Code 128 bar codes are vulnerable to misdecodes, particularly when Code
128 Lengths is set to Any Length. The engine offers four levels of decode
security for Code 128 bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between
security and engine aggressiveness. Increasing the level of security can
reduce scanning aggressiveness, so select only the level of security
necessary.
• Code 128 Security Level 0 - The engine operates in its most aggressive
state, while providing sufficient security in
decoding most in-spec bar codes.
• Code 128 Security Level 1 - This option eliminates most misdecodes
while maintaining reasonable
aggressiveness.
• Code 128 Security Level 2 - This option applies greater bar code
security requirements if Security Level 1
fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Code 128 Security 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, and significantly impairs the decoding ability of the engine.

providing sufficient security decoding most in-spec
bar codes.
• Security Level 1 - This setting eliminates most misdecodes while
maintaining reasonable aggressiveness.
• Security Level 2 - Select this option with greater bar code security
requirements if Security Level 1 fails to eliminate
misdecodes

3.13.6 GS1 DataBar Limited Margin Check

The engine offers four levels of decode security for GS1 DataBar Limited
bar codes. There is an inverse relationship between the level of margin
check and engine aggressiveness. Increasing the level of margin check
can reduce scanning aggressiveness, so select only the level of margin
check necessary.
•Margin Check Level 1 – No clear margin required. This complies with the
original GS1 standard, yet can result in
erroneous decoding of a DataBar Limited bar
code when scanning some UPC symbols that
start with digits 9 and 7.
• Margin Check Level 2 – Automatic risk detection. This level of margin
check can result in erroneous decoding of
DataBar Limited bar codes when scanning
some UPC symbols. If a misdecode is detected,
the engine operates in Level 3 or Level 1.
• Margin Check Level 3 – Margin check level reflects the newly proposed
GS1 standard that requires a five times trailing
clear margin.
• Margin Check Level 4 – Security level extends beyond the standard
required by GS1. This level of margin check
requires a five times leading and trailing clear
margin.

3.14 Symbology-Specific Security

Features
3.14.1 Redundancy Level

The engine offers four levels of decode redundancy. Select higher
redundancy levels for decreasing levels of bar code quality.
As redundancy levels increase, the engine’s aggressiveness decreases.
Scan one of the following bar codes to select the redundancy level
appropriate for the bar code quality:
• Redundancy Level 1 - The engine must read the following code types
twice before decoding:
♦ Codabar (8 characters or less)
♦ MSI (4 characters or less)
♦ D 2 of 5 (8 characters or less)
♦ I 2 of 5 (8 characters or less)
• Redundancy Level 2 - The engine must read all code types twice before
decoding.
• Redundancy Level 3 - The engine must read code types other than the
following twice before decoding, but must read
the following codes three times:
♦ Codabar (8 characters or less)
♦ MSI (4 characters or less)
♦ D 2 of 5 (8 characters or less)
♦ I 2 of 5 (8 characters or less)
• Redundancy Level 4 - The engine must read all code types three times
before decoding.

3.14.2 Security Level

The engine offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which
include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN/JAN, and Code 93. Select
increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There
is an inverse relationship between security and engine aggressiveness, so
choose only that level of security necessary for the application.
•Security Level 0 - The engine operates in its most aggressive state, while
providing sufficient security decoding most in-spec bar
codes.
•Security Level 1 - This default setting eliminates most misdecodes.
•Security Level 2 - Select this option if Security Level 1 fails to eliminate
misdecodes
•Security Level 3 - If you selected Security Level 2 and misdecodes still
occur, select this security level.
Note: Selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely
out-of-spec bar codes, and significantly impairs the decoding ability of the engine.
If this level of security is required, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Security Level 1*
Security Level 2

3.14.3 1D Quiet Zone Level

This feature sets the level of aggressiveness when decoding bar codes
with a reduced quiet zone (the margin on either side of a bar code), and
applies to symbologies enabled by a Reduced Quiet Zone parameter.
Because higher levels increase the decoding time and risk of misdecodes,
Zebra strongly recommends enabling only the symbologies which require
higher quiet zone levels, and leaving Reduced Quiet Zone disabled for all
other symbologies. Options are:
•1D Quiet Zone Level 0 - The engine performs normally in terms of quiet
zone.
•1D Quiet Zone Level 1 - The engine performs more aggressively in terms
of quiet zone.
•1D Quiet Zone Level 2 - The engine only requires a quiet zone at the end
of bar code for decoding.
•1D Quiet Zone Level 3 - The engine decodes anything in terms of quiet
zone or end of bar code.
1D Quiet Zone Level 0
1D Quiet Zone Level 1*

3.14.4 Intercharacter Gap Size

The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is
typically quite small. Due to various bar code printing technologies, this gap
can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the engine
from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large
Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar
codes.

4.11 Trigger Mode

Scan one of the following bar codes to select a trigger mode for the engine:
• Standard (Level) - A trigger press activates decode processing. Decode

processing continues until the bar code decodes, you
release the trigger.
• Presentation (Blink) - The engine activates decode processing when it

detects a bar code in its field of view. After a period of
non-use, the LEDs turn off until the engine senses
motion.
• Auto Aim - The engine projects the aiming pattern when it senses motion. A
trigger press activates decode processing. After two seconds of
inactivity the aiming pattern shuts off.
• Auto Aim with Illumination - The engine turns on the aiming pattern and
internal illumination LEDs when it senses
motion. A trigger press activates decode
processing. After two seconds of inactivity the
aiming pattern and internal illumination LEDs
automatically shut off.

