Symbol Direction

Definition:
This feature specifies the direction the symbol is moving through the imager's field of view, or which side of the field of view the symbol will enter first.
Note: Image captures of symbols entering the field of view from above or below cannot be skew-corrected.
Serial Cmd:

Default:
Right
Options:
0 = Right
1 = Left

If a symbol enters the field of view from the left, it will be skewed as shown in the image below. The image is processed from top to bottom, meaning that the top of the symbol is captured first. The amount of skew is dependent on the speed at which the symbol moves through the imager's field of view. The symbol below was captured at a line speed of 40 inches per second.
