Feature
Benefit
Energy Saving A software parameter group which allows
management of the energy saving feature. In
particular, it allows turning on/off the motor and
laser of all network scanners according to the
selected digital input, encoder, or communication
channel.
The time required to restart the system is less
than 1 minute independently from the number of
scanners connected.
It is suggested to use this parameter for example
when the conveyor is stopped for a lengthy
period.
1.3 MODEL DESCRIPTION
The DS8100A scanner is available in versions that differ depending on the interface
connection, the optical resolution and on the optic version:
DS8100A - X X X X
Optic Version:
0 = Linear
Optical Resolution:
0 = Low resolution
1 = Medium resolution
Communication Type:
0 = Standard version
1 = Ethernet version
2 = High resolution
3 = Very High resolution
5 = Oscillating mirror
Laser Number:
2 = Double laser
3 = Triple laser
1.4 OSCILLATING MIRROR MODELS
Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly
in picket fence applications.
The oscillating mirror is placed in front of the reading aperture of the DS8100A scanner to
deflect the laser beam. As the mirror moves, this sweeping function of the laser beam allows
the coverage of a larger area to locate the barcodes. The code can also be reconstructed as
the beam sweeps over it.
