User Preferences & Miscellaneous Digital Scanner Options 5 - 31
PDF Prioritization
Parameter # 719
Enable this feature to delay decoding a 1D bar code (Code 128) by the value specified in PDF Prioritization
Timeout. During that time the digital 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 digital scanner to
report it. This parameter does not affect decoding other symbologies.
PDF Prioritization Timeout
Parameter # 720
When PDF Prioritization is enabled, this timeout specifies how long the digital scanner attempts to decode a
PDF417 symbol before reporting the 1D bar code in the field of view.
Scan the following bar code, then scan four digits from Numeric Bar Codes on page D-1 that specify the
timeout in milliseconds. For example, to enter 400 msec, scan the following bar code, then scan 0400. The
range is 0 to 5000 msec, and the default is 200 msec.
NOTE
The 1D Code 128 bar code lengths include the following:
• 7 to 10 characters
• 14 to 17 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
