Decode Area

Whole Area Decoding

When this option is enabled, the scanner attempts to decode barcode(s) within its field of view, from the
center to the periphery, and transmits the barcode that has been first decoded.
** Whole Area Decoding

Specific Area Decoding

The scanner attempts to read barcode(s) within a specified decoding area and transmits the barcode that
has been first decoded. This option allows the scanner to narrow its field of view to make sure it reads
only those barcodes intended by the user. For instance, if multiple barcodes are placed closely together,
specific area decoding in conjunction with appropriate pre-defined decoding area will insure that only the
desired barcode is read.
Specific Area Decoding

Specify Decoding Area

If Specific Area Decoding is enabled, the scanner only reads barcodes that intersect the predefined
decoding area.
The default decoding area is an area of 40% top, 60% bottom, 40% left and 60% right of the scanner's
field of view, as shown in the figure below. In the following example, the white box is the decoding area.
Since Barcode 1 passes through the decoding area, it will be read. Barcode 2 does not pass through the
decoding area, so it will not be read.
