Note 1: The readable label width means a bar code length including the right and
left margins (quiet zones) of a bar code.
Note: 2 Even if a bar code is within the above reading range, it may not be read
depending on the bar code quality. Set the optimum reading position based on
enough reading tests.
Note 3: Normally, the reading distance should be set to 230 mm (focal length). In
this case, the maximum readable label width is 215 mm (when the narrow bar
width is 0.19 mm or more).
