3. Select one or more bar code types from the Type list box.
Although it is unusual that more than one bar code type would be found
within a zone, or even an application, it is possible to select different bar
code types. Following is a list of bar code types and any selection
restrictions if they apply.
• CODABAR
• Code 128
• Code 2 of 5 (Mutually exclusive with Interleaved 2 of 5. Do not select
them simultaneously.)
• Code 39
NOTE: The maximum number of characters that can be read with the
Code 39 bar code is 38.
• Code 39 Extended
• Code 39 HIBC
• Code 93
• EAN 13
• EAN 8
• Interleaved 2 of 5 (Mutually exclusive with Code 2 of 5. Do not select
them simultaneously.)

• PDF417—is a high-density, two-dimensional bar code type that can
contain up to 1250 bytes of information in a few square inches. With this
kind of density, all of the index data for a document can be contained in
a single bar code. Refer to the section entitled “Substring syntax” in
Chapter 4 for suggestions on creating and indexing PDF417 bar codes
in Capture Software.
NOTE: It is recommended that you scan at 200 dpi when you are using
PDF417 bar codes. Scanning at 300 dpi may result in bar code
read failures.
• PostNet (Postal)—cannot be selected in combination with any other bar
code type.
• UCC128
• UPC-A
• UPC-E
NOTES: The more bar code types you select, the slower performance will be.
After you confirm the bar code zone setup by clicking OK , an audit
will be performed for any bar code type conflicts.
When you scan bar code documents with a Scanner 2500, you may
need to adjust (lower) the default threshold setting of 130 to read bar
codes that are not of optimum quality.
If you are scanning at 400 dpi with an i200 Series Scanner, it is
recommended that you enable the Majority Rule filter in Image Setup
to ensure high-quality bar code reading. Refer to Chapter 9C,
Setting
Up Page Properties for i200 Series Scanners , for details.
