READING FEATURES
3
If scanning is parallel to the code movement (Figure 32) the number of effective
scans is given by:
SN = [((FW-LW)/LS)
*
SS] - 2
These symbols signify:
SN = number of effective scans
FW = reading field width (in mm)
LW = label width (in mm)
LS = label movement speed (in mm/s)
SS = scans per second
For example, for a 100 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is
200 mm wide at a 2000 mm/s speed, the DS4600A (800 scans per sec.), performs:
[((200-100)/2000)
*
800] - 2 = 38 scans
3.3 PERFORMANCE
The DS4600A scanner is available in different versions according to the reading
performance.
