Location and Reading Position

Location and Reading Position

Tilt
Tilt interferes with successful decodes if all the bars in the symbol are not inside the scan
width, or if the tilt is greater than 25 degrees.
Skew
Skew axis
Skew reduces bar width, and affects high-density symbols more than low or medium
density symbols. Decoding may be possible with a skew angle of up to 65 degrees.
Pitch
Pitch reduces bar height. Decoding may be possible with a pitch angle of up to 75
degrees. Reducing pitch increases decoding efficiency. A low pitch angle (2–3 degrees
minimum) is helpful because it prevents specular reflection.
