  • Page 17: Introduction

    1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The DS8100A scanner is a barcode reader complete with decoder designed to provide an innovative and high performance solution in omnidirectional reading applications by combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic solid experience in the material handling sector.
  • Page 18 • Flexibility The high frequency laser diode modulation system guarantees complete immunity to ambient light and allows installation of the DS8100A in any working area. Reading parcels on conveyors • As a result of the ASTRA™ multiple laser technology, DS8100A gives a great real time DOF even on high speed conveyors.

  • Page 19: Model Description

    Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly in picket fence applications. The oscillating mirror is placed in front of the reading aperture of the DS8100A scanner to deflect the laser beam. As the mirror moves, this sweeping function of the laser beam allows the coverage of a larger area to locate the barcodes.
