Datalogic Scanning DS4600A User Manual

INTRODUCTION 

 
 

 
The DS4600A is a compact laser scanner complete with decoder designed and 
produced to be a flexible and affordable solution for all medium range materials 
handling applications. 
 

A Standard Application Program is factory-loaded onto the DS4600A. This program 
controls barcode reading, serial port interfacing, data formatting and many other 
operating and control parameters. 
 
It is completely user configurable from a host computer using the WinHost interface 
utility program provided on CD with the scanner or using the Host Mode 
programming procedure, by ESC sequences via the serial interface. 
 
There are four different programmable operating modes to suit various barcode 
reading system requirements. Included in these is a test mode to verify the reading 
features and exact positioning of the scanner without using external tools. 
 

If your requirements are not met by the Standard Application Program, Custom 
Application Programs can be developed by your local Datalogic distributor.
