2. Design the system. Reference
Each application must be evaluated carefully. Successful bar code scanning begins with quality bar
code symbols and the correct number, type, and location of readers, decoders, and package sensors.
Refer to the following when designing your system.
•
Position the reader at a distance from the symbol that is within the range specified. A read rate
test should be made to verify the range, and also to ensure optimum scanning and decoding.
•
If a package sensor is used, position it so it can sense the package before the symbol reaches
the scan area.
