Code Variability - Teledyne BOA Spot ID Series Quick Start Manual

Compensating for Code Variability
The variability between surface type and printing method can result in significant
changes in code appearance from part to part. The IDS and IDE models includes image
filters and control parameters to enhance readability for poor print quality or direct part
marking (DPM). The IDE model also includes advanced algorithms specifically
designed for challenging DPM applications.
