Specifications Manual
1. Abstract
This document provides specifications on the MSL 1000 laser scan engine.
2. Overview
The MSL 1000 laser scan engine (hereafter referred to as the “scan engine”) is a compact laser
barcode scan engine that can be installed in various handheld products such as portable
terminals. When scanning a target from the minimum decode distance, this scan engine can
scan up to 44 mm wide at an angle of 44°. The use of short wave-length red laser beam
enhances visibility when scanning lines.
This scan engine scans barcodes using laser light and outputs barcode images in logic level
signals (hereafter referred to as “signal”). The scan engine also outputs timing waveforms
(signals) synchronized with scanning. Such timing waveforms (signals) (hereafter referred to as
“TIMING”). This scan engine can be turned on and off via external input signal “POWER EN”.
The laser light emission of this scan engine can be controlled via external input signal “LASER
EN”.
