The following note boxes are displayed throughout this manual to indicate safety
concerns and/or warnings.
This note box is used to provide precautions and/or guidelines, warning the user
that personal injury or damage to the unit may occur during the task they are
performing.
This note box is used to alert the user they are about to perform an action
involving a dangerous level of voltage, or to warn against an action that could
cause electrical shock.
Measures must be taken to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) at all times
when the cover is off the unit. Circuit Boards are at the most risk. See Safety
Recommendations and Precautions - Electrostatic Discharge.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Please follow these precautions:
VI
Do not cut or remove the round grounding prong from the plug under any
circumstances.
Do not use an extension cord to defeat the ground.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), the transfer of static electricity from one object to
another, is an often-unnoticeable hazard to electronic components. Boards and
other devices with integrated circuits are particularly sensitive to ESD damage.
Product failures may not occur until days or weeks after the component was
damaged.
Static damage to components can take the form of upset failures or catastrophic
failures (direct and latent).
An upset failure occurs when an electrostatic discharge is not significant enough
to cause total failure, but may result in intermittent gate leakage, causing loss of
software or incorrect storage of information.
Direct catastrophic failures occur when a component is damaged to the point
where it is permanently damaged.
The following note box is displayed where ESD precautions must be followed:
Measures must be taken to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) at all times
when the cover is off the unit. Circuit Boards are at the most risk. See Safety
Recommendations and Precautions - Electrostatic Discharge.
Below are some keys to effectively control unnecessary ESD damage. When
working with ESD-sensitive devices:
Define an ESD protective area and work on the ESD-sensitive devices in this
area only;
Define the sensitivity of devices to be handled in the ESD protective area;
Establish a suitable static control program that both limits static generation to
less than the damage threshold of the most sensitive device in the
environment, and provides a safe, defined path for the dissipation of static
charges;
Prevent contamination of the protective area by unnecessary non-static
controlled materials; and
Audit the ESD protective area regularly to ensure that static control is
maintained. Document the findings for future reference.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the Accu-Sort Model 24 and Mini-X Series II scanning
systems and how they read bar codes.
Accu-Sort Systems
1-3
Dynamic Raster
High density scanning
Two and three zone focusing
Custom applications
DRX technology
Both scanners are configurable via software to use Accu-Sorts patented DRX
Technology. DRX allows the scanners to read bar codes many other scanners
can not. The way this is achieved, DRX uses partial scans and reconstructs the
bar code data with 100% accuracy.
Additional software (TachTrac) has been designed to provide the ability for two
or more boxes to be scanned within the scanners read zone at one time. This
capability allows greater throughput by decreasing the space required between
boxes. A tachometer is required to synchronize the conveyor belt travel with the
scanner, which helps the system track boxes and assign bar codes to the
associated packages.

Accu-Sort offers three different mounting kits for the Model 24 Series II, as the
remainder of this section shows.
2-10
This kit simply consists of two drop-in nuts, along with bolts and washers, for
mounting the Model 24 Series II to a customer-designed bracket. The 5/8" bolts
provided in the kit, when used with the flat and lock washers, provide the proper
engagement depth into the drop-in nuts for bracket thicknesses of 1/8" to 3/16".
Screw engagement depth should be between 0.3 (0.76 cm) and 0.4 (1.02 cm)
for secure mounting. See the drawing below:
You can use any type of
fasteners with the bracket, as
long as they are compatible
with the mounting surface.

MINI-X SERIES II
When you mount your Mini-X Series II, you must make sure there is enough
clearance around the unit. This will ensure that connections to other equipment
can be made, packages can pass by without hitting any equipment, access panels
can be removed, and heat will dissipate, keeping the scanner cool. The minimum
clearance requirements of the Mini-X Series II are as follows:
Top:
Back:
Sides:
Front:
You must mount the Mini-X Series II with the connector panel facing the flow of
the conveyor. See page for a drawing showing mounting orientation.
The tables below list standard system dimension measurements and their
descriptions. Each description of the dimension is assigned a corresponding

