Relaxed Quietzone
The Quietzone is a blank margin on either side of a barcode that indicates where the barcode begins and ends. If this
Quietzone isn't big enough, the sensor can have trouble decoding the barcode. By enabling Relaxed Quietzone there is a
greater tolerance with respect to the quiet zone required before and after the barcode.
Changing the Relaxed Quietzone setting also affects the linear barcode types.
PDF417 Settings
Decoder Mode
The Decoder Mode determines which decode algorithm to use and how imperfections in barcode images are handled.
Fast
The sensor uses an algorithm that is tailored for speed. The algorithm does NOT correct for barcode image
imperfections. The Fast setting has the best results on high-contrast images that contain high-quality barcodes.
Robust
The sensor uses an algorithm that performs routines to correct for imperfections of the barcode image.
Scan Direction
For PDF417, select one of the following for Line Scanning:
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Omnidirectional
The Omnidirectional setting should decode more barcodes, however it takes longer to do so.
BW Adjust
Setting a bar width (BW) adjusts the bar widths with respect to spaces. These settings promote print gain correction.
None
No bar width adjustments are made.
Add Pixel
Enlarges the bar widths with respect to spaces.
Subract Pixel
Reduces the bar widths with respect to spaces.
9.1.2 Barcode Count
Main Menu > Inspection > Barcode > Barcode Count
In the Barcode Count screen, select the number of barcodes to decode. Select from 1 to 10.
Note: For IMB, Postnet, and Pharmacode barcode types, the sensor decodes only one barcode for each
of these types regardless of the Barcode Count setting. This means that if there is one of each of these
types in an image, and the Barcode Count is set to 3, the sensor decodes all three; however, if there are
three IMB barcodes, for example, the sensor will always only decode one IMB barcode.
