IThe Model S416 Scanner and Dora-label developed by SS is
a state—of—the—art data gathering and inspection system that
combines sophisticated Interactive Identification (F)
technology in a compact form factor. This unique synergy allows
the S416 and Dura-label system to integrate seamlessly into —
and significantly increase productivity for — a wide range of
applications and environments,
The S416 and Dura-label system consists of the following
components:
0 An 5416 that writes information to and reads information
from Burn—labels using a read/ write head (antxmna). The
S416 conforms to FCC part 15 specifications and can operate
with 1 to 6 externally connected antennas. For more
information, see ”histnScan Model 5416 Scanner” on page
Error! Bookmark not defined“
4» Dora-labels that contain information programmed by the
9416. These reusable tag are designed to store information
under extremely harsh environments without requiring a
battery, and can store a permanent record of multiple events
and transactions.
@ Data stoned in SCS Bum-labels can be Mic-protected by
enabling the SCS Dara—label’s write-protect bit.
Communications betWeen the S416 and Dora-labels are
conducted using a revolutionary, two-way technology called ii,
which provides superior advantages over conventional
communication methods. The specific data being communicated,

Introduction
and the amount of interaction you have with the S416 and Dura~
labels, is determined by your application
For more information on i2 technology, refer m “i2 Advantages,"
below.
i1 Advantages
Conventional clam-gathering systems such as but code readers
and Radio Frequency Identification products use one-way
communication A sensor reads informatim from n device,
without any interaction betwsen the two devices.
Moreover, bar code systems are subject to Iine-of-sight
limitatitms. As a result, airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt,
oil, and mist, as well as label damage and objects outside the line
of sight, result in ineffiu'ent and erroneous faults
The SCS S416 and Dun-label system overcomes
fliese restrictions by using slate-of-Ihe—art i2
technology. iz technology allows the S416 and Dura-
label tn conduct ongoing two-way communications
that are not rstricted by lined-sight constraints.

label
e Collective or selective data to be read from multiple Dura—
labels without requiring sorting or unpacking.
0 Data to be written into a Dun-label.
0 Classes of Dara-labels to be filtered according to user-
detined criteria.
i2 technology employs a superior interrogation feature that
enables applications to uniquely identify all Dina-labels in the
scan field, without misidentification or identifying the same
Dura~label multiple times.
i2 technology also uses a robust protocol that maintains a
uniform per-Dura-label scan time, regardless of the number of
Dura-labels in the scan field. The protocol provides a flexible
software application interface that can be customized to the
specific needs of particular industrim and markets.
These unparalleled capabilities make the S416 and Dun-label
system the ideal solution for asset and document mamgement,
inventory control, ticketing. and other high-volume applications
and environments.

he S416 and Duran-label system’s sophisticated data
T gathering and inspection capabilities, combined with its
flexible design, make it a powerful solution for improved
productivity and quality control
The ability in) program data into and retrieve data from SCS
Dun-labels makes the 5416 and Dina-label system ideal for
portable database applications. SCS Dara-label technology
prevents data from being accessed, modified, or deleted by
unauthorized individuals. It also provides fast read times and
places 155 overhead on file Host computer.
The following sections dmcribe a few of the applications that can
benefit from the S416 and Dura-label system.
Intelligent Object Sensing
The S416 and Dun-label system is ideally suited for portable
database applications, where information needs tn be retrieved
from a large quantity of items, or from selectlve items that meet
user-defined criteria, quickly and efficiently
For example, an industrial laundry, health-care facility, or other
institution that processes large numbers of textiles may need to
obtain a quick count of all soiled laundry lying on a floor or all
laundered clothing hanging neatly on hangers.
Page 9
Aftplicafions
Albematively, an institution may need In obiain informalion
from only certain articls of clothing, such as:
0 Individual serial numbers.
6 The number of all size 12 shirts that have been laundered.
0 The number of tims a shirt has been washed.
0 The name of the shirt manufacturerl
0 The name of Ihe perscn who wears the shirt.
0 A department budget number assigned to the shin.
As Figure 3 shows, the characterizing of objects can be
accomplished by aliaching a Dura~label to each cldthing item
that is h) be processed or detected. The size of the Dun-label and
the system's non-line-of-sight capabilities allow flexible
placement of the Dun-label. The system can then be designed to
retum informah'on about all textiles within a particular area, or
only the items that meet specific requirememn

Applications
Inventory Assessment
The SCS 5416 and Dora-labels are ideal for porlable database
applications involving inventory assessment
For example, a company shipping products to various
distributors across the country may want an inventory of all
items leaving the factory. Information such as model number,
serial number, distributor name and location, and shipping date
may need to be obtained before each product is loaded onto a
truck for delivery to distributors.
Using an 5416 and Dun-label system, the appropriate
information can be programmed into Dun-labels, whinh are
mounted on the boxes containing the product. The 5416 can then
retrieve the Mammalian from the Dun-label before the products
load onto delivery trucks. Figure 4 illustrates this application
using an S416 equipped with four antennas.

