1.1 INTRODUCTION
The DS8100 scanner is a barcode reader complete with decoder designed to provide
an innovative and high performance solution in omnidirectional reading applications
by combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic’s solid experience
in the material handling sector.
ACR™
Advanced Code Reconstruction technology allows the reading of low aspect ratio
labels placed anywhere on a parcel and enhances the readability of poorly printed or
damaged codes.
CD SQUARE™
CD SQUARE™ provides useful information on label position and object shape
elaborated during the barcode reading phase. This innovative technology identifies
the area in which the code is located and measures the code distance from the
scanner.
PACKTRACK™
PackTrack™ is a Datalogic patented parcel tracking system which improves the
reading features in omnidirectional stations. In particular, PackTrack™ manages 6-
sided reading systems when it is impossible to detect the real position of the code on
the parcel, thus overcoming the need for external accessories essential in traditional
tracking systems.
ASTRA™
Automatically SwiTched Reading Area™ is the new Datalogic technology based on a
multi-laser architecture and a fixed mounted optic system which concentrates the
multiple laser emissions in a single laser beam. As each laser emitter is focused on a
specific range of the reading area, a sophisticated electronic controller selects the
best focused laser emitter with respect to the code to read. This allows the reading of
medium-high density codes in a large reading area on very fast conveyors.
