3.3 MOUNTING SCANNER ACCESSORIES
3.3.1 Mounting a GFC-40 Accessory Deflection Mirror
The GFC-40 is a 105° deflection reading mirror accessory that mounts directly to the DS5100
Scanner. It allows code reading in reduced space applications.
The installation of the deflection mirror is very easy.
1. Make sure the device is not powered.
2. Remove the original 0° scanning window
from the scanner by unscrewing the two
captive cover screws.

CAUTION: Avoid any contact with the deflection mirror, mirrored rotor, the
lenses or other optical components; otherwise the performance of the reader
will be reduced. Clean the deflection mirror surface and reading window with
a clean soft cloth and alcohol before closing the scanner.
3. Check that the seal is correctly
positioned (not symmetrical - curved
seal corners towards scanner lower
edge) and then after having aligned the
GFC-40 onto the scanner, fix it with the
two captive screws.
