PDF Prioritization
Parameter # 719 (SSI # F1h CFh)
Enable this feature to delay decoding a 1D bar code (Code 128 of 8 to 25 characters length) by the value
specified in PDF Prioritization Timeout. During that time the imager attempts to decode a PDF417 symbol
(e.g., on a US driver's license), and if successful reports this only. If it does not decode (can not find) a PDF417
symbol, it reports the 1D symbol after the timeout. The 1D symbol must be in the device’s field of view for the
imager to report it. This parameter does not affect decoding other symbologies.
PDF Prioritization Timeout
Parameter # 720 (SSI # F1h D0h)
When PDF Prioritization is enabled, this timeout specifies how long the imager attempts to decode a PDF417
symbol before reporting the 1D bar code in the field of view.
Scan the following bar code, then scan four digits from Appendix D, Numeric Bar Codes that specify the
timeout in milliseconds. For example, to enter 200 ms, scan the following bar code, then scan 0200. The range
is 0 to 5000 ms, and the default is 400 ms.
