Linear Code Type Security Level
(Does not apply to Code 128)
The P 300 Series scanner offers four levels of decode security for linear code types (e.g. Code
39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Select a higher security level for low quality bar codes. As security
levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases.
Select the security level appropriate for your bar code quality.
