To successfully read a bar code label, the laser beam in the scan module must see all the
bars in a label and a “quiet zone” at each end of the label. A quiet zone is a clean, non-
printed space.

With the standard range scan module, you will have the best success if you hold the
terminal so that the horizontal reading angle is near zero and the vertical reading angle is
near 20 degrees. To get the best scan angle, hold the terminal so that the scan module is
pointing toward the bar code label. Tilt the terminal up or down slightly (20 degrees).
You can also watch the laser beam. The laser beam becomes the brightest at the best scan
angle.
