public bool EnableInvertedSymbols { get; set; }
true to force the Datamatrix engine to search for both inverted and normal (non-inverted) symbols. Otherwise, false. The default value is false.
The Datamatrix reader engine can automatically read inverted symbols. An inverted symbol is one that has white foreground color and black background for example.
Notice that the colors to search for when reading Datamatrix barcodes can be set using ForeColor and BackColor. When EnableInvertedSymbols is true, the engine will use the two colors specified and then automatically flip them and try again if it cannot find the symbol.
