GS1 128 Limited Security Level 
The scanner IDM120 series offers three levels of decode security for GS1 DataBar Limited bar codes: 
•  Level 1: If you failed to read poorly-printed or out-of-spec. bar codes in level 2, please select level 1. 
This is the most aggressive setting and may increase the misread.  
•  Level 2: If you are experiencing misread of poor-printed or out-of-spec. bar code in level 3, please 
select level 2.
 
•  Level 3: This is the default setting which allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing 
sufficient security in decoding "in-spec." GS1 128 Limited” bar codes.
