Symbol Density: The amount of information versus the total area occupied by the symbol.
In order to achieve high density, the individual elements of a symbol must shrink. The highest
density symbols can only be resolved in the LH2 near-eld image, where the resolution of the
imager is 1024 x 640 DPI. Symbol density is usually expressed in “Mils” - ie, thousandths of
inches. This size refers to the smallest width of a linear barcode or the “cell size” (individual
square) in a matrix barcode.
Working Range: The range from nearest to farthest that the object (the target symbol)
can be resolved and decoded. Parameters that effect working range are SYMBOL DENSITY
and the OVERALL SIZE of the symbol, the SYMBOLOGY used, the reectivity of the surface,
the contrast of the symbol in relation to its background, the amount and type of illumination
available, and other environmental factors.
Resolution: Resolution is expressed in the table is the pixel array available for decoding a

* Factory Default Setting
When choosing the correct setting for your environment (i.e. printed labels, direct marks...)
we recommend trying several settings. For a large majority of users, the B1 or B3 settings are
satisfactory. If you would like to greatly improve the reader’s performance on medium to large
1-D codes, try the D1 or D3 setting, The chart and denitions below will help you understand
the readers conguration for each setting.
