Orientation Considerations
Consider the important factors that affect how the reader is oriented in
respect to the barcoded packages (products) and their method of
conveyance.
Mounting the reader for optimum performance depends on these factors:
 Read Range defining the distance (and variations) between the reader
and packages, including the near/far distances, and overall depth of field
 Barcode Orientation on products (ladder or picket fence) as well as the
angle in which codes will appear (skew, pitch and tilt)
 Reader Positioning for type of scanning required to accommodate
picket fence or ladder barcode orientation (yaw, pitch and roll angles)
Read Range
The AL5010 must be positioned in the scanning area to accommodate
reading products over a read range specific to your application. Use the
following diagram to determine the near/optimum/far read distances. These
dimensions result in the overall depth of field your application requires.
