Symbology.
An electronic device used to scan bar code symbols and produce a digitized pattern that
corresponds to the bars and spaces of the symbol. Its three main components are:
1. Light source (laser or photoelectric cell) - illuminates a bar code.
2. Photodetector - registers the difference in reflected light (more light reflected from spaces).
3. Signal conditioning circuit - transforms optical detector output into a digitized bar pattern.
The scanner is energized, programmed and ready to read a bar code.
A method of programming or configuring parameters for a bar code reading system by
scanning bar code menus.
Symbol Mobility Developer Kit
A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters
of a bar code symbol.
Shared Key authentication is an algorithm where both the AP and the MU share an
authentication key.
The lighter element of a bar code formed by the background between bars.
The mirror-like direct reflection of light from a surface, which can cause difficulty decoding a
bar code.
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.
A 32-bit number used to separate the network and host sections of an IP address. A custom
subnet mask subdivides an IP network into smaller subsections. The mask is a binary pattern
that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for
subnets. Default is often 255.255.255.0.
A foundation material on which a substance or image is placed.
A scannable unit that encodes data within the conventions of a certain symbology, usually
including start/stop characters, quiet zones, data characters and check characters.
The ratio of symbol height to symbol width.
The distance between the outside edges of the quiet zones of the first row and the last row.
Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the
start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
The structural rules and conventions for representing data within a particular bar code type
(e.g. UPC/EAN, Code 39).
