Device overview
3.1.1
About the DCR 50 scan engine
The code reader is based on a scan engine with CMOS imager with integrated decoder for all of the most
popular 1D and 2D codes such as DataMatrix, Aztec, QR Code, 2/5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 128, UPC/
EAN etc.
The many possible configurations of the device allow it to be adapted to a multitude of reading tasks. Due
to the small dimensions of the unit and the large reading field, the device can also be used in highly con-
strained spaces.
Information on technical data and characteristics: see chapter 12 "Technical data".
3.1.2
Stand-alone operation
The scan engine is operated as a single "stand-alone" device. It is equipped with a 6-pin Molex connector
for the power supply electrical connection, the interface, the trigger input, and the switching output.