Standard (Level)*
Presentation (Blink)

Auto Aim with Illumination

4.12 Picklist Mode

Scan one of the following bar codes to select a Picklist Mode, which allows
you to pick and decode a bar code from multiple bar codes printed close
together.
NOTE: Enabling Picklist Mode overrides the Disable Decode Aiming Pattern options. You can
not disable the decode aiming pattern when Picklist Mode is enabled.
•Enable Picklist Mode Always - Picklist Mode is always enabled.

•Disable Picklist Mode Always - Picklist Mode is always disabled.
Enable Picklist Mode Always
Disable Picklist Mode Always*

4.13 Continuous Bar Code Read

Scan Enable Continuous Bar Code Read to report every bar code while the
trigger is pressed.
NOTE: We strongly recommend enabling Picklist Mode. Disabling Picklist Mode can cause
accidental decodes when more than one bar code is in the engine's field of view.
Enable Continuous Bar Code Read
Disable Continuous Bar Code Read *
4.14 Unique Bar Code Reporting

Scan Enable Continuous Bar Code Read Uniqueness to report only unique
bar codes while the trigger is pressed. This option only applies when
Continuous Bar Code Read is enabled.
Enable Unique Bar Code Reporting
Disable Unique Bar Code Reporting *

4.15 Mirrored Image

Scan Enable Mirrored Images to scan images in reverse, or mirrored, as
if seen through a mirror. This mode is useful in applications requiring
scanning through a mirror and using symbologies that do not decode in
reverse. Enabling this mode when using snapshot, video, or video
viewfinder mode transmits images as mirrored images.
Disable Mirrored Image*
Enable Mirrored Image

4.16 Decode Session Timeout

This parameter sets the maximum time decode processing continues
during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from
0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default timeout is 9.9 seconds. To set a Decode
Session Timeout, scan the following bar code, and then scan two bar
codes from Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the
desired on time. Enter a leading zero for single digit numbers. For
example, to set a Decode Session Timeout of 0.5 seconds, scan this bar
code, and then scan the 0 and 5 bar codes. To correct an error or change
Decode Session Timeout

4.17 Timeout Between Decodes,

Same Symbol
Use this option in presentation mode or Continuous Bar Code Read mode
to prevent the engine from continuously decoding the same bar code
when it is left in the engine’s field of view. The bar code must be out of the
field of view for the timeout period before the engine reads the same
consecutive symbol. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from
0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default interval is 0.6 seconds. To select the
timeout between decodes for the same symbol, scan the following bar
code, and then scan two bar codes from Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes
that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments.
Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol

4.18 Timeout Between Decodes,

Different Symbols
Use this option in presentation mode or Continuous Bar Code Read to
control the time the engine waits before decoding a different symbol. It is
programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.1 to 9.9 seconds. The
default is 0.1 seconds.To select the timeout between decodes for different
symbols, scan the following bar code, and then scan two bar codes from
Appendix B, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired interval,
in 0.1 second increments.
Timeout Between Decodes, Different Symbols

4.19 Transmit “No Read” Message

Scan one of the following bar codes to set an option for transmitting the
No Read (NR) characters:
•Enable No Read - This transmits the characters NR when a successful

decode does not occur before trigger release or the
Decode Session Timeout expires.
•Disable No Read - This sends nothing to the host if a symbol does not
decode.
NOTE: If you enable Transmit No Read, and also enable Symbol Code ID Character or
AIM Code ID Character for Transmit Code ID Character, the engine appends the
code ID for Code 39 to the NR message.
This does not apply in presentation mode.
Enable No Read
Disable No Read*

4.20 Prefix/Suffix Values

You can append a prefix and/or one or two suffixes to scan data for use in
data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan one of the following
bar codes, and then scan four bar codes from Appendix B, Numeric Bar
Codes that correspond to that value. See Appendix A, ASCII Character
Sets for the four-digit codes. When using host commands to set the prefix
or suffix, set the key category parameter to 1, and then set the 3-digit
decimal value. See Appendix A, ASCII Character Sets for the four-digit
codes.The default prefix and suffix value is 7013 <CR><LF> (Enter key).
To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel.
NOTE: To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format.
Scan Prefix
Scan Suffix 1
Scan Suffix 2
Data Format Cancel

4.21 Scan Data Transmission Format

To change the scan data format, scan one of the following bar codes
corresponding to the desired format.
NOTE : If using this parameter do not use ADF rules to set the prefix/suffix.
Data As Is*
<DATA> <SUFFIX 1>
<DATA> <SUFFIX 2>
<DATA> <SUFFIX 1> <SUFFIX 2>

4.22 Transmit Code ID Character

A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This
is useful when decoding more than one code type. In addition to any
single character prefix selected, the Code ID character is inserted
between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character.
For Code ID characters, see Symbol Code Identifiers and AIM Code Identifiers.

4.24 Low Light Scene Detection

Scan one of the following bar codes to allow the engine to detect motion
in dim to dark illumination environments when in presentation mode:
• No Low Light Scene Detection - The engine attempts to detect motion

as best it can with the aim pattern
and illumination turned off when the
engine is idle.
• Aiming Pattern Low Light Assist Scene Detection –
Illumination is off, but the aim pattern is on when the engine is idle to
assist in scene detection.
• Dim Illumination Low Light Assist Scene Detection –
The aim pattern is off, but illumination is on at a dim level to assist in
scene detection.
