1Before you start
Introduction
The MaxiScan 1000 (M1000) is a CCD scanning and decoding engine designed for
integration into an OEM device. It is suitable for a wide range of retail and industrial
applications.
This Integration Guide explains how to install and set up your M1000.
You can use the EasySet setup software to set up the M1000.
See the inside cover for regulatory statements and license information.
Warnings

Integration considerations
Environment Protect the M1000 from dust and humidity and make
sure your operating environment is suitable (see the
Technical characteristics section)
Reading distance High-density bar codes require a shorter reading
distance than low-density bar codes. Reading distance is
less critical for medium density bar codes (see the
Reading distance section)
Setup Test the setup before you install the M1000 permanently
Symbologies •Use standard symbologies best suited to your
application—some symbologies (Interleaved 2 of 5
for example) are less reliable than others
•Use as few symbologies as possible
•Fixed barcode lengths and check digits increase
reading efficiency and security
I/O synchronization •An external input synchronization device can be
used to activate the M1000
•The M1000 can send a synchronization output to
control external devices according to the read result
•See the Input/output synchronization section

1Before you start
MaxiScan 1000 - Integration Guide 7
Location and reading position
The M1000 can be mounted inside a hand-held or fixed device in any orientation.
Tilt •Prevents reading of a bar code if all the bars are not inside the
reading beam
no read
read OK
tilt
good read
Pitch •Reduces bar width and is much more critical for high-density
barcodes
•Reading may be possible with a pitch angle up to 70°
•Reduce pitch to increase reading efficiency
pitch

1Before you start
8MaxiScan 1000 - Integration Guide
Skew •Reduces bar height
•Reading may be possible with a skew angle up to 65°
•Reduce skew to increase reading efficiency
•A small skew angle (2-3° minimum) is good as it prevents
specular reflection

Mounting a window
The characteristics and position of the exit window are important for the performance
of your M1000.
•Recommended window angle = 30° from vertical (in either direction)
•An anti-reflection coating increases performance (and permits a lower window
angle)
•Recommended maximum wavefront distortion = 0.2 wavelengths (peak to valley)
over any 2.5 mm diameter area of the window
•A scratched window reduces performance

Input / output synchronization
Input synchronization
Voltage level
(high) The M1000 is triggered when the voltage level is high on pin 12. It
remains active until the voltage is removed or until a good read
(according to setup).
Voltage level
(low) The M1000 is triggered when the voltage level is low on pin 12. It
remains active until a voltage is applied or until a good read
(according to setup).
Rising edge The M1000 is triggered by a rising edge voltage on pin 12. It remains
active until a good read or timeout (according to setup).
Falling edge The M1000 is triggered by a falling edge voltage on pin 12. It remains
active until a good read or timeout (according to setup).
Rising &
falling edge The M1000 is triggered by a rising or falling edge voltage on pin 12. It
remains active until a good read or timeout (according to setup).
Software The M1000 is triggered when a start character is received. It remains
active until it receives a stop character or timeout (according to
setup). The start and stop characters are user programmable. This
software trigger can be combined with any of the above. See
EasySet for more details.
Output synchronization
A good read or bad read by the M1000 triggers an action on pin 14 of the M1000.
Trigger Good read The output device is triggered when the M1000 performs a
good read.
Bad read The output device is triggered when the M1000 does not
perform a good read during an input synchronization cycle.
Action Voltage
level (high) The output trigger event (good read or bad read)
disconnects pin 14 from the ground. A high level voltage
applied to pin 14 by the output device remains at a high
level until time out.
Voltage
level (low) The output trigger event (good read or bad read) grounds
pin 14. A high level voltage applied to pin 14 by the output
device drops to a low level until time out.
Software The M1000 sends a specified character when it performs a good read or
does not perform a good read during an input synchronization cycle
(according to setup). This software output can be combined with an action
voltage level (high) or voltage level (low).

5Setup
There are 4 different ways to set up your M1000:
•Online setup with EasySet
•Online setup with commands (see the Slave mode section)
•Offline setup with barcodes printed from EasySet
•Basic setup using the barcodes in the Basic setup section
EasySet System configuration software is the easiest way to set up your M1000. You
can download your custom settings directly to the M1000 or print out and scan the
corresponding configuration bar codes.
If you want to configure your M1000 dynamically, or if your M1000 is not connected to
a PC, use the slave mode to send setup commands directly to your M1000 (see the
Slave mode section).
To set up your M1000 in a test configuration without using EasySet, scan the bar
codes in the Basic setup section. The basic setup does not include all the
configuration possibilities of the M1000.
