UPC-A and EAN-13 Decoding Levels
Decoding levels allow the decoder to be set to perform at one of four
selectable levels:
• Very Conservative — Slower scan time, virtually eleminates mis-
reads. The most secure setting.
• Slightly More Aggressive — Faster scanning, more aggressive, yet
minimizes misreads.
• Moderately Aggressive — Even faster scanning, even more aggres-
sive.
• Very Aggressive — Fastest scan speed, most aggressive.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH barcode.
2. Scan the barcode representing the desired option on the following
pages. You’ll need to cover any unused barcodes on facing pages to
ensure that the scanner reads only the barcode you intend to scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
barcode.
CAUTION
Use caution when setting this feature, as the aggressive settings for this fea-
ture allow a higher potential for misreads.
NOTE
It is important to note that the default for this feature is the “Slightly More
Aggressive” setting. For default settings for other features, see
Appendix E
