UPC/EAN Security Level
Parameter Default Value: Level 0
Use this parameter to determine the security level appropriate for UPC/EAN barcode quality.
There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so be sure to choose
only that level of security necessary for any given application.
There are four decode security levels. Higher security levels are selected for decreasing levels of
barcode quality. As security levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases.
Select an option by scanning one of the barcodes shown below. If you wish to change your
selection, scan Cancel.
UPC/EAN Security
Level 0 The default setting. Allows the scanner to
operate in its most aggressive state, while
providing sufficient security in decoding
“in-spec” UPC/EAN barcodes.
UPC/EAN Security Lev
