RAPID CONFIGURATION

1

STEP 3 – FOCUS THE SCANNER

The reading distance depends on the focus distance of the scanner and should be set according to the application requirements. The Focus Position is set directly through the focus adjustment screw on the front panel of the scanner. This screw moves the internal lens of the scanner to change the focal length of the scanner. The setting is continuous but should not be set beyond the limits "Too Far" or "Too Near" which appear on the display at the extremes of the focus range. Although the scanner reads across the entire focus range, there

are three guaranteed positions which correspond to the reading diagrams in par. 7.4.

1. Power up the scanner

. For Subzero models, At -35 °C, a 20-minute

warm-up period is required before the scanner is ready to read barcodes, the Ready LED blinks.

Wait for the power up sequence to finish. By default the scanner focus is in the Unlocked position. The alternating message on the display shows the mechanical Focus Position.

2. Using a screwdriver turn the focus adjustment screw in the desired direction, clockwise (focus nearer to the scanner) or counterclockwise (focus farther from the scanner). The focus position in centimeters and inches is shown on the scanner display.

NOTE

The value of the Focus Position must be stored in memory. If the mechanical position changes by more than the allowed tolerance of the value in memory, an alarm will be sent. See the Focus Lock function in step 4,

X-PRESS™ Configuration.

As an additional visual aid during focusing, the indicator LEDs show the relative focus position as follows:

STEP 4 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION

X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed to improve ease of installation and maintenance.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of the five colored LEDs, whereas the single push button gives immediate access to the following relevant functions:

AutoSetup to self-optimize and auto-configure reading performance in demanding applications

AutoLearn to self-detect and auto-configure for reading unknown barcodes (by type and length)

Focus Lock to memorize the mechanical focus position

Test Mode with bar graph visualization to check static reading performance

The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table:

TRIGGER Yellow This LED indicates the status of the reading phase. *

STATUS Red This LED indicates a NO READ result.

* In On-Line mode the TRIGGER LED corresponds to the active reading phase signaled by the Presence Sensor.

In Automatic and Continuous modes the TRIGGER LED is always on indicating that the reader is ready to read a code.

** When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.

During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.

On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner is correctly powered.

NOTE

When entering the X-PRESS™ interface on the DS4800-X1XX the Oscillating

Mirror remains in the default fixed position (0°) in order to make barcode reading easier while performing the X-PRESS™ functions.

STEP 5 – INSTALL GENIUS™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

Genius

is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages:

 Wizard approach for new users;

 Multi-language version;

 Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;

 Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.

To install Genius™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running

Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP or Vista, then insert the Genius™ CD-ROM, wait for the CD to autorun and follow the installation procedure.

This configuration procedure assumes scanner connection to a CBX100/500. Genius™, running on a laptop computer, is connected to the scanner auxiliary port through the

CBX100/500 9-pin connector. To communicate with the scanner, Genius™ performs an auto baudrate detection starting from its default parameters which are 115200, 8, N, 1. These parameters can also be set in the Genius™ Tools>Options>Communications window.

Wizard for Quick Reader Setup

After installing the Genius™ software program the following window appears asking the user to choose the desired configuration level.

INTRODUCTION

2.1.1 Indicators

The five LEDs on the side of the scanner (

Figure A , 3) indicate the following:

2

TRIGGER Yellow This LED indicates the status of the reading phase. *

STATUS Red This LED indicates a NO READ result.

* In On-Line mode the TRIGGER LED corresponds to the active reading phase signaled by the Presence Sensor.

In Automatic and Continuous modes the TRIGGER LED is always on indicating that the reader is ready to read a code.

** When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.

During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.

On the back of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED indicates the laser scanner is correctly powered.

2.2 ID-NET™

The ID-NET™ network is a built-in high-speed interface dedicated for high-speed scanner interconnection. ID-NET™ is in addition to the Main and Auxiliary serial interfaces.

The following network configurations are available:

ID-NET™ M/S Synchronized: Single station – multiple scanners

CBX100

CBX100 CBX100

ID-NET™ interface allows local connection of multiple scanners reading different sides of the same target. All scanners share a single presence sensor and activate/deactivate simultaneously.

At the end of each reading phase a single data message is transmitted to the host.

Thanks to ID-NET™, data communication among scanners is highly efficient so that an immediate result will be available.

19

DS4800 REFERENCE MANUAL

ID-NET™ M/S Multidata: Multiple stations – single scanner

CBX100

CBX100 CBX100

ID-NET™ interface allows connection of scanners reading objects placed on independent conveyors. All scanners are typically located far away from each other and they use a dedicated presence sensor.

