Introduction

The MiniScan family of fixed-mount scanners are specifically designed for stand-alone applications, and OEM applications such as kiosks.

Figure 1-1

Symbol MSXX04 Series scanners provide easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning into a host device, and include the following models:

•

MiniScan Family of Scanners

The Symbol MS1204FZY offers fuzzy logic for premium scanning performance on all types of 1D bar codes

including poorly printed and low contrast symbols. The MS1204FZY features a compact design for superior

performance and durability in a form factor that easily integrates into OEM devices for embedded

applications such as medical instruments, diagnostic equipment, vending machines, and gaming. As a

fixed-mount scanner, the MS1204FZY is ideal for applications requiring unattended scanni ng such as

manufacturing, warehouse and shipping, conveyor belts, library and document tracking systems.

1 - 2 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide

•

The Symbol MS2204 and MS2204VHD offer a "smart" raster pattern optimized for 2D applications and

poorly printed 1D bar codes. The high scan rate ensures fast and reliable data on all 1D symbols, and 2D

codes such as PDF417, MicroPDF, GS1 DataBar and composite codes. These scann e rs ar e pe rf ec t for

automated data entry applications that require high-speed scanning, performance, and small size, such as

conveyor belts, manufacturing and warehouse, gas pumps, and security/ID verification.

•

The Symbol MS3204 features a high-speed omnidirectio nal scan p atter n that makes it easy and intuitive for

consumers to scan bar codes at the point of activity. The omnidirectional scan pattern reads bar codes

quickly and accurately, minimizing the need for precise positioning of linear 1D bar codes. The MS3204

provides an easy and cost-effective way to enhance existing OEM devices with high-performance 1D and 2D

scanning, making it the ideal solution for applications that require fast, accurate scanning such as kiosks,

ATMs, listening stations, lottery machines, and vending machines.

•

Symbol MS954 scanner is extremely compact, provides easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning

into a host device, and offers high-performance scanning on 1D bar codes. The MS954 is ideal for medical

instruments and kiosks.

Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions

Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code to be decoded. Black bars absorb light, white spaces reflect light. The scan engine collects the reflected light and processes the signal through several analog filters. The filtered signal is digitized into a Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). Timing information is analyzed by the decoder micro-controller to decode an d transmit the dat a contained in the bar code. Data transmission is carried out using Motorola’s proprietary SSI Interface.

Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the intended host. It also contains a beeper (Symbol MS1204FZY/2204/2204VHD/3204 models only) and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and exter nal beeper.

The MiniScan interface board converts TTL level SSI signals to pro per RS-232 levels for connection to any RS-232 compliant host.

DB9 - The DB9 connector provides an outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan scanner and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS 1220 MiniScan host cables.

Chapter 2 Installation

Introduction

This chapter provides information on unpacking, mounting, and installing the MiniScan scanner.

Unpacking

Remove the MiniScan from its packing and inspect for damage. If the scan ner is damaged, call Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support at the telephone number listed on page xv.

KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment needs to be returned for servicing.

Mounting

There are three mounting holes (threaded inser t s) on th e bottom of the Symb ol MS1204FZY/2204/2204VHD/3204 chassis; two mounting holes on the Symbol MS954.

The following figures provide mounting dimensions for the MiniScan scanner housings. For a mounting template, see Chapter 12, Mounting Templates.

NOTE Use only non-magnetic M3x.5 screws with a maximum length of 3.6M to mount the MiniScan scanner

chassis.

Mounting the Scanner on the Stand

NOTE The stand is optional for the Symbol MS1204FZY, MS2204, MS2204VHD, and MS3204 only.

To mount the scanner on the optional stand:

1. Place the bottom of the scanner on the stand’s sca nner mount, aligning the scanner’s center threaded insert

(beneath the scan window) with the center mounting hole on the front of the stand. The two rear threaded inserts on the bottom of the scanner will align with the proper mounting holes on the stand.

2. Secure the scanner to the stand using the three screws provided with the stand.

Assembling the Stand

1. Unscrew the wingnut

2. Fit the bottom of the neck piece into the opening on the top of the stand base.

3. Tighten the wingnut underneath the base to secure the cup and neck piece (see the note below).

4. Bend the neck to the desired position for scanning.

NOTE Before tightening the wingnut under the base, ensure that the flat areas on the flexible neck fit securely in

the grooves in the base.

Installation 2 - 5

Mounting the Stand (optional)

You can attach the base of the scanner’s stand to a fl at surface using two screws or double-sided tape (not provided).

Screw Mount

1. Position the assembled base on a flat surface.

2. Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount hole until the base of the stand is secure.

Tape Mount

1. Peel the paper liner off one side of each piece of tape and place the sticky surface over each of the three

rectangular tape areas.

2. Peel the paper liner off the exposed sides of each piece of tape and press the stand on a flat surface until it is

secure.

Mounting the Scanner on the Mounting Bracket

NOTE The mounting bracket is optional for the Symbol MS1204FZY, MS2204, MS2204VHD, and MS3204 only.

The optional mounting bracket kit consists of a scanner bracket, a moun ting br acket, and the h ardware re qui red to mount the scanner. The bracket kit accommodates adjustable angles for optimal positioning of the scanner.

To mount the MiniScan scanner on the bracket, first secure the scanner to the scanner bracket, then attach the mounting bracket to the wall (see Figure 2-6 on page 2-6):

1. Tilt the scanner bracket forward to access the center scanner mounting hole on the bracket.

2. Place the bottom of the scanner on the scanner br acket, aligning the scanner’s center threaded insert (b eneath

the scan window) with the center mounting hole on the scanner bracket.

3. Insert one of the screws provided through the mounting hole and into the scanner’s center threaded insert.

For the Symbol MS1204FZY, MS2204, and MS2204VHD, use a #0 Phillips screwdriver; for the Symbol MS3204, use a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

4. Tilt the scanner bracket in the opposite direction to access the rear scanner mounting holes (which ar e aligned

with the rear inserts on the bottom of the scanner), then insert the remaining two screws provided through the two rear mounting holes and into the scanner’s threaded inserts.

5. Secure the mounting bracket to a flat surface by inserting 1/8” or smaller fasten ers through the surfac e and into

the bracket’s mounting holes. There are four mounting holes on the bottom of the mounting bracket for horizontal mounting, and six holes on the side for vertical mounting.
