Reading Codes
The handheld reads both very small 2-D codes (e.g., Data Matrix codes) and
larger 1-D codes (e.g., barcodes).
Reading Codes
1. Hold the handheld so that the contrast between the code and surface is as
high as possible. A reading angle of between 45
°
and 90
°
is optimal, depend-
ing on whether the code has been etched, laser-engraved, or printed on the
surface. The reading distance is approximately 25 mm or greater, depending
on the code type and code size.
Tip
If several codes are located directly next to each other, we recommend you cover
the codes that you do not wish to read. This prevents you from inadvertently
reading another code.
