SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS4300 scanner.
Standard Regulations
This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the
laser beam mom entarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring
at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun.
Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective
surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
This product conform s to the applicable requirements of both IEC 825-1 and
CDRH 21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. T he s canner is c lass ified as
a Class 2 laser product accor ding to IEC 825-1 regulations and as a Class II
laser product according to CDRH regulations.
There is a safety device which allows the laser to be switched on only if the
motor is rotating above the threshold for its correct scanning speed.
The laser beam can be s witched off through a sof tware command ( see also
“Beam Shutter” in the WinHost Help On Line).
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustm ents or performance of
procedures other than those spec ified herein may
result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.
The laser light is visible to the hum an eye and is emitted f rom the window on
the front of the scanner (Figure A/B,
viii
).

1 GENERAL FEATURES
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The DS4300 is a compact laser scanner complete with decoder which
employs Datalogic’s powerful
technology. It was designed to satisfy the most demanding requirements
associated with omni-directional sc anning, reading of non-oriented barcode
labels, and reading of poorly printed or damaged labels.
Standard Application Program
A Standard Application Program is factory-loaded onto the DS4300. This
program controls barc ode r eading, ser ial port inter f ac ing, data f or matting and
many other operating and control parameters.
It is completely user configurable from a host com puter using the WinHost
interface utility program provided on diskette with the scanner or using the
Host Mode programming procedure, by ESC sequences via the serial
interface.
ACR™
(Advanced Code Reconstruction)
There are four different programmable operating modes to suit various
barcode reading system requirements. Included in these is a test mode to
verify the reading features and exact positioning of the s canner without using
external tools.
Programmability
If your requirements are not met by the Standard Application Program,
Custom Application Programs can be developed by your local Datalogic
distributor.

2.6 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 WinHost Help On Line.
2.6.1 Point-to-Point
In this layout the data is transm itted to the Host on the main serial interf ace.
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.

2.6.3 RS232 Master/Slave
The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several
scanners to build either an omni- directional or a multi-sided r eading 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 DS4300 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 main serial interface.
The possible main interface types for the Master scanner are RS232 or
RS485. (20 mA C.L. can also be used if the INT-24 accessory is installed).
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 how ever it is not necessary to bring t he external
trigger signal to the Slave scanners.
The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.

The RS485 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several
scanners to build either an omni- directional or a multi-sided r eading system;
there can be one master and up to 5 slaves connected together.
The Slave scanners are connected together using RS485 half-duplex on the
main serial interface. Every Slave scanner mus t have a multidrop addres s in
the range 0-4.
The Master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232 auxiliary
serial interface.
The External Trigger s ignal 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 necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners.
The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.

3 READING FEATURES
3.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION
The traditional way of barcode reading could be called "Linear Reading". In
this case, the laser beam cr osses the barcode symbol from its beginning to
its end as shown in Figure 3.1.
Laser Beam
Figure 3.1 - Linear reading
In “Advanced Code Reconstruction” m ode, it is no longer necessary for the
laser beam to cross the label from the start to the end. W ith just a set of
partial scans on the label (obtained using the m otion of the label itself), the
DS4300 is able to "reconstruct" the barcode. A typical set of partial scans is
shown in Figure 3.2.
Code Direction
Figure 3.2 - 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.

3.1.1 Tilt Angle for Advanced Code Reconstruction
The most important parameter in Advanced Code Reconstruction is the
value of the maximum tilt angle (α maximum) under which the code
reconstruction process is still possible.
We def ine the Tilt angle as the angle (α) between the laser beam and a line
parallel to the barcode label, as shown in Figure 3.3.

The formulas to calculate α maximum depend on var ious parameters such
as: label height, number of sc ans per second, code motion speed, etc. To
obtain α maximum for your application, please contact your Datalogic
representative.
You must remember that the decoder will be able to read the label with a tilt
angle between + α max and - α max as shown in Figure 3.4 (the shaded
zones are the NO READ zones).

3.2 DECODING CAPACITY IN LINEAR MODE
When in Linear Reading mode, the number of reads performed by the
DS4300 and therefore the decoding capacity, 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.
3.2.1 Step Ladder Mode

moving at LS speed
DS4300
LH
Laser Beam
Figure 3.5 - "Step Ladder" scanning mode
If scanning is perpendicular to the c ode motion direction (Figure 3.5 - "step
ladder" mode), the number of effective scans performed by the reader is
given by the following formula:
SN = [(LH/LS) * SS] - 2
These symbols signify:
SN = number of effective scans
LH = label height (in mm)
LS = label movement speed (in mm/s)
SS = number of scans per second
Reading Features -
3.3
DS4300 DATALOGIC
For example, the DS4300 (800 scans /sec.), for a 25 m m high code m oving
at 1250 mm/s performs:
[(25/1250) * 800] - 2 = 14 effective scans.
3.2.2 Picket Fence Mode

moving at LS speed
DS4300
Figure 3.6 - "Picket Fence" scanning mode
LW
FW
If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 3.6 - "pick et fence" m ode),
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 m m wide code moving in a point where the reading
field is 200 mm wide at a 2000 mm/s speed, the DS4300 (800 scans per
sec.), performs:
[((200-100)/2000) * 800] - 2 = 38 scans

3.3 PERFORMANCE
The DS4300 scanner reads codes with densities from 0.20 mm (8 mils) to
1.00 mm (40 m ils) in the zone between 50 mm (1.9 in) and 400 m m ( 15.7 in)
from the emission window.
DS4300 can be optimized for reading high density codes (between 0.20 mm
(8 mils) and 0.30 mm (12 mils) by configuring the Code Resolution parameter
(see WinHost Help On Line).
Refer to the diagrams given in paragraph 3.4 for further details on the
reading features. These diagrams are taken on various resolution sample
codes at a 25 °C ambient temperature, depending on the conditions in the
notes under each diagram.
If standard devices do not satisf y specific r equirem ents, c ontact your nearest
Datalogic distributor, supplying code samples, to obtain com plete inform ation
on the reading possibilities.
