Datalogic Scanning 1100I OEM User Manual

Mounting the Scanner 

The mounting design should also take into consideration the clearances needed for the 
interface cable. This cable should be routed internal to the host enclosure as much as 
possible. It is recommended to use a flat cable or round cable without a large strain relief 
so that the cable can be routed away from the scanner in one of the following directions. 
As shown in 

, the interface cable can be routed out the rear or bottom sur­

faces of the scanner. 

Rear Cable Routing 

Bottom Cable Routing 

When mounting the scanner inside a secondary enclosure, it is important to have 
proper ventilation to ensure that the scanner termperature does not exceed the maxi­
mum range as listed in 

. The reliability of the 

scanner may be compromised if the temperature range is not maintained. 

When deciding how to mount the OEM scanner, there are many criteria that must be 
considered. First, there are minimum and maximum distances that the bar code can be 
from the front of the scanner to be properly read, depending on the size of the bar code. 
These distances, or depth of field, are specified in 

Note that the depth of field begins 13mm [0.5"] from the front of the scanner.  This 
means that bar codes may not be read if they are within the range of 0-13mm [0-0.5"] 
from the front of the scanner. To ensure that a bar code can not be placed too close to 
the scanner, it is recommended that the scanner is mounted at least 13mm [0.5"] from 
the outer surface of the host enclosure, to ensure that bar codes will be within the scan 
volume.
