AutoLearn Function
Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes
(by type and length), which are presented to it

. 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.
The AutoSetup function does not modify the programmed barcode

3.3 POSITIONING
The DS2100N scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles,
however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting the DS2100N take into consideration these three ideal label position angles:
Skew 10° 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 17. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the
DS2100N.
For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that all
other raster lines assure more than 10° Skew.
S
Figure 17 - Skew Angle
The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 18. Position the reader in order to
minimize the Tilt angle.
T
Figure 18 - Tilt Angle
By using the ACB (Advanced Code Builder) software parameter, the tilt angle is less critical
and can be decoded even if the scan line doesn’t cross the entire code.
See par. 7.1 or the Help On Line for details.

We recommend using DeviceNet cables (drop or trunk type) to the following reference
standards:
AN50325 – IEC 62026
UL STYLE 2502 80°C 30V
• Cable Shield MUST be connected to earth ground ONLY at the Master.
• NEVER use ID-NET™ cable shield as common reference.
• The ID-NET™ max cable length depends on the baudrate used, (see the Baudrate Table
below).
• For Common Power Connections use only 2 wires (ID+ and ID-).
- DC Voltage Power cable (Vdc – GND) should be handled as a signal cable (i.e. do not
put it together with AC cable):
- Wire dimensioning must be checked in order to avoid voltage drops greater than 0.8
Volts.
- Cable should lie down as near as possible to the ID-NET™ cable (avoiding wide loops
between them).
• Scanner's chassis may be connected to earth.
• Network inside the same building.

If the DS2100N 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.

The following instructions are referred to Figure 52, Figure 53 and Figure 54.
• The general cable type specifications are: CAT5 twisted pair + additional CAT5 twisted
pair, shielded cable AWG 24 (or AWG 22) stranded flexible.
We recommend using DeviceNet cables (drop or trunk type) to the following reference
standards:
AN50325 – IEC 62026
UL STYLE 2502 80°C 30V
• Cable Shield MUST be connected to earth ground ONLY at the Master.
• NEVER use ID-NET™ cable shield as common reference.
• The ID-NET™ max cable length depends on the baudrate used, (see the Baudrate Table
below).
• For Common Power Connections use only 2 wires (23 and 24).
- DC Voltage Power cable (Vdc – GND) should be handled as a signal cable (i.e. do not
put it together with AC cable):
- Wire dimensioning must be checked in order to avoid voltage drops greater than 0.8
Volts.
- Cable should lie down as near as possible to the ID-NET™ cable (avoiding wide loops
between them).
• Scanner's chassis may be connected to earth.
• Network inside the same building.

5.5 INPUTS
There are two optocoupled polarity insensitive inputs available on the scanner: Input 1
(External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input:
The electrical features of both inputs are:
Maximum voltage: 30 Vdc
Maximum current: 12 mA
An anti-disturbance filter is implemented in software on both inputs so that the minimum
pulse duration is ≅ 5 milliseconds. This value can be increased through the software
parameter Debounce Filter, see the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide”
Help file".
25-pin
The External Trigger input is used in the On-Line operating Mode and tells the scanner to
scan for a code. The active state of this input is selected in software. Refer to the Genius™
Help On Line.
The yellow Trigger LED (
corresponds to ON.
This input is optocoupled and can be driven by both an NPN and PNP type command. The

5.5.1 Code Verifier
If the DS2100N 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".
5.6 OUTPUTS
Two general purpose outputs are available. The following pins are present on the 25-pin
connector of the scanner:
25-pin
The meaning of the two outputs Output 1 and Output 2 can be defined by the user (No Read,
Right, Wrong, etc.). Refer to the Genius™ Help On Line.
By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code
signaled by the external trigger is not decoded, and Output 2 is associated with the Complete
Read event, which activates when all the selected codes are correctly decoded.
The output signals are fully programmable being determined by the configured
Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation Timeout or a combination of the two.

CBX500 connection box.
Scanner configuration can be accomplished through the Auxiliary interface using the
Genius™ configuration program or Genius™ based Host Mode programming.
In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface
independently from the Fieldbus 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.
Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial
interface.
Each DS2100N 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.

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 a 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.

