INTRODUCTION
2.8 OSCILLATING MIRROR MODELS
The DS5100 OM is completely software controlled and software programmable through
Genius which allows adjusting the oscillating frequency and the minimum and maximum
oscillation angles of two separate reading zones.
When the oscillating mirror is programmed to read barcode labels at small angles, position
the reader to assure at least 15° for the Skew angle. This angle refers to the most inclined
or external laser line, so that all other laser lines assure more than 15° Skew. This avoids the
direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the reader.
Otherwise, the scanner can be mounted at an angle of inclination of 15° in order to attain
symmetrical deflection ranges.
In the above case, the zone where the scan line is perpendicular to the reflecting surface
corresponds to a neutral zone at the center of the reading field.
NOTE: By limiting the raster width to the minimum necessary, the number of
scans on the reading surface is increased.
