3.15.4 Intercharacter Gap Size 
The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is 
typically quite small. Due to various bar code printing technologies, this gap 
can grow larger than the maximum size allowed, preventing the engine 
from decoding the symbol. If this problem occurs, scan the Large 
Intercharacter Gaps parameter to tolerate these out-of-specification bar 
codes.
