CHAPTER 1GETTING STARTED

Overview

CAUTION

The DS457-XX20004ZZWW fixed-mount imager is specifically designed for standalone applications and OEM applications. The imager is extremely compact, provides easy and flexible integration into a host device, and offers high-performance imaging on 1D and 2D bar codes. The DS457 is ideal for a wide variety of uses: zero-footprint point-of-sale, kiosks, embedded diagnostic equipment, conveyor belts, and many more.

Theory of Operation

During image capture:

1. The image sensor array in the embedded SE4500 imaging engine captures an image of the bar code

through the engine’s optical lens. If necessary, the engine automatically adjusts illumination, exposure, and other parameters to obtain the best quality image.

2. The imaging engine sends the image to the DS457 CPU.

3. The DS457 CPU processes the image to identify the target bar code(s), decodes them, and transmits the

decoded data to the host.

Set various parameters provided in this guide to adjust the performance of the DS457 to match the application or desired usage profile.

DS457 Block Diagram Descriptions

SE4500 Imaging Engine - The SE4500 imaging engine captures 8-bit gray scale WVGA images at up to 60 fps, which are sent uncompressed to a companion board for processing. The engine uses a red laser for intuitive aiming and features LED illumination. The engine is available in two focusing configurations, providing a choice between high resolution and longer depth of field.

DS457 Decoder/Interface Board - The decoder/interface board is a companion decoder module for the SE4500 imaging engine, which controls the engine, receives images, decodes 1D and 2D symbologies, and performs various image processing tasks. The board controls a beeper and red and green LEDs for acoustic and visual feedback, respectively. It also provides imaging for an external trigger and external beeper via the DB9 connector. The board supports asynchronous serial (the standard Symbol Simple Serial Interface/SSI command set) and SNAPI (Symbol Native API) interfaces, as well as a variety of other USB and RS-232 host interfaces.

DB9 - The DB9 connector provides an outlet for the various interface signals used between the DS457 and the host. It also provides power to the unit.

DS457 Decoder/Interface Board

Atmel AT91SAM9G20 Processor

The digital system is built on an Atmel AT91SAM9G20, a RISC processor based on ARM v5TEJ architecture. The major features of the core are:

•

CPU clock speed up to 400 MHz with external LP SDRAM bus speed of 133 MHz

•

32 KB instruction/32 KB data cache, 256 KB instruction cache, 32 KB internal SRAM

Power Management

The DS457 decoder/interface board has various power management options depending on the host interface.

•

USB (SNAPI, USB HID Keyboard, etc.) - The DS457 automatically manages its power usage, including

USB suspend mode. Additionally, when drawing power from the USB bus, the DS457 does not exceed the USB limit of 500 mA.

•

SSI or RS-232 - When using SSI or any RS-232 host interface, the DS457 uses one of the following power

modes. See Power Mode (RS-232 Hosts Only) on page 6-15.

• Continuous Power: The DS457 is fully awake and running, even when not in a decode session.

• Low Power (default): The DS457 draws less current at idle than when in Continuous Power mode.

CHAPTER 2INSTALLATION

Overview

This chapter provides information on unpacking, mounting, and installing the imager.

Unpacking

Remove the DS457 from its packing and inspect for damage. If the imager is damaged, call Zebra Global Customer Support on page xix.

KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment needs to be returned for servicing.

Mounting

There are two M3 x .5 tapped holes on the bottom of the DS457 housing for mounting. The following figures provide the mounting dimensions.

NOTE

Do not use screws that penetrate more than 3.5 mm into the bottom mousing of the DS457 since this is the maximum depth of the useful thread.

Mounting the Imager on the Gooseneck Stand

To mount the imager on the optional gooseneck stand:

1. Mount the DS457 to the mount plate. Align the imager so its window faces the short edge of the plate, and

its two threaded inserts align with the stand’s two mounting holes that are closest to the edge of the plastic.

Note that the imager requires only two screws for mounting.

2. Secure the imager to the stand using the two screws provided with the stand.

Assembling the Stand

1. Unscrew the wingnut

from the bottom of the one-piece mount.

2. Fit the bottom of the neck piece into the opening on the top of the stand base.

3. Tighten the wingnut underneath the base to secure the cup and neck piece (see the note below).

4. Bend the neck to the desired position for scanning.

NOTE

Before tightening the wingnut under the base, ensure that the flat areas on the flexible neck fit securely in the grooves in the base.

Mounting the Stand (optional)

You can attach the base of the stand to a flat surface using two screws or double-sided tape (not provided).

Screw Mount

1. Position the assembled base on a flat surface.

2. Screw one #10 wood screw into each screw-mount hole until the base of the stand is secure.

Tape Mount

1. Peel the paper liner off one side of each piece of tape and place the sticky surface over each of the three

rectangular tape areas.

2. Peel the paper liner off the exposed sides of each piece of tape and press the stand on a flat surface until

it is secure.
