How does placement of the mark affect the readability of the code?
The location of the code on a part can directly impact the readability of the code. The location should be clearly visible throughout the manufacturing process and, when possible, on a region on the part. Also, choose a location where the mark is in a prominent position on the part that is easily viewed by the reader. Avoid locations where there may be a surrounding surface relief that could potentially affect the illumination of the code by the reader’s illumination source.