At the end of each reading phase, each scanner transmits its own data message to the host.

Thanks to ID-NET™, data collection among readers is accomplished at a high speed without the need of an external multiplexing device. This leads to an overall cost reduction and to a simple system wiring.

2.2.1 How To Setup/Configure the Scanner Network

A complete ID-NET™ scanner network can be rapidly setup, as follows:

Mounting & Connection

1. Mechanically mount/install all the readers (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.3).

2. Wire ID-NET™ (refer to par. 4.3 or 5.3).

3. Connect a PC equipped with Genius™ to the planned Master scanner.

4. Power up the entire system.

Configuration

1. Launch Genius™.

2. From the Genius™ Device Menu select “Local Device Network Settings” and program the

Role of the Master scanner (Synchronized or Multidata).

This procedure requires the Network Baud Rate be the same for all Slaves and Master,

(500 kbs is the default value). It can be changed after network setup using Genius™ through the Master scanner. See also the alternative procedure in the note below.

3. At the prompt to "Send updated Network configuration to the Local Device" (Master) choose "Yes".

4. Then run the NET-AUTOSET procedure from the Icon in the Devices Area. Genius™ sets all slave scanners according to the Master Role (Synchronized or Multidata), and assigns each a random address. If necessary, this address can be changed through the

Network Wizard.

5. Configure the System parameters via Genius™.

6. If using the CBX connection box equipped with a BM100 Backup module, perform

System Backup at the Master.

The scanner network is ready.

NOTE

If necessary, the ID-NET™ baudrate can be set individually on each Slave scanner to match the Master. Connect each Slave to Genius™ and set the

Reading System Layout > Network Baudrate parameter. Then follow the procedure above.

NOTE

An alternative method of programming scanner address and role assignment can be accomplished by using the “Connectivity Programming Barcodes”

(refer to the “ID-NET™ Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes” document on the product CD).

. The laser turns on and the LEARN LED blinks to indicate the ongoing process.

The procedure is as follows:

- place the desired barcode on the scanline.

- wait until the LEARN LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the barcode).

- repeat, if needed, the above two steps to program up to 10 different barcodes (the LEARN

LED returns to the blinking state for the next code). If more than one barcode is detected in the scan line, the Multi Label mode is enabled (refer to the “2K/4K Family Software

Configuration Parameter Guide” Help file).

- exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in scanner memory.

AutoSetup Function

Once entered, if a barcode label is positioned in front of the scanline, the scanner automatically performs the optimal setup of the reading parameters for that specific barcode.

The procedure is as follows:

-

-

place the desired barcode on the scanline.

enter the AutoSetup function (the laser turns on and the SETUP LED blinks to indicate the ongoing process).

-

wait until the SETUP LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the barcode).

This procedure ends either when the barcode is successfully decoded or after a timeout of about 7 (seven) seconds.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the optimized reading parameters for that barcode are automatically configured in scanner memory.

NOTE

The AutoSetup function does not modify the programmed barcode symbologies. If needed, the AutoLearn function can be performed after

Autosetup.

Focus Lock/Unlock

Once entered, the scanner automatically performs the Focus Lock procedure to save the mechanical focus position to memory. If the mechanical focus position is changed by more than the allowed tolerance of the value in memory, a diagnostic alarm will be sent to the display.

The procedure is as follows:

-

enter the Focus Lock function.

-

wait until the "Focus locked at..." message appears on the display (indicating the focus position has been saved to memory). The following parameters are set:

Locked Position = your mechanical setting

Focus Displacement (Alarm) = set (default to display only)

If the Focus lock has already been set, this procedure can be used to Unlock the focus value.

In this case control of the focus position is disabled.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process.

Reset Scanner to Factory Default

If it ever becomes necessary to reset the scanner to the factory default values, you can perform this procedure by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed while powering up the scanner. At the end of the procedure (about 5-6 seconds), the Configuration and

Environmental parameters are reset, all LEDs blink simultaneously 3 times and the message

"Default Set" is shown on the display.

2.5 OSCILLATING MIRROR MODELS

The DS4800 OM is completely software controlled and software programmable through

Genius™ which allows adjusting the oscillating frequency and the minimum and maximum oscillation angles of two separate reading zones.

