Tilt Angle for Advanced Code Reconstruction 
 
The most important parameter in Advanced Code Reconstruction is the value of the 
maximum tilt angle (
α maximum) under which the code reconstruction process is still 
possible. 
 
We define the Tilt angle as the angle (
α) between the laser beam and a line parallel 
to the barcode label, as shown in Figure 29.

The formulas to calculate 
α maximum depend on various parameters such as: label 
height, number of scans per second, code motion speed, etc. To obtain 
α maximum 
for your application, please contact your Datalogic representative. 
 
You must remember that the decoder will be able to read the label with a tilt angle 
between + 
α max and - α max as shown in Figure 30 (the shaded zones are the NO 
READ zones).
