Notes:
1. CONTRAST measured as Mean Reflective Difference (MRD) at 650 nm.
2. Near ranges on lower densities are largely dependent upon the width of the bar code and
the scan angle.
3. Working range specifications: Photographic quality symbols, pitch = 10°, skew = 0°, roll =
0°, ambient light < 150 ft. candles, and temperature = 23 °C
