The simplest way to set barcode types:

var barcodeTypes = dbr.formats.OneD;
decodeFileAsync(fileName, barcodeTypes, callback);

Alternatively, you can use template:

// From file
template = fs.readFileSync("<template file>");

// From JSON object
let params = {
    "Version": "2.0",
    "ImageParameter": {
      "Name": "Custom_143301_827",
      "BarcodeFormatIds": [
        "PDF417"
      ],
      "ExpectedBarcodesCount": 9,
      "ScaleDownThreshold": 1200000,
      "BinarizationBlockSize": 5
    }
  };
template = JSON.stringify(params);

decodeFileAsync(fileName, 0, callback, template);
