Figure 7. Skew, Tilt, and Pitch Angles
The Skew angle is represented by the value S shown. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This
avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the barcode scanner. For the raster version, this angle refers to the
most inclined or external raster line, so that all other raster lines assure more than 10° Skew.
The Tilt angle is represented by the value T shown. Position the reader to minimize the Tilt angle.
By using the Reconstruction Reading Mode software parameter, the tilt angle is less critical and can be decoded even if the
scan line doesn’t cross the entire code.
The Pitch angle is represented by the value P. Position the reader to minimize the Pitch angle.
