Areas of high reflectance (spaces) surrounding the machine-readable symbol. Quiet zone requirements may be found in application and symbology specifications. Sometimes called "Clear Area" or "Margin".
A clear space containing no machine readable marks, which precedes the Start Character of a bar code symbol and follows the Stop Character. Formerly referred to as "Clear Area" or "Light Margin."
Area leading or trailing a bar code with no encoded information.
Area immediately preceding the start character and following the stop character that contains no markings and is free of any extraneous marks. It is quiet in terms of the scanning signal produced.
An area free of any printing or marks that precedes the start character of a bar code and follows the stop character.
The light space at either side of a bar code which is needed by the scanner to detect the start and end of the code.
A clear space, containing no dark marks, that precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop characters. Sometimes called the ``clear area."
The blank area immediately preceding the start character and following the stop character.
A clear space, containing no machine readable marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code field and follows the stop characters. Sometimes called the "clear area."
In a bar code, an unmarked area preceding the leading bar and following the last bar.
Essential blank area preceding and following the first and last bars of a bar code, which determines the bar code's starting and ending points. Necessary for proper decoding, successful quite zones should be no smaller than 10 times the bar code's x dimension (width of the narrowest element).
The area of white space surrounding the barcode. This is required by the barcode reader for it to find the barcode on the page.
the clear area (margin) to the immediate left of the start character and to the right of the stop character. The margin contains no markings.
Barcodes have minimum areas of white space on both sides, called the quiet zone or Margin. Scanners use that space to synchronize barcodes.
The Quiet zone is the area preceding the beginning of a bar code and following the end of the bar code, sometimes call the clear area. The quiet zone should contain no dark markings that could confuse or be misinterpreted by a scanning device. A minimum of 10 times the narrowest bar element or a quarter of an inch, whichever is greater, should be maintained for the quiet zone area.
A clear space that precedes the start character of a barcode symbology and follows the stop character.
A clear space, containing no printed material, which precedes the start character of a bar code and follows the stop character of a bar code. (Also called "Clear area.") Plain, clear space/quiet zone must be a minimum of 3/8" for proper reads.
One of two spaces which precede the start character and follow the stop character in a bar code symbol No printing of any kind is allowed in the quiet zone.
