Scanner Voting Selection
The scanner offers three levels of voting for decoded messages: off, normal, and
high. The greatest decoding speed is achieved by turning voting off. The
greatest level of security is achieved by selecting the high voting level. The high
voting level is the recommended setting when reading poor quality bar codes.
The normal voting level provides a balance of good decoding speed and security.
Regardless of voting level selection, the decoded message format and length
may be qualified before the message is transmitted. This will provide additional
security. If format and length requirements are not met, the message will not be
transmitted. Refer to Data Formatter Selections (page 5-22) to set format
requirements. Refer to Chapter 6 to set message length requirements, by
symbology.
Note: To maximize both decoding speed and security, it is recommended to
disable all symbologies that will not be used.
When voting is turned off, a bar code needs only to be read one time for a
decode.
When the normal voting level is selected, a bar code needs to be read multiple
times for a decode. The number of votes depends on the symbology and the
message length. Since greater security is appropriate for shorter messages,
short messages require more votes than long messages.
The high voting level works much like the normal level, except that short
messages require twice as many votes. Note that for the ST5770, the high level
works identical to the normal level.
