Chapter 1 Introduction ! Caution Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified here can result in hazardous laser light exposure. Overview The MS-320X is a member of the MiniScan family of fixed-mount scanners specifically designed for stand-alone applications, and OEM applications such as kiosks. The MS-320X provides easy and flexible integration of bar code scanning into a host device.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Figure 1-1. MiniScan Family of Scanners MiniScan MS-320X Features • Stand-alone or OEM applications • Quick and easy integration for OEM devices • Excellent scanning performance on all types of bar codes • Rugged IP54 sealed housing with integrated beeper • RS-232 or multi-interface (USB, Synapse, TTL RS-232) • Easy programming and configuration • Flexible mounting options.
Introduction OEM Applications • Kiosks / ATMs • Music Listening Stations • Security / ID Verification • Lottery terminals / Gaming. Block Diagram The MiniScan block diagram illustrates the functional relationship of the MiniScan components. A detailed description of each component in the block diagram is also provided.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Miniscan Block Diagram Descriptions Decoded Scan Engine - The scan engine emits a beam of laser light that reflects off the bar code to be decoded. 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).
Introduction Scanning Patterns The MiniScan generates four scanning patterns based on the software command received at the interface. These patterns are Smart Raster, Semi-omnidirectional, Omnidirectional, and High Density Single Scan Line. The raster pattern can be used to read 1D bar codes and PDF symbols. The omnidirectional pattern reads 1D bar codes in an omnidirectional manner.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern The semi-omnidirectional pattern is an alternative to the full omnidirectional pattern that scans highly truncated 1D and RSS bar codes. Present bar codes horizontally with no more than a 20o tilt. Figure 1-4. Semi-omnidirectional Scan Pattern Omnidirectional Scan Pattern The high-speed rotating Omnidirectional scan pattern provides aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because there are no “holes” in the pattern.
Introduction High Density Single Scan Line The High Density single scan line appears as a "mini" raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes. Figure 1-6.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Beeper and LED Definitions Table 1-1 provides standard beeper definitions, and Table 1-2 provides LED definitions. Table 1-1. Standard Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Standard Use 1 Beep - short high tone A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled). 1 Beep - long high tone Thermal shutdown. 3 Beeps - short high tone Power-on or reset.
Chapter 2 Installation Overview This chapter provides information on unpacking, mounting, and installing the MiniScan, and includes physical and electrical considerations. Unpacking Remove the MiniScan from its packing and inspect for damage. If the scanner is damaged, call the Symbol Support Center at the telephone number listed on page xiii. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment needs to be returned for servicing.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Mounting There are three mounting holes (threaded inserts) on the bottom of the chassis. Figure 2-1 provides mounting dimensions for the MiniScan scanner housing. For a mounting template, see Mounting Template on page 13-1. Note: Use only non-magnetic M3x.5 screws with a maximum length of 3.6M for mounting the MiniScan scanner chassis. Threaded Inserts Note: Dimensions are in inches [mm]. Figure 2-1.
Installation Mounting the Scanner on the Stand (optional) To mount the scanner on the optional stand: 1. 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 will align with the proper mounting holes on the stand. 2. Secure the scanner to the stand using the three screws provided with the stand.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Note: Before tightening the wingnut under the base, ensure that the flat areas on the flexible neck fit securely in the grooves in the base. Mounting the Stand (optional) You can attach the base of the scanner’s stand to a flat surface using two screws or doublesided tape (not provided). Screw Mount 1. Position the assembled base on a flat surface. 2. Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount hole until the base of the stand is secure. Tape Mount 1.

