    LED must be more centered in the symbol being read. Conversely, as the targeting tolerance gets larger there is less precision needed with the green LED. If there is more than one decodable code in the fi eld of the, the symbol closest to the targeting green LED will be decoded.

  • Page 52: Windowing

    By reducing the vertical window value of the imager to 200 pixels, 1-D codes are processed more quickly. Because only a horizontal strip of a 1-D code is needed to be decoded, using a narrow strip of the imager is all that is needed. The area above and below the 200 pixels, which is always in the center of the imager, is ignored.
