4 - 8 Symbol MiniScan MSXX04 Series Integration Guide
Usable Scan Length
The decode zone is a function of various symbol characteristics including density, print contrast, wide-to-narrow
ratio, and edge accuracy. Consider the width of the scan line at any given distance when designing a system.
Calculating the Usable Scan Length Methodon page 2-8 describes how to calculate the usable scan length. The
scan angle is provided in Table 4-2 on page 4-5 .

Notes:
1. Contrast measured as Mean Reflective Difference (MRD) at 650 nm.
2. Near ranges on lower densities largely depend on the width of the bar code and the scan angle.
3. Working range specifications: Photographic quality symbols, pitch = 10°, skew = 0°, roll = 0°,
ambient light < 150 ft. candles, and temperature = 23 °C.
