  • Page 95 Aperture The opening in an optical system defined by a lens or baffle that establishes the field of view. ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus- parity code representing 128 letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.
  • Page 96 LS 2106 Product Reference Guide Byte On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit.
  • Page 97 Code Length Number of data characters in a bar code between the start and stop characters, not including those characters. Continuous Code A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.
  • Page 98 LS 2106 Product Reference Guide IEC (825) Class 1 This is the lowest power IEC laser classification. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 120 seconds of laser operation within any 1000 second window and an automatic laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails.
  • Page 99 Percent Decode The average probability that a single scan of a bar code would result in a successful decode. In a well-designed bar code scanning system, that probability should approach near 100%. Print Contrast Signal Measurement of the contrast (brightness difference) between the bars and spaces of a symbol.
  • Page 100 LS 2106 Product Reference Guide Start/Stop Character A pattern of bars and spaces that provides the scanner with start and stop reading instructions and scanning direction. The start and stop characters are normally to the left and right margins of a horizontal code.
