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.