Installation Location and Positioning Caution The location and positioning guidelines provided do not consider unique application characteristics. It is recommended that an opto-mechanical engineer perform an opto-mechanical analysis prior to integration. Note: Integrate the scanner in an environment no more extreme than the product’s specification, where the scanner will not exceed its temperature range. For instance, do not mount the scanner on to or next to a large heat source.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Calculating The Usable Scan Length Method Calculate usable scan length as follows (see Figure 2-8 on page 2-11): L = 2 x (D+d+B) x Tan (A/2) Table 2-1. Calculation Constants Constants MS-320x B A 1.93 34° Where: D = Distance (in inches) from the front edge of the host housing to the bar code. d = The host housing’s internal optical path from the edge of the housing to the front of the MiniScan scanner.
Installation Bar Code Host System 1/2 L MiniScan L A 1/2 L B d D Figure 2-8. Usable Scan Length Diagram Testing The Usable Scan Length Method Due to the variety of symbol sizes, densities, print quality, etc., there is no simple way to calculate the ideal symbol distance. To optimize performance, use the Testing The Usable Scan Length positioning method: 1. Measure the maximum and minimum distances at which the symbols can be read. 2. Check the near and far range on several symbols.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide 5. Position the symbol so that the scan line is as near as possible to perpendicular to the bars and spaces in the symbol. 6. Avoid specular reflection (glare) off the symbol by tilting the top or bottom of the symbol away from the scanner. The exact angle is not critical, but it must be large enough so that if a mirror were inserted in the symbol location, the reflected scan line would miss the front surface of the scanner.
Installation Symbol is Perpendicular to Conveyor Movement With the symbol bars perpendicular to the conveyor belt direction (Picket Fence presentation) the relationship is: V = (R x (F-W)) / N where: V = Velocity of the conveyor (inches/second) R = Scan Rate (640 scans/second) F = Field width of scan beam W = Symbol Width (inches) N = Number of scans over symbol (minimum of 10 scans) F=Field Width mbol W idth W=Sy Directi on of C onvey or Per Scan Beam pendic ular to Symb ol Figure 2-9.

Chapter 5 Scanning Overview This chapter provides information on scanning and the various triggering options. Scanning Tips When scanning, make sure the symbol to be scanned is within the scanning range. See Calculating The Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-10. Align the bar code with the scan beam. The green decode LED lights to indicate a successful decode. Scan the Entire Symbol • The scan beam must cross every bar and space on the symbol.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Position at an Angle Do not position the scanner exactly perpendicular to the bar code. In this position, light can bounce back into the scanner's exit window and prevent a successful decode. Triggering Options Continuous (Default) The laser is enabled continuously and decode processing is continuously active. The scanner can be configured to scan and transmit a bar code, and then not decode the same bar code or any bar code for a set period of time.
Scanning Pulse Trigger The laser is enabled and decode processing begins when the trigger line is activated. Decode processing continues regardless of the trigger line until a good decode occurs, or until the Laser On Time expires. The laser is disabled once decode processing is complete. The next decode attempt will not occur until the trigger line is released and then reactivated.

MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Hardware Handshaking The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). If Standard RTS/CTS handshaking is not selected, scan data is transmitted as it becomes available. Select Standard RTS/CTS handshaking to transmit scan data according to the following sequence: • The scanner reads the CTS line for activity.
RS-232 Interface None Scan the bar code below if no Hardware Handshaking is desired. *None Standard RTS/CTS Scan the bar code below to select Standard RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking. Standard RTS/CTS RTS/CTS Option 1 When RTS/CTS Option 1 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS before transmitting and ignores the state of CTS. The scanner de-asserts RTS when the transmission is complete. RTS/CTS Option 1 RTS/CTS Option 2 When Option 2 is selected, RTS is always high or low (user-programmed logic level).
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide RTS/CTS Option 3 When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission, regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out (default) for CTS to be asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.
RS-232 Interface ACK/NAK When this option is selected, after transmitting data, the scanner expects either an ACK or NAK response from the host. When the scanner receives a NAK, it re-transmits the data and waits for either an ACK or NAK. After three unsuccessful attempts to send data, the scanner issues an error indication and discards the data. The scanner waits up to the programmable Host Serial Response Time-out to receive an ACK or NAK.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide XON/XOFF An XOFF character turns the scanner transmission off until the scanner receives an XON character. There are two situations for XON/XOFF: • XOFF is received before the scanner has data to send. When the scanner has data to send, it waits up to Host Serial Response Time-out for an XON character before transmission. If the scanner does not receive an XON within this time, it issues an error indication and discards the data.
RS-232 Interface Host Serial Response Time-out This parameter specifies how long the scanner waits for an ACK, NAK, or CTS before determining that a transmission error has occurred. This only applies when an ACK/NAK Software Handshaking mode or RTS/CTS Hardware Handshaking is enabled. *Minimum: 2 Sec Low: 2.5 Sec Medium: 5 Sec High: 7.5 Sec Maximum: 9.

