(*1) Reading wide bars
EAN-13 and UPC-A barcodes may be wider than the readable area of the barcode reading window.
Such wider bars can be read by long-distance scanning. Pull the barcode reading window away from
the barcode so that the entire barcode comes into the illumination range.
(*2) Specifying Code 128 makes it possible to read not only Code 128 but also EAN-128.