Manufacturing Applications
Manufacturing Appllcatlons
Manufacturing environments frequently require information at
various steps in a product’s production cycle. For example, one
step in the manufacturing process may require product
assembly, serial number, and diagnostic information A later step
may require test results after an object has gone through various
diagnostics, or a count of the number of times an operation has
been performed.
These environments typically use expensive mainframe
computers and costly data communication networks to transfer
this information between locations in the manufacturing prom»).
Using an 5416 and Dara-label system, an efficient, cast-effective
portable database solution can be designed to obtain the
neomsary information from individual products as fliey pass
each manufacturing cycle
In Figure 5, for example, unique production information is
obtained from plastic-framed fax machines at each critical point
in the manufacturing process, without requiring expensive
mainframe computers and data comunication networks.
Because the 5416 and Dura-label system allows non-line-of-sight
detection, the system can be positioned to accommodate today/s
complicated fixturing‘
As a result, expenses are reduced significantly and inaccuracies
resulting from human or system errors are completely
eliminated. The manual paperwork that typically accompanies
the manufacturing procms is also eliminated, streamlining
production.

Installing Dura-Iabels
Dun-labels have a diminutive form factm- that allows them to be
installed in areas that cannot accommodate conventional
read/write tags. In addition, Dun-labels can communicate with
the 5416 without having to be in the lined-sight Th'm unique
combination provides tremendous flexibility when determining
a location for placing Dun-labels.
In textile applications, for example, Dun-labels can be itserted
into the front tail of a shirt or the waistline of pants using a heat
seal patch and a heat press. Because the S416 and Dun-label
system does not require line-of-sight scanning, tile Dura-label
does not have to be visible to the 5416.
When considering locations for installing Dun-labels, make sure
they are within 18 inches of the 8416 antenna for at least 10
milliseconds, so data can write to or be read from the Dura-labeL
Avoid locations where metal or water is present, because radio-
frequency communication does not penetrate metal and is
absorbed by water.
Loading Your Application
After you install the S416 and Dun-labels according to the
instructions in this chapter, you can load your application and
begin writing information to and reading it from the Dun-labels.
Your application will determine the amount of interaction you
have with the S416 and Dun-labels.

RF
QOHHKINICATIONJ
n general, devices that communicate using radio frequencies,
such as your 5416 and Dun-label system. can be sensitive in
signal interference and signal attenuation This chapter
provides tips for optimizing radio-frequency (RF)
communications with you: 5416 and Dina-labels.
Topins in this chapter include
# Signal interference ~see page 30.
0 Signal attenuah'onf see page 314
0 Optimizing performance—see page 31.
Page 29
R15 Communications
Signal Interference
Signal interference is RF signals that interfere with the
information being exchanged between the Dara-label and the
S416. Signal interference can severely diminish the 3116's ability
to write informah'on to and read it from Dara-labels. The
Activity/ Error LED on the S416 flickers constantly if the S416
dawns signal interference.
The source of the interfering signals may be:
6 An RF system, such as an RF local—area network or another
S416 and Dura—label system. located close to your 5416 and
Dura~label system.
6 Security gates, garage doors, or similar devices that emit RF
signals.
0 Appliances such as microwave ovens.
0 Multiple Dun-labels that reside close erwugh so that both
are located within the scan field at the same time. In this
case, rearrange the antenna to read each Dara-label
individually.
Dara-labels with similar orientations, placed within two
inches of each other, will have their read distanm diminished
by 4096.
The effects of the first three noise scares are localized and can
be eliminated by relocating the 5416 or its antennas. The effects
of the fourth noise source can be resolved by pladng Burs-labels
a sufficient distance from each other.
The 5416 and Dara-label system's communication capabilities
are significantly reduced when the noise level perceived by the
system exceeds the strength of signals received
Page 30
DRAFT
Signal AttenuatiorVReflectiom
Signal Attenuation/Reflections
Signal attenuation is the loss of signal strength that occurs
naturally over distances, but which can also be caused by RF
barriers in the signal path.
Examples of such barriers include:
# Enclosed locations that have concrete walls, floors, and
ceilings.
0 Metal surfaces surrounding the antenna or Dun-label.
0 Water or other fluids surrounding the antenna or Dun-label.
Almost every object (furniture, partih'ons, and people) in the
path of a signal causes some degree of attenuation. What effects
there are can be minimized by careful antenna placement
The rdlecfinn from metal or metallic surfacs behind the Dura-
label can also affect signal attenuation. In some cases, this may
increase the read distance slightly, while inducing intermittent
”dead” spots within the read field that permit little or no
communication between the $416 and Dura-labeL
Optimizing Performance
While it is not possible to predict how the S416 and Dura-label
system will perform in any given environment, observing the
following guideline will help optimize performance in your
environments and applications:
0 Carefully plan the placement of the S416 antenna. The
antenna can be extended approximately five feet from the
5416. If your applications require longer distances, move the
5416 to an appropriate location.
Page 31
DRAFT
RF Communications
The $416 antenna should never be removed, altered, or
modified except by an authorized technician Any
unauthorized antenna modifications can void your warranty
0 Consider the environments RF characteristics, including
construction materials, office plan (closed or open), and the
prsence of windows and ducting The RF field pattern, and
the reading distance, may be influenced by nearby metal
objects, such as appliances, equipment, metal wall framing,
and wire coat hangers.
0 Ensure that the S416 anthems are not pointed directly at
fluorescent lighting.
0 Ensure that objects containing Dora-labels are no more than
18 inches from the antenna and remain in the scan field for at
least 10 milliseconds.
0 To avoid mutual hrterference when installing more than one
Bum-label in the same object, allow a sufficient distance
between the Dun-labels. The maximum interference occurs
when Dun-labels within the same object are within 2 inches
of each other and nearly equidistant from the S416 antenna
0 Never apply chemicals to the antenna. Certain chemicals,
such as alcohol, may have little or no effect at room
temperature, but may become corrosive at higher
temperatures.
