2.5POSITIONING

The DS1500 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the DS1500 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 15° to 30° and Tilt 0°.

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 15. Position the reader in

order to minimize the Pitch angle.

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 16. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the DS1500.