When the oscillating mirror is programmed to read barcode labels at small angles, position the reader to assure at least 15° for the Skew angle. This angle refers to the most inclined or external laser line, so that all other laser lines assure more than 15° Skew. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the reader.

35°

15°

-5° code surface

Figure 5 – Oscillating Mirror Skew Angle

Otherwise, the scanner can be mounted at an angle of inclination of 15° in order to attain symmetrical deflection ranges.

Figure 6 - Oscillating Mirror Reading Position

In the above case, the zone where the scan line is perpendicular to the reflecting surface corresponds to a neutral zone at the center of the reading field.

NOTE

By limiting the raster width to the minimum necessary, the number of scans on the reading surface is increased.

2.6 SUBZERO TEMPERATURE MODELS

The DS4800 Subzero scanner is an industrial scanner designed to operate in industrial refrigerator/freezer cells or other stable subzero degree environments, which are below the operating range of standard industrial scanners. It is not designed to move between subzero and normal environments (rapid temperature changes).

It has a patent-pending intelligent microprocessor-driven and very efficient internal heating system which constantly monitors and automatically controls internal temperature, heating only the necessary temperature-sensitive components and thereby keeping them functioning within their designed operating range even though the outside temperature is below this value. This results in very low overall power consumption. Part of this system also heats the

Laser Beam Output window to eliminate ice and/or condensation build-up from negatively affecting the reading results.

Upon power-up in a subzero environment, the scanner waits until these internal components are heated to within their operating temperature range. For example, power-up at -35 °C can take about 20 minutes before the scanner is ready to read barcodes. During this time the laser, motor, and display remain off and the Ready LED blinks, indicating the warm-up phase. Scanner communication is however operative and it can be configured through

Genius™ or through Host Mode Programming during this phase.

3.3 POSITIONING

The DS4800 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the DS4800 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles:

Skew 15° to 30°, Tilt 0° and Pitch 0°.

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 19. Position the reader to assure at

least 15° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the

DS4800.

S

S

All DS4800 models are equipped with a cable terminated by a 25-pin male D-sub connector for connection to the power supply and input/output signals.

We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection boxes since they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement and filtered reference signals.

NOTE

If you require direct wiring to the scanner the details of the connector pins

and relative connections are indicated in Chaper 5.

If the DS4800 is used as a Code Verifier, the verifier code can be configured in software through the Genius™ configuration program. However it is also possible to use one of the inputs to trigger when the scanner should store a code read as the verifier code.

The Code Verifier parameter must be enabled, and the configuration parameters to allow correct Code Type reading must be saved to the scanner in order to read the verifier code.

When the selected input is activated, the next read code will be stored as the verifier code in the scanner's non-volatile (Flash) memory.

5.5.1 Code Verifier

If the DS4800 is used as a Code Verifier, the verifier code can be configured in software through the Genius™ configuration program. However it is also possible to use one of the inputs to trigger when the scanner should store a code read as the verifier code.

The Code Verifier parameter must be enabled, and the configuration parameters to allow correct Code Type reading must be saved to the scanner in order to read the verifier code.

When the selected input is activated, the next read code will be stored as the verifier code in the scanner's non-volatile (Flash) memory.

For more details see the Verifier Parameters in the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration

Parameter Guide” Help file".

6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout.

These layouts also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters.

Complete software configuration procedures can be found in the Guide To Rapid

Configuration in the Genius™ Help On Line.

6.1 POINT-TO-POINT

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. A Genius™ based Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through the main interface or the

Auxiliary interface.

In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the main interface selection.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger

(photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

6.2 PASS-THROUGH

Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface.

Each DS4800 transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger

(photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

Applications can be implemented to connect a device such as a hand-held reader to the

Auxiliary port of the last scanner in the chain for manual code reading capability.

An alternative Pass-Through layout allows the more efficient ID-NET™ network to be used.

This layout is really an ID-NET Master/Slave Multidata layout which also allows each scanner (Master and Slaves) to accept input on the Auxiliary interface, for example to connect a device such as a hand-held reader for manual code reading capability.

Each DS4800 transmits its own messages plus any messages received by its Auxiliary interface onto the ID-NET™ interface. The Master passes all messages to the Host.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger

(photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

6.3 ID-NET™

The ID-NET™ connection is used to collect data from several scanners to build a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 31 slaves connected together.

The slave scanners are connected together using the ID-NET™ interface. Every slave scanner must have an ID-NET™ address in the range 1-31.

The master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232/RS485 main serial interface.

