Introduction

The MaxiScan 1000 (M1000) is a CCD scanning and decoding engine designed for
integration into an OEM device. It is suitable for a wide range of retail and industrial
applications.

This Integration Guide explains how to install and set up your M1000.
You can use the EasySet setup software to set up the M1000.
See the inside cover for regulatory statements and license information.

Warnings

Do not touch reflector mirrors

Protect from dust

Protect from humidity

Integration considerations

Environment

Reading distance

Setup

Symbologies

I/O synchronization

Protect the M1000 from dust and humidity and make
sure your operating environment is suitable (see the
Technical characteristics section)

High-density bar codes require a shorter reading
distance than low-density bar codes. Reading distance is
less critical for medium density bar codes (see the
Reading distance section)

Test the setup before you install the M1000 permanently

• Use standard symbologies best suited to your

application—some symbologies (Interleaved 2 of 5
for example) are less reliable than others

• Use as few symbologies as possible

• Fixed barcode lengths and check digits increase

reading efficiency and security

• An external input synchronization device can be

used to activate the M1000

• The M1000 can send a synchronization output to

control external devices according to the read result

• See the Input/output synchronization section

Location and reading position

no read

read OK

pitch

The M1000 can be mounted inside a hand-held or fixed device in any orientation.

1 Before you start

Tilt

• Prevents reading of a bar code if all the bars are not inside the

reading beam

tilt

good read

Pitch

• Reduces bar width and is much more critical for high-density

barcodes

• Reading may be possible with a pitch angle up to 70°

• Reduce pitch to increase reading efficiency

MaxiScan 1000 - Integration Guide 7

1 Before you start

skew

Skew

• Reduces bar height

• Reading may be possible with a skew angle up to 65°

• Reduce skew to increase reading efficiency

• A small skew angle (2-3° minimum) is good as it prevents

specular reflection
