5.1 CLEANING

Clean the laser beam output window (Figure A, 7) periodically for correct operation of the
scanner.
Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance.
Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments.
Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.
Clean the window of the DS6400 when
least when the laser beam is not active.
WARNING

5.2 AUTOMATIC SCANNER REPLACEMENT (ASR)

The Datalogic Automatic Scanner Replacement (ASR) procedure allows restoring system
fu nctioning automatically after one or more scanners are replaced in a Master/Slave
Lonworks network.
T he ASR procedure is principally used for PackTrack™ configurations, since it restores the
PackTrack™ calibration from the slave scanner to be substituted to the new scanner.
T he Master must be prepared at the time of installation in order for this procedure to work
c orrectly.

5.2.1 ASR Network Configuration

1. On the Master scanner, check the Modify & Backu
Configuration parameter in Genius™ and configure the Lonworks Slave Scanner
Common Parameters (Code and Reconstruction Parameters).
2 . Enable the ASR procedure through the Enable A.S.R. parameter in the Master
configuration.
3. Send the configura
R eading Symbologies, Reconstruction parameters and store all the Slave PackTrack™
calibration tables.
Now the Slave scanners are configured through the Master and the ASR procedure is
implemented.
4. Save this configuration to file (.ddc).
tion to the Master EEPROM to force the Slave Operating Mode, Code
the scanner is turned off or at
