Scanning Distance:
The optimal scanning distance for a 2D barcode scanner depends on its type and application:
Handheld Scanners: Typically work within 3 cm to 30 cm (1–12 inches), ideal for retail or close-range logistics tasks.
Fixed-Mount Scanners: Used in warehouses or production lines, these can read codes from up to
several meters away, depending on lens magnification and resolution.
Long Range Industrial Scanners: Specialized devices with extended depth of field (DoF) can scan codes from over 10 meters in controlled environments.
