UPC/EAN Security Level

The P 300 Series scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN bar codes. Select
a higher level of security for poor quality bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between
security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary
for your application.

UPC/EAN Security Level 0

This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, 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 mis-decodes are limited to these characters, select this security level.
