Raster Height

This parameter determines the scanner’s raster height when scanning PDF symbols only.

•

Short Raster - Scan Short Raster to use the standard 1D raster height of approximately 4o. This option

provides the best performance on MicroPDF and short PDF symbols.

•

Tall Raster - Scan Tall Raster for a raster of approximately 50% taller than the shor t raster, opening to about

6o and slowing to capture bar code data more efficiently. This provides the best performance on tall PDF

symbols.

•

Adjustable Raster (default) - This option st arts as a short r aster, then opens to a tall raster and slows half a

second later. Use this option when scanning a variety of symbol heights.
