2.5 POSITIONING
The DS8100 scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting the DS8100 take into consideration these three ideal label position
angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 0° to 45° and Tilt 0°.
Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:
The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 28. Position the reader in
order to minimize the Pitch angle.
Figure 28 - "Pitch" angle
The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 29.

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 30. For code reconstruction,
see par. 4.1.1.
