SE4750-MR Decode Distances

SE4750-MR Decode Distances

The table below lists the typical distances for selected bar code densities. The minimum element width (or “symbol density”) is the width in mils of the narrowest element (bar or space) in the symbol.

Note:
  • * Limited by width of bar code in field of view
  • Photographic quality bar code at 18° tilt pitch angle under 30 fcd ambient illumination.
