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.

built with integrated scan engines. When correctly mounted, an exit win-
dow reduces reading distances by about 4% for all scan engines, with the
exception of the EL10 with its reading distances re duced by about 25%.
