Glossary-2
Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information.
Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The
pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.
Bits transmitted or received.
Bootstrap protocol.
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. One byte in memory can be used to
store one ASCII character.
A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of
digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (- $ : / , +).
A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode
all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra symbol elements.
A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology
with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters,
numerals from 0 to 9, and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and
space). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9
elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining
6 are narrow.
An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering
a full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code
39.
A cradle is used for charging the terminal battery and for
communicating with a host computer, and provides a storage
place for the terminal when not in use.
A device (such as a modem) which is designed to attach directly
to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device.
A device (such as a terminal or printer) which is designed to
attach directly to a DCE (Data Communications Equipment)
device.
Refer to Data Communications Equipment.
To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128,
Code 3 of 9, UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the bar
code scanned.
