second up to 10 seconds. The default is 2 seconds.

It is strongly recommended that you maximize the minimum barcode length setting to prevent
possible errors. The default is 4 characters.
•
Security Level: Allows you to ensure an accurate barcode reading by setting the number of times
the KDC will read a barcode. Security Level is set from 1 up to 4. The higher security level means
more reliable readings though some performance degradation is likely. For poor quality barcodes,
we recommend increasing the security level. The default is 2.

characters to be display.
