24.0 - CR3600 DPM
DPM (Direct Part Marks such as Dot Peen and Laser-Etched) reading is enabled by default in CR3600 DPM readers.
Dot Peen and Laser-Etched Reading
Dot Peen and Laser-Etched reading is the default DPM setting. This will also read common 1D/2D printed barcodes.
Dot Peen Barcode Reading
If reading Dot Peen barcodes only, scan the DPM (Dot Peen Only) On configuration barcode to optimize reading for that barcode
type. Scanning the DPM (Dot Peen Only) On configuration barcode will disable laser-etched barcode reading. This will not read
common 1D/2D printed barcodes.
Laser-Etched Barcode Reading
If reading laser-etched barcodes only, scan the DPM (Laser-Etched only) On configuration barcode to optimize laser-etched barcode
reading. Scanning the DPM (Laser-Etched Only) On configuration barcode will disable Dot Peen barcode reading. This will also read
common 1D/2D printed barcodes.
DPM (All) Off
To reset a CR3600 DPM reader to standard CR3600 settings, scan the DPM (All) Off configuration barcode. This will disable all DPM
reading. To return to DPM reading functionality, scan the preferred DPM On configuration barcode.

CR3600 DPM Targeting
The optimal reading distance between reader and barcode varies based on barcode type and quality. Typical reading distance is
from 2 inches (50mm) to 4 inches (100mm). To improve reading performance for dot peen (and other) marks, tilt the reader 10 to 45
degrees from vertical so that it is not perpendicular to the barcode.