For a Master/Slave Synchronized layout the External Trigger signal is unique to the system; there is a single reading phase and a single message from the master scanner to the Host computer. It is not necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners.

The main, auxiliary, and ID-NET™ interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.

6.4 RS232 MASTER/SLAVE

NOTE

This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts.

The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several scanners to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 9 slaves connected together.

The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each slave

DS4800 transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the Master.

The Master scanner is connected to the Host on the RS232/RS485 main serial interface.

There is a single reading phase and a single message from the master scanner to the Host computer.

Either On-Line or Serial On-Line Operating modes can be used in this layout.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the external trigger signal is unique to the system, however it is not necessary to bring the external trigger signal to the Slave scanners.

The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.

7.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION (ACR™ 4)

The traditional way of barcode reading could be called “Linear Reading”. In this case, the laser beam crosses the barcode symbol from its beginning to its end as shown in the following figure:

Laser Beam

Figure 79 – Linear Reading

In Advanced Code Reconstruction mode it is no longer necessary for the laser beam to cross the label from the start to the end. With just a set of partial scans on the label (obtained using the motion of the label itself), the scanner is able to “reconstruct” the barcode. A typical set of partial scans is shown in the figure below:

Code Direction

Figure 80 – Partial Scans

None of the partial scans contains the whole label. The decoder aligns each partial scan correctly and combines them in order to obtain the entire code.

The alignment is performed by calculating the time difference from one partial scan to another using a reference code element.

ACR4 therefore has an intrinsic ability to increase the reading percentage of damaged codes as in the examples below:

7.2 LINEAR CODE READING

The number of scans performed on the code by the DS4800 and therefore the decoding capability is influenced by the following parameters:

 number of scans per second

 code motion speed

 label dimensions

 scan direction with respect to code motion

At least 5 scans during the code passage should be allowed to ensure a successful read.

7.2.1 Step-Ladder Mode

If scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction (Figure 84), the number of effective

scans performed by the reader is given by the following formula:

SN = [(LH/LS) * SS] – 2

Where: SN = number of effective scans

LH = label height (in mm)

LS = label movement speed in (mm/s)

SS = number of scans per second

Direction of code movement at LS speed

Figure 84 - "Step-Ladder" Scanning Mode

For example, the DS4800 (800 scans/sec.) for a 25 mm high code moving at 1250 mm/s performs:

[(25/1250) * 800] - 2 = 14 effective scans.

89

DS4800 REFERENCE MANUAL

7

7.2.2 Picket-Fence Mode

If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 85), the number of effective scans is given

by the following formula:

SN = [((FW-LW)/LS) * SS] -2 Where: SN = number of effective scans

FW = reading field width (in mm)

LW = label width (in mm)

LS = label movement speed (in mm/s)

For example, for a 60 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is 160 mm wide at a 2000 mm/s speed, the DS4800 (800 scans per sec.), performs:

[((160-60)/2000) * 800] - 2 = 38 effective scans

Suggestions

Is power connected?

If using a power adapter (like PG 6000), is it connected to a wall outlet?

If using rail power, does rail have power?

If using CBX100, does it have power (check switch and LED)?

Measure voltage either at pin 13 and pin 25 (for 25-pin connector) or at spring clamp Vdc and GND (for CBX).

Is sensor connected to I1A, I1B spring clamps (for CBX) or to pins 18 and 19 (for 25-pin connector)?

Is power supplied to photo sensor?

Are the photo sensor LEDS (if any) working correctly?

Is the sensor/reflector system aligned?

Is the software configuration consistent with the application condition (operating mode etc.)?

In the Genius™ program select the Operating Mode branch and check for related parameters.

In the Genius™ program select the Operating Mode branch and check if Serial On Line is selected in the On Line Options.

Are the Start – Stop characters correctly assigned?

Is the serial trigger source correctly connected and configured?

In the Genius™ program select the Operating Mode branch and check the Reading Phase Timeout parameterization.

Check if the multifunction key is Locked through the Key

Functionality parameter.

Check if the multifunction key is Partially Locked through the Key

Functionality parameter. Only the X-PRESS™ Autolearn function will be enabled and will only read the Lock/Unlock programming barcode. A message indicating this state is shown on the

DS4800 Display.

Except for the Focus Lock/Unlock function, the X-PRESS™ functions don't work if the scanner motor or laser are turned off.

