1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DX6400/DX6500 is a high performance laser scanner in a complete range of industrial bar code readers offering an innovative and modular solution in terms of reading performance, connectivity and maintenance, in addition to a completely new hardware and software platform.

The DX6400/DX6500 has been specifically designed for simple installation, easy use and flexibility. An innovative mechanical design together with the Datalogic patent pending Stepa-Head independently from each other. Step-a-Head installed in the ideal position, by modifying the orientation of the connector panel while leaving the laser window in the desired position. The need for space is minimized and installation is easier.

The DX6400 has an innovative linear motor designed to control the focus position of the scanner via software. This dynamic system, called FLASH position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position, in less than 10 msec. In typical applications, where a DOF <1 meter is required, the focus position is adjusted in 4 msec.

The DX6500 is based on the ASTRA™ technology which allows to switch electronically the two laser diodes depending on the distance from the barcode. The real time depth of field (DOF) provided by the DS6500 covers a wide set of applications, from the stand alone one to the multisided tunnels conveyors.

The DX6400/DX6500 can read all most popular barcodes even in the most difficult conditions, thanks to a new generation decoder with StrongARM CPU and code reconstruction technology (ACR™ 3).

Great attention has been given to built-in connectivity for market standards. Lonworks, and Ethernet bus have been integrated in dedicated versions of the decoder base.

Some of the main features of DX6400/DX6500 are listed below:

• omni-directional reading;

• scanning speed up to 750 scans/sec per scan line (total 1500 scans/sec);

• 2 serial communication interfaces

Main Interface

The main serial interface is compatible with the following electrical standards:

RS232 RS485 full-duplex RS485 half-duplex (20 mA current loop)

The 20 mA Current Loop interface is available by using the C-BOX 100 with the optional INT-30 accessory installed in it. The scanner communicates to the C-BOX 100 through the RS232 interface and the INT-30 converts the signals.

The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) are selected via software using the Genius™ utility program. For more details refer to the section "Main Serial Port" in the Genius™ Help On Line.

Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in the next paragraphs.

RS232 Interface

The main serial interface is used for communication with the Host computer and allows both transmission of code data and configuring the reader.

The following pins of the 25-pin and 26-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection depending on the reader model:

Inputs

The inputs of the reader are on the 25-pin and 26-pin connector (Figure 4, 1 and Figure 5, 1) of the DX6400/DX6500.

These inputs are called EXT_TRIG, IN2, IN3 and IN4.

Pin Name Function

18 EXT_TRIG A External trigger (polarity insensitive) 19 EXT_TRIG B External trigger (polarity insensitive)

6 IN2A Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) 10 IN2B Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) 14 IN3A Input signal 3 (polarity insensitive) 15 IN4A Input signal 4 (polarity insensitive) 24 IN_REF Common reference of IN3 and IN4 (polarity insensitive)

IN2 is normally used for the Encoder input. In PackTrack™ mode, it detects the conveyor speed.

EXT_TRIG is the main presence sensor. When active, this input tells the scanner to scan for a code and that decoding can take place. The yellow LED (Figure 3,3) indicates the EXT_TRIG is active.

IN3 and IN4 can be used as the stop signal for the reading phase.

All inputs are optocoupled, polarity insensitive, and driven by a constant current generator; the command signal is filtered through an anti-disturbance circuit which generates a delay

Page 28

DX6400/DX6500

which can be set to 5 ms or 500 µs. In particular, EXT_TRIG, IN3 and IN4 share the same value which usually corresponds to 5 ms when using a photoelectric sensor, while IN2 has a different value which is set to 500 µs when this input is used for the Encoder.

Figure 22 - NPN Input Command

The inputs can be powered using the VS signal on the scanner (pin 9). However, isolation between the command logic and the scanner is maintained by powering the inputs with a different supply voltage (Vext) from that supplied on pin 9 of the 25-pin/26-pin I/O connector.

The driving logic of the input signals may be powered, for convenience, with the voltage supply between pins A (VS) and B (GND) of the connector. In this case, however, the device is no longer electrically isolated.

