If you are using the device in a dark room or at night, you may need to increase the illumination brightness level to read barcodes more easily.

For those use cases, we added the setting UI of illumination brightness level in ScanSettings so that the users can use optimal brightness.


New!: The setting UI of illumination brightness level has been added to the PM67 & PM75 N360X scanner SKU as well.


Refer to APPLIES TO section to know the supporting SKU and OS version.
