Linear Scanner Option

92-2435-01 Rev.C

Overview

With the H-Class Linear Scanner option and menu-selectable functions that include voiding and

replacement generation, labels can be interrogated at up to 700 times per second to ensure that correct,

readable symbologies have been printed.

Use the sections of this document to find needed information. As a starting point, if your Linear Scanner

arrived factory-installed, see “Controls and Features, Performance, and Configuration” to begin use;

otherwise, proceed to “Installation.”

Installation

If installing the kit, verify the experience level of the installer, the package contents, and the tools needed

before following the steps below.

CAUTION

Only qualified service personnel should perform this installation. For your safety and to

avoid printer damage, always turn OFF the power switch and unplug the AC power cord

before this installation and whenever performing service.

CAUTION

The Pivot Mount should never be over-extended. The use of controls, adjustments, or

procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous LED light exposure.

Class 1 LED power up to 15 mW in a 0.1 ms pulse at 635-670 nm could be accessible in

the interior of the Linear Scanner.

Performance Considerations

Printing with the scanner is a seamless operation; however, consider some important factors that can

affect performance:

Integrity and Speed

If the primary objective is to ensure that correct data is read over a significant region of the

symbology, maximize integrity by (1) increasing the REDUNDANCY LEVEL or the MIN

READABLE HEIGHT setting, (2) slowing the print speed, and (3) increasing the bar code height.

When emphasizing data accuracy, the allowable maximum throughput rate may be affected.

If the primary objective is to achieve the highest label throughput rate, maximize speed by (1)

decreasing the REDUNDANCY LEVEL or the MIN READABLE HEIGHT setting, and (2)

increasing the print speed. When emphasizing throughput, data reliability may be affected.

Media and Ribbon Selection

For best results use carbon-based inks on matte-finished label stocks to achieve a high print contrast.

Label Layout

For proper recognition, the Linear Scanner must be positioned over the bar codes, and the codes

used and the label layout must meet certain requirements:

The bar codes must be placed in the picket fence orientation, with proper quiet zones, and a

narrow bar resolution that is no less than the scan resolution position.

If encoding the same information in multiple-up bar codes arranged in ordered columns (see

below), allow at least ¼ inch of white space between the rows.

104 104 104

1/4 inch (6.5 mm)

Row

Column

Direction

When printing bar codes on small labels, avoid the possible need for backup repositioning by

placing the code(s) near the leading edge of the label.

Although a reduction of print speed may actually improve throughput, to maintain proper

detection when printing small bar codes at high speeds the following parameters should not be

exceeded:

Minimum Bar Code Height Maximum Print Speed (IPS)*

1/16 inch (1.5 mm) 8

1/8 inch (3 mm) 10

* Inches per Second

Configuration

A printer equipped with the Linear Scanner arrives with these default settings:
