Installation support device and installation support method for stationary code reader

An installation support device for a stationary code reader that supports installation of the stationary code reader, which reads a code attached to a workpiece being conveyed on a line, the installation support device comprising:

• an acquisition section that acquires camera information including a camera parameter of the code reader, code information to be read, and environment information indicating a reading environment;
• a calculation section that determines required field of view and depth of the code reader required to read the code under an environment specified by the environment information based on the environment information acquired by the acquisition section, and determines an installation pattern which is a recommended installation position of the code reader that enables satisfaction of the required field of view and depth based on the camera information and the code information;
• and
• an output section that outputs the installation pattern determined by the calculation section, wherein
• the calculation section determines a plurality of the installation patterns, and
• the output section outputs the plurality of installation patterns.
