● Skewed barcodes may not be recognized correctly.
● Using the same document repeatedly may decrease the recognition accuracy due to
accumulated dirt on the document. If the document is not recognized correctly or gets
smudged, replace it with a new document.
● The barcode may not be recognized correctly depending on the document (if skewed) and/or
the condition of printed barcodes. Make sure that the barcode is correctly recognized before
starting operations.
● If scanning performance is poor, reducing the barcode detection area may improve
performance.
● If there are multiple barcodes in the detection area, the barcode to be detected is unknown.
● If there are multiple barcodes in the detection area, the order in which the barcodes are to be
