18. Mount Scanner 3 Quality Bar Code Labels The quality of the bar code label can affect the scanning performance Poor quality labels are more difficult to decode and may result in non reads or potential misreads The bar code label should be printed to specifications This means that the bars are printed within spec with the correct widths no ink spread crisps edges and no voids There should be a sufficient quiet zone on both end of the bar code label For best results the paper or label stock should have a matte finish to diffuse light The print contrast signal which is a comparison of the reflectance of the bars and the background stock should be as high as practical Measuring Scanner Performance A method for properly positioning the unit is to program the scanner for Trigger Disable S7 and Continuous Read S2 modes The scanner will be always on and will continuously read the same bar code Since the buzzer sounds each time the bar code is read the sound of the buzzer can be used like a Geiger counter As the position of the scanner changes the sound of the buzzer will change The buzzer sound will be loudest and most continuous at the best reading position Page 10 Manual No 25 ULPNR102 01 Mar 2005 LMD 1135 Laser Fixed Mount Scanner Application Notes Tips for Achieving High Throughput In some applications your primary objective may be to achieve the highest possible throughput rate The following list identifies the par
