Step 3 — Position Imager
• Place the imager and test symbol in a location with as little ambient light
as possible.
• Position the imager at a distance from the symbol that matches the factory
pre-set focal distance. If your imager is pre-set at 4” (Standard Density),
position the parting line 4” from the symbol. If your imager is pre-set at 3”
(Low Density), position the parting line 3” from the symbol.
• Tip the imager relative to the symbol to avoid glare from specular reflection.
Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is
±30°
; maximum pitch is
±30°
).
• Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle; however, for best results
symbols should be aligned with the FOV (field of view). In the case of linear
symbols, aligning the bars in the direction of their movement (“ladder”
orientation) will minimize the chances of blurring and No Reads.
