Decode Area
Whole Area Decoding
When this option is enabled, the scanner attempts to decode barcode(s) within its field of view, from the center to the
periphery, and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded.
** Whole Area Decoding
Specific Area Decoding
The scanner attempts to read barcode(s) within a specified decoding area and transmits the barcode that has been first
decoded. This option allows the scanner to narrow its field of view to make sure it reads only those barcodes intended by
the user. For instance, if multiple barcodes are placed closely together, specific area decoding in conjunction with
appropriate pre-defined decoding area will insure that only the desired barcode is read.
Specific Area Decoding
If Specific Area Decoding is enabled, the scanner only reads barcodes that intersect the predefined decoding area.
The default decoding area is an area of 40% top, 60% bottom, 40% left and 60% right of the scanner’s field of view, as
shown in the figure below. In the following example, the white box is the decoding area. Since Barcode 1 passes through
the decoding area, it will be read. Barcode 2 does not pass through the decoding area, so it will not be read.
You can define the decoding area using the Top of Decoding Area , Bottom of Decoding Area , Left of Decoding Area
and Right of Decoding Area barcodes as well as numeric barcode(s) that represent(s) a desired percentage (0-100).
