4 - 24 DS2208 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
PDF Prioritization
Parameter # 719
SSI # F1h CFh
Scan Enable PDF Prioritization to delay decoding certain 1D bar codes (see Note below) by the value specified in
PDF Prioritization Timeout. During that time the scanner attempts to decode a PDF417 symbol (e.g., on a US
driver's license), and if successful, reports this only. If it does not decode (can not find) a PDF417 symbol, it reports
the 1D symbol after the timeout. The 1D symbol must be in the device’s field of view for the scanner to report it.
This parameter does not affect decoding other symbologies.
PDF Prioritization Timeout
Parameter # 720
SSI # F1h D0h
If you enabled PDF Prioritization, set this timeout to indicate how long the scanner attempts to decode a PDF417
symbol before reporting the 1D bar code in the field of view.
Scan the following bar code, and then scan four bar codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes that specify the
timeout in milliseconds. For example, to enter 400 ms, scan the following bar code, and then scan 0400. The range
is 0 to 5000 ms, and the default is 200 ms.
NOTE
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
