3.5 POSITIONING
The DS2100N scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles,
however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting the DS2100N take into consideration these three ideal label position angles:
Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°.
Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:
The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 35. Position the reader in order to
minimize the Pitch angle.

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 36. Position the reader to assure at
least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the
DS2100N.
For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that all
other raster lines assure more than 10° Skew.
