Preferred Symbol is an innovative barcode scanning software developed by Zebra Technologies. It offers a solution for scenarios where multiple barcodes are present on a single label or in close proximity. The software allows users to configure their scanners to automatically detect and prioritize specific barcodes while excluding others. This functionality saves time and reduces errors by eliminating the need for manual barcode covering or selection.
