Decode Zone
The Decode Zone is based on Symbol’s Standard Code 39 PCS=0.9 lable in a 600 lux
environment.
NOTE: Do not hold the scanner directly over a barcode at 90˚. Scanning light
bounces directly back into the scanner from the barcode label is known as
specular reection which will create a “dead zone” where decoding is difcult.
Practice a few times to nd what range of angles works best.
