PDF Prioritization (Parameter #719, SSI #F1h CFh)

Scan Enable PDF Prioritization to delay decoding certain 1D bar codes by the value specified in PDF Prioritization Timeout. During that time the scanner attempts to decode a PDF417 symbol, and if successful, reports this only. If it does not decode (cannot find) a PDF417 symbol, it reports the 1D symbol after the timeout. The 1D symbol must be in the scanner’s field of view for the scanner to report it.

Note

This parameter does not affect decoding other symbologies.

The 1D Code 128 bar code lengths include the following:

  • 7 to 10 characters
  • 14 to 22 characters
  • 27 to 28 characters

In addition, a Code 39 bar code with the following lengths are considered to potentially be part of a US driver’s license:

  • 8 characters
  • 12 characters

Scan one of the following bar codes to enable or disable PDF Prioritization. By default, this parameter is set to Disable.