7.1 ADVANCED CODE BUILDER (ACB)
In addition to linear reading, the
“stitching” together two partial reads of it. ACB is not as powerful as Advanced Code
Reconstruction due to limits on tilt angle, speed and Multi-label function; but it is effective in
the case of close-to-linear, small height codes, damaged codes, or poor print quality codes.
ACB is used to read a code label when the scan line does not cross the label along its entire
length (excessive tilt angle).
Advanced Code Builder (ACB) allows code reading by
Linear Reading
Linear Reading
ACB Reading
ACB Reading
ACB reads two fragments of a label containing a start or a stop character and a number of
digits, and puts them together to build the complete label.
ACB also has an intrinsic ability to increase the reading percentage of damaged codes as in
the examples below:
ACB Readable
Not ACB Readable
ACB Readable
ACB is disabled by default but can be enabled for the following code types:
• Code 25 Interleaved • Code 128/EAN128
• Code 39 Family• EAN/UPC (without ADD-Ons)
• Codabar• Code 93
74
READING FEATURES
7.1.1 Important ACB Reading Conditions
• Do not use ACB for omni-directional reading stations.
• ACB can be activated for each symbology independently from the others.
• ACB requires that the code be in movement with respect to the scanner.
• ACB requires fixed length barcode reading.
• The codes read with ACB enabled must pass in front of the scanner one at a time.
7
Not valid for ACB
Valid for ACB
• Code concatenation and ACB are not compatible and therefore cannot be enabled
simultaneously on the same code.
• For correct operation, ACB requires at least 5 scans for each of the two fragments.
7.1.2 Tilt Angle Improvement with ACB
ACB allows barcode reading with an increased tilt angle. The tilt angle depends upon the
code aspect ratio defined as H/L according to the table below:

7.2 LINEAR CODE READING
The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2100N 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.
75

DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL
7.2.1 Step-Ladder Mode
If scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction (Figure 77), 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

For example, the DS2100N (500 scans/sec.) for a 25 mm high code moving at 1000 mm/s
performs:
[(25/1000) * 500] - 2 = 10 effective scans.
76
READING FEATURES

7.2.2 Picket-Fence Mode
If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 78), the number of effective scans is given
by the following formula:
SN = [((FW-LW)/LS) * SS] -2Where: 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 60 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is 160 mm
wide at a 1500 mm/s speed, the DS2100N (500 scans per sec.), performs:
[((160-60)/1500) * 500] - 2 = 31 effective scans

8.1 CLEANING
Clean the laser beam output window periodically for continued correct operation of the
reader.
Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance.
Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments.
Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.
Clean the window of the DS2100N when the scanner is turned off or, at
least, when the laser beam is deactivated.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING
9.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
When wiring the device, pay careful attention to the signal name (acronym) on the
CBX100/500 spring clamp connectors (chp. 4). If you are connecting directly to the scanner
25-pin connector pay attention to the pin number of the signals (chp 5).
If you need information about a certain reader parameter you can refer to the Genius™
program help files.
Either connect the device and select the parameter you’re interested in by pressing the F1
key, or select Help/Parameters Help/2K_4K Software Configuration Parameters Guide
from the command menu.
If you’re unable to fix the problem and you’re going to contact your local Datalogic office or
Datalogic Partner or ARC, we suggest providing (if possible) the Device Configuration files
(*.ddc). Connect through Genius™ and click the Save icon from the toolbar. Also note the
exact Model, Serial Number and Order Number of the device.

lit
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).
On line Mode:
TRIGGER LED is not lit
(when external trigger
activates)
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?
On line Mode:
TRIGGER LED is
correctly lit but nothing
happens (no reading
results)
Serial On line Mode:
the reader is not
triggered (no reading
results)
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.

Check synchronization of reading pulse with object to read:
Is the scan line correctly positioned?
Place barcode in the center of scan line and run Test mode
(selectable by Genius™ as an Operating Mode). If you still have
trouble, check the following:
• Is the reading distance within that allowed (see reading
diagrams)?
• Is the Tilt angle too large?
• Is the Skew angle less than 10° (direct reflection)?
• Choose the Code Definition branch and enable different
Code Symbologies (except Pharmacode). Length = Min
and Max (variable).
• Is the Bar Code quality sufficient?
If you had no success, try to perform the test using the
BARCODE TEST CHART included with the product.
Communication:
