  • Page 97: I 2 Of 5 Security Level

    Interleaved 2 of 5 Security Level Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes are vulnerable to misdecodes by the nature of the symbol, especially when Any Length is set for Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes. The decoder offers four levels of decode security for Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decoder aggressiveness.
  • Page 98 I 2 of 5 Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still occur,  select this security level. The highest safety requirements are applied. A bar code must be successfully read three times before being decoded. NOTE Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out-of-spec bar codes.

  • Page 146: Intercharacter Gap Size

    Intercharacter Gap Size The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the decoder from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.
