Practice to determine the best scanning angle and distance for
your type of bar code.
Scan Angle
For best results, position the scanner at an angle to the bar code.
Otherwise, light can bounce back into the scanner and "blind"
the sensing mechanism.
Recommended Scan Angle:
CF Scan Card 5E/5M/5P: At least 15° from perpendicular
CF Scan Card 5X: At least 25.5° from perpendicular
Aiming Beam
Aim the scanner so that the red beam covers the entire width of
the bar code.
