Matrix-1000™ 
24  
 
Matrix-1000
 is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles, however 
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. 
 
When mounting Matrix-1000
, take into consideration these ideal label position 
angles: Pitch 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°
 
Note: Since Matrix-1000
 is omni-directional on the code plane, e Pitch and Skew 
angles have the same significance with respect to the code plane. To simplify 
therefore, we will use Pitch to describe both these angles. 
 
Follow the suggestions below for the best orientation: 
 
The  Pitch angles are represented by the values P and S in Figure 24. Position the 
reader in order to avoid the direct reflection of the light emitted by the Matrix-1000
 
reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for one of these angles. In some cases, 
such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a Pitch angle = 0°.

The  Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 25. Matrix-1000
 can read 
labels with any tilt angle.
