• Set up a symbol at the distance you will be using in your application. Refer to the
Ranges for your MS-1 model (High Density or Low Density) to determine the optimal
distance.
Note: If you are using an Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol, verify that the number or characters
being scanned matches the symbol length enabled for Interleaved 2/5 (default is 10 and 6).
• Avoid bright light or infrared light from other sources, including other readers.
• Pitch the MS-1 or symbol at a minimum of ±15° to avoid specular reflection (the return of
direct, non-diffused light).
• Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°.
