Usage:

Determines the postal symbology that will be decoded by the imager.
Definition:
Postal symbology decode performance depends on accurate sampling
density information. Sampling density is determined by measuring the width
in pixels of a symbol image and then dividing that value by the width of the
actual symbol in inches or meters. For example, an image of a one-inch-wide
symbol that is 200 pixels across would have a sampling density of 200 dots
per inch.
The following table shows the range of supported sampling densities.
