1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.9 READ REDUNDANCY (1D) Select the level of reading security. For example, If "No Redundancy" is selected, one successful decoding will make the reading valid and induce the "READER Event". If "Two Times" is selected, it will take a total of three consecutive successful decoding of the same barcode to make the reading valid.
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.10 ADDON SECURITY FOR UPC/EAN BARCODES The scanner is capable of decoding a mix of UPC/EAN barcodes with and without addons. The read redundancy (2~30 times) allows changing the number of times to decode a UPC/EAN barcode before transmission.
1564 Barcode Scanner User Guide 1.11 AUTO-SENSE MODE This mode is only available when you want to seat the scanner in the Auto-Sense stand. When you enable this mode, it will force the scanner to apply Laser mode as the scan mode.
Chapter 1 Understanding the Barcode Scanner 1.12 NEGATIVE BARCODES Normally, barcodes are printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative barcodes, they are printed in the opposite sense just like negative films. The spaces of negative barcodes are printed with a color darker than that of the bars.
