MaxiScan 1000 - Integration Guide
Integration considerations
Environment
Protect the M1000 from dust and humidity and make
sure your operating environment is suitable (see the
Technical characteristics
section)
Reading distance
High-density bar codes require a shorter reading
distance than low-density bar codes. Reading distance is
less critical for medium density bar codes (see the
Reading distance
section)
Setup
Test the setup before you install the M1000 permanently
Symbologies
•
Use standard symbologies best suited to your
application—some symbologies (Interleaved 2 of 5
for example) are less reliable than others
•
Use as few symbologies as possible
•
Fixed barcode lengths and check digits increase
reading efficiency and security
I/O synchronization
•
An external input synchronization device can be
used to activate the M1000
•
The M1000 can send a synchronization output to
control external devices according to the read result
•
See the
Input/output synchronization
section
