SPECIFICATIONS MANUAL
Abstract
1
This manual provides specifications for the F-100 SR, a small and high performance fixed mount 1D
linear imager scanner capable of reading up to 80mm wide barcodes.
Overview2
The F-100 SR is a small size fixed position 1D linear imager scanner that allows for high speed
reading of up to 80mm wide barcodes at a distance of 35mm. Its main features are as follows:
Industry’s smallest size
A new optical system enabled us to create the smallest fixed mount scanner in the industry without
compromizing the performance.
High-speed 700 scans/second
Industry’s fastest class 700 scans/second makes reading of high speed moving barcodes possible.
Reliable reading
Reliable and instant reading of up to 80mm wide barcodes at a distance of 35mm.
Installation assistant function
The F-100 features a read rate mode in which the reading performance is indicated by a 3-color
status LED and the buzzer. This mode greatly simplifies the optimal installation in your application.
Configure / Waveform acquisition application
To configure the F-100, the “Universal Config” PC program is available which can generate serial
commands and menu barcodes. It is also possible to acquire waveforms for analysis of the reading
performance.
120mm width model
The F-100 SR is capable of reading up to 80mm wide barcodes at a distance of 35mm. For
applications that use wider barcodes there is also the WA model, capable of reading up to 120mm
wide barcodes at a distance of 64mm. This allows for the use of an imager based scanner in
applications that were previously only possible with laser scanners.
The scanner is a RoHS compliant product as declared by OPTOELECTRONICS Co., Ltd.

The F-100 consists out of an ‘Imager Section’, a decoder section that decodes the signal coming from
the imager section, a ‘Communication Control Section’ that takes care of the communication with a
host and finally a ‘Power Supply Section’ that generates the power supply voltages for the entire
scanner.
RS-232C Specification6.1
Input power supply voltage DC 5.0 V
Range of working voltage 4.75 to 5.25 V
Power ripple 100 mVp-p max (10 to 100 kHz, power supply voltage 5.0 V)
Current consumption* 340 mA (Typ.), 500mA (Max) during reading operation
100 mA (Typ.) in stand-by mode
USB Specification
6.2
Input power supply voltage 500 mA (High-Power)
Current consumption* 340 mA (Typ.), 500mA (Max) during reading operation
100 mA (Typ.) in stand-by mode
* The current consumption was measured at 25°C.
The current consumption was measured by placing a 1Ωseries resistor in the power supply lines and by
measuring the voltage across this resistor.
Current value may very depend on the connected host type.

Focal Plane7.2
The focal plane is located at 35mm from the front of the scanner. This is the position where the optical
performance is at its best. It is recommend to set the barcode at this position, especially when reading
a high resolution or a low PCS barcode. It is possible to read up to 80mm wide barcodes at this
distance.

Optical Axis and Dead Zone7.3
The optical axis is at 6.25±1mm from the bottom of the scanner. Please make sure to position the
barcode in this area and respect the possible tolerance. Make sure to tilt the barcode at least by ±10°.
The scanner may be unable to read when the barcode has a tilt angle between 0° and ±10° due to
specular (mirror like) reflection.

SPECIFICATIONS MANUAL
Motion Tolerance8.9
When scanning barcodes that are moving vertically as shown in figure 8, the scanner usually has
almost the same performance as when it is reading non moving barcodes. The scanning performance
is only reduced when a barcode is moved at very high speed or when the height of the barcode is very
small.
Figure 8: Barcode moving vertically
However, when scanning barcodes that are moving horizontally as shown in figure 9, the scanning
performance will be reduced rapidly at increasing speed. Therefore, make sure to stop the barcode for
a brief moment when the barcode is aligned at the center of the scanner.
Figure 9: Barcode moving horizontally
Note: When scanning barcodes on moving items as described above, scanning performance may decline rapidly,
depending on operating conditions.
