1. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
The MT10 Linear Image Barcode Scan Engine is designed for 1D barcode middle
range reading, and high performance barcode scanning with optimal performance and
easy integration. MT10 is ideal for integration into data terminals and other small
mobile devices.
The MT10 consists of 2 illumination LEDs, a high-quality linear image sensor and a
microprocessor that contains powerful firmware to control all aspects of operations
and enable communication with the host system over the standard set of
communication interfaces.
Two interfaces, UART & USB, are available. UART interface communicates with the
host system over TTL-level RS232 communication; USB interface emulates a USB
Keyboard device and communicates with the host system over USB.

1-3. Operational Operational Timing Timing
This chapter describes the timing associated with the various operating modes of
the MT10 including Power Up, Sleep Mode, and Decode Timing.
1-3-
1-3-1 1. .Power Power Up Up
When power is initially applied, the MT10 is activated and begins the
process of initialization. Once initialization (duration ≦10mS) is
completed, the MT10 enters Standby Mode and is ready for barcode
scanning.
1-3-
1-3-2 2. .Sleep Sleep (Idle) (Idle) Mode Mode
The MT10 will enter Sleep (Idle) Mode and output a Power Down signal
(Active high) after a programmable time period has elapsed without any
activity. Please see Chapter 6 for more details about Sleep Mode.
1-3-
1-3-3 3. .Decode Decode Timing Timing
In Standby Mode, The MT10 is activated by the Trigger signal which MUST
be kept low for at least 20 ms until the successful scan is achieved, as
indicated by the Buzzer/LED signals.
In Sleep Mode, the MT10 can be waken up by the Trigger signal which
MUST be kept low for at least 20 mS until the successful scan is achieved,
as indicated by the Buzzer/LED signal.
The total scan and decode time is approximately equal to the time from the
Trigger signal going low to the Buzzer/LED signal going high. This time will
vary slightly based on several factors including barcode quality, barcode
type and the distance between MT10 and the barcode scanned.
Upon a successful scan, the MT10 outputs the Buzzer/LED signal and
keeps this signal for the duration of the transmission of the data decoded to
the host side. The duration is about 75 ms.
Therefore, the total duration of a typical scanning operation (from Trigger
turning low to the end of Buzzer PWM signal) is also approximately 120mS.

1. The maximum duration of initialization is 10mS.
2. The maximum duration of scanning operation in Standby Mode is 120mS.
3. The minimum duration of waking up MT10 from Sleep Mode by
Trigger signal is about 2 ms.
4. The maximum duration of waking up MT10 from Sleep Mode by Trigger
signal and completing decode (when barcode is within optimal focus) is
about 120ms

2- -4. 4. Operat Operation ion Method Method
1. At power-up, the MT10 sends the Power-Up signals over Buzzer and LED
pins as an indication that the MT10 enters into Standby Mode and is ready
for operation.
2. Once the MT10 triggered by either hardware or software method, it will emit a
narrow, horizontal slab of light which is aligned with the sensor’s field ofview.
3. The linear image sensor captures the linear image of barcode and produces
an analog waveform, which is sampled and analyzed by the decoder
firmware running on the MT10.
4. Upon a successful barcode decoded, the MT10 turns off the illumination
LEDs, sends the Good Read signals over Buzzer and LED pins and transmits
the decoded data to the host.
5. The MT10 may enter into Sleep Mode (Please see Chapter 6 for more
details) after a period of inactivity in order to reduce power consumption.

3. .INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
The MT10 scan engine is designed specifically for integration into customer's housing
for OEM applications. However, the MT10’s performance will be adversely affected or
permanently damaged when mounted into an unsuitable enclosure.
Warning: The limited warranty is void if the following recommendations are not
adhered to when mounting the MT10.
3-1.
3-1. Electrostatic Electrostatic Di Discharge scharge Cautions Cautions
All MT10s are shipped in ESD protective packaging due to the sensitive nature of
the exposed electrical components.
1. ALWAYS use grounding wrist straps and a grounded work area when
unpacking and handling the MT10.
2. Mount the MT10 in a housing that is designed for ESD protection and stray
electric fields.
3-2.
3-2. Mechanical Mechanical Dimension Dimension
When securing the MT10 by utilizing the self-forming screws:
1. Leave sufficient space to accommodate the maximum size of the MT10.
2. Do not exceed 1kg-cm (0.86 lb-in) of torque when securing the MT10 to the
host.
3. Use safe ESD practices when handling and mounting the MT10.
