Description
A highly efficient scan pattern which
decodes 1D and EAN/UCC reduced
space symbologies in any orientation.
Note: In this mode, the MK22X0 does not
decode 2D bar codes like PDF417.
Directly opens the laser to a full sized
Raster pattern. Decodes 1D and PDF417.
Creates a single scan line which opens
vertically for PDF417 symbols using the
Smart Raster feature. This feature
autodetects the type of bar code
presented and adjusts its pattern
accordingly. This provides optimal
performance on 1D, PDF417, and
EAN/UCC.
