Code 93 Decoding Level
Specifies the decoding level for Code 93. Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode
symbology decoder to be very aggressive to very conservative depending on a particular
customer’s needs.
• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to
read poorly printed or damaged labels.
• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows
decoding of poorly printed and d
amaged labels
at the expense of increasing the likelihood
of decoding errors.
• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows th
e majority of product labels to be
decoded.
There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular
symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged
labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read
or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the de-
coding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels,
or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level
to a more conservative level.
