Precautions

Toensurethescannerreachesitsbestperformance,thefollowingpointsneedtobe

noticedwhenmountingthescanner:

a. Donotplacethescannerunderdirectsunlightoranyotherbrightlightsource

illuminating.

b. Whenplacingthebarcodelabel,onemustbecarefulnottoovertilt,skewand/or

pitchthebarcode.

c. Donotplacethedeviceatspeculareflectionposition.TheLEDlightofthescanner

reflectsdirectlybackonthescannerifitisplacedatspeculareflectionposition.

AstothenatureofCMOSsensor,itwillnotbeabletoreadanybarcodes.

d. Thebarcodelabelmustbeplacedwithintheeffectivedepthoffield(D.O.F.)since

itistheeffectivereadingdistanceforthebarcodefromthescanner.Forthebest

placingposition,pleaserefertotheDecodeDepthofFielddrawing.



MaintainingtheScanner

Handlingwithcare!Thescanenginesareelectrostaticsensitivedevice;donothandle

withbarehands.Storetheenginesawayfromdustandhumidityplaces.



ESD

ThescanenginesareprotectedfromESDeventsthatmayoccurinanESD‐controlled

environment.Alwaysexercisecarewhenhandlingthemodule.Usegroundingwrist

strapsandhandleinaproperlygroundedworkarea.

Mounting



Inthissection,wewillintroducewaystomountthescanengineintoyourdesign.



Atthebackofscanengine,therearetwoscrewholesreservedformounting,thescan

enginecanbefixedinanypositionandanyanglewithoutanydegradationin

performance.Andtoensurethescannerreachesitsbestperformance,thefollowing

pointsneedtobefollowedwhenmountingthescanner:



Toavoiddirectsunlightoranyotherbrightlightsourceilluminating.



Whenplacingthebarcodelabel,onemustbecarefulnottoovertilt,skewand/orpitch

thebarcode.



Toavoidputtingthescannerinspeculareflectionposition,theCMOSsensorwillnot

sensethereadingofanybarcodesiftheLEDlightreflectsstraightback.



Thebarcodemustbeplacedwithintheeffectivedepthoffield(D.O.F.)area,the

effectivereadingdistanceforthebarcodefromthescanner.Itstheoryislikeacamera,if

theobjectisplacedwithinthefocalrange,andtheimageappearsclearly.Butifthe

objectisoutsidethefocalrange,theimagethenisblurred.Anddifferentqualityand

densityofbarcodescouldaffectitsD.O.F;usuallyalowerpieceorhighdensityof

barcode,itsdepthoffieldisshorter.Itissuggestedtoavoidusingdepthoffield

extremesrange,barcodeiseasilymovedawayfromthereadingrange.



Forbestplacingposition,pleaserefertotheDecodeDepthofFielddrawing.

ThermalConsiderations

ElectroniccomponentsintheZ‐5112willgenerateheatduringthecourseoftheir

operation.OperatingtheZ‐5112incontinuousmodeforanextendedperiodmaycause

temperaturestoriseonAPUanddecoderchip.Overheatingcandegradeimagequality

andaffectscanningperformance.Giventhat,thefollowingprecautionsshouldbetaken

intoconsiderationwhenintegratingtheZ‐5112.

1. Reservesufficientspaceforgoodaircirculationinthedesign.

2. AvoidwrappingtheZ‐5112withthermalinsulationmaterialssuchasrubber.

3. Increasethethermalstrategytoreducethescanningenginecontinuousoperating

temperature.
