Depth of Field

Definition of a "mil"

There are currently four different range models for the scanner. Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum scan- ning results. The following diagrams provide depth of field informa- tion for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR) and Extra Long Range (XLR).

A "mil" is equal to 0.001 inches. In the context of the illustrations in this section, a mil represents the minimum bar code element width. Thus a 5 mil bar code would have a minimum element width of 5 mils (or 0.005 inches).

NOTE

Measurements are based on SR models set with the standard 28° scan width (as opposed to the Half Angle setting of 14°). Reference the Programming Manual for more information about the Half Angle feature.
