Chapter 1 Getting Started
CAUTION Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified here can result in hazardous
laser light exposure.
Introduction
The MiniScan family of fixed-mount scanners is specifically designed for stand-alone applications, and OEM
applications such as kiosks.
Figure 1-1
MSXX04 Series scanners provide easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning into a host device, and
include the following models:
•
MiniScan Family of Scanners
The MS1204FZY offers fuzzy logic for premium scanning performance on all types of 1D bar codes including
poorly printed and low contrast symbols. The MS1204FZY features a compact design for superior
performance and durability in a form factor that easily integrates into OEM devices for embedded
applications such as medical instruments, diagnostic equipment, vending machines, and gaming. As a
fixed-mount scanner, the MS1204FZY is ideal for applications requiring unattended scanning such as
manufacturing, warehouse and shipping, conveyor belts, library and document tracking systems.

•
The MS2204 and MS2204VHD offer a "smart" raster pattern optimized for 2D applications and poorly printed
1D bar codes. The high scan rate ensures fast and reliable data on all 1D symbols, and 2D codes such as
PDF417, MicroPDF, GS1 DataBar and composite codes. These scanners are perfect for automated data
entry applications that require high-speed scanning, performance, and small size, such as conveyor belts,
manufacturing and warehouse, gas pumps, and security/ID verification.
•
The MS3204 features a high-speed omnidirectional scan pattern that makes it easy and intuitive for
consumers to scan bar codes at the point of activity. The omnidirectional scan pattern reads bar codes
quickly and accurately, minimizing the need for precise positioning of linear 1D bar codes. The MS3204
provides an easy and cost-effective way to enhance existing OEM devices with high-performance 1D and 2D
scanning, making it the ideal solution for applications that require fast, accurate scanning such as kiosks,
ATMs, listening stations, lottery machines, and vending machines.
•
MS954 scanner is extremely compact, provides easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning into a host
device, and offers high-performance scanning on 1D bar codes. The MS954 is ideal for medical instruments
and kiosks.

Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions
Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code to decode.
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). The
decoder micro-controller analyzes timing information to decode and transmit the bar code data. Data transmission
occurs using Zebra’s proprietary SSI Interface.
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 (MS1204FZY/2204/2204VHD/3204 models only) and red/green LED for
audio/visual feedback, and provides for an external trigger and external beeper.
The MiniScan interface board converts TTL level SSI signals to proper RS-232 levels for connecting to any RS-232
compliant host.
DB9 - The DB9 connector provides an outlet for the various interface signals used between a MiniScan scanner
and the host. It also maintains pin compatibility with the previous generation LS1220 MiniScan host cables.

Chapter 2 Installation
Introduction
This chapter provides information on unpacking, mounting, and installing the MiniScan scanner.
Unpacking
Remove the MiniScan from its packing and inspect for damage. If the scanner is damaged, call Zebra Support at
the telephone number listed on page xv.
KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment needs to be
returned for servicing.

Mounting
There are three mounting holes (threaded inserts) on the bottom of the MS1204FZY/2204/2204VHD/3204 chassis;
two mounting holes on the MS954.
The following figures provide mounting dimensions for the MiniScan scanner housings. For a mounting template,
see Chapter 12, Mounting Templates.
NOTE Use only non-magnetic M3x.5 screws with a maximum length of 3.6M to mount the MiniScan scanner
chassis.

mount.
2. Fit the bottom of the
neck piece into the
opening on the top of the
stand base.
3. Tighten the wingnut

Mounting the Scanner on the Stand
To mount the scanner on the optional stand:
1. To mount the MS954 to the scanner mount plate, align the scanner so its window faces the short edge of the
plate, and its two threaded inserts align with the stand’s two mounting holes that are closest to the edge of the
plastic. Note that this model requires only two screws for mounting.
To mount all other MiniScan models, place the bottom of the scanner on the stand’s scanner mount, aligning
the scanner’s center threaded insert (beneath the scan window) with the center mounting hole on the front of
the stand. The two rear threaded inserts on the bottom of the scanner align with the proper mounting holes on
the stand.
2. Secure the scanner to the stand using the screws provided with the stand (two for the MS954, three for all
other models).

Screw Mount
1. Position the assembled base on a flat surface.
2. Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount hole to secure the base of the stand.
Tape Mount
1. Peel the paper liner off one side of each piece of tape and place the sticky surface over each of the three
rectangular tape areas.
2. Peel the paper liner off the exposed sides of each piece of tape and press the stand on a flat surface until it is
secure.

Mounting the Scanner on the Mounting Bracket
The optional mounting bracket kit consists of a scanner bracket, a mounting bracket, and the hardware required to
mount the scanner. The bracket kit accommodates adjustable angles for optimal positioning of the scanner.
To mount the MiniScan scanner on the bracket, first secure the scanner to the scanner bracket, then attach the
mounting bracket to the wall (see Figure 2-6 on page 2-6):
1. Tilt the scanner bracket forward to access the center scanner mounting hole on the bracket.
2. Place the bottom of the scanner on the scanner bracket, aligning the scanner’s center threaded insert (beneath
the scan window) with the center mounting hole on the scanner bracket.
3. Insert one of the screws provided through the mounting hole and into the scanner’s center threaded insert.
For the MS1204FZY, MS2204, and MS2204VHD, use a #0 Phillips screwdriver; for the MS3204, use a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
Mounting the Stand
NOTE The optional mounting bracket is for the MS1204FZY, MS2204, MS2204VHD, and MS3204 only.

4. Tilt the scanner bracket in the opposite direction to access the rear scanner mounting holes (which are aligned
with the rear inserts on the bottom of the scanner), then insert the remaining two screws provided through the
two rear mounting holes and into the scanner’s threaded inserts.
5. Secure the mounting bracket to a flat surface by inserting 1/8” or smaller fasteners through the surface and into
the bracket’s mounting holes. There are four mounting holes on the bottom of the mounting bracket for
horizontal mounting, and six holes on the side for vertical mounting.
