PDF Prioritization
Parameter # 719
SSI # F1h CFh
Scan Enable PDF Prioritization to delay decoding certain 1D barcodes (see
Note
below) by the value specified in
PDF Prioritization Timeout. During that time the scanner 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 scanner to report it.
This parameter does not affect decoding other symbologies.
PDF Prioritization Timeout
Parameter # 720
SSI # F1h D0h
If you enabled PDF Prioritization, set this timeout to indicate how long the scanner attempts to decode a PDF417
symbol before reporting the 1D barcode in the field of view.
Scan the following barcode, and then scan four barcodes from Numeric Barcodes that specify the timeout in
milliseconds. For example, to enter 400 ms, scan the following barcode, and then scan 0400. The range is 0 to
5000 ms, and the default is 200 ms.
NOTE: The 1D Code 128 barcode lengths include the following:
• 7 to 10 characters
• 14 to 22 characters
• 27 to 28 characters
In addition, a Code 39 barcode with the following lengths are considered to potentially be part of a US
driver’s license:
• 8 characters
• 12 characters
