OEM applications such as kiosks.
Figure 1-1
Symbol MSXX07 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 MS1207FZY offers fuzzy logic for premium scanning performance on all types of 1D bar codes
including poorly printed and low contrast symbols. The MS1207FZY 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 MS1207FZY is ideal for applications requiring unattended scanni ng such as
manufacturing, warehouse and shipping, conveyor belts, library and document tracking systems.
The Symbol MS1207WA Wide Angle Scanner features a broad 60o scan angle to accommodate large 1D

Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions
Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code. 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). The decoder
micro-controller analyzes timing information to decode and transmit the data contained in the bar code.
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 and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and p rovides for an external
trigger and external beeper.
The interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse, USB, or TTL level RS-232. A separate host
adapter cable (p/n 25-62186-xx) converts the TTL level RS-232 output to standard RS-232 levels. All interface
types are auto-detected based on the host cable attached.
DB9 - The DB9 connector provides a sealed outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan
scanner and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS1220 MiniScan host
cables.

Location and Positioning
CAUTION The location and positioning guidelines provided do not consider unique application characteristics.
Motorola recommends that an opto-mechanical engineer perform an opto-mechanical analysis prior
to integration.
Installation 2 - 7
NOTE Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product’s specification, where the
scanner will not exceed its temperature range. For instance, do not mount the scanner onto or next to a
large heat source. When placing the scanner with another device, ensure there is proper convection or
venting for heat. Follow these suggestions to ensure product longevity, warranty, and overall satisfaction
with the scanner.
Using the MiniScan as an Embedded Scanner
You can mount the MiniScan read symbols that are automatically presented, or that are presented in a
pre-determined location. In these applications, MinScan positioning with respect to the symbol is critical. Failure to
properly position the MiniScan can result in unsatisfactory scanning performance. A thermal analysis is also
recommended.
Two methods of positioning the scanner are provided:
•
Use the Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-8 with consistently good quality symbols.
This provides a mathematical solution to find the usable scan length.
•
The Testing the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-9 uses real situation testing to adjust the usable sca n
length to fit the application conditions.
