Decode UPC/EAN Supplemen-
tal Redundancy
With Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supple-
mentals selected, this option adjusts the num-
ber of times a symbol without supplementals
is decoded before transmission. The range is
from two to twenty times. Five or above is rec-
ommended when decoding a mix of UPC/
EAN symbols with and without supplemen-
tals, and the autodiscriminate option is select-
ed.
Scan the bar code below to select a decode re-
dundancy value. Next, scan two numeric bar
codes from the Product Reference Guide (page
8-12) . Single digit numbers must have a lead-
ing zero. If you make an error, or wish to
change your selection, scan CANCEL in the
Product Reference Guide (page 8-12).

Linear CodeType Security
Level
(Does not apply to Code 128)
The LS 4800 offers four levels of decode secu-
rity for linear code types (e.g. Code 39, Inter-
leaved 2 of 5). Higher security levels are
selected for decreasing levels of bar code
quality. As security levels increase, the scan-
ner’s aggressiveness decreases.
Select the security level appropriate for your
bar code quality.
Linear Security Level 1
The following code types must be successful-
ly read twice before being decoded:

Bi-directional Redundancy
This parameter is only valid when a Linear
Code Type Security Level has been enabled.
When this parameter is enabled, a bar code
must be successfully scanned in both direc-
tions (forward and reverse) before being de-
coded.

UPC/EAN Security Level
The LS 4800 offers four levels of decode secu-
rity for UPC/EAN bar codes. Increasing lev-
els of security are provided for decreasing
levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse
relationship between security and scanner ag-
gressiveness, so be sure to choose only that
level of security necessary for any given ap-
plication.
UPC/EAN Security Level 0
This is the default setting which allows the
scannertooperateinitsmostaggressivestate,
while providing sufficient security in decod-
ing “in-spec” UPC/EAN bar codes.
UPC/EAN SECURITY LEVEL 0
UPC/EAN Security Level 1
As bar code quality levels diminish, certain
characters become prone to mis-decodes be-
fore others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If you are experienc-
ing mis-decodes of poorly printed bar codes,
and the mis-decodes are limited to these char-
acters, select this security level.
UPC/EAN SECURITY LEVEL 1

Revision A: July 1997
10-36
UPC/EAN Security Level 2
Ifyou areexperiencing mis-decodesof poorly
printed bar codes, and the mis-decodes are
not limited to characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select
this security level.
UPC/EAN SECURITY LEVEL 2
UPC/EAN Security Level 3
If you have tried Security Level 2, and are still
experiencing misdecodes, select this security
level. Be advised, selecting this option is an
extreme measure against mis-decoding se-
verely out of spec bar codes. Selection of this
level of security significantly impairs the de-
coding ability of the scanner. If this level of se-
curity is necessary, you should try to improve
the quality of your bar codes.

again.

Set Lengths for Code 93
Lengths for Code 93 may be set for any
length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths
within a specific range. The length of a code
referstothenumberof characters(i.e.,human
readable characters), including check digit(s)
the code contains.
OneDiscreteLength -Thisoptionallows you
to decode only those codes containing a se-
lected length. For example, if you select Code
93 One Discrete Length , then scan 1 , 4 , only
Code 93 symbols containing 14 characters are
decoded. See the Product Reference Guide for
numeric bar codes. If you make an error or
wish to change your selection, scan
CANCEL in the Product Reference Guide
(page 8-12).
CODE 93 - ONE DISCRETE LENGTH
Two Discrete Lengths - This option allows
you to decode only those codes containing
two selected lengths. For example, if you
select Code 93 Two Discrete Lengths , then
scan 0 , 2 , 1 , 4 , only Code 93 symbols con-
taining 2 or 14 characters are decoded. See
the Product Reference Guide for numeric bar
codes. If you make an error or wish to
change your selection, scan CANCEL in the
Product Reference Guide (page 8-12).

Length Within Range - This option allows
you to decode a code type within a speci-
fied range. For example, to decode Code 93
symbols containing between 4 and 12 char-
acters, first scan Code 93 Length Within
Range . Then scan 0 , 4 , 1, and 2 (single digit
numbers must always be preceded by a lead-
ing zero). See the Product Reference Guide for
numeric bar codes. If you make an error or
wish to change your selection, scan
CANCEL in the Product Reference Guide
(page 8-12).

to decode Code 93 symbols containing any
number of characters.

code into EAN-13, and transmits to the host
as EAN-13. In order to accomplish this, the I 2
of 5 code must be enabled, one length must be
set to 14, and the code must have a leading
zero and a valid EAN-13 check digit.
