1.3.1 Oscillating Mirror Models

Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly
in picket fence applications.
The oscillating mirror is placed in front of the reading aperture of the DS8100A scanner to
deflect the laser beam. As the mirror moves, this sweeping function of the laser beam allows
the coverage of a larger area to locate the barcodes. The code can also be reconstructed as
the beam sweeps over it.
The aperture angle is symmetrical and the scan line perpendicular to the scanner is at 0° as
shown in the figure below.
