3.2.2 Mounting a GFC-2020 Accessory Lateral Output Deflection Mirror
The GFC-2020 accessory is a 102° Lateral Output deflection mirror which helps to position the
scanner body in a different orientation with respect to the code, for limited space applications.
The installation of the deflection mirror is very easy.
1. Make sure the device is not powered.
2. Remove the 0° scanning window from the scanner by unscrewing the two cover screws.

CAUTION
Avoid any contact with the deflection mirror, mirrored rotor, the lenses or
other optical components; otherwise the performance of the reader will be
reduced.
3. Clean the mirror surface and reading window with a clean soft cloth and alcohol before
closing the scanner.
4.
Mount the GFC-2020 accessory
so that the opening face is at 90° with respect to the
scanner body. Tighten the two cover screws.

The reading position with respect to the scanner is shown below. This provides a built-in
skew angle to avoid direct light reflection when the scanner is mountied at 90° with respect to
the code surface.
