Setup barcode position

Install the unit so that barcode skew θ is in the range of -20° ≤ θ ≤ 0° and +20° ≤ θ ≤ +40°.

Light receiving axis
* The light receiving axis is the path where the reflected
light from the barcode travels to create an image on
the WB1F internal CCD. The unit reads barcodes that
