2.5 POSITIONING 
 
The DS4600A scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of 
angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. 
 
 When mounting the DS4600A take into consideration these three ideal label position 
angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 15° to 30° and Tilt 0°
 
Follow the suggestions below for the best orientation: 
 
The  Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 19. Position the reader in 
order to minimize the Pitch angle.

The  Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 20. Position the reader to 
assure at least 15° 
for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser 
light emitted by the DS4600A. 
For raster models, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that 
all other raster lines assure more than 10° Skew.
