Introduction

Caution

Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified here can result in hazardous laser light exposure.

Overview

The MiniScan family of industrial fixed-mount scanners are specifically designed for standalone applications, and OEM applications such as kiosks.

1-1

MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide

Figure 1-1. MiniScan Family of Scanners

MS-120X and MS-220X scanners provide easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning into a host device, and include the following models:

•The MS-1207WA has a 60

scan angle that accommodates wide 1D bar codes within close range, including RSS codes. This scanner is ideal for high-volume, near-contact scanning in applications such as kiosks, ATMs, assembly lines, warehouse and shipping.

•The MS-120XFZY offers premium scanning performance on all types of 1D codes

including poorly printed and low contrast symbols and RSS codes, appropriate for applications where the print quality is inconsistent or poor, such as a warehouse environment. The MS-120XFZY can be used in OEM devices and applications such as warehouse and shipping, diagnostic equipment, vending machines, gaming, library and document tracking systems.

•The MS-220X is an advanced, high-performance, 1D/2D fixed mount industrial

scanner specifically designed for manufacturing, warehousing, security, ID verification, and OEM applications. This scanner offers a high-speed "smart" raster pattern optimized for 1D/2D applications, and its high scan rate ensures fast and reliable data on all 1D symbols including poorly printed bar codes, and 2D codes such as PDF417, Micro-PDF, RSS and composite codes.

Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions

Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code to be decoded. Black bars absorb light, white spaces reflect light. The scan engine collects the reflected light and processes the signal through several analog filters. The filtered signal is digitized into a Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). Timing information is analyzed by the decoder micro-controller to decode and transmit the data contained in the bar code. Data transmission is carried out using Symbol's proprietary SSI Interface.

1-4

Introduction

Interface Board - The interface board adapts the scan engine's interface into usable signals and data for the intended host. It also contains a beeper and red/green LED for audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and external beeper.

• The MS-1204/2204 interface board converts TTL level SSI signals to proper

RS-232 levels for connection to any RS-232 compliant host.

• The MS-1207/2207 interface board converts the scan engine's data to Synapse,

USB, or TTL level RS-232. A separate host adapter cable (p/n 25-62186-xx) is available to convert the TTL level RS-232 output to standard RS-232 levels. All interface types are auto-detected based on the host cable attached.

DB9 - The DB9 connector provides a sealed outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan scanner and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS 1220 MiniScan host cables.

MS-120X and MS-220X Integration Guide

Scanning Patterns

The MiniScan generates different scanning patterns based on the software command received at the interface. The patterns are Smart Raster and Single Scan Line (standard and high density). The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF symbols.

Smart Raster Scan Pattern (MS-220X only)

The MS-220X can create a single line which opens vertically to read PDF417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts its pattern accordingly, providing optimal performance on 1D, PDF417, RSS, and Composite codes.

Stage 1: “Slab” Raster Pattern

Stage 2: Open Raster Pattern

Figure 1-3. Raster Scan Pattern

Introduction

Single Scan Line

Standard Single Scan Line (MS-120X versions)

The MS-120X scanner emits a single scan line to quickly decode quality 1D bar codes.

Figure 1-4. Single Scan Line Scan Pattern

High Density Single Scan Line (MS-220X versions)

The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

Beeper and LED Definitions

Table 1-1 provides standard beeper definitions, and Table 1-2 provides LED definitions.

Table 1-1. Standard Beeper Definitions

Beeper Sequence Indication

Standard Use

1 Beep - short high tone A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled).

1 Beep - long high tone Thermal shutdown.

3 Beeps - short high tone

(MS-220X only)

Parameter Menu Scanning

2 Beeps - short high tone Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.

1 Beep - hi/lo/hi/lo tone Successful program exit with change in the parameter setting.

2 Beeps - lo/hi tone Input error, incorrect bar code, or Cancel scanned, wrong entry,
