The DS2100N uses a solid-state laser diode as a light source; the light emitted has a
wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section "Safety Precautions" at the
beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, the reader is therefore suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.
A standard application program is factory-loaded onto the
DS2100N. This program controls barcode reading, serial port
interfacing, data formatting and many other operating and control
parameters.
It is completely configurable from a host computer through the
Genius™ utility program provided on CD with the scanner, or via
the serial interface (Genius™ based Host Mode Programming).
If the Standard Application Program does not meet your
requirements, please contact your local Datalogic distributor.
