Code39NeedStartStop - expect the Code 39 start/stop character

Overview

When set to TRUE the toolkit will only report Code 39 barcodes that start and end with a * character.

Setting this property to FALSE is not recommended for the following reasons:

It is not a valid Code 39 barcode without the start and stop * character.

Without a start/stop * character, a Code 39 barcode reads with 2 different values, left to right, and right to left. The toolkit will report it as 2 different barcodes unless the scan direction is restricted to one direction only.

The probablility of a false positive reading is increased significantly by setting this property to FALSE.

Type: BOOL
Default value: TRUE
