Definition of terms
Bar The dark element of a bar code. Space The light element between two bars of a barcode symbol. Element A bar or space in a bar code symbol. Module The narrowest element in a bar code. Wide bars or spaces are expressed in multiples of modules. Module width X The width of the narrowest element. Quiet zone Also called light margin or clear area. It is the blank area before and after the bar code. The quiet zone Q is necessary for setting the reading direction of the bar code symbol. The quiet zone must be at least 10 times the X dimension with anyway a minimum width of 2.5 mm. In scanner applications involving a large depth of field, the quiet zone must be wider: Q = 15 times the X dimension with a minimum width of 6.5 mm. Bar Code Symbol The bar code symbol consists of a bar code, two quiet zones and an interpretation line. The bar code includes encoded data, which consists of coloured bars and blank spaces. The quiet zone precedes and follows the bar code and helps to identify the object to decode. The interpretation line is positioned below the bar code and translates all of the encoded information into readable characters.
Code 2/5 Interleaved Only digits 0 through 9 can be encoded Both bars and spaces carry information(interleaved) Print ratio R between the narrow/wide elements is 1:2 to 1:3 High information density = short code length. (e.g. 2.7 mm per digit at a module width of 0.3 mm and V= 1:3) The number of digits is equal to the number of thick strips minus 1 (without check digit) The use of a check digit is recommended, since this makes the information in the code self-checking
Code 39 Digits 0 through 9, 26 letters, and 7 special characters can be encoded Each character consists of 9 elements (5 bars and 4 spaces) Print ratio R is 1:2 or 1:3 Low information density = large code length (e.g. 4.8 mm per character for a module width of 0.3 mm and R = 1:3)
Code 128 Complete ASCII character set divided into 3 character sets, designated A, B, and C (similar to the EAN128 code) Each character consists of 3 bars and 3 spaces and has a total of 11 times the module width. High information density = short code length. Only small printing tolerances are possible.
Code EAN8 / EAN13 These codes have exactly 8 or 13 places and are used only in trade Digits 0 through 9 can be encoded The code consists of 2 parts which are separated by start/stop codes Both bars and spaces carry information High information density in 10 fixed code lengths (SC0 through SC9). Only very small printing tolerances are possible.
T-code variants In this system, barcodes can be read with a line scanners without orientation. The barcode is printed twice (T-code) at a 90 angle. The barcode height (stripe length) must be larger than the barcode width, and high transport speeds and low packet spacing can be achieved. The disadvantage here is the larger space requirement for the barcode label.
READING PRINCIPLES
Omnistation
In order to detect barcodes in any position in a broad area, due to continually developing technologies, stationary omnireaders are used. At least two scanners are needed. Depending on requirements, the station can be extended with additional scanners to form a multiside reading station. These stations can also provide high reading power for highspeed conveyor systems.

The VB14A has a new reconstruction procedure for the reading of barcodes with damage or at larger angles. It offers a connection option for a mountable oscillating mirror (OM-VB14A). The main interface can be parameterised for RS 232 or RS 485.

The VB3x series can achieve up to 1200 scans per second and can work with all current standard codes. Devices with or without integrated raster scanners are available, with a display and function keys for easy operation. Five application-specific modes usually offer the right pre-set values.

Range of application
Data recording in the sales area Process control Logistics applications As accessory components, suitable stands, holders, belt holders, and transmitter/ charging stations are available.
12
The settings for optimisation of read reliability, like illumination, resolution, code type, and reading field, are performed automatically. Thus 2D codes are read with a speed similar to that for barcodes. With the powerful 1950 mAh lithium ion battery, long-term mobile use is no problem. The reader communicates through RS232, PS2, USB, or over Bluetooth up to 100m in range.
