Install Your FuzzyScan
Adjust Reading Angle
The readability may be impacted by the specular reflection caused by the
perpendicular reading angle. To get the most optimal reading performance, it
is recommended to install the scanner at an approximate 15° angle to the
perpendicular line of the target barcode. However, the reading angle and
distance may vary depending on the size and printing quality of barcodes.
Mount Your FuzzyScan
There are two M3 mounting holes on the bottom of the chassis. Please follow
below procedures to mount your scanner.
Prepare two appropriate M3 screws (minimal 4mm in depth) and decide
your desired mounting location. Then adjust the two screws to
accommodate 27mm center width.
Optimize the mounting position by adjusting reading angle and distance.
Ensure the illumination envelop is not blocked by any external object.
Use the Intelli Button to verify the actual reading rate. If the reading rate
is not good enough, please adjust the reading angle and distance to get
the optimum readability.

Intelli Button
For normal operation, the Intelli Button of the scanner acts as a manual
Trigger Switch. You can press the Intelli Button to scan the corresponding
barcode commands to configure your scanner with ease. Moreover, the
useful Intelli Button can help you to identify the best mounting position.
Please refer to following descriptions for more details.
Optimize Your Installation
Once the mounting position for the scanner is determined, you may use the
Intelli Button to optimize the mounting position with ease. Please follow below
procedures to use the Intelli Button.
Press and hold the Intelli Button for more than 5seconds until the status
indicator gives one green blink, then release the button. The scanner will
emit 2 short beeps and the power indicator will flash blue blink per 1
second to indicate the force reading process is activated. The scanner
will turn on the light source to scan barcodes continuously until the whole
process completed.
Keep the scanner to read the same barcode. The scanner will count the
Good Read numbers, then output the information of reading rate and
refresh LED indications every 100 scans. The format of output message
is listed below.
< Readout data > : < Reading rate (0 to 100) >
Meanwhile, both Status and OK/NG indicators provide the visible reading
rate information as well. You may refer to the table listed below for details.
Reading Rate Status Indicator OK/NG Indicator
100% Steady Green Steady Green
80 to 99% Steady Red Steady Green
50 to 79% Steady Green Steady Red
20 to 49% Steady Orange Steady Orange
0 to 19% Steady Red Steady Red
If the reading rate is not good enough, please adjust the reading angle
and distance to get the optimum readability. If you would like to exit the
force reading process, please press the Intelli Button once again.
1. If the scanner is unable to read any barcode after time-out duration
(default is 900ms), the scanner will count it as a NG reading.
2. During force reading process, the OK/NG output signals will not be
performed.

Use Your FuzzyScan
Both FuzzyScan Barcode commands and Serial commands are available
to configure your scanner. The FuzzyScan barcode commands are a series
of proprietary barcodes which allow you to easily configure the scanner for
most applications. Moreover, the FuzzyScan serial commands are ideal for
precise and complicated reading control in machine-controllable
environments. Please refer to the relevant documentations for details.
External Trigger and Serial Trigger
The scanner provides both external trigger and serial trigger to activate the
scanning processes. Please note that the external trigger is only available for
universal models. The serial trigger is workable for all models including
RS232 serial and USB COM Port Emulation interfaces.
User Defined Serial Trigger Command
For user’s convenience to replace the other existing fixed mount scanner, the
useful user defined serial trigger command allows you to trigger the scanner
without impacting the existing application programs.
Scan Input Time-out
The scan input time-out is an adjustable value for the time period that light
source turns on. It’s available for presentation, alternative and level modes.
The scanner keeps the light source on and continues to scan until the defined
scan input time-out is up. You can adjust the time-out duration from 100
milliseconds to 99 seconds to meet various application demands.
OK and NG Outputs
The universal models support additional OK and NG outputs for more precise
reading control. If the scanner got a good read, a signal will be outputted
through the OK pin. However, if the scanner failed to read the barcode during
a reading cycle or preset scan input time-out, a signal will be outputted
through the NG pin.
The OK and NG outputs are designed as NPN signal outputs and preset to
active low. If necessary, you can change the active state of OK and NG
outputs to meet your applications.
Operation Modes
The FuzzyScan Fixed Mount Scanner provides five different operation modes,
including trigger, alternative, level, presentation and force modes to meet
various application demands.
Both the presentation and force modes support triggerless operation, you
don’t need to use either external trigger or serial trigger to activate the
scanning. But the trigger, alternative and level modes have to work with
external trigger or serial trigger to scan barcode.

Operation Mode area-imaging fixed mount scanner
The details of each operation mode supported by FA470 area-imaging fixed
mount scanner are listed below.
Trigger Mode
Under trigger mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to read barcode
when it receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON command. Once the
external trigger has been released, or the scanner gets a good read or a
serial trigger OFF command, the scanner will stop reading and wait for the
next trigger to activate scanning again.
Alternative Mode
When the scanner receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON
command under alternative mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to
read barcodes until the preset scan input time-out is up. The scan input
time-out will be reset after each good read. Once the light source goes off,
the scanner is waiting for the next trigger to activate scanning again.
Level Mode
When the scanner receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON
command under level mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to read
barcodes until a good read is performed or the preset scan input time-out
is up. Once the light source goes off, the scanner is waiting for the next
trigger to activate scanning again
Presentation Mode
When presentation mode is selected, the scanner is preset to turn on the
background lighting to detect the bar codes. Once the scanner detects an
image similar to a bar code in the scanner field of view, it will turn on the light
source to scan until the preset scan input time-out is up. You may adjust
the setting of “Presentation Sensitivity” to increase the detection sensitivity.
Force Mode
Under force mode, the scanner continues to read barcodes without using
external trigger or serial trigger. Please note that the scanner will not stop
reading until you switch to another operation mode.

Operation Mode linear fixed mount scanner
The details of each operation mode supported by FM480 fixed mount
scanner are listed below.
Trigger Mode
Under trigger mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to read barcode
when it receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON command. Once the
external trigger has been released, or the scanner gets a good read or a
serial trigger OFF command, the scanner will stop reading and wait for the
next trigger to activate scanning again.
Alternative Mode
When the scanner receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON
command under alternative mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to
read barcodes until the preset scan input time-out is up. The scan input
time-out will be reset after each good read. Once the light source goes off,
the scanner is waiting for the next trigger to activate scanning again.
Level Mode
When the scanner receives an external trigger or a serial trigger ON
command under level mode, the scanner will turn on the light source to read
barcodes until a good read is performed or the preset scan input time-out
is up. Once the light source goes off, the scanner is waiting for the next
trigger to activate scanning again.
Presentation Mode
Under presentation mode, the scanner will automatically detect the object
movement in the scanner field of view. Once the scanner detects an image
similar to a barcode, it will turn on the light source to scan until the preset
scan input time-out is up. For dark environments, you may adjust the setting
of “Presentation Sensitivity” to increase the detection sensitivity.
Force Mode
Under force mode, the scanner continues to read barcodes without using
external trigger or serial trigger. Please note that the scanner will not stop
reading until you switch to another operation mode.
