Matrix 300N
Note: Since Matrix 300N is omni-directional on the code plane, the Pitch and 
Skew angles have the same significance with respect to the code plane. However, 
in some advanced code reading applications performance can be improved by 
modifying the Skew angle.
The  Pitch, Skew an
d Tilt angles are represented in Figure 30. Follow the 
suggestions below for the best orientation:
Position the reader in order to avoid the dir
ect reflection of the light emitted by 
the Matrix 300N reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle.

In some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a 
Pitch or Skew angle = 0°.
The Til
t angle is also represented in Figure 31. Matrix 300N can read labels with 
any tilt angle. However, since linear barcodes are rectangular, keep in mind that 
the reade
r should be aligned to fit them into the horizontal FOV.
