1.  To mount the Matrix 300N, use the mounting brackets to obtain the most suitable position 
for the reader. The most common mounting configuration is shown in the figure below.

2.  When  mounting  the  Matrix  300N  take  into  consideration  these  three  ideal  label  position 
angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the reader can read a code at any tilt 
angle provided the code fits into the Field Of View (FOV).

3.  Refer to the reading diagrams in chp. 6 to determine the distance your reader should be 
positioned at. 
 
NOTE: Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 300N reader can be made either 
through  the  X-PRESS™  interface  (steps  3-4)  which  requires  no  PC 
connection, or by using the DL.CODE Setup Wizard (steps 5-6). Select the 
procedure according to your needs.