ACCESSORIES
Photoeyes
This section describes how to mount your photoeyes to their mounting brackets.
Photoeyes work by bouncing a light beam off a reflector and detecting when
something breaks the path of light. In order for your photoeyes to work properly,
you must make sure the following things are done:
The photoeye must have a reflector mounted directly opposite it on the other
side of the conveyor.
Except when using angled zone photoeyes, the following must be done:

The tachometer (tach) is a wheel that outputs a set number of pulses for each
rotation it makes. This tells the computer the precise conveyor speed, allowing it
to determine the exact position of a package. A tachometer is necessary in
systems with the TachTrac option. Tracking allows for multiple boxes to be
under the scan window at the same time. Bar codes on each box are decoded and
assigned to the correct box. Because the exact layout of many conveyors is
unique, it is impossible to give you exact directions for mounting your
tachometer. Follow the guidelines below as closely as possible when mounting.

The Model 24 and Mini-X Series II scanners are capable of reading eight
different bar codes simultaneously. The code types can be chosen from the
following table:
Interleaved 2 of 5
fixed or variable length
Code 39
fixed or variable length
Code 93
fixed or variable length
Code 128
fixed or variable length
Codabar
fixed or variable length
More commonly called I 2 of 5, this numeric only bar code was developed in the
early 1970's. Because of its high code densities, I 2 of 5 is most often found in
distribution applications. Due to the limited amount of characters I 2 of 5 can use,
and the simple structure of the start and stop characters, even partial scans can
result in valid reads. If I 2 of 5 is chosen for your application, Accu-Sort
recommends that the Model 24 is programmed to a fixed length in all scanning
applications.
Code 39, or Code 3 of 9, was the first bar code developed that used both numbers
and uppercase letters. It is the most recognized and widely used for non-retail
applications. Each character is represented by a stand-alone group of 5 bars and 4
spaces. The basic code set includes 0-9, A-Z, * which is used for the start and stop
characters, and six other symbols - . $ / + and % for a total of 43 characters.
Because each of the characters are discrete and self-checking, Code 39 provides a
high level of data security. The Model 24 automatically checks all data for this
symbology. The Model 24 also recognizes two other forms of the Code 39
symbology called EDP and STK.
Derives its name from the fact that every character is constructed from nine
elements arranged into three bars with their adjacent spaces. This is similar to the
UPC symbol (widely used in the grocery industry). This symbol also includes two
powerful check digits that minimize the possibility of reader substitution errors due
to printing defects.
Code 128 is a continuous code made up of 3 bars and 3 spaces for each
character. The Uniform Code Council and the International Article Numbering
Association have developed standards for the use of bar codes in the global
distribution of retail, industrial, commercial, pharmaceutical, meat and other
products using Code 128 as an application identifier. Since the nature of Code 128
is such that each character depends on the characters before and after it for code
structure, a check digit is incorporated in the bar code. The check digit, which is
automatically checked by the Model 24, provides a high level of data security.
Widely used in libraries, photo-finishing systems, and blood bank applications,
Codabar uses numbers along with 6 special characters. Four different
combinations of start and stop characters can be used to mean specific things for
each application. The Model 24 can be programmed to either transmit or suppress

