VB24
3.3 POSITIONING
The VB24 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting the VB24 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Skew
15° to 30°, Tilt 0° and Pitch 0°.
Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:
The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 17. Position the reader to assure at
least 15° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the
VB24.

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 18. Position the reader in order to
minimize the Tilt angle.

By using the ACR4™ (Advanced Code Reconstruction) software parameter, the tilt angle is
less critical and can be decoded even if the scan line doesn't cross the entire code.
