How To Scan
The following examples show how to use the tire scanners. The accuracy and reliability of the scanner are influenced by the user. In order to obtain high accuracy, the user should check that:

- There are no other additional characters in the cutout, if possible.
- The image should be in focus.
- The phone is held almost parallel to the tire surface.
Moreover, the user can expect a reliable result if the characters are not faded, are not under strong light reflections and are not covered by dirt. The above situations are depicted in the following images:
