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).
