If you are using the PM550 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.
Refer to APPLIES TO section to know the supporting SKU and OS version.
