Leuze electronic BPS 8 Original Operating Instructions page 37

If the bar code tape cannot be affixed without interruption, the tape-free gap should be wider
than 300 mm. When passing over the gap, the scanning beam can therefore always only
read the preceding or subsequent position bar code.
Make sure that when starting the bar code tape after the gap approx. 10 position bar codes
are cut off, because there may otherwise be an output of the same position values before
and after the gap.

NOTE
No glossy gaps in the cut bar code tape!
 Ensure that there are matt, bright surfaces behind the gaps in the BCB.
Polished, reflective, and high-gloss surfaces in the scanning beam may impair the
measurement quality of the BPS.
