Specifications Manual

1. Abstract

This document provides specifications of the MSL 2000 laser scan engine.

2. Overview

The MSL 2000 (hereafter called “the scan engine”) is an undecoded compact laser barcode
scan engine that can be installed in various handheld products such as portable terminals.
When scanning a target at the minimum decode distance, this scan engine can scan up to
44 mm wide at an angle of 44°. The use of a short-wavelength red laser beam enhances
the visibility of the laser beam when scanning barcodes.

This scan engine scans barcodes using laser light and outputs those barcode images as a
logic level signal (hereinafter called the “signal”). This scan engine also outputs timing
waveforms (signals) synchronized with scanning. Such timing waveforms (signals) are
hereinafter referred to as “TIMING”. This scan engine can be turned on and off via an
external input signal, “POWER EN”. The laser light emission of this scan engine can be
controlled via an external input signal, “LASER EN”.

8.1.1. Filter Mode Settings

A number of factors affect barcode quality, some of which cause them to be
unreadable. The readability of poor-quality barcodes can be improved by
correcting the defective parameters during signal processing to compensate
for the barcode defects.

There are several methods of signal processing. However, while one
processing method may improve the reading performance of one unreadable
barcode, it may degrade reading performance for another. For example, if you
set the signal processing sensitivity to high it may enable the reading of a
barcode with low modulation but degrade the reading performance of a
damaged barcode.

To optimize scanning performance for specific barcode parameters, the MSL
2000 provides four reading options (noise filter modes). By setting the scan
engine to one of these four modes, various types of poor-quality barcodes can
be read.

Mode 1 0 0 Standard mode

Mode 2 0 1 High detection mode

Mode 3 1 0 Low detection mode 1

Mode 4 1 1 Low detection mode 2

Mode 1: Standard Mode

The standard mode meets the performance criteria in this specification.

Mode 2: High Detection Mode

High detection mode broadens the analog signal processing frequency and
sets the detection range to high. It improves scanning performance of most
barcodes where the barcodes have poor ANSI Modulation grade.

Mode 3: Low Detection Mode 1

Low detection mode lowers the detection range and ignores noise degradation
during scanning. It improves scanning performance of barcodes with low
contrast (PCS) and low resolution as well as those at long distances.

Mode 4: Low Detection Mode 2

This low detection mode narrows the analog signal processing frequency and
lowers the detection range. It improves reading performance of barcodes that
have spots and voids or similar printing defects.

• The interface timings listed above are conditional on the quality of barcodes.
Barcodes must be positioned within the range of the depth of field.

• When there is a defect in a scanning circuit, the Timing signal does not satisfy the
Timing (Width) above. In order to detect a defect in the scanning circuit, monitor
the TIMING signal 60ms after POWER EN is ON.

• The TIMING (ON) and the SIGNAL (ON) are conditional on the POWER EN (ON)
and the LASER EN (ON) satisfying these specifications.

Note: Rising and falling time periods for “LASER EN” must be set within 100μs. The

laser may be damaged due to the anomalous emission of light if the time period is
longer than 100μs.
