Installation Instructions

Set the Focus
The reader is factory-calibrated at three focus positions (45 mm, 70 mm, and 125 mm for WVGA models; 45 mm, 80 mm, and 125 mm for 1.2 MP models). The focus range is continuous to provide fine-tuning for your application. This means you can select a focus position different than these three positions.

1. Determine the focus position needed for your application. The following tables show the reading ranges at the three focus positions for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) 10 mil resolution codes.
   Table 2: WVGA Models Focus Position (mm)| Horizontal Field of View| Reading Range (Depth of Field)
   ---|---|---
   1D| 2D
   45| 38 mm (1.5 in)| 30 mm to 80 mm (1.2 into 3.1 in)| 25 mm to 70 mm (1.0 into 2.8 in)
   70| 56 mm (2.2 in)| 60 mm to 125 mm ( 2.4 into 4.9 in)| 45 mm to 100 mm (1.8 into 3.9 in)
   125| 95 mm (3.7 in)| 95 mm to 155 mm ( 3.7 into 6.1 in)| 65 mm to 120 mm (2.6 into 4.7 in)

Table 3: 1.2 MP Models

Focus Position (mm) Horizontal Field of View| Reading Range (Depth of Field)
---|---
1D| 2D
45| 52 mm (2.0 in)| 25 mm to 90 mm (1.0 into 3.5 in)| 30 mm to 65 mm (1.2 into 2.6 in)
80| 86 mm (3.4 in)| 65 mm to 145 mm (2.6 into 5.7 in)| 55 mm to 105 mm (2.2 into 4.1 in)
125| 130 mm (5.1 in)| 105 mm to 180 mm (4.1 into 7.1 in)| 80 mm to 125 mm (3.1 into 4.9 in)
2. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, rotate the focus ring at the back of the reader to one of the three pre-calibrated distances or to the desired distance according to your application.

CAUTION: Do not rotate the focus ring beyond the focus scale limits; damage to the focus mechanism can occur.
