Bar Code Scanning
The MK1000 automatically decodes a bar code presented in its field of view. It can decode
all standard 1-dimensional bar codes plus PDF, micro-PDF, and composite bar codes.
Scanning Modes
The MK1000 can operate in a number of different scanning modes. Three of the most
commonly used modes are described in Table 1-1 below.
Table 1-1. Common Scan Modes
Scan Mode Description Scan Pattern
Cyclone
Omnidirectional
1D Scan Pattern
(factory default)
“Always Raster”
Scan Pattern
This is a highly
efficient scan pattern
which decodes 1D and
EAN/UCC reduced
space symbologies in
any orientation
Note: While in this
mode, the MK1000
does not decode 2D
bar codes like PDF.
Directly opens the
laser to a full sized
raster pattern.
Decodes 1D, PDF417, RSS, and
Composite Codes.
Smart Raster
Scan Pattern
1-6
Creates a single scan
line which opens
vertically for PDF-417
symbols using the
Smart Raster feature.
This feature
autodetects the type of
bar code being
scanned and adjusts
its pattern accordingly .
This provides optimal
performance on 1D,
PDF-417, EAN/UCC,
RSS and Composite
Codes.
About Your MK1000
Changing Scanning Modes
You can change the scanning mode using any of the following methods.
• Modify the “scan mode” setting via the MK1000’s Configuration menu.
• Send a host transmitted SSI (Simple Serial Interface) command, specifying which
scan pattern/scanning mode the MK1000 should use. For more information on this,
see Scan Engine Commands on page 5-14.
• Scan a programming bar code (refer to Appendix C, Scanning Mode Programming
Bar Codes). Any changes made by scanning a programming bar code are in effect
until the unit is powered off. At the unit’s next power up, the scanner returns to its
default scan mode setting.
Scanning Guidelines
When scanning a bar code:
• Keep the scan pattern parallel to the bar code’s rows.
• Hold the bar coded item as still as possible.
• Hold the bar code at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see
Specular Reflection on page 1-10).
• Hold the bar coded item close for small bar codes, and farther away for large bar
codes.
1-7
MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
Smart Raster
In Smart Raster operation, a trigger pull causes a single scan line pattern to appear. If the
target is a 1-D bar code, the scanner decodes the symbol. If the target bar code is a 2-D
bar code, the scanning patterns open up to a full, optimized raster pattern as soon as the
scanner is properly aligned over the bar code.
Single Scan Line Pattern

Figure 1-3. Smart Raster Scanning Pattern
• When using the raster pattern, if the pattern does not cover the top and bottom of
a 2D symbol, pull the scanner back until it does. Make sure the scan pattern
extends at least three quarters of an inch beyond the edge s of the bar co de.
3/4”
3/4”
Figure 1-4. Raster Pattern Expanded Over PDF-417 Symbol
• If the vertical scan pattern is not high enough to cover a “tall” PDF-417 symbol,
move the bar code slowly down toward the bottom of the symbol, keeping the beam
horizontal to the rows, and then slowly back upward to the top. Alternatively, move
the bar code further away from the scanner until the scan pattern covers a larger
portion of the bar code in the vertical direction.
1-8
About Your MK1000
Figure 1-5. Moving Scan Pattern Upward and Downward on “Tall” PDF Symbol
• The scan beam does not have to be perfectly parallel with the top and bottom of
the symbol (up to a 4
o
tilt is permitted).
• Be sure the symbol is in good condition.
Scanning Composite (2D) Bar Codes
Composite Code is a combination of a 1D symbol (RSS, UPC/EAN or UPC/EAN-128) and
a 2D symbol (CC-A, CC-B or CC-C).
When scanning a bar code:
• Keep the scan pattern parallel to the 2D symbol’s rows.
• Hold the bar code as still as possible.
• Hold the bar coded item at an angle which does not cause specular reflection (see
Specular Reflection on page 1-10).
• Hold the scanner close for small bar codes, and farther away for large bar codes.
• When using the single scan line pattern, aim the scan line at the middle of the 2D
portion. The scan pattern will open up to an optimized raster pattern and decode
both the 2D and 1D portion of the Composite Code.
Aim the single scan line at the center of
the 2D portion
Raster pattern will expand to decode
both portions

