CHAPTER 1
RAPID CONFIGURATION
STEP 1 - CONNECT THE SYSTEM
The paragraphs in this step show a typical hardware setup depending on the Matrix 120
model and interface selection. Several other layouts are described in Typical Layouts.
Ethernet Connections
To connect the system in an Ethernet point-to-point configuration, you need the hard-
ware indicated in Figure 1. In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host from the
Matrix 120 on-board Ethernet interface by using a CAB-ETH-M0x cable. There is no
need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 120™ incorporates an autocross function.
Matrix 120 power and I/O device connections take place through the CBX connection
box using the CAB-1011 accessory cable.
When One Shot or Phase Mode Operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an
External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

RAPID CONFIGURATION
6 MATRIX 120™
3. Refer to the reading diagrams in Chapter 6, to determine the distance your reader
should be positioned at.
NOTE
STEP 3 - X-PRESS CONFIGURATION
The Matrix 120 models are factory calibrated at three focus positions (45, 70 and 125
mm for WVGA models; 45, 80 and 125 mm for MP models). Using a 2.5 mm Hex key
(Allen wrench), rotate the Focus Adjustment Screw at the back of the reader to one of
these three positions for your application.
Refer to the Reading Diagrams in Chapter 6, Reading Features, which show the reading
ranges at the different focus positions for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) codes.
Focus/Aiming
Matrix 120™ devices provide a built-in aiming system to aid reader positioning. The aim-
ing system is accessed through the X-PRESS Interface.
1. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the
LEDs blink for one second. On the connector side of the reader near the cable, the
“POWER ON” LED (blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.
2. Enter the Focus/Aim function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS push button
until the Aim LED is on.
3. Release the button to enter the Aim function. The aiming system turns on see .
4. Place an application specific code in front of the reader at the reading distance
indicated for your model as described above, centering it a few mm to the left of
the aiming system indicator as shown below.
FOV
Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 120™ reader can be made either
through the X-PRESS™ interface (steps 3) which requires no PC con-
nection, or by using the DL.CODE Configuration Program (steps 5-6).
Select the procedure according to your needs.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the Focus Adjustment Screw beyond the focus scale limits
otherwise damage can occur to the focus mechanism.