Check if the motor or laser are turned off through the following parameters:

 Beam Shutter = enabled

 Scan Speed = Motor Off

GLOSSARY

ACR4™ (Advanced Code Reconstruction)

This is a powerful code reconstruction technology (ACR™ 4). The new fourth generation

ACR™ considerably increases the code reconstruction reading capability in the case of damaged or very tilted barcodes.

Aperture

Term used on the required CDRH warning labels to describe the laser exit window.

Barcode

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.

Barcode Label

A label that carries a barcode and can be affixed to an article.

Baud Rate

A unit used to measure communications speed or data transfer rate.

CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)

This organization (a service of the Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for the safety regulations governing acceptable limitations on electronic radiation from laser devices.

Datalogic devices are in compliance with the CDRH regulations.

Code Positioning

Variation in code placement that affects the ability of a scanner to read a code. The terms

Pitch, Skew, and Tilt deal with the angular variations of code positioning in the X, Y and Z

axes. See pars. 3.2.1 and 3.3. Variations in code placement affect the pulse width and

therefore the decoding of the code. Pulse width is defined as a change from the leading edge of a bar or space to the trailing edge of a bar or space over time. Pulse width is also referred to as a transition. Tilt, pitch, and skew impact the pulse width of the code.

Decode

The process of translating a barcode into data characters using a specific set of rules for each symbology.

Decoder

As part of a barcode reading system, the electronic package which receives the signals from the scanner, performs the algorithm to interpret the signals into meaningful data and provides the interface to other devices. The decoder is normally integrated into the scanner.

EAN

European Article Number System. The international standard barcode for retail food packages.

FLASH

An on-board non-volatile memory chip.

107

Full Duplex

Simultaneous, two-way, independent transmission in both directions.

Half Duplex

Transmission in either direction, but not simultaneously.

Host

A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages.

Interface

A shared boundary defined by common physical interconnection characteristics, signal characteristics and meanings of interchanged signals.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

A low power electronic device that can serve as a visible or near infrared light source when voltage is applied continuously or in pulses. It is commonly used as an indicator light and uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display

(LCD). LEDs have extremely long lifetimes when properly operated.

Multidrop Line

A single communications circuit that interconnects many stations, each of which contains terminal devices. See RS485.

Parameter

A value that you specify to a program. Typically parameters are set to configure a device to have particular operating characteristics.

Picket-Fence Orientation

When the barcode’s bars are positioned vertically on the product, causing them to appear as

a picket fence. The first bar will enter the scan window first. See par. 7.2.2.

Pitch

Rotation of a code pattern about the X-axis. The normal distance between center line or

adjacent characters. See pars. 3.2.1 and 3.3.

Position

The position of a scanner or light source in relation to the target of a receiving element.

Protocol

A formal set of conventions governing the formatting and relative timing of message exchange between two communicating systems.

Raster

The process of projecting the laser beam at varied angles spaced evenly from each other.

Typically, the mirrored rotor surfaces are angled to create multiple scan lines instead of a single beam.

Resolution

The narrowest element dimension, which can be distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a particular device or method.

108

RS232

Interface between data terminal equipment and data communication equipment employing serial binary data interchange.

RS485

Interface that specifies the electrical characteristics of generators and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems such as on a Multidrop line.

Scanner

A device that examines a printed pattern (barcode) and either passes the uninterpreted data to a decoder or decodes the data and passes it onto the Host system.

Serial Port

An I/O port used to connect a scanner to your computer, identifiable by a 9-pin or 25-pin connector.

Signal

An impulse or fluctuating electrical quantity (i.e.: a voltage or current) the variations of which represent changes in information.

Skew

Rotation about the Y-axis. Rotational deviation from correct horizontal and vertical

orientation; may apply to single character, line or entire encoded item. See pars. 3.2.1 and

3.3.

Step-Ladder Orientation

When the barcode’s bars are positioned horizontally on the product, causing them to appear

as a ladder. The ends of all bars will enter the scan window first. See par. 7.2.1.

Symbol

A combination of characters including start/stop and checksum characters, as required, that form a complete scannable barcode.

Tilt

Rotation around the Z axis. Used to describe the position of the barcode with respect to the

laser scan line. See pars. 3.2.1 and 3.3.

Trigger Signal

A signal, typically provided by a photoelectric sensor or proximity switch, which informs the scanner of the presence of an object within its reading zone.

UPC

Acronym for Universal Product Code. The standard barcode type for retail food packaging in the United States.

Visible Laser Diode

A light source used in scanners to illuminate the barcode symbol. Generates visible red light at wavelengths between 630 and 680 nm.
