4. Customize your product operating settings
1. Select the settings you need if they are not already selected by
default—double-click the selected commands or click the vertical
command button.
Choosing the right operating settings is very important for optimized reading
performance ! This is especially true for the following parameters.
scan patterns
•
single line
•
picket fence and ladder reading
•
set scan rate / position (scan width depends on reading
distance)
•
picket fence—increase scan width to increase the number
of scans
•
ladder—limit scan width to just over width of code if
possible to avoid wasted scans
•
raster
•
picket fence only—do not use for ladder reading !
•
good for poor quality or damaged labels (read same code
at different heights) or variable label position
•
useful for multicode applications
•
set scan rate / sweep angle (scan area depends on reading
distance and sweep angle)
•
limit raster or pattern to height of code if possible to avoid
wasted scans
•
lissajous curves
•
undefined orientation
•
more directions = lower effective scan rate per line
•
multipattern sequence
•
for variable orientation and position
•
suitable for static reading or slow pass-through applications
•
cross pattern provides good coverage with codes that are
higher than wide
•
scan rate
•
increase the scan rate if your application uses small bar
codes and higher pass-through speeds
