Have you tried the MC75A0 or MC55A0 with the DL focusing in the SE4500?  In healthcare we must read extremely small barcodes on the small single-syringe dose medicine bottles and required this DL focusing.  They are not EAN, but I think you should definitely try it on your symbols also.  Be sure all the parameters are enabled correctly too.
