How to read a specific bar code that is surrounded by other nearby barcodes using Intermec Mobile Computers

By default, the Intermec scanner reads a barcode as soon as it appears in the imager's field of view. This works well in most situations, but when multiple barcodes are closely positioned, the scanner may grab the wrong one. Enabling Center Decoding requires the crosshair to be aimed directly at the desired barcode.

Enable Center Decoding

  1. Navigate to Start > Settings > System > Intermec Settings > Data Collection > Internal Scanner > Decode Security.
  2. Set Center Decoding to Enable.

After this change, the imager's aiming crosshair must be pointed directly at the barcode you want to scan.
