60 FC300 Getting Started Guide
Proprietary and Confidential
Imager
The FC300 has an optional embedded imager. The imager can only
be used from within an Itron application which supports an imager,
such as Endpoint-Link. For details on using the imager within an
Itron software application, see the documentation for that software
application.
The imager has two functions:
• Monochrome image capture
• Built-in imager for linear and 2D (two dimensional) barcode
scanning
Warning The imager uses laser light.
• Do not look into the laser's lens.
• Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
• Do not remove the laser caution labels from the
FC300.
• Do not connect the laser barcode aperture to any
other device. The laser barcode aperture is certified
for use with the FC300 only.
• Avoid exposure; laser radiation is emitted from the
imager aperture.
• Laser radiation is possible when open. Please read
the caution labels. Use of controls, adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
