7.2.2 Picket-Fence Mode 
If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 91), the number of effective scans is given 
by the following formula: 
SN = [((FW-LW)/LS) 
*
 SS] -2  Where: 
SN =  number of effective scans 
  FW =  reading field width (in mm) 
  LW =  label width (in mm) 
  LS  =  label movement speed (in mm/s) 
 SS = scans per second 
Figure 91 - "Picket-Fence" Scanning Mode 
For example, for a 60 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is 160 mm 
wide at a 2000 mm/s speed, the DS4800 (800 scans per sec.), performs: 
[((160-60)/2000) 
* 
800] - 2 = 38 effective scans
