4.3 PERFORMANCE 
The DS2100N scanner is available in different versions according to the reading 
performance. 
Version Max Code Resolution Speed 
 mm (mils) scans/s 
12X0  0.20 (8)  500 to 800 
12X4  0.15 (6)  800 to 1000
22X0  0.15 (6)  500 to 800 
22X4  0.12 (5)  800 to 1000
Version Reading Distance 
12X0  40 mm (1.6 in) - 300 mm (11.8 in) on 0.50 mm (20 mils) codes 
12X4  50 mm (1.8 in) - 310 mm (11.8 in) on 0.50 mm (20 mils) codes 
22X0  30 mm (1.2 in) - 90 mm (3.5 in) on 0.30 mm (12 mils) codes 
22X4  45 mm (1.8 in) - 100 mm (3.9 in) on 0.20 mm (8 mils) codes 
Refer to the diagrams given in par. 3.4 for further details on the reading features. They are 
taken on various resolution sample codes at a 25 °C ambient temperature, depending on the 
conditions in the notes under the diagrams. 
4.3.1 Raster 
Raster versions are available. If standard devices do not satisfy specific requirements, 
contact your nearest Datalogic distributor, supplying code samples, to obtain complete 
information on the reading possibilities. 
The reading characteristics for the raster version is given in the table below. The distance 
between the top and bottom scan lines is given at different reading distances measured from 
the laser beam output window. 
Reading Distance
