Position Reader and Symbol
Step 3 — Position Reader and Symbol
• Position the reader at the focal distance recommended on the back of the reader, for
example FD = 4”.
• Tip the reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection. The
case parting line should be perpendicular to the plane of the symbol by either pitching
the symbol or the reader as shown.
• Position the reader in a place devoid of sunlight.
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) in any angle; however, for best results symbols should
be aligned with the FOV (field of view).
• In the case of linear symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement (“ladder”
orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and produce better reads.
• Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°.
Note: For instant setup and validation, the Quadrus EZ can be hand-held or laid on its
side; but for accuracy a mounting stand such as the one shown above is recommended.
