Black-and-white inverted label read function (INVERT)

Standard labels are made up of black bars on a white background, however, this function makes it

possible to read white bars on a black background.

− Note − Enabling this function may increase the frequency of barcode read errors. This function

should normally be set to “OFF” (inverted label reading prohibited).

DECODE LEVEL

The decode level may be set by the user. Lowering the level increases the barcode scanning efficiency,

however, the risk of misreading poor-quality barcodes (broken bars, dirty) also increases. Raising the

level, on the other hand, decreases the barcode scanning efficiency, but lowers the possibility of

misreading.

The setting range for the decode level is 1 to 9, with the default level set to 4.

Minimum digits for ITF, STF and CODABAR

The minimum digits can be set for ITF, STF and CODABAR. Depending on how barcodes are scanned

and the barcode quality and so on, setting a small number of digits increases the risk of missing digits or

misreading. Setting a large number of digits, on the other hand, reduces this risk.

The setting range is 2 to 20 for ITF, 1 to 20 for STF, and 3 to 20 for CODABAR, with the default settings

being 4, 3, and 4, respectively.
