Intercharacter Gap Size

Parameter # F0h, 7Dh

The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is typically quite small. Due to various

bar code-printing technologies, this gap can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the digital

imager scanner from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large Intercharacter Gaps

parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar codes.

*Normal Intercharacter Gaps
