Installing the bar code scanner
1. Preparing base for the installation of the bar code scanner holder, see
.
2. Place the object with the bar code at the designated position where the reading should
be taken in the bar code scanner's visual range (no conveyor movement).
3. Visually align the bar code scanner to the bar code. Pay attention to the following
points:
– With the bar code scanner with the front reading window, ensure that the narrow re-
verse side of the device with the laser warning sign is facing the viewer and is ap-
proximately parallel to the bar code plane.
– With the bar code scanner with the side reading window, respectively the line scan-
ner with oscillating mirror, ensure that the wide side panel with the LEDs is facing
the viewer and is approximately parallel with the bar code plane.
– During the reading, consider the reading angle, see
of the bar code scanner, page 45
.
– If the bar code's position within the scanning line is relevant for the evaluation, ob-
serve the reading angle's counting direction, see
chapter 5.3.5 Counting direction
of the reading angle and code angle, page 46
