Introduction and Getting Started

Product Overview

The LMD 1135 Fixed Position Scanner is a miniature, 100 scan per second, laser bar code reader designed to be easily incorporated into host equipment. The small physical size makes the scanner easy to integrate into any hardware design. Durability and reliability are assured.

Advanced microprocessor technology coupled with Opticon’s proven decoding algorithms result in high speed operation with superior accuracy. The scanner is fully programmable allowing the user to customize parameters including changing communication settings, selecting symbologies, adding prefixes and appending suffixes. Programmable settings can be downloaded from the host CPU or computer directly to the scanner.

The scanner is encased in a compact, rugged, yet lightweight-plastic enclosure. The compact size permits installation in the tightest areas allowing great flexibility in mounting and positioning the scanner for optimum performance.

Quick Start-Up Procedure

This section is for those who wish to start using the scanner before reading the complete manual. In only a few steps the scanner will be operable.

Turn off the power to your PC and connect the scanner to an RS232 communications port. Note: You must provide +5 Volt DC power to the scanner. If you are using our standard LPN1137RR1S-050 or have purchased the evaluation kit, you can utilize power supply, P/N 32-00907-01, by plugging its connector directly into the pigtail connector on the scanner. If the power supply is obtained from another source verify that it is identified with the CE mark. Turn on the power to the PC.

1)Using communications software (e.g., Procom), set the communication parameters: 9600 baud, 1 Start/Stop Bit, 8 Data Bits, No Parity, No Handshaking, No Flow Control

2)If you are operating in a Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment, skip to Step 5.

3)If you are operating in a Microsoft Windows 95/98/ 2000/ XP environment, you can set the communication parameters using Hyper Terminal as follows:

♦ In the Com 1 Properties screen, enter the appropriate Port Settings: Bits per second = 9600, Data bits = 8, Parity = None, Stop Character = 1, Handshaking = None, Click OK

♦ The hyper-terminal folder you just created will open. From the File pull-down menu, select Properties then click on the Setting Tab
