8.2 USB Interface
The NLV-5201 can use either USB interface:
· Human Interface Device Class (HID) · Communication Device Class (COM)
The COM interface allows bidirectional serial communication, which supports transmitting commands from the host computer to the imager scanner, as well as receiving barcode data. To use USB-COM, you need to install the latest version of the Opticon USB-COM driver on your host device.
If the host COM post is not open, the imager scanner cannot send data and will emit an error sound.
Note: With the USB-COM interface, the imager scanner can transfer images.

9.2 Aiming Pattern
Aiming indicates the appropriate reading distance by projecting a bar of green LED light:
· The optical axis of the imaging field of view and the center of the horizontal aiming bar coincide at a distance of L=148±20 mm from the front edge of the imager scanner.
· The width of the aiming bar at a distance of L=148 mm is 90%±10% of the width of the horizontal field of view.
· The sharpest aiming bar distance is 113 ± 10 mm (SR models), 63 ± 10 mm (HD models), or 43 ± 10 mm (UD models).

10.2 Scan Area and Depth of Field
The scan area is measured from the front edge of the imager scanner. The depth of field depends on the view angle and symbol length. Depth of field values provided are the typical values measured by tilting the test chart 15° from the optical axis. The focal point of the camera, and therefore the depth of field, is different for the SR, HD, and UD models. This section describes the depths of field for all three models. 10.2.1 Scan Area and Depth of Field for SR Models

15 Precautions
Caution: Make sure you understand these precautions before you install and use the imager scanner. Incorrect handling may cause the imager scanner to malfunction, overheat, create smoke, catch fire, create an electric shock, or cause injury. General Cautions
· Do not disassemble this product. · Do not stare into the LED light from the scan window. The LED may damage your eyes. · Do not expose this product to edible or industrial fat and chemicals. · Do not let children use this product. · Be aware that this product may be affected by a momentary voltage fluctuation caused
by lightning. Electrical Handling
· If the product is faulty or stops working, unplug the cable and contact the dealer. Failure to unplug the cable may cause the product to malfunction, overheat, create smoke, or catch fire.
· Do not use this product at a voltage outside the specified range. The product may overheat, create smoke, or catch fire.
· For the RS-232C model, do not plug or unplug the connectors while power is supplied. · Read the specification manual carefully and make sure you correctly connect the cable. Excessive Shock or Stress · Do not drop this product. · Do not push or place this product under or between heavy items. · Do not swing the product by the cable. This action may damage the product or cause
injury.

NLV-5201 Specifications Manual
Cable Handling · If the cable sheath breaks or becomes damaged, the core wire may be exposed or break. The wire may also become exposed if there is damage at the base of the cable. If any of these conditions occur, unplug the cable and contact the dealer. Using the product with exposed or broken wires may cause the product to malfunction, overheat, create smoke, or catch fire. · Do not wrap the cable around a host device, such as a PC. This action may damage the cable sheath and the core wire which may cause the product to malfunction, overheat, create smoke, or catch fire. · Do not place the cable under or between heavy items. · Do not bend the cable at extremely low temperatures.
Operating Environment · Do not use this product at temperatures outside the specified range. · Do not use this product near combustible materials (such as gas or gunpowder). · Do not immerse this product in water or any other liquid. · If condensation forms on the product, do not use the product. The product may malfunction. Wait until the moisture has evaporated. · Do not store this product in dusty environments or in extremely high humidity. · Do not store this product in extremely cold or hot environments. · Avoid exposing this product to direct sunlight for long periods of time. · Avoid static electricity. Do not put this product close to a radio or a TV. Excessive static electricity may cause the product to malfunction. · Do not place this product in an unstable location. · Keep this product away from fire and flames. · Do not touch the imager scanner housing in direct sunlight. The housing may be hot and cause burns. · Do not touch the imager scanner housing if the imager scanner has been in use for an extended period of time.
16 Cleaning the NLV-5201
