DS4600A

If scanning is perpendicular to the direction of the code movement (Figure 31), the
number of effective scans performed by the reader is given by the following formula:
SN = [(LH/LS) * SS] - 2
These symbols signify:
SN =
number of effective scans
LH =
label height (in mm)
LS =
label movement speed (in mm/s)
SS =
number of scans per second
For example, the DS4600A (800 scans/sec.), for a 25 mm high code moving at 1250
mm/s performs:
[(25/1250) * 800] - 2 = 14 effective scans.
