Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator
Percent Decode
You can set how strict the validator grades each bar code. For example, the Percent Decode default value is 60%. This means that 60% of the scanned bar code must be readable for the validator to give the bar code a passing grade. You can set the Percent Decode parameter to a percentage value from 0% to 99%. The higher the percentage value chosen, the stricter the validator grades.

Defects
You can set how strict the validator grades the irregularities such as voids and spots found within elements and quiet zones for each bar code. For example, the default value for Defects is 20%. This means that if the bar code and quiet zone defects exceed 20%, the validator gives the bar code a failing grade. You can set the Defects parameter to a percentage value from 0% to 100%. The lower the percentage value chosen, the stricter the validator grades.
