2.3 POSITIONING 
 
The TC1200 Scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however 
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. 
 
When mounting the TC1200 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 the figure. Position the reader in order to 
minimize the Pitch angle.

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in the figure. Position the reader to assure at 
least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids direct light reflection.

The  Tilt angle is represented by the value T in the figure. Position the reader in order to 
minimize the Tilt angle.
