Abstract

See full text

A two-dimensional code reading device 20 is provided with image pickup device 22 which receives light reflected from either of a first inclined portion 12 and a second inclined portion 13 in a direction forming an angle θ satisfying expression (1) with respect to the normal-line direction R, and light source 21 which irradiates either of the inclined portions from a direction forming an angle α satisfying expression (2) with respect to the normal-line direction R:

description='In-line Formulae' end='lead'Δθ=θ−180°+α+2β  (2)description='In-line Formulae' end='tail'

where β is less than 90°,

    Δθ is not less than −10° but not more than 10°, andθ and α are angles in a turn direction reverse to a turn direction at which either of the inclined portions forms the angle β with respect to the normal-line direction R.
