Motorola LS3578 Q, R, S

Glossary - 6 Symbol LS3578 Product Reference Guide

Print Contrast Signal (PCS). Measuremen t of the co nt ra st (b rig ht ne ss dif ference) between the bars and spaces of a

symbol. A minimum PCS value is needed for a bar code symbol to be scannable. PCS = (RL - RD) / RL, where RL is

the reflectance factor of the background and RD the reflectance factor of the dark bars.

Programming Mode. The state in which a scanner is configured for parameter values. See Scanning Mode.

Q

Quiet Zone. A clear space, containing n o dark marks, which pr ecedes the start character of a b ar code symbol and follows

the stop charac te r.

QWERTY. A standard keyboard commonly used on North American and some Euro pean PC keyboards. “QWERTY” r efers

to the arrangement of keys on the left side of the third row of keys.

R

Reflectance. Amoun t of ligh t returned from an illuminated surface .

Resolution. The narrowe st element dimension which is distinguished by a particul ar readin g de vice or printed with a

particular device or method.

RF. Radio Frequency.

RS-232. An Electronic Industrie s Association (EIA) standard that defi nes the connector, connector pins, and signals used to

transfer data serially from one device to another.

S

Scan Area. Area intended to contain a symbol.

Scanner. An electronic device us ed to scan bar code symbols and p roduce a digitized pa ttern that correspo nds 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.

Scanning Mode. The scanner is energized, programmed and ready to read a bar code.

Scanning Sequence. A method of programming or config uring parameters for a bar code reading system by scannin g bar

code menus.

Self-Checking Code. A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar

code symbol.

Space. The lighter element of a bar code formed by the background between bars.

Specular Reflection. The mirror-like dire ct reflection of light from a surface, which can cause difficulty decoding a bar code.
