4–3 Installing the Scanner
Before installing the scanner, review the following:
•
Determine optimum position of the scanner relative to the bar
code labels to be read. Refer to Chapter 3 for positioning
information.
•
Allow adequate clearance at back of scanner for cables. See
Figure 4.1.
•
Securely mount scanner to a rigid surface to ensure proper
operation of the scanner.
Note: If using the mounting bracket, refer to the next page.
The thickness of the mounting surface determines the length of the
#10-32 screws required. Select a screw length no greater than the
thickness of the mounting surface plus the thickness of the washers
plus
#@8 inches (9.5 mm ).
Note: The 3 screws supplied with the scanner may not be suitable
for all applications. Add washers or use longer screws as required.
!
ATTENTION: Do not use screws that extend more
than
3
/8
inch (9.5 mm) into the scanner. Screws which
extend more than 3 /
8
inch (9.5 mm) beyond the
mounting surface may
damage the threads.
