A label usually contains human readable text and one or more bar
code symbols that appear within the Reader scan area on a package.
Each bar code symbol may have different characteristics such as
symbology, prefixes, lengths, or check characters. The bar code
symbols must be oriented in the same direction if read by a single
scanner.
Below is an example of a typical label.

By defining the expected content of a label, you can reduce the
possibility of a misread and increase the read rate. AdaptaScan
software can store and exchange label setups between Readers,
allowing you to create a library of label configurations.
