- 79 - 5.14 Linear Code T ype Security Level The MS916 offers four levels of dec ode security for linear code types (e.g. Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5). Select higher security levels for decreasing levels of bar code quality . As security levels increase, the scan engine’s aggressiveness decreases. Select the security level appropriate for your ba[...]
