Code 128 Security Level

Parameter # 751
Code 128 barcodes are vulnerable to misdecodes, particularly when Code 128 Lengths is
set to Any Length. The scanner offers four levels of decode security for Code 128 barcodes.
There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness. Increasing
the level of security can reduce scanning aggressiveness, so select only the level of
security necessary.
• Code 128 Security Level 0: This setting allows the scanner to operate in its most
aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most in-spec barcodes.
• Code 128 Security Level 1: A barcode must be successfully read twice, and satisfy
certain safety requirements before being decoded. This default setting eliminates most
misdecodes.
• Code 128 Security Level 2: Select this option with greater barcode security requirements
if Security Level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Code 128 Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still
occur, select this security level to apply the highest safety requirements. A barcode must
be successfully read three times before being decoded.
Note: Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out-of-spec
barcodes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the
scanner. If this level of security is required, try to improve the quality of the barcodes.
