Code 39 Security Level

Parameter # 750

The imager offers four levels of decode security for Code 39 bar codes. There is an inverse relationship

between security and imager aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security can reduce scanning

aggressiveness, so select only the level of security necessary.

•

Code 39 Security Level 0: This setting allows the imager to operate in its most aggressive state, while

providing sufficient security in decoding most in-spec bar codes.

•

Code 39 Security Level 1: This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.

•

Code 39 Security Level 2: Select this option with greater bar code security requirements if Security

Level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.

•

Code 39 Level 3: If you selected Security Level 2, and misdecodes still occur, select this security level

to apply the highest safety requirements.

NOTE Selecting this option 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 imager. If this level of

security is required, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.
