Reading Distances
Typical reading distances are done in an office environment using office
lights (4 lux). Minimum distances are measured in the dark (0 lux). Both
reading distances are provided in respective scan engine integration guides.
Contact your Intermec representative for more information.
The minimum standard reading distances for CN3s built with integrated
scan engines are shown below. When correctly mounted, an exit window
(like the one the CN3 has) reduces reading distances by about 4%.
