Note
Pharmacodes
To read pharmacodes reliably, the "Module width" parameter ("Decoder options 1D" group)
must be set to "Saved" due to the code properties.
An upside down pharmacode cannot be detected automatically.
Note
Code39 and Int2/5
As these code types have variable code length, partial readings may occur with poor print
quality. You can increase the reliability of the reading by setting the code length in your
application to a fixed value.
To do so, set the "Number of bars" parameter in the "Decoder options (1D)" group to
"Saved".
Note
GS1 DataBar Stacked
The selection of "GS1 Databar Stacked" includes the code type "GS1 Databar 14 Stacked"
but not the "GS1 Databar Expanded Stacked" code type.

Description
Decoder type
•
Standard
•
ID Genius
Standard
You specify which decoding method is used for
reading data matrix codes.
You will find additional information in the operating
instructions "SIMATIC MV500 Optical Reading Sys-
tems" in the "Image processing" section.
The ID Genius decoder reads data matrix codes
even under the most difficult conditions. The stand-
ard decoder is suitable for fast reading, code verifi-
cation and for reading several codes in one image.
Note
If a verification reference is selected, only the
"standard" decoding process is used, regardless of
the selection made here.
