Step 7 — Configure the Reader • Set up a symbol at the distance you will be using in your application. Refer to the read range data for your MS-2 model (High or Low Density) in the MS-2 CCD Reader User Manual . Note: If you are using an Interleaved 2 of 5 symbol, verify that the number or characters being scanned matches the symbol length enabled for Interleaved 2/5 (default is 10 and 6). • Avoid bright light or infrared light from other sources, including other readers.

• Pitch the reader or symbol at a minimum of ±15° to avoid specular reflection (the return of direct, non-diffused light). • Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is ±30°; maximum pitch is ±30°. Note: Code 39 is the default symbology enabled. If you are uncertain of your symbology, perform the following steps: 1. Enable all symbologies using ESP . 2. Enable Symbology Identifier at the bottom of ESP ’s Symbologies tree control. 3. Decode the symbol and compare the symbology identifier character to the list on page 5-20 of the MS-2 CCD Reader User Manual to determine your symbology.
