Page 77: Multicode Mode
User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 4 - 25 Multicode Mode Parameter # F1h A5h Enable this parameter to allow multiple bar codes to decode upon one trigger event based on the programmed multicode expression. The digital scanner reports a successful decode and provides user indication only if it decodes all bar codes indicated by the multicode expression, otherwise the decode fails.
Page 78: Multicode Expression Syntax: [N] [Element 1]; [Element 2 ]
4 - 26 DS4208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide Multicode Expression Syntax: [n] [Element 1]; [Element 2 ]; ... [Element n]; Where n is the number of elements in the overall expression. The multicode expression describes the bar code(s) that the digital scanner can expect to find in an image. Each element represents one bar code in the digital scanner's field of view.
Page 79: Example 1
User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 4 - 27 • When defining regions: • Defining a region much larger than the bar code improves tolerance to scan distance and angle, but can cause a decode of a nearby bar code instead of the target bar code. Therefore, for best performance define larger regions when only a few bar codes are in view and those in view are widely separated.
