2.5 POSITIONING
The LaserData® 11000 Scanner is able to decode moving bar code labels at a
variety of angles. However, significant angular distortion may degrade reading
performance.
When mounting the scanner, take into consideration these three ideal label-position
angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30°, and Tilt 0°.
Follow these suggestions for the best orientation:
The Pitch angle is represented by the angle P in Figure 2.18. Position the reader in
order to minimize the Pitch angle.

The Skew angle is represented by the angle S in Figure 2.19. Position the reader to
obtain a Skew angle of at least 10°. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser
light emitted by the scanner.
For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line,
so that all other raster lines have more than 10° Skew.
