Depth of Field for the MS700i and MS715i Scanner

Through the glass at the front of the scanner, safe, low powered laser beams are projected in a complex pattern that resembles a spider web. Each of the five scan fields that generate the scan pattern extends to a range of 178mm (7.0"). The range begins from the face of the scanner window and extends from the unit for a distance of 178mm (7.0") measured along the scanning beam at the center of each scan segment. This 0.0mm - 178mm (0" - 7") range is the depth of field for the MS700i and MS715i scanner (refer to Figure 10). This area of active scanning projects out from the glass on the face of the scanner to about 7 inches.

The scan pattern is projected at a slight angle downward from the front of the scanner (approximately 10 degrees, overall). As the scan fields move outward, they expand. Like an image expands from a film projector as it moves toward the screen at a movie theater, the scan pattern projects out to a well-defined region. Any label that is facing toward the scanner can be read at any point within the scanning field.
