Mounting the Scanner
This section describes how to design the mounting for optimum scanner
performance.
General Considerations
A typical system uses the scanner mounted inside a host enclosure, with
an opening for the scanning pattern to exit and read bar codes. The open-
ing should be the size of the scanner field of view at a minimum, but only
exposing as much of the scanner as necessary.
Although the scanner has been designed to be rugged, it is important to
consider the effect of the environment on the scanner. In particular,
mounting should minimize the possibility of foreign objects coming into
contact with the electronics. Such contact could damage the device or re-
duce the scanner's performance.
Mounting
The primary method of mounting to the host enclosure is to attach the
scanner using the three mounting holes provided in the main PCBA.
on page 25 has mechanical drawings of the scan-
ner, including the position of the mounting features.
The scanner can be mounted upside down with no loss in scanning per-
formance.
