Mounting the code tape in curved areas
If you affix the code tape on inclines or declines, cut the code tape several times at the
transition point to the horizontal as shown.
When you apply the code tape to the floor in curved areas, cut the code tape several times at
the transition to the curve as shown. Be careful not to destroy any DataMatrix codes and leave
a resting zone of 2 mm to avoid damaging the codes.

Cleaning the Code Tape
Significant contamination on code tapes can impair detection by the read head. Clean the code
tapes with isopropanol if necessary. If the contamination is severe, you can use a non-corrosive
plastic cleaner, e.g., Caramba®.
Note
To avoid polishing the surface, do not apply strong pressure when cleaning. If the code tape
has a shiny surface, this impairs detection by the read head.
