Glossary

IEC CLASS I (IEC 825 Class I) - This is the lowest power IEC laser

classiﬁcation. Conformity is ensured through a software restriction of 25

seconds of laser operation within any 100 second window and an automatic

laser shutdown if the scanner's oscillating mirror fails.

INTERCHARACTER GAP - The space between two adjacent bar code

characters in a discrete bar code.

INTERLEAVED BAR CODE - A bar code in which characters are paired

together, using bars to represents the ﬁrst character and the intervening spaces

to represent the second.

INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 - A binary bar code symbology r epr esenting character

pairs in groups of ﬁve bars and ﬁve interleaved spaces. Interleaving provides

for greater information density. The location of wide elements (bar/spaces)

within each group determines which characters are encoded. This

continuous code type uses no intercharacter spaces. Only numeric (0 to 9)

and START/STOP characters may be encoded.

LASER - An acronym for Light Ampliﬁcation by Stimulated Emission of

Radiation. The laser is an intense light source. Light from a laser is all the same

frequency, unlike the output of an incandescent bulb. Laser light is typically

coherent and has a high energy density.

LASER DIODE - A semiconductor type of laser connected to a power source

to generate a laser beam. This laser type is a compact source of coherent light.

PARAMETER - A variable that can have different values assigned to it.

PROGRAMMING MODE - The state in which a scanner is conﬁgured for

parameter values. See SCANNING MODE.

QUIET ZONE - A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the

start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character.

REDUNDANCY - A decoding method which requires a bar code be

recognized redundantly on a number of sweeps of the scan beam before a

decode is declared. While slowing the time-to-decode, redundancy can help

lower the possibility of a mis-decode of poorly printed symbols.