The voltage available on the input connector, between pins A and B, is physically the same as used to power the scanner.

The electrical features of these inputs are:

Maximum voltage 30 V Maximum current 10 mA

Outputs

Three general purpose outputs are available.

8 OUT 1+ Configurable digital output 1 – positive pin 22 OUT 1- Configurable digital output 1 – negative pin 11 OUT 2+ Configurable digital output 2 – positive pin 12 OUT 2- Configurable digital output 2 – negative pin 16 OUT 3A Configurable digital output 3 – polarity insensitive 17 OUT 3B Configurable digital output 3 – polarity insensitive

The function of the three outputs OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 can be defined by the user. Refer to Genius™ Help On-Line for further details.

By default, OUT1 is associated with COMPLETE READ event, which activates when the code has been read correctly. In case the reader has been programmed to read several codes within the same reading phase, the event activates when all codes have been read.

OUT2 is associated with NO READ event, which activates when no code has been read.

OUT3 is associated with NONE, which means that the output is always in line state.

The OUT1 and OUT2 electrical features are given below:

Collector-emitter voltage 30 V Max. Collector current 130 mA Max. Saturation voltage (VCE) 1 V at 10 mA Max. Maximum power dissipation 90 mW at 50°C (Ambient temperature).

The limit requested by the maximum power dissipation is more important than that of the maximum collector current: if one of these outputs is continuously driven, the maximum current must not be more than 40 mA although 130 mA may be reached in pulse conditions.

OUT3 has different electrical features, since it is a bi-directional solid state relay with a built-in current limit protection. If this output is continuously driven, the maximum current must be not more than 200 mA although more than 300 mA may be reached in pulse conditions for an ambient temperature of 25°C. At the maximum ambient temperature of 50°C the maximum respective current is 160 mA continuous and 240 mA pulse.

2.3.2 Lonworks Connectors

Do not connect an RS232 port to the 9-pin Lonworks Connector. This may damage your Laptop PC.

CAUTION

The local network used by DX6400/DX6500 exploits a Lonworks standard communication system requiring only two wires (polarity insensitive) to enable a connection. The connector also provides a positive and a negative supplying wire. In this way, all the slave readers can be powered by the master through the Datalogic standard cables.

When working in applications requiring enhanced synchronization capabilities, the DX6400/DX6500 master reader (output) transmits two system signals named Sys_I/O and Sys_Enc_I/O to the slave readers (input). For example, when working with applications requiring an encoder the signal is received by the master and directly transmitted to the slaves through the cable. The internal circuits generating the system signals are externally supplied by means of the VS_I/O and REF_I/O pins and are isolated from the reader supply voltage.

The use of these system circuits is not required in all the operating modes (see par. 2.6 for details). Anyway, for a correct system functioning it is suggested to use Datalogic cables and accessories and follow the description of the typical layout (see par. 2.6 for details).

Network Termination

When building a Lonworks system the network must be properly terminated by positioning BTK-6000 terminator in the DX6400/DX6500 master reader and in the last DX6400/DX6500 slave reader.

Each side of the terminator provides a different connector; thus, it can be inserted either into the Lonworks 9-pin male connector of the master reader or in the Lonworks 9-pin female connector of the last slave reader:

Slave

Master

Male

Figure 26 - BTK-6000 Network Terminator

For Fieldbus models no terminator must be inserted in the reader, since it

NOTE

is internally integrated.

Lonworks Interface

The Lonworks network is used for both input and output connection to build a multi-sided or omni-station system connecting several readers.

The DX6400/DX6500 master usually employs the 9-pin female connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 9-pin male one is terminated by inserting the BTK6000 terminator (see par. 2.6.2 for details). If creating a T network configuration, it is necessary to use both connectors to create the double branch line of slave readers.

Both connectors are always employed when connecting together the slave readers. In particular, the 9-pin female connector is used for output connection and the male one for input connection. The female connector is always terminated in the last slave reader to close the system network.

