NOTE Scanning Direct Part Mark (DPM) bar codes with the DS3508-DP20005R digital scanner: Due to the
reflective nature of some surfaces used with DPM bar codes (see
the scanner at an angle relative to the target (Motorola recommends 25-45 degrees). For example, when
scanning a 15 mil dot peen Data matrix bar code marked on an aluminum surface with the
DS3508-DP20005R, present the target between two and three inches from the nose of the scanner, and
tilt the scanner at a 30 degree angle.
When scanning standard (non-DPM) bar codes with any configuration of the DS3508 digital scanner,
follow the standard aiming instructions described in
