Quick Reference
Introduction
The MK1000 is a scanning system that allows retail shoppers to
easily verify prices on bar coded merchandise and obtain up-to-
the-minute information on in-store promotions -- while they shop.
The MK1000 does more than price verification. Its large easy-to-
read display can be used as an electronic billboard for instant in-
store merchandising and comes complete with the ability to
display graphicsand text messagesto promote seasonal sales, in-
store promotions, and upcoming events. The programmable
function buttons can enhance in-store applications and allow for
customer interaction.

Function Buttons
The MK1000 has four programmable function buttons. These
buttons can be programmed to allow the user to perform various
tasks such as navigating through an application and making
decisions when prompted.
Reset Button and Contrast Control Button
Reset Button
The Reset button can be used to reset the system. The Reset
button is located on the lower right-hand side of the unit and
marked with . Use a paper clip to push the switch.
Contrast Control Button
The display Contrast Control button is located below the Reset
button and marked with . Use the tip of a small screwdriver to
make contrast adjustments, if required.

Bar Code Scanning
The MK1000 automatically decodes a bar code presented in its
field of view. It can decode all standard 1-dimensional bar codes
plus PDF, micro-PDF, and composite bar codes.
Scanning Modes
The MK1000 operates in a number of different scan modes. Two
of the most commonly used modes are described below.
Scan Mode Description
Cyclone Omnidi-
rectional 1D Scan
Pattern (factory
default)
This is a highly efficient scan pattern which decodes 1D and
EAN/UCC reduced space symbologies in any orientation
Note: While in this mode, the MK1000 does not decode 2D
bar codes like PDF.
Smart Raster
Scan Pattern Creates a single scan line which opens vertically for PDF- 417 symbols using the Smart Raster feature. This feature
autodetects the type of bar code being scanned and adjusts
its pattern accordingly. This provides optimal performance
on 1D, PDF-417, EAN/UCC, RSS and Composite Codes.

Quick Reference
Specular Reflection
When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the
barcode,theycan“blind”thescannerandmakedecodingdifficult.
This phenomenon is called specular reflection.
To avoid this, scan the bar code so that thebeam does not bounce
directly back. But don’t scan at too oblique an angle; the scanner
needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a
successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to
work within.
Reflected beam is
within specular dead
zone and prevents
decode.
Decode can occur.
Tilt Bar Code At Slight Angle (Up to 30°)
No Specular Reflection. Specular Reflection.

Mechanical Setup and Installation
TheMK1000canbeconnectedto ahostusingoneofthefollowing
four MK1000 communication interfaces.
See the Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-53977-XX) for cable
pinouts.
Communication Interface Description
Wireless Ethernet (2Mb or 11Mb RF)
• Power via AC outlet
• Power via Power-over-Ether-
net
The MK1000 can communicate with a
host via a wireless (RF) Ethernet con-
nection.
When communicating in this manner the
MK1000 can be powered either using
the MK1000’s power supply connected
to an AC outlet, or by receiving Power-
over-Ethernet via cable.
Wired Ethernet (10 Base-T cable
• Power via AC outlet
• Power via Power-over-Ether-
net
The MK1000 can communicate with a
host via a wired Ethernet connection
(10Base-T cable).
When communicating in this manner the
MK1000 can be powered either using
the MK1000’s power supply connected
to an AC outlet, or by receiving Power-
over-Ethernet through the Ethernet ca-
ble.
Wired RS-485 (Serial cable) The MK1000 can communicate with a
host via a wired RS-485 Serial connec-
tion while receiving power via a power
supply plugged into an AC outlet.
For MK1000 devices installed where
pre-existing PCK 9100 wiring exists, an
RS-485 pin-out converter can be used.
This pin-out converter maps the PCK
9100 signals into the required MK1000
pin-out and attaches to the existing PCK
9100 wiring, and then into the MK1000.
Wired RS-232 (Serial cable) The MK1000 can communicate with a
host via a Serial cable connected to the
Com/Scannerportwhile receiving power
via a power supply plugged into and AC
outlet.

Quick Reference
Mounting the MK1000 on a Wall
The MK1000 can be mounted on a wall, pole or counter top.
Separately sold mounting accessories are listed below.
• Wall Mount Kit
• Pole Mount Kit
• Counter Top Stand
The MK1000 can also be mounted without the accessories listed
above. To mount the MK1000 on a wall without using the wall
mount kit, follow the instructions below.
1. Determine the MK1000 mounting location.
2. Using a pencil, mark the mounting screw location. Refer
to the mounting template. The screws must be 5 inches
(12.7 cm) apart, left to right: and, 6 inches (15.3 cm)
apart, top to bottom.
There must be a clearance of at least 9/16 of an inch (14.3mm)
between the center of the right side mount holes and nearest
object.
