Behavior of the Read Head at Branches and Corners
The read head behaves differently depending on the type of branch and the specified lane. The
read head must know the upcoming direction decision.
A second lane branches off to the left from the straight lane:
The read head follows the straight lane if the direction decision "follow right-hand lane" has
been made.
A second lane branches off to the right from the straight lane:
The read head follows the straight lane if the direction decision "follow left-hand lane" has been
made.
A single lane with a position code turns to the left or right:
The read head follows the position code if the direction decision "straight ahead" has been
made.
It is not permitted to create a mixture of lanes made from colored tape and Data Matrix codes at
branches or intersections.

Loss of Information
Ensure that Data Matrix codes are not positioned over one another at a branch, as otherwise
data may be lost.
