A leading margin is the time that precedes the first bar of the scan, in milliseconds. The minimum allowed value is 80 msec and the maximum is 250 msec. This parameter accommodates older wand decoders which cannot handle short leading margins.
Page 141: Polarity
Wand Emulation Interface 9 - 7 Polarity Polarity determines how the digital scanner's Wand Emulation interface creates the Digitized Barcode Pattern (DBP). DBP is a digital signal that represents the scanned bar code. Different decoders expect the DBP in a certain format.