MK1000 MicroKiosk Product Reference Guide
Specular Reflection
When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, they can “blind”
the scanner and make decoding difficult. This phenomenon is called specular reflection.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t
scan at too oblique an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the
scan to make a su cce ss ful d ecod e. P ra ct ice qu ic kl y sho w s what t ole ra nc es to w ork w i thi n.
Side Views
Specular reflection.
Reflected beam is within
specular dead zone and
prevents decode.
Tilt Bar Code At Slight Angle (Up to 30°)
No specular reflection.
Decode can occur.
Figure 1-6. Avoiding Specular Reflection
When scanning a 1D bar code, there is only a small specular dead zone to avoid (+
the direct laser beam). The specular dead zone is larger for scanning PDF-417 (+
2o from
9o from
the direct laser beam). However, the scanner is not effective if its beams hit the bar code’s
surface at an angle greater than 30
o
from the normal to that surface.
Using the Display (LCD)
The MK1000 has a back lit 240 x 64 pixel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The display’s colors
are white on blue. The MK1000’s display can handle both text and graphics. The LCD’s
contrast is adjustable.
Memory
Flash Memory
The MK1000 system contains 1MB of Flash Memory. This non-volatile Flash Memory is
responsible for storing the system firmware.
1-10
About Your MK1000
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
The system contains 1MB of SRAM. The SRAM is used for storage of system parameters,
user programs and data, and for use by the system as a whole during normal program
executions. Items such as bitmaps can also be stored here and easily retrieved for later
use.
External Ports
The MK1000 is equipped with three external ports located at the rear of the unit (see Figure
1-1 on page 1-3). The external ports are:
•Power
• Com/Scanner
•LAN.
The ports are located in a recessed area to allow for flush mounting of the MK1000 against
a flat surface.
Power Port
The MK1000 can be powered by either an external power supply plugged into an AC outlet
or by Power-over-Ethernet. If an external power supply is used, it plugs into the power port
on the rear of the MK1000 via a 2.0mm barrel jack. The center pin of the jack is positive
and the outer tab is ground.
The universal power supply provided with your MK1000 is compatible with the following
power systems:
• 120V 60Hz (North America)
• 230V 50Hz (International excluding Japan)
• 100V 50/60Hz (Japan).
Com/Scanner Port
The connection to the Com/Scanner port is provided through an RJ-45 jack (10 conductor).
This port has dual functionality and can be used for Serial communication with a host,
connection of an external device like a decoded scanner, or connection of an undecoded
external scanner. It is important to confirm your cable’s pin-out before attaching a cable. For

LAN (Local Area Network) Port
The connection to this port is provided through an RJ-45 jack.
The LAN port supports the following network topologies listed and described below.
• Ethernet (10Base-T)
• Power via AC Outlet
• Power via Power-over-Ethernet
• RS-485 (Serial/Cable)
Wired Ethernet: Power via AC Outlet
The LAN port can be used for an Ethernet data connection., either a 10-conductor RJ-45
plug or 8-conductor RJ-45 plug can be used. With this Ethernet installation the MK1000
receives power via the power supply plugged into an AC outlet.
Wired Ethernet: Power via Power-over-Ethernet
The MK1000 supports Power-over-Ethernet (Symbol Technologies' Bias-T functionality).
When an Ethernet (10Base-T) cable is connected to the LAN port, in addition to being the
conduit for data exchange, it can also be used as a conduit to provide power to the MK1000.
RS-485
RS-485 is sometimes termed the Multidrop LAN since it can connect several devices in a
LAN network environment. These devices are all connected to a single pair wire (i.e.,
transmit and receive share the same two wires).
When the LAN port is used as an RS-485 connection, only a 10-conductor RJ-45 plug can
be used.

Setup and Installation: Communication
Overview
This chapter describes the steps required to establish communication between the MK1000
and a host.
Note:The host must be able to support either the RS-232 or Ethernet
communication interface. Common host operating systems that
support these interfaces include Windows, Unix, DOS, and IBM
468x/469x.
Topics covered in this chapter include:
• Communication protocol (PCK emulation) overview
• Selecting a communication interface
• Configuring for host communication via the MK1000 Configuration menu
• Configuring for host communication via the PCK Configuration menu
• Configuring for host communication via a Telnet client.
Before communications with the host is established, you must determine which
communication interface to use.

Communication Protocol Overview
The MK1000 is shipped with the PCK emulation communication protocol on-board.
The Symbol PCK emulation application* is a PCK9100/9140 emulator for the Symbol
MK1000. The Symbol PCK emulation application uses a proprietary command set
developed by Symbol Technologies for use with its Kiosk Scanning Solutions. The PCK
emulation application allows the MK1000 to behave like a Symbol PCK9100/9140 and
interact with PCK9100/9140 compatible applications on the host. For more information on
the PCK emulation application see Chapter 5, PCK Emulation.
Note:*The MK1000’s PCK emulation application is not compatible with
pre-existing PCK9142/9144/9130 applications.
Communication Interface Overview
Before establishing communications with the host you must determine which
communication interface to use. Your MK1000 may support up to four communication
interfaces. The four types of interfaces are listed in Table 3-1.
The number and type of communication interfaces your unit has is specified in its model
number. For a list of MK1000 model numbers and their supported onboard communication
interfaces see the Appendix F, Troubleshooting.
