68XX Series
Aiming: Hold at an Angle
Do not hold the 6800’s scan window directly over the bar code.
Laser light reflecting directly back into the scan window from the
bar code is known as specular reflection. This strong light can
“blind” the scanner and make decoding difficult. The area where
specular reflection occurs is known as a “dead zone”.
You can tilt the 6800 up to 55° forward or back and achieve a
successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work
within.
