3 READING FEATURES

3.1ADVANCED CODE BUILDER (ACB)

In addition to linear reading, the Advanced Code Builder (ACB) allows code reading by “stitching” together two partial reads of it. ACB is not as powerful as Advanced Code Reconstruction due to limits on tilt angle, speed and Multi-label function; but it is effective in the case of close-to-linear, small height codes, damaged codes, or poor print quality codes.

ACB is used to read a code label when the scan line does not cross the label along its entire length (excessive tilt angle).

ACB Reading

ACB reads two fragments of a label containing a start or a stop character and a number of digits, and puts them together to build the complete label.

ACB also has an intrinsic ability to increase the reading percentage of damaged codes as in the examples below:
