DS5100 REFERENCE MANUAL5433.4 POSITIONINGThe DS5100 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles,however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.When mounting the DS5100 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 29. Position the reader to assure atleast 15° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by theDS5100.Figure 29 – DS5100 Skew AngleThe Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 30. Position the reader in order tominimize the Tilt angle.Figure 30 – DS5100Tilt AngleBy using the ACR4 (Advanced Code Reconstruction) software parameter, the tilt angle isless critical and can be decoded even if the scan line doesn’t cross the entire code.See par. 6.1 or the Help On Line for details.TSTS
