2.4 POSITIONING
The DS2100 scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles,
however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting the DS2100 take into consideration these three ideal label position
angles:
Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0° .
Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:
The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 19. Position the reader in
order to minimize the Pitch angle.
Figure 19 - Pitch Angle
The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 20. Position the reader to
assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser
light emitted by the DS2100.
For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so
that all other raster lines assure
more than 10° Skew.
