Specifications Manual
1. Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the MDI 2000 auto-focus imager scan engine.
2. Overview
The MDI 2000 is a compact imager scan engine with an auto-focus function that enables
high-speed scanning of linear (1D) and 2D symbologies for the first time in the industry. The
MDI 2000 includes the following features:
•High-Speed Scanning
Customized High-speed/ultra-sensitive CMOS image sensor at the maximum of 80
fps and the fastest shutter speed in the industry enable high-speed scanning without
being affected by hand movement.
•Reading both high resolution and super deep barcodes
With an embedded liquid lens in the scan engine, the MDI 2000 is able to read both
high resolution and super deep barcodes.
Opticon
MDI 2000
•High-Speed Auto-Focus
High-speed CMOS image sensor uses laser light for distance range to enable highspeed auto-focus. When environmental conditions make using distance range with
laser light impossible, focus adjustment will be done using the contrast method.
•World's fastest image processing speed
Compact, energy-saving and high-speed ASIC enables a smooth response by
processing vast amount of information transferred from the mega-pixel CMOS image
sensor in a very short time.
•Various Settings
It is possible to change symbology settings, scanning settings, communication
settings, and other feature settings by sending commands.
•The MDI 2000 complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).

When in Power Down mode, the MDI 2000 automatically enters the powered-down
state from Power On.
When the MDI 2000 is in Power Down mode, the MDI 2000 is switched to Standby
mode by receiving the AIM/WUPn signal. If there is no event to switch the MDI 2000
to other modes after the AIM/WUPn signal is turned off, the MDI 2000 enters Power
Down mode again after the Standby mode times out.
If the MDI 2000 enters a powered-down state while using a USB COM interface, it
may cause defects with the operation of a Windows device driver.

6.3. Auto Focus
The imager scan engine requires 100 ms to capture the image with auto focus after
trigger ON.
Opticon
MDI 2000
6.3.1.
Measurement
A laser spot will measure the distance between the reading window and the
surface of the image (barcode) to determine the focus adjustment.
If laser measurement is impossible because of the particular environmental
conditions such as ambient light immunity, the focus adjustment method
automatically switches to measurement with contrast.
This measurement function enables accurate AF operation of the liquid lens
that is embedded inside the imager scan engine.
Figure 2: AF operation by liquid lens
7. Technical Specifications
Scanning is enabled by aiming at the center of a barcode with laser light. When scanning
from a distance, ambient light that is reflected to the scanning field may affect scanning
performance.

Figure 5: Curvature
Scanning performance may fail due to the specular reflection of the illumination LED
when the reflectivity is high. To improve scanning performance in such cases, scan
the barcode with a scan angle of 15 degrees or scan the barcode with the illumination
LED turned off. When scanning a barcode with illumination LED turned off, confirm
that the ambient lighting intensity is higher than 500 lux, or scanning performance
may decline. Scanning performance may also decline due to the reflectance of room
lights on a camera.

12.1.2. Acquisition of Image Data
There was no outstanding noise or misalignment in acquired images when
sinusoidal electrical noise (50 Hz to 100 kHz, smaller than 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 2000 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 2000 may be lower than
that of digital cameras in general.

12.2. Shock
No malfunction occurred after the following drop test.
Drop Test: Put the MDI 2000 inside an appointed dummy case and dropped it facing
its top, bottom, front, back, left, right, top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right
from the height of 1.5 m to a concrete floor. The shock test was done once in each
direction.
12.3. Vibration
No malfunction occurred after the following vibration test.
Vibration Test: Increase the frequency of the vibration from 12 Hz to 200 Hz with
accelerated velocity 3.3 G for over ten minutes. Continued this routine for two hours in
X direction, two hours in Y direction, and four hours in Z direction.
