Hand Held Products 3700 CCD manual 3 Examples of SCANTEAM 3700 Barcode Orientation, Front View

The 3700 Machine Mount CCD may be oriented in any way so that the beam scanning path moves across the bar code as shown in Figure 3.3. Bar code presentation to the scanner is important for successful scanning of the label. The first requirement is that the beam scan path cross all bars on the label, as well a 0.25 inch quiet zone before and after the code. The Automatic Identification Manufacturers (AIM), the industry association, has defined orientation of the bar code label according to Figure 3.4.
