1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DX6400 is a high performance laser scanner in a complete range of industrial bar code
readers offering an innovative and modular solution in terms of reading performance,
connectivity and maintenance, in addition to a completely new hardware and software
platform.
The DX6400 has been specifically designed for simple installation, easy use and flexibility.
An innovative mechanical

Step-a-Head feature make it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base
independently from each other. Step-a-Head
the ideal position, by modifying the orientation of the connector panel while leaving the laser
window in the desired position. The need for space is minimized and installation is easier.
The DX6400 has an innovative linear motor designed to control the focus position of the
scanner via software. This dynamic system, called FLASH
position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position, in less than 10 msec.
In typical applications, where a DOF <1 meter is required, the focus position is adjusted in 4
msec.
The DX6400 can read all most popular barcodes even in the most difficult conditions, thanks
to a new generation decoder with Intel XScale CPU and code reconstruction technology
(ACR™ 4).
Great attention has been given to built-in connectivity for market standards. Lonworks, and
Ethernet bus have been integrated in dedicated versions of the decoder base.
Some of the main features of DX6400 are listed below:
•
scanning speed up to 750 scans/sec per scan line (total 1500 scans/sec);
•
2 serial communication interfaces
•
reading all popular codes;
•
supply voltage from 15 to 30 Vdc;
•
electrical connection through connectors;
•
high speed Lonworks connectivity for Master/Slave layout;
•
