Scanning Range
There are currently four different model types for this scanner.
Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold
the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum
scanning results. The following diagrams provide range of field infor-
mation for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar
codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR)
and Extra Long Range (XLR).

NOTE
In the context of the illustration below, a "mil" repre-
sents the minimum bar code element width. Mea-
surements are based on SR models set with the
standard 28° scan width (as opposed to the Half
Angle setting of 14°). Reference the PowerScan Pro-
gramming Manual for more information about the
Half Angle feature.
