UPC/EAN Security Level
The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing levels
of security are provided for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse
relationship between security and scanner decode speed, so be sure to choose only that
level of security necessary for any given application.
UPC/EAN Security Level 0
This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing
sufficient security in decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.

UPC/EAN Security Level 1
As bar code quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before
others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experiencing misdecodes of poorly printed bar codes, and
the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.
