2.4.2 Step-Ladder Applications
In Step-Ladder reading applications scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction
(Figure 11). For linear barcode reading, this has the advantage of being insensitive to
blurring and code resolu
tion since the code elements remain the same between consecutive
scans.
The number of scans performed on the code and therefore the decoding capability is
influenced by the following parameters:
number of scans per second (320 scans/sec. max)
line speed (code motion) see par. 2.4.1
label
dimensions
At least 5 scans during the code passage should be allowed to ensure a successful read.
The number of effective scans performed by the reader in step-ladder is given by the
following formula:
SN = [(LH/LS)
*
SS] – 2 Where: SN = number of effective scans
LH = label height (in mm)
LS = line speed in (mm/s)
SS = number of scans per second
Figure 11 - "Step-Ladder" Reading
Example:
The TC1200 (320 scans/sec.), for a 25 mm high code moving at a line speed of 500 mm/s
performs:
[(25/500)
*
320] - 2 = 14 effective scans.
