Issue: How to verify read range and scan width

Solution: Scan width is that portion of the scan line which a label can be read. For ladder oriented labels, scan width must only be wide enough to fully cover the label length, including quiet zones. With picket fence oriented labels, scan width is a factor in determining the time in which the label can be read.

Readabe ranges and maximum scan widths for specific bar code density (narrow-bar-width) types. Use the table on pabe 1-3 of your user manual as a reference to verify that the planned range for your label falls within one of the corresponding ranges.
