12000 Scanner Installation Manual
1.2 - General Features
1.2 DESCRIPTION
Some of the main features of this scanner are –
•
very high scanning speed (800 scans/s)
•
raster version availability
•
total configurability from host computer
•
two serial communication interfaces: one can be set as RS232, RS485, or
20-mA C.L.; the other, an RS232 auxiliary interface
•
readability of all popular codes
•
supply voltage range from 10 to 30 VDC
•
test mode – to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner
without the need for external tools.
•
configurability in different operating modes – to suit the most varied bar code
reading system requirements.
•
code verifier
•
detection capability for absolute label position in the scan line [for digital signal
processing (DSP) models only, see section 1.3]
•
Print contrast signal (PCS) verification (for DSP models only, see section 1.3)
The LazerData 12000 Scanner uses a solid-state laser diode as a light source. The
light emitted has a wavelength of between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section
"Safety Precautions" at the beginning of this manual for information on laser
safety.
The use of a semiconductor laser has made it possible to develop an extremely
compact scanner with low power consumption. The reader is contained in a rugged
aluminum housing; the physical dimensions are 101 x 83.5 x 42 mm (4 x 3.3 x
1.7 inches) and it weighs about 800 g (1.8 lbs.).
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65. The reader, therefore, is particularly
suitable for industrial environments where protection against harsh external
conditions is required.
