    Since the decoder takes a conservative view on the add-on symbols, it is likely that the add-on symbol will be missed in the auto-discrimination mode. Auto- discrimination mode should then be avoided. 10.2 Code Options (KDC20/100/200/250/270L/270D/410/411/415/470L/470D) The KDC supports the following barcode options:...
