Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator

Percent Decode

NOTE: This parameter factors into the Overall Grade (page 57).

You can set how strict the validator grades each bar code. For example, the Percent Decode default 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

NOTE: This parameter factors into the Overall Grade (page 57).

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 Defects default 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.
