  • Page 7: Scanning Way

    The distance between window and scanner protect the scanner from drop and crash. SCANNING WAY While using the Barcode Scanner Module to scan 1D/2D barcodes, it allows some tilt, skew and pitch. However, you had better to reduce them for better and faster scanning result.
  • Page 8 Pitch will decrease the height of barcode. 2° to 3° is the best scanning angle, which could avoid the direct reflection of barcode. Barcode Scanner Module supports up to 60° pitch angle. But you should reduce it for better and faster scanning.
