a bar code symbol is “printed” or reproduced.
Symbol
See Bar code symbol.
Symbol Contrast (SC)
This parameter grade can be “A,” “B,” “C,” “D” or “F.”
Symbol contrast is the difference in reflectance
values of the “lightest” space (including the quiet
zone) and the “darkest” bar of the symbol. The
greater the difference, the higher the grade.
SC = Rmax - Rmin
Symbol Grade
The simple average of all the overall profile grades
using the standard weighing
4.0 = A
3.0 = B
2.0 = C
1.0 = D
0.0 = F
The symbol grade may be stated as a decimal or
converted to a letter grade. A measuring aperture
number and nominal wavelength are also specified.
Symbology
A set of rules for encoding information in a bar code
symbol.
Symbology Reference Decode Algorithm
A decoding algorithm that may be found in a
particular application and/or symbology specification.