APPLICATIONS
This section describes and gives examples of various applications that can be
setup to use the Model 24 and Mini-X Series II scanning systems.
To get started, first install the included Medium Scanner Setup software. Next,
make all the necessary connections between the scanner and any external
equipment. Use the Connector Locations section in Chapter 2 of this manual to
aid in connecting any equipment to its proper connection on the scanner. When
making connections to the scanner, use Com 3 of the scanner as the default
communications port for running the Medium Scanner Setup software. The
communications port of the machine running Medium Scanner Setup software
should be configured as follows:
57600 bps
7 bits
Even parity
2 stop bits
To see the results of any of the examples, a dumb terminal needs to be connected
to Com 1 of the scanner. Setup the communications port of the dumb terminal as
follows:
9600 bps
7 bits
Even parity
2 stop bits
Once all needed connections have been made, and the selection of photoeyes, the
reading of barcodes can begin.
USING PHOTOEYES
Photoeyes work by bouncing a light beam off a reflector and detecting when
something breaks the path of light. In order for photoeye to work properly, you
must make sure the following things are done:
1. The photoeye must have a reflector mounted directly opposite it on the
other side of the conveyor.
2. The photoeye must be mounted so the light exit window is perpendicular to
the conveyor, facing the reflector.
3. The reflector must be mounted perpendicular to the conveyor, facing the
photoeye.
All examples use one of two different configurations for the scanners triggered
input. When using a Model 24 II, typically one photoeye is used to for triggering
the scanner. However, in the case of the Mini-X Series II, the scanner is
configured to use two photoeyes. When either unit is configured for tracking,
typically a single photoeye is used. To setup the scanner to use one or two
photoeyes, two interface configuration files have been provided to assist in
setting up the scanner. To accesses these files, run the Medium Scanner Setup
software, connect to the scanner, click the Modify Configuration tab, click the
Interface button and from the bottom click the Retrieve from Disk button. Double
click the samples folder, select either pe_single.ifb for one photoeye or
pe_dual.ifb for two photoeyes, and click the Retrieve button. To use, click the
Send to Scanner and Save button.

For a single photoeye setup, the below illustration shows a typical setup of a
Model 24 Series II using a single photoeye.
A photoeye is installed in line with scan line. As the leading edge of the item to
be scanned breaks the plain of the photoeye, the scanner begins looking for
code(s) to be scanned. As trailing edge clears the plain of the photoeye, the
scanner transmits found code(s).

There are four output terminal blocks from the relay box to the control outputs TB1, TB2, TB3, and TB4. TB1 through TB4 are 3 pin terminals that can be used
as relay outputs or solid-state inputs. Various jumper configurations allow for
different combinations of AC/DC inputs and outputs. The shaded areas in the
diagram below illustrate the locations of the relays and the terminal blocks on the
board. The relays are the four long blocks marked M1, M2, M3, and M4. The
terminal blocks are marked TB1, TB2, TB3, and TB4 and are located under the
relays. You can select the style by plugging the relay into M1, M2, M3, or M4.
The control outputs are wired to the box by running wire through the three holes
in the side of the box called punch-outs. These holes have watertight strain reliefs
in them. You can wire up to four outputs through the strain reliefs to the relays.

MASTER/SLAVE CONFIGURATION
This application describes how to setup the Model 24 or Mini-X Series II
scanners for master/slave operation.
Master/Slave Operation
To obtain great conveyer belt coverage or to have the tach and trigger passed
without the use of a tach trigger or "Y" cable, the Model 24 or Mini-X can be
configured for master/slave operation. Via J3 on the scanners, two scanners can
be daisy chained together using cable part number 1000020593. With this cable,
upon power-up, the scanner will detect the cables presence and automatically
configure the scanner software for operation as a master or a slave scanner.
Example: If the cable is detected on port 1, the software configures the scanner as
a slave. If the cable is detected on port 2, the software configures the scanner as
a master. If the cable is detected on both ports 1 and 2, the software configures
the scanner as both master and slave, assuming the scanner with two cables is in
the middle of a chain configuration.
The auto-detection feature can be enabled/disable as needed. To enable/disable
the auto-detect feature, do the following:
1. In the Accu-Sort Medium Scanner setup software, click on the Modify
Configuration tab.
2. From the Modify Configuration tab, click on the Scanner button.
3. From the Modify Logic Setup screen, click on the Communications tab. The
following screen will appear.

NOTE: This representation shows one master and six slaves. You can ultimately
have up to 32 slaves for each serial port on the master (depending on the line
length and required response time).
The remainder of this section defines the message formats and timing
requirements for the protocol used on RS485 multidrop (2-wire) communications
lines. The protocol is defined for both the master device and the slave
devices. This protocol is defined for a one-master system only. The following
definitions may help you understand this protocol a little better.
ASCII digit: This means the ASCII code for a single decimal digit. For example,
30h is the ASCII digit that encodes a zero.
HEX digit: This means the ASCII code for a single hexadecimal digit. Some
examples are, 35h is the code for a five, 42h is the code for a "B" (which equals
A-4
11 base 10), the hexadecimal number "5A" would be encoded by the two HEX
digits 35h and 41h.

