Symbol Contrast

NOTE: This parameter factors into the Overall Grade (page 57). The higher the value, the stricter the criterion for passing.

Symbol Contrast represents the contrast between the bars and spaces in the bar code used by the validator for pass/fail threshold used during the analysis of bar codes. The bar code must have a certain level of contrast to be recognized by the validator. Bar codes with a symbol contrast below the threshold will fail.

You can set the Symbol Contrast parameter to a percentage value from 0% to 100%. The default is 30%.

NOTE: To disable this parameter, set Symbol Contrast to 0%.

Gain

This menu item sets the scanner gain setting. This allows you to adjust the amplitude (height) of the space/bar transitions as seen on a Scan Profile to optimize the validator hardware for applications where standard settings make the bar codes unreadable.

NOTE: This menu does not have a default setting because the value is hardware dependent. The initial value is read from the validator’s flash memory.

After the initial value has been determined, you can set the Gain parameter to a value from 1 to 255.
