ECC:
An acronym for Error Correction Code. See error correction.
ECI:
An acronym for Extended Channel Interpretation. This refers to a method used in
2-dimensional bar codes to encode characters in other code sets then ASCII.
Emulation:

accept the same data and perform the same functions as the actual device.
Enable:
To enable an option means, to activate it.
Error correction:
The possibility to correct read errors in a bar code. Most 2D bar codes have extra
information that allows correction of the bar code. This makes it possible to read
(partly) damaged bar codes.
Fixed length:
Relates to a symbol in which the data elements must be of specific length.
Flow control:
See handshaking.
Format:
A message or data structure that allows identification of control and data parts by their

Handshaking:

data transmission. The first unit sends a signal, then waits for an appropriate signal in
response. A handshake method (such as XON/ XOFF), parity setting, number of data
bits, and number of stop bits.
