Label Height.
Regardless of orientation, the measurement taken along the
length of a label’s individual bars.
Label Length.
Regardless of orientation, the measurement taken across
the label's bars from one end to the other, including the quiet zone.
Label Speed.
The rate in inches or centimeters per second at which a label
moves through the scan beam.
Ladder Label Orientation.
A bar code label in which the bars are parallel
to the label’s direction of travel.
Match Code.
The ability to compare bar code labels being scanned against
a master label that is stored in the memory of the scanner.
Menu Configuration.
The process of changing factory default settings via
a sequence of menus displayed on a terminal monitor.
Mil.
One thousandths of an inch or 0.0254 mm. In bar-coding, a measure-
ment that identifies a bar code label by the width of its narrowest element.
Mismatch.
An event that occurs when the scanned bar code label does not
match the master label that is stored in the memory of the scanner.
Multidrop.
A communications protocol for networking two or more scanners
or other devices with a concentrator (or controller) and characterized by the
use of individual device addresses and the RS-485 standard.
Narrow-bar-width.
The width of the narrowest bar of a given label,
expressed in thousands of an inch (or mils).
Non-volatile RAM (NOVRAM).
Random Access Memory that is available
on power-on; that is, after power to the unit has been recycled.
Noread.
A non-read.
A condition that occurs when the scanner is set up to
decode labels, and no labels are scanned during the read cycle.
Number of Scans Calculation.
The number of times a bar code label is
scanned by the scanner during one pass through the laser beam.
Object Detector.
A photo electric device used to sense to presence or
absence of an object.
Operational Commands.
Serial commands from the host to the scanner that
control current operating parameters, counters, master label operations, and
program management that are not stored in non-volatile RAM.
Oval Spot.
An elongated laser beam involving custom optics that is
designed to project lengthwise with the label's bars and spaces.
Picket Fence Label Orientation.
A bar code label in which the bars are
perpendicular to the label’s direction of travel.
