Usable Scan Length
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print
contrast, wide-to-narrow ratio, and edge acuity. Consider width of decode zone at any given
distance when designing a system.
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Method on page 2-11 describes how to calculate the
usable scan length. The scan angle is provided in Table 5-2 on page 5-6 .

1. Contrast measured as Mean Reflective Difference (MRD) at 670 nm.
2. Near ranges on lower densities (not specified) largely depend on the width of the bar code
and the scan angle.
3. Working range specifications at ambient temperature 23 °C.
