Symbol Technologies LS4208 Intercharacter Gap

Symbologies 12-51

Bi-directional Redundancy

Enable Bi-directional Redundancy to add security to linear code type security levels. When enabled, a bar code must be successfully

scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before reporting a good decode.

Intercharacter Gap

The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is customarily quite small. Due to various bar code printing

technologies, this gap may grow larger than the maximum size allowed, causing the scanner to be unable to decode the symbol. If

this problem is encountered, scan Large Intercharacter Gaps to tolerate out-of-specification bar codes.
