Distance Output
The read head detects the distance from the zero point in the Y direction of a colored tape or a
Data Matrix code tape and outputs this value to the controller. The output value is different for
colored tapes and Data Matrix code tapes due to the lack of an X position for colored tapes.
Colored tape
The read head outputs the Y value at which the colored tape intersects the Y axis as the
distance.

Distance A for colored tape
Data Matrix code tape
The read head indicates the vertical distance of the zero point in relation to the Data Matrix
code tape.
