\"barcode-scanner-icon\"<\/a>Want to know how to increase a 2D imager\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s scanner read range?\u00c2\u00a0 Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a couple simple solutions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Print a bigger and better quality 1D barcode OR move to a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153smaller footprint\u00e2\u20ac\u009d 2D data matrix barcode.<\/li>\n
  2. There is limited tweaking that we can do to improve depth of field.\u00c2\u00a0 If you tweak one thing you affect something else \u00e2\u20ac\u201c like speed or the scanner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability to read bad barcodes.<\/li>\n
  3. Sometimes in a controlled environment you can tweak exposure settings which may help.\u00c2\u00a0 This is something that has to be done under the hood \u00e2\u20ac\u201c nothing in the manual on this.\u00c2\u00a0 But for it to have any affect, you need controlled\/consistent lighting, which is not something you find in a warehouse.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
