READ THIS FIRST SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous radiation or electrical voltages. The LazerData Series 9000E Bar Code Scanning System incorporates features that provide for maximum safety. However, it must be recognized that any equipment employing electrical voltage and emitting direct or scattered radiation may cause serious damage and/or personal injury if improperly handled.
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder 1-4
INTRODUCTION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The LazerData Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder offers scanning and decoding functions in a single package measuring only 2.5" wide X 2.5" high X 3.85" long. The durable extruded aluminum housing affords maximum protection for the scanning optics and decoding circuitry. Scanning at speeds from 100 to 1500 scans per second, it is ideal for applications such as high speed packaging machines.
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder Decoding Capability C11, C39, C93, C128, C49 (2 row numeric only), Codabar, UPCE*, UPCA*, EAN8*, EAN13*, I2/5, Binary, AS10, Pharmacode, ISTR. (* with or without supplemental.
INTRODUCTION PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The LazerData Series 9000E bar code scanner/decoder uses a light beam generated by a laser diode light source to illuminate bar code labels. The laser beam is deflected in a fan shaped pattern across the label. The reflected light of the laser beam, representing the light and dark bars of the coded label, is then collected and focused by a lens onto a photodiode, processed, then converted to a digital signal.
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder 2-4
INSTALLATION INTRODUCTION The LazerData Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder is designed for easy installation in many diverse applications and, because of its small size and light weight, can be mounted with common hardware. The user may fabricate a custom mounting bracket or use the mounting holes provided. The scanner can be mounted in any orientation, but label position, and motion relative to the scanner dictate optimum position and distance, as discussed in this section.
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder Inspect all items received for any visible damage that may have been incurred during shipping. Of particular interest is the glass window at the front of the scanner unit. If any items are missing or damaged, immediately notify the carrier and Customer Administration at PSC Automation, Inc. Call 1-800-843-2700. Maintain all shipping documentation, containers, and packing materials until discrepancies are cleared.
INSTALLATION Dimensions Figure 3-1 3-3
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder POWER REQUIREMENTS The Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder is powered from a multiple-voltage DC power source. Voltages required are +5 VDC @860 mA. and +12 VDC @ 300 mA. These voltages are supplied to the unit through a keyed 5-pin power connector. The I/O Port is an alternate connection for input power. For connector wiring consult Section 4, Signal Interfaces.
INSTALLATION MOUNTING ORIENTATION Optimum operation of the bar code scanner demands proper orientation of the scanner relative to the bar code label it is to read. It is not possible to cover all situations so general rules are provided here. The Applications Engineering Group at PSC Automation, Inc. is available to assist in establishing mounting parameters in unusual situations. Call (800) 843-2700 for assistance.
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder Operating Distance and Beam Sweep Width of Various Bar Sizes Figure 3-3 3-6
INSTALLATION In addition to being the correct distance from the scanner, the scan line must pass through the entire code symbol including the quiet zone at the beginning and end of the code. The quiet zone is a white area at least ten times the width of a narrow bar in the code. This is illustrated in Figure 3-4 below. Scanning Beam Position Figure 3-4 The more times the scanning beam passes through the entire code symbol, the greater is the probability of successfully reading the code.
Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder Beam Sweeps Over Code Figure 3-5 3-8
INSTALLATION RASTER Some models of the Series 9000E Scanner/Decoder are supplied with a raster scan option. Not only does the beam scan horizontally but it is also incremented vertically so as to sweep an area. The area covered depends on the raster deflection and the distance from the scanner. The unit is available with 5o, 10o, 20o, and 30o deflection. Figure 3-6 below shows the area covered for various deflections and distances from the scanner. For 500-scan/sec.

HOST PROGRAMMING INTRODUCTION In addition to having the capability of being programmed by a terminal connected to the Local Port, the Series 9000E Bar Code Scanner/Decoder can be programmed by commands from the host computer. Since the host may be used for both data collection and system configuration, a simple programming language is offered to allow system tailoring or alteration based on the flow of barcode data from the scanning system.
Series 9000E Bar Code Scanner/Decoder PROGRAMMING Host commands are accessed via the host port of the Series 9000E Bar Code Scanner/Decoder . A communications package such as Telix, Procomm, SSDL or LCDOS can be used. Type CTRL-R and the following prompt will appear ">:" At this point the user has entered the Host Commands mode. All Host Commands must be capitalized. Other text may be upper or lower case. END or EXIT will exit the Host Commands mode.

APPENDIX GLOSSARY OF TERMS Alphanumeric Display - A display that presents the alphabetic characters A thru Z as well as the numbers 0 thru 9. Bar Code - An array of rectangular marks and spaces in a predetermined pattern. Bar Code Character - A single group of bars and spaces which represent an individual number, letter, punctuation mark or other symbol. Baud - The signalling rate at which serial data transmissions are sent.
SERIES 9000E Decoder - A microprocessor based device that accepts a digital input signal from a scanner, decodes that signal, and transmits the barcoded data to another device. Depth of Field - The distance between the maximum and minimum plane from which a bar code symbol can be read. EAN - European Article Numbering System, the international standard bar code for retail food packages. EIA - Electronic Industries Association.
APPENDIX Photodetector - A semiconductor device who's output changes in proportion to the amount of light striking its sensing surface. Quiet Zone - A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code and follows the stop character. Resolution - The dimension of the smallest code element which can be identified by an optical scanner. Normally measured in thousandths of an inch. Skew - Misalignment of the code symbol around the z-axis.
