Read Ranges
Read ranges based on four character Code
39 labels with a wide to narrow bar ratio of
2.6 to 1 and a print contrast ratio of .75 or
better. Read ranges will vary with bar code
symbol quality.
When scanning labels at an angle apparent
element width is less than the actual element
width.
Read ranges measured from front edge of
wiring base. Add .58 inches (.015 meter) for
the distance to the scan window.
