When in Power Down mode, the MDI 1000 automatically enters the power-down state
from Power On.
When the MDI 1000 is in Power Down mode and the MDI 1000 is switched to a Standby
state by sending a CTS signal or AIM/WUPn signal, or there is no event that causes the
MDI 1000 to switch to another mode, the MDI 1000 enters Power Down mode after the
time-out.
If the MDI 1000 enters a power-down state while using USB_VCP as an interface, it may
cause defects that affect the operation of a Windows device driver.

(The calculation of pitch and tilt angles is based on the skew angle
formula being β = +15°)
Notes
When a barcode is printed on glossy paper or a card case, it may cause difficulties in
scanning due to the reflection of red LEDs. To improve scanning performance under
these circumstances, scan the barcode with a scan angle of 15 degrees or with red
LEDs turned off. When scanning a barcode with red LEDs turned off, confirm that the
ambient lighting intensity is higher than 1000 lux, or scanning performance may
decline. Scanning performance may also decline if room lights reflect on the camera.

Page 20
8.2. Aiming Guide
•The focal point is where two central LED light patterns (green and square-shaped)
overlap—where two dots meet.
•To scan a barcode within the aiming range, make sure that two central LED light
patterns overlap, then place the center of the overlapping LED light patterns on
the center of the barcode.
•To scan a barcode wider than a width of the aiming range, aim at the barcode
from further away. Make sure that the barcode is between two LED light patterns
on both the right and left.

The nonvolatile memory on the MDI 1000 decoder board contains information concerning
the sensor chip for a MDI 1000 camera module. This information is vital to the scanning
and image acquisition operations of the MDI 1000. The camera module and decoder
board are a set and must both be integrated into your products.
10.2. Connection between a Camera Module and Decoder Board

13.1.2. Acquisition of Image Data
There were no outstanding noises or misalignments in acquired images when
sinusoidal electrical noise (50 Hz to 100 kHz, <20 mVp-p) was added to the power
supply line.
Notes
There may be a case where the electrical noise affects the quality of captured
images. The signal processing system of the MDI 1000 is especially designed for
the purpose of scanning symbologies, not for the acquisition of image data.
Therefore, the quality of images captured by the MDI 1000 may be lower than that
of digital cameras in general.
