1 Overview
Reference
(1) This products is fixed mount (stationary type) Code Reader capable of two-dimensional
(2D) codes. These units incorporate the most innovative digital camera technologies,
related image recognition, and processing software. A pow erful high-speed processing
engine equipped with a dual-core CPU is adopted on the Fixed mount 2D Cod e Reader
LP-ABR. This manual may also refer to 2-dimensional barcodes as “sy m bols”.
(2) LP-ABR series provides the funct ion appropr iate to the dec oding o f direct marking pr inted
by laser marker.
-Image Preprocessing F unction:
Preprocesses the image to import and improves the image quality.
-Table Mode:
Maximum 8 types of decoding parameter can be set. This mode allow s you
to try the decodes one by one.
-Illuminaton Unit:
This unit has two types of illum ination: diffuse and direct. The light emission
pattern can be set depending on the object to decode.
-Symbol Printing Check:
Checks the symbol printing in in-line.
(3) Cycle Buffer Function(MAXIMG) allows the decode pr oces sing while high-speed
continuous imaging and saving the image to the memory.
(4) High resolution image sen s or (1.2 million pixels) is equipped.
(5) Protection degree: IP65
(6) The mounted LAN interface allows you to conne ct t he LAN port of the computer with
working Windows. (You may not establish a connec t ion with a co mput er de pendin g on it s
setting, spec and so on.)
Be sure to check the operation status when connecting a computer beforehand. This
connection status does no t warrant all operations of the computer.

1. Good Read
- 1 short beep
- Symbol’s data will be sent t hrough the interface (RS232C, LAN).
- Digital output “GO” is ON.
- LED-C (GO) turns on (green).
Note: The activated period of “GO” and the monitor LED-C can be configured

2.3 Configuration
LP-ABR can be configured by sending the serial command through t he
communication port selected.
2.4 Transfer Image Data
Downloaded images by Code Reader can be transfered using “Configurator
LP-ABR” software from the commun ic at ion port to the host computer. By the
setting of Configurator L P-ABR, the images can be picked at the standby ti me or
can be transtered after the finish of reading. By the setting of Configurator
LP-ABR, the images can be picked at the standby time or can be transfered after
the end of reading. Images are converted into bmp files and ar e t r ansf er ed

DELAY: The time from SYNC ON to reading.
CHATT: The time needed for eliminating the chattering.
IMAGE: The time duration for capturing an image.
DECODE: The time duration for decoding.
DECODELIM: The maximum time limit for decoding.
GOOUT: The length of time the GO signal is asserted.
NGOUT: The length of time the NG signal is asserted.
SERIAL: The time the data is output through the serial interface.
MAXIMG: The maximum number of images in the buffer.
WAITIMG: The interval time between capturing images.
Soft Trigger: The SYNC issued by serial command input.
Hard Trigger: The SYNC issued by digital input or Read Key.

TOTALLIM
Code Reader reads the symbol repeatedly during th e dur at ion time, set by “TOTALLIM” after
the SYNC input, or contin ues r eading until the decoding is successful. If the reader cannot
decode successfully in the duration t ime, it st ops rea ding and s ends an er ror c ode t o the host .
Typically MAXIMG is set to a number greater than one. The multi ple MAXIMG enables the
Cycle Buffer Function and the simultaneous parallel proces sin g between image import and
decoding. This may shorten the processing time.
