MATRIX 300™ QUICK GUIDE

STEP 3 – AIM AND AUTOFOCUS THE READER

(Liquid Lens Models only)

Matrix 300™ provides a built-in laser pointer aiming system to aid reader positioning. For Liquid Lens models the autofocus feature is also

incorporated into this function. The aiming system is accessed through the X-PRESS™ Interface.

1. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink

for one second. On the reverse side of the reader near the bracket, the “POWER ON” LED

(blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.

2. Place the Grade A Barcode Test Chart in front of the reader at the correct reading

distance for your application. See the Reading Diagrams in the Appendix of this Quick

Reference Guide or in the Reference Manual.

3. Enter the Aim/Autofocus function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button

until the Aim LED is on.

Aim/Autofocus Function

4. Release the button to enter the Aim function. The laser pointers turn on, and the Autofocus

procedure begins, see Figure 4. The Aim LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

Within 3 seconds (before the reader flashes), center one of the larger codes on the

aiming system pointers (the code must not move during this procedure).

The Autofocus procedure ends when the Reading Distance and PPI values are successfully

saved in the reader memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and Matrix 300™ emits 3 high

pitched beeps.

If the Autofocus cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 300™ will

exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and in this case

Matrix 300™ emits a long low pitched beep.

You can exit the Aim/Autofocus function at any time by pressing the X-PRESS™ push

button once. After a short delay the autofocus procedure is cancelled and the laser

pointers turn off.
