Edge Contrast (EC) See Edge Contrast(min)
The difference between the space reflectance (Rs)
and adjoining bar reflectance (Rb).
EC = Rs - Rb
Edge Contrast (min)
This parameter grade can be “A” or “F.” Edge con-
trast is the Reflectance difference between adjoining
bars and spaces. The minimum edge contrast is the
smallest value of EC = R space – R bar found in the
scan.
The grade is determined by calculating the edge con-
trast of every element in a symbol and then compar-
ing the lowest value to a fixed threshold in the speci-
fication (15%).
If the value is equal to or greater than the threshold,
the grade is “A.” If the value is less than the thresh-
old, the grade is “F.”
Element
A generic term used to refer to either a bar or space
in a bar code symbol.
Element Edge
The location where the scan reflectance profile inter-
sects the midpoint between the space reflectance (R
space) and bar reflectance (R bar) of adjoining ele-
ments. Visual measuring techniques will generally
locate the element edge closer to the center of the
bar.
