Step 5 — Position Symbol and Reader
Note: Code 39 is the default code type enabled. If you are uncertain as to your sym-
bology type, enable all codes by selecting the
Autodiscriminate macro in EZ Mode.
1. Set up a symbol at the scanning distance you are using in your application.
(See
"Read Ranges"
on page A-3.)
2. Avoid bright light or IR light from other sources, including other readers.
3. Pitch symbol or reader slightly to avoid specular reflection, the return of direct
non-diffused light.
4. Place symbol in the middle of a rastering pattern.
Note: If using an I 2/5 symbol, verify that the number of characters in the symbol being
scanned matches the symbol length enabled for the I 2/5 symbol type. (Default is 10 and 6.)

"Interleaved 2 of 5"