The following diagram represents the connection between a DX6400/DX6500-XXX-010 working as master and a DX6400/DX6500-XXX-010 working as a slave reader.

2.3.4 Power Supply

The supply voltage of a single scanner must be between 15 and 30 VDC. Datalogic strongly recommends a minimum 24 VDC supply voltage when using a master/slave configuration.

The power consumption of the different DX6400/DX6500 models is slightly different. In particular, when connecting several DX6400/DX6500 readers in a master/slave connection, the maximum power consumption for each scanner is 15 W. There is a power peak of about 20 W lasting 5..10 seconds caused by the motor starting.

2.6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layout refers to the system hardware configurations, but it also requires the correct setup of the software configuration parameters (see par. 3.2 for details). Other layouts require the use of DX6400/DX6500 scanner having a specific decoder base. The accessories and cables indicated in the following figures are Datalogic products. We suggest their use to guarantee the correct system functioning.

2.6.1 Point-to-Point

Using a Point-to-Point layout, the data is transmitted on the Main interface as well as on the Auxiliary interface. The Main interface can be selected for RS232 or RS485 full-duplex communications. Two different layouts are available according to the DX6400/DX6500 reader model used for the connection.

Master/Slave Models

When On-Line operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone. In the following case, the signal is passed to the DX6400/DX6500 by the C-BOX 100, which also supplies the system.

2.6.2 Pass Through

When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DX6400/DX6500 reader (all models) can be integrated in a network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface.

This connection mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. The DX6400/DX6500 transmits the messages received by its auxiliary interface (RS232 only) onto its main interface.

In this configuration a series of scanners can be connected together using RS232 on the main interface and all messages will be passed through this chain to the host. The reading phase of each scanner is independent from the others. In Pass Through connections each scanner is provided with its relative External Trigger (multi P.S.).

Applications can be implemented to connect a device such as a hand-held reader to the Auxiliary port for manual code reading capability.

For the RS232 connections the maximum cable length is 15 m (49.21 ft).

The DS4600A scanners represented in the following figures are configured in Pass Through mode.

2.6.3 RS232 Master/Slave

The RS232 master/slave connection is used to integrate a DX6400/DX6500 reader (all models) in a network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface.

The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary interfaces. Each slave scanner transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be transferred towards the master.

The master scanner is connected to the Host PC on the main RS232 serial interface through the C-BOX 100 (20 mA C.L. can also be used if the INT-30 accessory is installed).

In RS232 Master/Slave connections the External Trigger signal is unique to the system (single P.S.).

Be careful when assigning the slave address, since the number of the first Lonworks slave must be a progressive number with respect to the address number defined for the last slave scanner of the RS232 network. For example, if the RS232 network consists of Slave 1 and Slave 2, the address to be assigned to the first Lonworks slave scanner will be Slave 3 (not Slave 1).

2.6.5 Local Lonworks Network

A local Lonworks network allows electrically connecting a DX6400/DX6500 master reader up to 31 DX6400/DX6500 slaves. Actually, the maximum number of readers to be employed in the network depends on the system operating conditions, that is adopted operating mode and amount of data stream. For example, the On Line operating mode, (see Genius™ Help On-Line for further details), typically supports a maximum number of 8 slave readers.

Whenever creating your network, always keep in mind the following guidelines:

• the network electrically supports a maximum number of 31 DX6400/DX6500 readers and may extend up to 130 m (426.5 ft);

• the maximum number of DX6400/DX6500 readers supported depends on the type of power propagation adopted by the system (see par. 2.3.4 for details).

Contact Datalogic S.p.A., if your network requires a higher number of readers or in case the application throughput is very high.

When building the network, the DX6400/DX6500 master reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a cable connected to the 25 D-sub male connector. The local Lonworks 9-pin female connector connects the master reader to the first slave reader of the system, while the local Lonworks 9-pin male connector must be properly terminated by inserting the BTK-6000 terminator. The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the 9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000 terminator.

Single P.S.

The presence sensor is connected to the C-BOX 100 and is unique to the system. There is only a single reading phase and a single message from the master reader to the Local Host. The On-Line operating mode is used for this layout.

