Abstract:
A mark reader apparatus has a lens and an autofocus system that manipulates the lens in accordance with control signals. An image acquisition system measures a distance from the lens to a dot peened mark. A processor is programmed to: calculate a focus position for the autofocus system that focuses the lens on the dot peened mark; apply an offset to the calculated focus position to produce an offset focus position; control the autofocus system by positioning the autofocus system to the offset focus position; and via the image acquisition system, acquire an image of the mark with the autofocus system set to the offset focus position.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus according to  claim 9 , comprising determining the offset by adding, by the processor, offset values incrementally to the calculated focus position until space between dots in the image of the mark are merged in the acquired image.
