● Defects:
Irregularities in elements and quiet zones measured based on the non-uniformity of the
reflectance of the elements.
● Modulation:
Ratio of the minimum edge contrast to the symbol contrast.
● Start quiet zone:
Area outside the start codeword with a length of 10 modules.
● Stop quiet zone:
Area outside the stop codeword with a length of 10 modules.
