UPC-A and EAN-13 Decoding Levels
Decoding levels allow the decoder to be set to perform at one of four 
selectable levels:
• Very Conservative — Slower scan time, virtually eleminates mis-
reads. The most secure setting.
• Slightly More Aggressive — Faster scanning, more aggressive, yet 
minimiz
es misreads.
• Moderately Aggressive — Even faster scanning, even more aggres-
sive.
• Very Aggressive — Fastest scan speed, most aggressive.
CAUTION
Use caution when setting this feature, as the
 aggressive settings for this fea-
ture allow a higher potential for misreads.
To set this feature:
1. Scan the SWITCH barcode.
2. Scan the barcode representing the desired option on the following 
pages. Y
ou’ll need to cover any unused barcodes on facing pages to 
ensure that the scanner reads only the barcode you intend to scan.
3. Complete the programming sequence b
y scanning the SWITCH 
barcode.
NOTE
It is important to note that the default for this feature is the “Slightly More 
Aggressive” setting. For default settings for other features, see 
 Appendix E.
