in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the user’s manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Any unauthorized
changes or modifications to this equipment could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

For CE-countries:

- A utiliser avec des ordinateurs/systèmes POS registrés UL/certifiés CSA.

- This scanner should only be powered by a UL listed or CUL Certified Power Supply having limited power

source of Class 2 outputs, rated +12 Vdc / minimum 0,64 A, minimum 40 °C or the scanner should be
directly powered by a UL listed and CSA certified computer/POS system, having limited power source
of Class 2 outputs, rated 8 Vdc to 16 Vdc / minimum 0,55 A, minimum 40 °C.

Radio and television interference

Operation of this equipment in a residential area can cause interference with radio or television reception.
This can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orientate the receiving antenna

Preface

The ORION is a new presentation laser scanner which allows hands free
bar code scanning, based on proven Scantech-ID technologies which form
the basis of all our omni-directional scanners. Bar code labels are read by
presenting the labels towards the scanner. Scanning labels with the ORION
hardly requires any arm movement.
As a result only little free space on the counter top is necessary.

The ORION can either be fixed on a counter surface or on a flexible stand.
The flexible stand allows you to direct the scan pattern in a way that is optimal
for your application.

The ORION reads all popular bar code symbologies. An important feature of the
ORION is its programmable sleep mode. If the scanner is not used within a
programmable period of time, the scanner switches off automatically. The
scanner can be re-activated by pressing the switch on top of the scanner.
The ORION is available in two colour versions, both supporting multiple interface
for communication with any host system. The multiple interface versions are:
RS-232 + USB + P-USB + Keyboard Wedge.

This manual contains two chapters and three appendices. The first chapter
describes the ORION and its general features. The description for installation
can be found in the second chapter. Precisely follow the instructions for the
installation of the scanner. Default settings can be changed with the bar code
labels from the Scantech Configuration Guide that came with the scanner.
Appendix A gives the pin definition for the Data ports of the scanner. The pin
definition may be required when you want to make a new cable for
communication with the POS/computer. Technical specifications of the ORION
can be found in Appendix B. Refer to Appendix C for troubleshooting if the
scanner is not working properly.

damage. Refer to the upper figure on page 5 to locate the interface label and
make sure that the scanner interface corresponds with the host system
interface. Immediately contact your supplier if anything appears to be damaged,
or if the supported interface does not correspond with the host system
interface.

1.3 SCANNING BAR CODES WITH THE ORION O-3050

The ORION O-3050 is an omni-directional presentation scanner featuring a 7
directional scan field with a 24 lines scan pattern. Bar code labels can easily be
read by presenting them to the scanner.

The scanner's scan volume is illustrated in the figure below. The optimal reading
zone lies between 2 and 15 cm from the scanner window, but bar codes can be
read up to 30 cm (11.8 in.) from the scanner window.
If a scanner with flexible stand is purchased, the stand allows you to direct the
optimal reading zone in a way that suits your application most.

Scanning a bar code label with a presentation scanner is very simple: present
the product’s bar code label to the scanner as illustrated in the figure below.
