Read Range and other performance data is determined using high quality Grade
A symbols per ISO/IEC 15415 and ISO/IEC 15416 in a 25° C environment.
For application-specic Read Range results, testing should be performed with
symbols used in the actual application. Microscan Applications Engineering is
available to assist with evaluations. Results may vary depending on symbol
quality. Warranty–For current warranty information on this product, please visit
