Note: The fewer barcode types are selected, the faster the plugin performs. Selecting only the
expected barcodes is therefore a good practice.
Barcode orientations
Barcode orientations represent a barcode orientation on an image. For example, when the left-to-right
option is checked, the task will try to read the barcode value assuming that the barcode data should be
read in a left-to-right fashion.
Note: The fewer orientations are selected, the faster the task performs.

sum and the option Force checksum validation is checked, no barcode will be detected on the