Chapter 10 123Scan (MS-3207 Only) Introduction 123Scan is a Windows®-based utility for the MS-3207 only, that enables programming these scanners with all parameters, including Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) rules. An ADF rule modifies bar code data before it is sent to the host to ensure compatibility between this data and the host application, so there is no need to modify the host software. Scanners can be programmed via PC download or by scanning a sheet of bar codes generated by the 123Scan utility.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide 123Scan Parameter To communicate with the 123Scan program, install 123Scan, included in the documentation CD-ROM, onto the PC and scan the bar code below. Refer to 123Scan instructions for programming the scanner. Note: Scanning this bar code enables the 123Scan interface on the scanner.
Chapter 11 Advanced Data Formatting (MS-3207 Only) Introduction Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) is a means of customizing data before transmission to a host device. Scan data can be edited to suit particular requirements. ADF can be implemented through scanning a related series of bar codes, which begin on page 11-8, or by installing the 123Scan utility (see Chapter 10, 123Scan (MS-3207 Only)) which allows the MiniScan scanner to programmed with Advanced Data Formatting (ADF) Rules.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X1559828 is scanned, the scanner transmits: 00001299. If a Code 39 bar code of 1299X15598 is scanned, this rule is ignored because the length criteria is not met. The rule specifies the editing conditions and requirements before data transmission occurs. Using ADF Bar Codes When programming a rule, make sure the rule is logically correct. Plan ahead before scanning. To program each data formatting rule: • Start the Rule.
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-3207 Only) ADF Bar Code Menu Example This section provides an example of how to enter and use ADF rules for scan data. An auto parts distribution center wants to encode manufacturer ID, part number, and destination code into their own Code 128 bar codes. The distribution center also has products that carry UPC bar codes applied by the manufacturer.

Advanced Data Formatting (MS-3207 Only) where: Class = 24 Stock Number = 56712437 Price = 01500 Ordinarily you would send this data as follows: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) 01500 (enter key) But, when there is a sale, you may want to send only the following: 24 (class key) 56712437 (stock key) and the cashier keys the price manually.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide The switching back to normal rules can also be done in the “sale” rule. For example: When scanning a bar code of length 15, send the next 2 characters, send the class key, send the next 8 characters, send the stock key, turn off rule set 1. It is recommended that you scan the Disable All Rule Sets bar code on page 11-11 after programming a rule belonging to an alternate rule set.
Advanced Data Formatting (MS-3207 Only) Default Rules Every unit has a default rule to send all scan data. Units with custom software can have one or more default rules. The rules hierarchy checks user programmable rules first, then the default rules. To disable default rules, enter the following general rule in the user programmable buffer: When receiving scan data, send all data. Since this rule always applies, ADF never goes into the default rules.
MiniScan MS-320X Integration Guide Special Commands Pause Duration This parameter along with Send Pause on page 11-29 inserts a pause in the data transmission. To set a pause, which is measured in 0.1 second intervals, scan a two-digit number (i.e., two numeric bar codes). For example, scanning bar codes 0 and 1 inserts a 0.1 second pause; 0 and 5 inserts a 0.5 second delay. Numeric bar codes begin on page 7-143. To change the selection or to cancel an incorrect entry, scan Cancel on page 7145.
