printed surface of the code from
directly above, the BHT may not
read the code due to specular
reflection.
Change the BHT reading angle and try again.
Distance from

The code shorter than the reading
window may not be read from a
short distance.
Move the BHT slowly away from the code and try
again.
Code surface
curvature
The code may not be read if surface
is extremely curved.
Flatten the label surface and read it again.
Code surface

surface is dirty.
Wipe the dirt from the code and try again.

code reading window is dirty.
Blow any dust away with an airbrush, and then
gently wipe the reading window with a cotton
swab or similar soft object.
