2.3 POSITIONING THE SCANNER

The DS8100A scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting the DS8100A take into consideration these three ideal label position angles:
Pitch 0°, Skew 0° to 45° and Tilt 0°.
Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:
The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 9. Position the reader in order to
minimize the Pitch angle.

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 10.
