Print Weight Adjust Function
This function improves scanning bar codes comprised with thick or thin bars. The improvement
can be selected in seven grades. In ordinary condition, the setting is not required to change.
However, it is useful to change it if scanning a particular bar code is difficult.
Figure 2-8
The functions of the Imager Library relevant to the Print Weight are as follows.
IMGSetPrintWeight
:
Sets up print weight of bar thickness used for decoding symbol.
IMGGetPrintWeight
:
Retrieves print weight of bar thickness used for decoding symbol.
Decode Window Function
This is a function that specifies an area for decoding bar code located in the center of the aimer
emitted by the CMOS Imager. It is useful for decoding a specific bar code symbol only among
plural bar codes printed on same paper sheet. If either Mode 1 or Mode 2 of the parameters is
specified in the
Decode Window function, the decoding area is automatically determined to
scan only a bar code located near the center. Setting the User Setting effect in the Decode
Window
function allows an area of decoding to be specified with X and Y coordinates.

Setting Parameters for
Decode Window function
Description Remarks
Disable Disable the Decode Window function.
Mode 1 Scan a single bar code located in the center area of the aimer.
Mode 2 Scan Composite code located in the center area of the aimer.
User Setting Specify decode area with X and Y coordinates.
If the Decode Window function is set for scanning a bar code, a bar code or a part of the bar
code that is within the aimer’s area (see Figure 2.9) is scanned, and other bar codes outside of the
area are not scanned. For example, in Figure 2.9, bar code A cannot be scanned because the entire
bar code is outside of the aimer area, but bar code B can be scanned because a part of the bar code
is within the area.