No data
The master unit initiates all data transfers by either sending data to a slave or
requesting data from a slave. This protocol is strictly half duplex; only one device
may be transmitting at any time. A slave device should not transmit unless it
receives a valid message that requires a response-- when it does receive such a
message, it must respond quickly (See Timing). The master unit should respond
in a timely manner, but is not under the same constraints as a slave. The
following is the example of processing a Master/Slave interaction:

A-6
If a slave unit is going to respond to a poll from the master, it must start its
response within two character times of the end of the carriage return at the end of
the poll.
NOTE: This makes the response time dependent upon the baud rate.
The slave must turn on its transmitter within two character times after receiving
the CR of the masters poll. The slave must place the STX at the beginning of its
response, into its serial port no later than three character times after receipt of the
masters carriage return.
Once the slave begins transmitting, it must not allow a gap of more than one half
a character time between characters. Most transmissions will take place under
interrupt, so this should not be a problem; however, it means that serial port
interrupts may not be disabled for an extended period of time during data
transmission.

Typically, the RTS line is used to control the transmitter. In this diagram,
RTS is high when the transmitter is enabled and low when the transmitter is
disabled (tri-stated).

Both the master and the slave must disable their transmitter as soon as possible
after transmitting the carriage return at the end of the message. The transmitter
must remain enabled while the carriage return is being sent out, however. This
means that the transmitting device must wait for a transmitter empty (as
opposed to a transmitter ready) indication from the serial port before disabling
the transmitter.

A-7
This protocol has been designed for a "slow" master to communicate with a
"fast" slave. The only time-critical item for the master is for the master to release
control of the line immediately after sending a message to a slave. While the
slave must respond within a very short time window, there are not such
constraints on the master. The master may have any amount of time between
messages or between characters within its message.
Error Recovery
A-8
The sequence number zero is a special case, since it indicates that the data
message is the first data message sent since the device sending it has powered up.
Messages with a sequence number of zero should always be processed as
required, regardless of whether or not they are repeated back to back.
3. Any message that contains parity errors, LRC errors or an unrecognized
message type should be discarded. No acknowledgment should be sent. In
some systems, the master will keep track of these transmission errors.
4. Any message that contains a correct LRC, has no errors, is of a correct
type, and requires an acknowledgment should be acknowledged even if its
sequence number indicates that it is a duplicate message (the sequence
number is the same as the last message). If it is a duplicate message, it should
be acknowledged then discarded. In some systems, the master will keep track of
these duplicate message errors since they would indicate that an acknowledgment
had been lost. A broadcast message (one sent to unit 00) must not be
acknowledged.

redundancy check and appears on all messages.

This protocol stands for "Request To Send" and "Clear To Send". This is
a common type of "handshaking" that goes on between two units.
When one device wants to transmit to another device, it will drive the
RTS line indicating it has data to transmit. When the receiving device is
ready to receive, it will drive the CTS line indicating it is ready. When
you use RTS/CTS it requires the addition of two more wires on the
communication cable. If they are not needed then it is advised not to
use any other additional lines in the cable.
ACK/NAK
This is a software protocol. When a unit receives a message, it indicates
whether it has received that message correctly. If all information is
received, the unit will transmit an "ACK" (acknowledge). The ACK is a
signal that more information may be transmitted. If the information is
not received correctly, then it will transmit a "NAK" (non-acknowledge).
The NAK is a signal requesting a message be retransmitted. Most
software has a limit to the number of retransmits. Three NAKS is
common.
XON/XOFF
This is a software protocol. XON stands for "transmit on" and XOFF
stands for "transmit off." A unit receiving data may signal the unit
transmitting that it should stop sending data by transmitting and XOFF
(ctrl-S). An XON (ctrl-Q) signals the original unit to begin transmitting
again.

