Scan Patterns
There are several different scan patterns to choose from to provide optimized scanning for your
application needs. Depending on which model you have, the MiniScan scanner can emit one of seven
laser patterns:
1. Omni-Directional (Cyclone) Scan Pattern: (MS-320x, MS-220x)
The “Cyclone” pattern is a high speed rotating omni-directional scan pattern that provides very
aggressive performance on 1D bar codes because there are virtually no “holes” in the pattern. This
ensures fast throughput at the point of activity. Additionally, the ability to read 1D symbols in 360° of
rotation eliminates the need to orient the bar code in the field of view.
2. Slab Raster: (MS-22xx, MS-32xx)
The single scan line appears as a “mini” raster and scans multiple areas of 1D codes to swiftly and
accurately capture data on poorly printed and damaged bar codes. This feature is suitable for many
1D bar code applications where the scan line position is critical. This mode may be optimal for many
OEM applications that use embedded scanners, conveyer belts, test equipment, fluid analyzers, etc.
The single line is ideal for 1D bar codes only.
3. True Single Scan Line: (MS-120x, MS-954)
4. Semi-omni-directional Scan Pattern: (MS-220x, MS320x)
The semi-omni-directional scan pattern is a combination of the omni-directional and raster scan
patterns. This unique pattern is specifically designed for aggressive performance on extremely
truncated 1D bar codes. The bar code must be presented horizontally with no more than 20° tilt.
