Chapter 6 Using Reader Configuration Utility
Decode Timeout Sets the maximum time for the decoding process during a scan.
Configurable between 1 sec to 9 sec.
3 sec.
Redundancy Level
Sets how many successful readings should be done before
linear barcodes such as Codabar, MSI, and Interleaved 2 of 5
can be decoded. Levels 1 to 4 available.
Level 1
Security Level Sets the security level to ensure decoding accuracy considering
the printed quality of barcodes such as Code 128, Code 93, and
UPC/EAN. The higher the level is, the more security is ensured.
Options are:
0
With this default, the scan engine is aggressive
enough to decode most “in-spec” barcodes.
1
Select this level if misdecodes have occurred. It
fixes most misdecodes.
2
Select this level if Level 1 should fail to eliminate
misdecodes.
3
Select this level if Security Level 2 should fail to
prevent misdecodes. However, as this level actually
impairs the decoding ability of the decoder, a safer
solution would be to improve the quality of the bar
codes to read.
Level 0
Inter-Char Gap Size
Sets the intercharacter gap size for Code 39 and Codabar.
Switch between Normal and Large.
Normal
Scan Mode Sets the reader’s scanning behavior.
Level: The decoding process is activated by a trigger event,
and continues until the
trigger event ends, a valid decode
happens or decode session time-out is reached.

Illumination
Enables an LED light beam to aid barcode reading. Selected
(Enabled)
Decode Aiming
Pattern
Projects a crosshair at the center of the laser light beam to
facilitate barcode reading.
Selected
(Enabled)
Picklist Mode
When selected, only barcodes aligned at the crosshair of the
laser light beam will be decoded.
