Preface

The Datalogic DLL2020-WO is a high performance omni-directional scanner, which
provides optimal scanning conditions. The DLL2020-WO shares the same quality of
the GOLDRUSH

TM

polygon and Scantium decoder chip as Datalogic’s popular Hunter
H-3010, Pollux P-4010 and Castor C-5010 scanners. Together with its compact and
ergonomic design, operator fatique and other discomforts are less then any
competitive omni-directional scanner.

These characteristics make the DLL2020-WO especially suitable for installation in
small counters such as in drugstores, pharmacies, department stores, tobacconists,
kiosks, petrol stations, and convenience stores.

The omni-directional scan field of the DLL2020-WO generates a scan pattern of
16 lines, ensuring high performance scanning. Featuring an unequalled scan rate of
800 scans per second, the DLL2020-WO is an aggressive scanner.

Barcodes are read simply on presentation to the scanner window. However, the
ergonomic design of DLL2020-WO rubber sleeve, which fits naturally in the hand,
makes the unit easy to pick up when larger or heavier products have to be scanned.

The scanner con be installed ‘free-standing’ on a counter surface using its protective
rubber sleeve or without the sleeve, flush or surface fixed to check-out furniture,
making for a very neat installation.

The DLL2020-WO can also be supplied in different colours to match with corporate/­retail designs and schemes thus enhancing the check-out environment even further.

This manual contains two chapters and three appendices. The first chapter describes
the DLL2020-WO scanner, its general features as well as the way in which it can be
used. The precise instructions for installing the scanner are listed in the second
chapter. Default settings can be changed using the bar code labels in the
Configuration Guide supplied with the scanner. Appendix A shows the connector types
of the scanner. Technical specifications of the DLL2020-WO can be found in Appendix
B. Refer to Appendix C for troubleshooting if the scanner is not working properly.

packing materials. Refer to the packing list in order to ensure that you
have received all the items ordered. Visually inspect the scanner and
accessories for any visible traces of damage. Refer to the figure in
paragraph 1.3 to locate the interface label and verify if the scanner
interface corresponds with the host system interface. Immediately contact
your supplier if anything appears to be damaged, or if the supported
interface does not correspond with the host system interface.

2 The DLL2020-WO

The various parts of the DLL2020-WO are:

Sleep mode switch If a sleep mode time-out has been programmed,

the scanner can be reactivated by pressing this
switch. The sleep-mode feature can be program­med by means of the menu labels in the
Configuration Guide.

NOTE: The default value for the sleep mode

time-out is set to 30 minutes. When the
scanner is in sleep mode, the LED is
intermittently flashing red.

Red LED The red LED indicates that the scanner is ready to

read a bar code.

Green LED The green LED indicates a good read.

Good read buzzer The buzzer sounds whenever data have been

correctly read. The frequency can be adjusted by
means of the menu labels from the Configuration
Guide.

Rubber sleeve A rubber sleeve encloses the scanner. The sleeve

protects the scanner, and takes care that it does
not slide when installed ‘free-standing’ on a counter
surface. Furthermore, its ergonomic design makes
the unit easy to pick up; it fits naturally in the hand.

Detachable handle A handle can be attached to the scanner,

depending on the preference of the user. The
handle makes the scanner easy to pick up, in case
large or heavy products need to be scanned.

1.2 Scanning bar codes with the DLL2020-WO

The DLL2020-WO is an omnidirectional scanner featuring a 4-directional
scan field with a 16-lines scan pattern. Bar codes can easily be read by
presenting them to the scanner. The scan volume is illustrated in the
figure above. The optimal reading zone lies between 3 and 15 cm from
the scanner window. However, bar codes can still be read up to 25 cm
(10 inch) from the scanner window.
