P 300 STD/FZY/PRO Scanner Product Reference Guide

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 SPOT SIZE The diameter of the spot of laser light scanning the bar code,

as measured at a given distance from the bar code. Smaller

spot sizes yield higher resolution but poorer depth of focus.

LED INDICATOR A semiconductor diode (LED - Light Emitting Diode) used as

an indicator, often in digital displays. The semiconduct or

uses applied voltage to produce light of a certain frequency

determined by the semiconductor's p articular chemical

composition.

MIL 1 mil = 1 thousandth of an inch.

MINIMUM REFLECTANCE

DIFFERENCE (MRD)

The difference in percentage between light reflected from

spaces (RS) and light reflected from bars (RB). MRD = %RS

- %RB.

MISREAD (Misdecode) A condition which occurs when the data output of a reader

or interface controller does not agree with the data encoded

within a bar code symbol.

MODULE The narrowest bar or space (unit of measure) in a code. The

term is used by the Uniform Code Council in its description

of UPC/EAN code; it is also used in the description of Code

128. Contiguous modules are used to form bars or spaces

which are wider than one unit.

MODULE ASPECT RATIO The ratio of height to width of the narrowest bar or space, or

unit of measure, in a bar code.

NANOMETRE A unit of measure used to define the wavelength of light.

Equal to 10-9 metre.

NOMINAL The exact (or ideal) intended value for a specified parameter.

Tolerances are specified as positive and negative deviations

from this value.
