CODE 3 OF 9 (CODE 39) - A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code

symbology with a set of 43 character types, including all uppercase letters,

numerals from 0 to 9, and 7 special characters (- . / + % $ and space). The code

name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are

wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.

CODE 93 - An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a

full character ASCII set and a higher coding density than Code 39.

CONTINUOUS SYMBOLOGY - A bar code or symbol in which all spaces

within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a

continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.

DECODE - To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then

analyze the content of the speciﬁc bar code scanned.

DECODE ALGORITHM - A decoding scheme that converts pulse widths into

data representation of the letters or numbers encoded within a bar code

symbol.

DISCRETE SYMBOLOGY - A bar code or symbol in which the spaces

between characters (intercharacter gaps) are not part of the code.

DISCRETE 2 OF 5 - A binary bar code symbology representing each character

by a group of ﬁve bars, two of which are wide. The location of wide bars in the

group determines which character is encoded; spaces are insigniﬁcant. Only

numeric characters (0 to 9) and START/STOP characters may be encoded.

EAN - European Article Number. This European/International version of the

UPC provides its own coding format and symbology standards. Element

dimensions are speciﬁed metrically. EAN is used primarily in retail.

HOST COMPUTER - A computer that serves other terminals in a network,

providing such services as computation, database access, supervisory

programs, and network control.

IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission. This international agency

regulates laser safety by specifying various laser operation classes based on

power output during operation.