The following image shows a system consisting of four readers supplied by two different power units. The Master reader receives external signals (trigger, serial to host, etc.) and together with Slave 1 is powered by the first PG6000 through a C-BOX 100, while Slave 2 and Slave 3 are connected to another PG6000 through a C-BOX 100 and the 610X cable. Each PG6000 supplies up to 2 readers. CAB611X cable connects two different groups: Master, Slave 1 AND Slave 2, Slave 3. It does not propagate power but only network and synchronization signals.

Multi P.S.

In this layout, up to 7 DX6400/DX6500 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases, while the P.S. activating the master reader is managed by the CBOX 100.

The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well as its own to the Local Host through the C-BOX 100.

The following image shows a system consisting of four readers, where the fourth one must be connected to a dedicated power supply by means of a C-BOX 100, since a single C-BOX 100 can supply groups consisting of a maximum of 3 readers. This means that the cable (CAB611X) connecting two different groups, in this case the cable connecting Slave 2 and Slave 3, does not propagate power.

2.7 DX6400 FLASH™ DYNAMIC FOCUS

The DX6400 has an innovative linear motor designed to control the focus position of the scanner via software. This dynamic system, called FLASH

TM,

is able to move the focus

position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position.

The FLASHTM functionalities are programmed via the GENIUS™ tool (refer to the GENIUS™ Help On-Line for details) and can operate in the following modes:

• Fixed Mode

• Continuous Mode

• Triggered Mode

• D-Flash™ Mode

2.7.1 Fixed Mode

In Fixed mode, the focus is set in the wished position via software (expressed in cm/inches). This mode represents the basic Flash™ function, in which the focus is software adjusted before the reading application and its position are stored in the scanner decoder. This function is similar to the focus adjustment available for the DS6300 scanner with the great difference that the adjustment is performed via software through the GENIUS™ tool and not through a manual adjustment of an external screw.

Figure 50 – Flash™ Fixed Mode

2.7.2 Continuous Mode

In Continuous mode, the focus position is continuously moving from a minimum position to a maximum position with a defined frequency (f1 in the figure below). This Flash™ function allows exploiting the whole reading range of the current DX6400 when the object to be detected is big and slowly moving. Typical examples of applications for the Continuous mode are front side reading of big pallets, or reading on a fork lift truck.

Figure 51 – Flash™ Continuous Mode

Page 52

DX6400/DX6500

2.7.3 Triggered Mode

In Triggered mode, the focus position can be set depending on the received external input (photocell, barrier, serial message…). This mode represents the most traditional Flash™ function, since it requires photocells, barriers or a dedicated interface to the Host (PC or PLC).

Figure 52 – Flash™ Triggered Mode

2.7.4 D-FLASHTM Mode

IN D-Flash™ mode, the focus position can be set depending on the measured distance (Dn in the figure below) between the scanner and the scanned object. This is the most innovative and flexible function, that makes possible different software implementations. The D-FLASH solve the according to the specific application needs.

The DX6400/DX6500 keypad allows entering a menu where selecting one of the following functions:

• Internal Net

• Test Mode

The same settings may be performed by using the Genius™ program (see chapter 3 for details).

2.8.1 Internal Net

The Internal Net submenu has to be used when configuring the DX6400/DX6500 scanner within a master/slave network. It allows defining the scanner function (slave/master) within the network and, if configured as Slave, its address. To enter the Internal Net submenu and configure the scanner follow the given procedure:

1) Press and hold both the ▲ (up arrow) and ▼ (down arrow) keys for about 2 seconds to enter the Main menu;

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

The Wizard option is advised to low skilled users, since it shows a step by step scanner configuration. The parameters to be defined are the following:

- Barcode selection and definition;

- Operating mode selection and definition (see sub-paragraphs for further details);

- Digital Inputs/Outputs configuration;

- Hardware interface selection;

- Output data format configuration.

After defining the parameter values the following window appears allowing to complete the reader configuration as follows:

- Saving the configuration to disk;

- Switching to Advanced mode;

- Sending the configuration to the scanner.

