D25 Options

Redundancy – Defines if the start and stop characters are returned in the data string after a successful Codabar decode. If SSXmit is 1, the start and stop characters are included. If 0, they are not included. The default value is 0.

Min Length – The minimum length decoded message the engine should return. Messages smaller than this minimum length are not reported by the engine. The minimum allowable value (as well as the default) is 4.

Max Length – The maximum length decoded Interleaved 2 of 5 message the engine should return. Interleaved 2 of 5 messages larger than this maximum length are not reported by the engine. The maximum allowable value (as well as the default) is 80.

CODE11 Options

Redundancy – If 1, the engine only decodes Code 11 barcodes printed with two check digits. Otherwise, the engine decodes Code 11 barcodes as if they were printed with only one check digit. The default value is 1.

Check Digit Count – If 1, the engine only decodes Code 11 barcodes printed with two check digits. Otherwise, the engine decodes Code 11 barcodes as if they were printed with only one check digit. The default value is 1.

Max Length – The maximum length decoded Code 93 message the engine should return. Code 93 messages larger than this maximum length are not reported by the engine. The maximum allowable value (as well as the default) is 80.

CODE128 Options

Redundancy – Flag to enable redundancy. If this flag is set, the bar code must be decoded twice before being accepted.

Note: This flag is only considered if scan_security_level=0.

EAN128 – Flag to enable EAN128 subtype.

ISBT128 – Flag to enable ISBT128 subtype.

Other128 – Flag to enable other (non EAN or ISBT) 128 subtype.

ISBT128 Concatenate Mode – The ISBT128 concatenation feature allows a pair of barcodes which meet certain criteria defined in the ISBT128 spec to be reported as a single barcode. This parameter describes the different concatenation modes available for ISBT128. Possible values are:

0 – (ISBT128_CONCAT_MODE_NEVER) Will ignore the barcode pair and only output decode data for only one of the barcodes.

1 – (ISBT128_CONCAT_MODE_ALWAYS) Will not decode if both the barcodes are not present or if one of them cannot be decoded.

2 – (ISBT128_CONCAT_MODE_AUTO) Auto-discriminate.

Check ISBT Table – Will decode concatenated output only if the pair belongs to one of the commonly concatenated pair as defined by the standard.

Security Level – Describes the CODE 128 security level. Possible values are:

0 – This setting allows the digital scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes;

1 – This default setting eliminates most misdecodes;

2 – Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes;

3 – If you selected Security Level 2 and misdecodes still occur, select this security level.

Note: Be advised, selecting SECURITY_LEVEL3 is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes. Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the digital scanner. If you need this level of security, try to improve the quality of the bar codes

Min Length – The minimum length decoded message the engine should return. Messages smaller than this minimum length are not reported by the engine.

Max Length – The maximum length decoded message the engine should return. Messages larger than this maximum length are not reported by the engine.
