Sets the security level to ensure decoding accuracy considering

Options are:

Level
Description
With this default, the scan engine is aggressive
enough to decode most “in-spec” barcodes.
Select this level if misdecodes have occurred. It
fixes most misdecodes.
Select this level if Level 1 should fail to eliminate
misdecodes.
Select this level if Security Level 2 should fail to
prevent misdecodes. However, as this level actually
impairs the decoding ability of the decoder, a safer
solution would be to improve the quality of the bar
codes to read.
Sets the intercharacter gap size for Code 39 and Codabar. This
option is to allow the digital scanner to adjust its decoding
standard so as to tolerate out-of-specification bar codes that
are improperly printed out (which may cause the intercharacter
size to become larger). Switch between Normal and Large.
Normal
Sets the reader’s scanning behavior.
Level
Level: The decoding process is activated by a trigger event,
and continues until the trigger event ends, a valid decode