Figure 55 - Genius™ Wizard Closing Window

Test Operating Mode

Figure 56 - Test Mode Selection

This operating mode causes the reader to be continuously activated allowing to verify its reading features and its reading position with respect to the barcode. For this reason, it is particularly advised during the installation phase of the reader. After 100 scan, the values relative to an internal counter and the decoded code are displayed and transmitted on the serial interface. The counter reports the percentage of good reads of the label.

Page 56

DX6400/DX6500

On Line Operating Mode

Figure 57 - On Line Mode Selection

This operating mode causes the reader to be connected to an external Presence Sensor using EXT TRIG+ and EXT TRIG- inputs. During the active phase of the presence sensor, the DX6400/DX6500 reader tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. In case the decoding phase is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. Otherwise, a no read message is sent.

Automatic Operating Mode

Figure 58 - Automatic Mode Selection

This operating mode does not require the connection to an external Presence Sensor. When working in this mode the reader is continuously scanning, while the reading phase is activated each time a barcode enters the reader reading zone. The reader stops reading after an N number of scans without a code. Barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. In case of a failed reading phase no message is sent to the host computer.

READING FEATURES

4 READING FEATURES

4.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION (ACR™ 3)

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 63 – 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 DX6400/DX6500 is able to “reconstruct” the barcode. A typical set of partial scans is shown in the figure below:

Code Direction

Figure 64 – 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.

4.2 PACKTRACK™

PackTrack™ is a patented operating mode for Datalogic Omni-Directional Reading Stations used to read and correctly assign codes read on different packs when placed in the scanner Reading Area at the same time. Working in PackTrack™ mode requires the presence of an encoder and a presence sensor to track the moving packs. All PackTrack™ functionalities are programmed via the GENIUS™ tool (refer to the GENIUS™ Help On-Line for details).

In fact, in the following example, the codes of two or more consecutive packs are found at the same time in the scanner reading area. Therefore, the condition occurs where, in the sequence of the two packs, the code of the second pack is read first, just before the code of the previous pack. A system without PackTrack™ would assign the code of the second pack to first pack and vice versa, thus causing a gross error in sortation.

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 CLEANING

Clean the laser beam output window (Figure 1, 7) periodically for correct operation of the scanner.

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 DX6400/DX6500 when the scanner is turned off or at least when the laser beam is not active.

WARNING

5.2 AUTOMATIC SCANNER REPLACEMENT

Principally used for PackTrack configurations, the ASR procedure allows restoring system functioning automatically after one or more Slave scanners are replaced in a Master/Slave Lonworks network.

GLOSSARY

ACR™ 3

Each version of the base has the powerful code reconstruction technology (ACR™ 3). The new third 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.

CD SQUARE™

CD SQUARE™ provides useful information on label position and object shape elaborated during the barcode reading phase. This innovative technology identifies the area in which the code is located and measures the code distance from the scanner.

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. 0. 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.

EEPROM

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An on-board non-volatile memory chip.

FLASH™

FLASH

is the new dynamic focusing system implemented in the DX6400. FLASH to move the focus position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position, in less than 10 msec. In typical applications, where a DOF <1 meter is required, the focus position is adjusted in 4 msec.

is able

Page 80

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.

PackTrack™

PackTrack™ is a Datalogic patented parcel tracking system which improves the reading features in omnidirectional stations. In particular, PackTrack™ manages 6-sided reading systems when it is impossible to detect the real position of the code on the parcel, thus overcoming the need for external accessories essential in traditional tracking systems.

Parameter

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

Pitch

Rotation of a code pattern about the X-axis. The normal distance between center line or adjacent characters. See pars. 0.

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.

Resolution

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

RS232

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

Page 81

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. 0.

Step-a-Head™

Step-a-Head™ makes it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base independently from each other. As a result of the Step-a-Head™, the DX6400/DX6500 can always be installed in the ideal position. It is possible to change the orientation of the connector panel while the laser window remains in the desired position.

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. 0.

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.
