Decoder Effort Levels
Parameter # 1438
Unlike symbols printed on labels, a direct part mark (DPM) is a symbol that is marked
directly on an item's surface for permanent identification, using methods such as laser
etching, dot-peening, or direct-printing.
Select one of the levels below based on the type of symbol being scanned.
• Decoder Effort Level 1 – No Special DPM Processing. Use only on high-contrast
symbols printed on labels. This allows the fastest processing time when no DPM reading
is required.
• Decoder Effort Level 2 – Least Aggressive DPM Processing. Optimized for decoding
performance on smaller DPM symbols typically found on electronics and medical
instruments, especially on smooth surfaces. These symbols tend to be laser-etched or
direct-printed.
• Decoder Effort Level 3 – Best Setting for Most DPMs. Optimizes decoding performance
on larger DPM symbols, typically found on industrial parts, especially on rough, grainy,
or visibly machined surfaces. These symbols tend to be dot-peened or laser-etched.
• Decoder Effort Level 4 – Most Aggressive DPM Processing. Use only for the most
difficult-to-decode marks, for which additional DPM processing may be necessary.
