IP Mode
IP Mode
Standard Mode
In Standard Mode, the imager processes the image using the standard decode algorithm.
Fast Linear Mode
In Fast Linear Mode, the imager quickly locates and decodes linear symbols that are
oriented in the field of view in such a way that a horizontal or vertical scan line can pass
completely through the symbol. The entire image is assumed to be a candidate, and is
read horizontally, vertically, or in both directions. When the number of symbols in the field
of view
<K518> is set to 2, Fast Linear Mode will try to locate the candidates first and
then decode. The candidate symbols cannot be side-by-side—they must be parallel.
Q-Mode
In Q-Mode, the image is processed using a special algorithm that is designed to provide
quick, consistent decode times. Standard Mode may be required for more challenging symbols.
Note: The following items are not supported when Q-Mode is enabled:
• Hollow Mode
• Number of Symbols in Field of View
• Damaged Symbol
• IP Threshold
• BC412
Symbology
• 2D Enhanced (Narrow Margins)
• Large Intercharacter Gap (Code 39)
• Large Intercharacter Gap (Codabar)
• Guard Bar Status (Interleaved 2 of 5)
• Codeword Collection (PDF417)
• Print Growth
(ISO/IEC 16022 Symbol Quality Output)
• Axial Non-Uniformity (Data Matrix Only) (ISO/IEC 16022 Symbol Quality Output)
• Unused Error Correction (Data Matrix Only) (ISO/IEC 16022 Symbol Quality Output)
• Percent Cell Damage (Data Matrix Only) (Microscan Symbol Quality Output)
• Pixels Per Element (Data Matrix Only) (Microscan Symbol Quality Output)
• Error Correction Level (Data Matrix Only) (Microscan Symbol Quality Output)
• Matrix Size (Data Matrix Only) (Microscan Symbol Quality Output)
• Detailed No Read Message (No Read Message)
• Bad Symbol Message
• No Symbol Message
• 1D/Stacked Symbology Qualification
• 2D Symbology Qualification
Both Standard Mode and Q-Mode
In Both, the imager attempts to process the image using both Standard Mode and Q-Mode.
