes are readable on other devices, scanner
misalignment is possible; see Alignment. If you have questions, please contact
Datamax-O’Neil Technical Support.
