SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Technical Manual
The 3700 Wedge may be oriented in any way so the beam scanning path moves
across the bar code as shown in Figure 6. Bar code presentation to the scanner is
important for successful scanning of the label. The first requirement is that the beam
scan path cross all bars on the label, as well a 0.25 inch quiet zone before and after
the code. The Automatic Identification Manufacturers (AIM), the industry
association, has defined orientation of the bar code label according to Figure 7.
