UPC/EAN Global Settings

This section provides configuration settings for UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN 13 and EAN 8

symbologies, and affects all of these unless otherwise marked for each feature description.

UPC/EAN Decoding Level

Decoding Levels are used to configure a barcode symbology decoder to be very aggressive

to very conservative depending on a particular customer’s needs.

• Choosing Level 1 results in a very conservative decoder at the expense of not being able to

read poorly printed or damaged labels.

• Choosing Level 5 results in a very aggressive decoder. This aggressive behavior allows

decoding of poorly printed and damaged labels at the expense of increasing the likelihood

of decoding errors.

• Choosing Level 3, which is the default setting, allows the majority of product labels to be

decoded.

There are many factors that determine when to change the decoding level for a particular

symbology. These factors include spots, voids, non-uniform bar/space widths, damaged

labels, etc. that may be experienced in some barcode labels. If there are many hard to read

or damaged labels that cannot be decoded using a conservative setting, increase the de-

coding level to be more aggressive. If the majority of labels are very good quality labels,

or there is a need to decrease the possibility of a decoder error, lower the decoding level

to a more conservative level.
