13 - 56 DS36X8 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
Codabar Security Level
Parameter # 1776 (SSI # F8h 06h F0h)
The digital scanner offers four levels of decode security for Codabar barcodes. There is an inverse relationship
between security and scanner aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security can reduce scanning
aggressiveness, so select only the level of security necessary.
• Codabar Security Level 0: This setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while
providing sufficient security in decoding most in-spec barcodes.
• Codabar Security Level 1: This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.
• Codabar Security Level 2: Select this option with greater barcode security requirements if Security Level 1
fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Codabar Security Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still occur, select this security
level to apply the highest safety requirements.
NOTE This parameter applies to all DS36X8 configurations with the exception of the DS36X8-DP and
DS36X8-DPA.
NOTE Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out-of-spec barcodes, and
significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is required, try to improve
the quality of the barcodes.
