Setting Bar Code Scanning Parameters
The 4:BARCODE option on the Set System menu is used to set the following options:
Inverted Label Reading
This black-and-white inverted label reading function (INVERT) enables the PDT 1100 to
read white bars on a black background. Activating this function may increase the frequency
of scanning errors.
Decode Level
Decode level (DECODE LEVEL) can be set to a value from 1-9. Decreasing this value
increases bar code scanning efficiency, but also increases the risk of misreading low-
quality or damaged bar codes. Increasing this value decreases scanning efficiency, but it
eliminates almost all possibilities of misreading. The default is 4.
Minimum Digits
Minimum number of digits to be read for ITF, STF, or CODABAR (MINIMUM DIGITS) can
be set to 2-20 for ITF, 1-20 for STF, or 3-20 for Codabar. Setting a small number increases
the frequency of digit-missing scanning or misreading of poor quality bar codes. Setting a
large number eliminates almost all possibilities of error. The default is 4 for ITF and
Codabar, and 2 for STF.
