USER’S MANUAL
Advanced Middle-Range CCD Scan Module

Instruction
With an easy-to-integrate design and an outstanding scanning performance, this
middle-range CCD scan module is especially made for embedded scanning solution. Its
powerful linear CCD array enables 330 scans per second with a minimum resolution of
4mil for fast scans.
The scan module offers multiple interfaces including keyboard, RS-232C, and HID USB.
Besides, it has three mounting holes on the back of the case reserved for quick and
easy installation into your equipment. When working in field, its two-color LED in the
front gives immediate scanning response and the programmable tone and beep time
are to meet users’ need and enhance productivity.
The module has a newly designed CCD scan engine with light beam bright and clear as
laser beam that gives user best visual indication and its powerful high resolution CCD
acts in remarkable performance.
Maintaining the Scanner
The scanner is designed for long-term trouble-free operation and rarely requires any
maintenance. Only an occasional cleaning of the scanner window is necessary in order
to remove dirt and fingerprints.
Wipe the scan window with a soft lint-free cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid
scratching and damaging the scan window. The scan window may be cleaned while the
scanner is running.
Scratching the scanner window can reduce the scanning
performance. It is suggested to either recess the window into
the housing or apply a hard-coat on window.

Mounting
The scanner is designed to be easily embed into any space limited devices, and it has 3
screwed mounting holes reserved at the bottom.
- Screw description: M2 * 0.4
- Depth = 4.5mm
- Screw quantity: 3 pieces
Figure 1: Screw Position
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 CCD 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 (Figure 2).

Blink Mode
After the scanner has been inactive for a period of time, the light beam would
automatically start blinking. To stop the scanner from blinking, simply present an
object close to the scanner window. The Blink Mode feature is included to reduce
power consumption and to extend scanner life.
Scan Zone
Different quality and density of a barcode could effect the decode depth
of field. Usually when a barcode has poor printing quality or high
density, the depth of field would be shorter. It is highly suggested not
place the barcode label at the extremes of depth of field as it is often
easy to move out from the reading range.
