General remarks
As a general rule, keep your application simple and consistent.
Wait until you have tested your setup before you install the MaxiScan 3300
permanently.
environment
•
make sure that your operating environment is suitable for your
MaxiScan 3300 model—refer to the product specifications in
Appendix A
cables and connections
•
remember to take into account the length of the operating
cables and power supply cable when you set up your
MaxiScan 3300
optional adjustable stand
•
using the adjustable stand is more flexible than fixing the
MaxiScan 3300 directly to the work surface—refer to the
product specifications in Appendix A
I/O synchronization
•
external input synchronization devices can be used to activate
the MaxiScan 3300—they ensure longer life for the motors and
laser diode and allow you to detect unsuccessful read attempts
•
the MaxiScan 3300 can also send a synchronization output to
control external devices according to the read result
•
refer to Appendix E if your application uses external
synchronization devices
symbologies
•
use standard symbologies best suited to your application—
some symbologies (Interleaved 2 of 5 for example) are less
reliable than others
•
try to use as few symbologies as possible
•
fixed barcode lengths and check digits increase reading
efficiency and security
specular reflection
•
slightly skew the scanner or labels to avoid 90° specular
reflection (label exactly perpendicular to scanner) in any part of
the scan
