Reading angle between bar code reader and bar code
The optimum alignment of the bar code reader is accomplished when the scan line scans the bar code bars
almost at a right angle (90°). All reading angles that are possible between the scan line and bar code must
be taken account.
α
Azimuth angle (tilt)
β
Angle of inclination (Pitch)
γ
Angle of rotation (skew)

Reading angle for the line scanner
In order to avoid total reflection, the γ angle of rotation (skew) should be greater than 10°.
