3 READING FEATURES
The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2100 and therefore the
decoding capability is influenced by the following parameters:
•
number of scans per second
•
code motion speed
•
label dimensions
•
scan direction with respect to code motion
At least 5 scans during the code passage should be allowed to ensure a successful
read.
3.1 STEP-LADDER MODE
If scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction (Figure 27), the number of
effective scans performed by the reader is given by the following formula:
SN = [(LH/LS) * SS] – 2 Where: SN = number of effective scans
LH = label height (in mm)
LS = label movement speed
in (mm/s)
SS = number of scans per second
