Initial 1D Search Area (Camera)

The camera uses the initial 1D search area parameter to perform a quick horizontal search on part of the image to find the 1D bar code to be decoded. If the camera finds the 1D bar code with the current setting, it decodes it. If the camera does not find the bar code with the chosen setting, it will continue to do an omni-directional search on the rest of the image. Initial 1D Search Area optimizes 1D horizontal decoding and is only applied to activated 1D symbologies.

Options for Initial 1D Search Area are Center, Upper Half, Lower Half, Full, and Smart Raster.
