    3.1 - Introduction The LG2 may be easily optimized for any workplace. By setting a few parameters from your scanning environment you can take advantage of the readers dual path 1.3 megapixel imager and 400 MHz processor. If you are scanning large barcodes, small barcodes or even multiple sizes of different barcodes, by defin- ing the working range and the type of symbols the reader must process, the LG2 will offer lightning fast decodes.
  • Page 27 3.1 - Introduction (con’t) When choosing the correct setting for your environment (i.e. printed labels, direct marks...) we recommend trying several settings. For a large majority of users, the B1 or B3 settings are satisfactory. If you would like to greatly improve the reader’s performance on medium to large 1-D codes, try the D1 or D3 setting, The chart and definitions below will help you understand the readers configuration for each setting.
