5.7.10.1 General
Reading processes such as the number of necessary multireads, regulations for dealing
with the start and stop characters, or check digit tests are configured under the General
group.
5.7.10.1.1 Multiread
You use the Multiread parameter to define a minimum number of G
OOD READ required for a
reading to be output as a G
OOD READ.
By defining a minimum number of readings, you reduce the likelihood of misinterpretations
for codes with poor printing quality or a low contrast, and increase reading reliability.
5.7.10.2 Length
Codes with a defined number of characters can be excluded from the reading process via
the parameters in the Length group.
Limiting the number of codes to be read reduces the decoding time.
5.7.10.2.1 Code length
You can use the Code length parameter to restrict the permitted number of characters in a
code.
• F
REE: Codes of any code length are read.
• I
NTERVAL: The Interval parameter can be used to define the minimum and maximum code
length. Only codes with a code length between these two values are read.
• F
IXED: The Fixed length parameter is used to define several fixed code lengths. Only codes
with one of these defined code lengths are read.
5.7.10.2.2 Interval
The Interval parameter can be used to define the minimum and maximum code length. Only
codes with a code length between these two values are read.
By defining a minimum and maximum code length, you restrict the range of codes to be
read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
5.7.10.2.3 Fixed length
The Fixed length parameter is used to define several fixed code lengths. Only codes with one
of these defined code lengths are read.
By defining certain permitted code lengths, you restrict the range of codes to be read.
This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
