1. About FM-201 Scan Engine The FM-201 Scan Engine is a small decoder that can read all popular 1D barcodes. This device is comprised of two main parts: an optical system and a control board. The optical system is a 2048 pixel linear imager. The control board contains firmware to scan, decode and output barcode data. The below block diagram shows the data flow from control board to the host. Optical System (LED, Condenser, Lens, chassis..
The FM-201 Scan Engine is specifically designed for easy integration into your application devices. The control module supports RS232, Keyboard wedge and USB 1.1 interface. The control board is based on MCU to fulfill the functions of barcode scanner, image decoding, parameter settings, and communication with host.
2. Signal Connector The control module is reserved connection pins for interface, trigger, buzzer, LEDs and power. J2 is comprised of 14 pins that start from right to left, pin1 to pin 14.
J2 Connector Pin Description Example 1 GND.— Supply signal ground 2 RTS ( To Host ) / CLK/KB.— TTL level 232 Request to send 3 RxD ( From Host ).— TTL level 232 receive data 4 CTS ( From Host ) / DATA/KB.— TTL level 232 Clear to Send signal. 5 DATA/PC ( PS2 DATA ). 6 CLK/PC ( PS2 CLK ). 7 TxD ( To Host ).—TTL level 232 transmit data. 8 5 V DC input—Supply voltage input. 9 I/F identification . According to the voltage level at I/F, the scanner will Wire I/F with a 4.

2.2. Interface Connector The control board to host interface signals have different definitions depending on the operation of RS232, keyboard wedge or USB.
3. Mechanical Specifications 3.1. Distance from window The window should be mounted close to the front of the Scan Engine. The maximum distance is measured from the Scan Engine housing to the farther surface of the window. The unwanted reflections can occur at either surface and the window thickness can vary, the further side is the worse case. 3.2. Window size and material 1. Window material must be clear and anti-scratch. Clarx, Polycarbonate and CR39 are preferred. 2.
