2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DS4800 laser scanner satisfies the most advanced needs of a wide range of users. It
has been developed focusing on the realistic requirements of its target market. The
outstanding result is an extremely compact, cost-effective and easy to use industrial scanner.
Standard Application
Program
A standard application program is factory-loaded onto the
DS4800. This program controls barcode reading, serial port
interfacing, data formatting and many other operating and control
parameters.
It is completely configurable from a host computer through the
Genius™ utility program provided on CD with the scanner, or via
the serial interface (Genius™ based Host Mode Programming).
Custom Application
Programs
If the Standard Application Program does not meet your
requirements, please contact your local Datalogic distributor.

The DS4800 uses a solid-state laser diode as a light source; the light emitted has a
wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section “Safety Precautions” at the
beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, the reader is therefore suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.