A maximum theoretical FOV is the absolute maximum scan
line length assuming sufficient uniform illumination along
the whole scan line. Effective FOV is the useful length of
the scan line as limited by the illumination and/or the
camera. (For example: At a throw of 60, a camera may
have a maximum theoretical FOV of 24 but the
illumination may only cover a 20 FOV, so the effective

X-ON/X-OFF Protocol
A common type of flow control is the X-ON/X-OFF
protocol. When a receive buffer nears its memory capacity,
the receiving device sends an ASCII X-OFF signal to the
transmitting device, telling it to stop sending data. When
the memory buffer has enough space to handle more data,
the X-ON signal is sent to the transmitting device, telling it
to start sending data again.
Signal
ACK/NAK Protocol
Another common protocol is ACK/NAK protocol. When
the device transmits a message to the host, the host
responds with either an ACK (06H) or a NAK (15H). If the
host transmits an ACK to the device, the device deletes its
transmit message and the communication sequence is
complete. If the host transmits a NAK, the device will
retransmit. The device resends data a maximum of three
times. Optionally this may be changed to 1, 2, 3, or infinite
retransmits by the user. If the device receives a fourth
NAK, it will delete the data in its transmit buffer and
display MAX REXMITS.
A transmitting device ignores ACK and NAK characters
received during data transmission. If, for example, a device
receives a NAK during a data transmission, it will not
resend the data at the completion of the transmission.
The device also has a retransmit timer. This timer is
activated each time the device transmits data to the host. If
the timer runs for two seconds (this is also changeable) and
the device does not receive an ACK or NAK from the host,
a timeout occurs and the device retransmits its data. Each
time the device retransmits because of a timeout, it treats
the timeout the same as receiving a NAK from the host
computer. If the device does not receive an ACK before the
end of the fourth timeout, it will delete the data in its
transmit buffer and display MAX REXMITS. The device
deletes data in its transmit buffer and displays the error
message when any combination of four timeouts and NAKs
from the host occurs.
When the device receives a message from the host, it
calculates the BCC for the message and compares the
calculated BCC to the received BCC. If the two values
match, the device transmits an ACK, ending the
communication. If the values do not match, the device
transmits a NAK to the host and waits for the host to
retransmit the message. The host, like the device, should
retransmit a maximum of three times.
The sequence number starts at zero (30H) and is
incremented each time a device transmits a new message.
When the sequence number reaches nine (39H), it wraps
around to one (31H). If the sequence number skips a
number, the receiving device knows that a message was
lost. If the same sequence number is received on two
sequential messages, the second message is responded to
with an ACK or NAK (as appropriate) and ignored.

Codabar
Self-checking, numeric bar code encoding numbers and
several characters (e.g.: $, -, +, ?) with a slightly higher
density than Code 39. Includes two bar/space sizes.
Code 39
A bar code with a full alphanumeric character set, a unique
start and stop character, and three other characters. The
name is derived from its code structure, which is three wide
elements out of a total of nine elements. The nine elements
consist of five bars and four spaces.
Code 93
Similar to Code 39 but requires two check characters. Code
93 was designed to provide a higher density symbology
with higher security than Code 39. Although code 93 is a
higher density, it is not self-checking and therefore requires
two checksums.
Code 128
A bar code symbology capable of encoding the full ASCII
128 character set. It encodes these characters using fewer

Data Matrix
2D (two-dimensional) symbology. Two distinct characteristics make it easy to identify: 1) a solid line along two
adjacent sides, accompanied by 2) a pattern of alternating
squares on the opposite sides. In the most common version
of the symbol (known as ECC200), the alternating square
side 'corner' is always a space.
EAN
European Article Numbering System used in retail industry
(a superset of UPC) used on product packaging to uniquely

Interleaved 2 of 5 (I 2of5)
A bar code with a numeric character set with different start
and stop characters. The name is derived from the method
used to encode two characters. In the symbol, two
characters are paired together using bars to represent the
first character and the spaces to represent the second. This
interleaved structure allows information to be encoded in
both the bars and the spaces. A start character, bar and
space arrangement, at one end, and a different stop
character bar and space arrangement at the other end,
provide for bidirectional decoding of this symbol.
MaxiCode
2D (two-dimensional) symbology developed by the United

PDF417
2D (two-dimensional) symbology developed by Symbol
Technologies. Appears like multiple linear codes stacked
one on top of the other. As a result of being based on linear
