9. Which MiniScan is best suited for badly printed or low contrast 1D bar codes?
The MS-1204FZY’s decoder is based on Fuzzy Logic and can handle poorly printed and even
damaged bar codes. This product offers the highest decode performance available. If size is an
issue, then the MS-954 offers fuzzy-like performance in the smallest-sized MiniScan housing.
10. In which applications and vertical markets are Direct Parts Marked (DPM) bar codes
found?
DPM bar codes were designed to survive the rigors of the manufacturing vertical market where
bar codes must endure various chemicals, large temperature ranges, and severe wear. By
etching the code upon metal parts, even engines can be permanently marked and read. In the
Healthcare markets, instruments can be coded knowing that these will survive the cleaning
processes like autoclaves and harsh antiseptic cleaning agents. However, DPM can be
implemented using other techniques. Chemical etching and dot peening bar codes into surfaces
allows bar codes to survive these harsh environments.
11. Which MiniScan is best for capturing these DPM codes?
The MS-440xDPM is designed to capture these and all other standard codes. It has been
designed to accept plastic parts with injection molded bar codes and metal parts with peened
Datamatrix codes. Additionally, its two-positioned focus can be set for 5inch (125mm) focus,
ideal for capturing paper bar codes. This gives the user the versatility of multiple applications in
the point of capture.
12. What accessories are available for MiniScan?

• Fixed mount stand

13. Do the MiniScan products comply with agency approvals for RoHS and WEEE
