Quiet Zone

Used when the leading and trailing edges of the symbols are smaller than the standard margin or other objects encroach into the margins.

Allows the scanner to read 1D symbols with quiet zones less than 8 times the width of the narrow bar element. The Quiet Zone is the space at the leading and trailing ends of a symbol. Each quiet zone can be as narrow as only five times the width of the narrow bar element when Quiet Zone is Enabled and set to Narrow or Narrow, Enhanced.

Note: Do not use Narrow or Narrow, Enhanced when Large Intercharacter Gap is enabled for Code 39, unless Symbol Reconstruction is also enabled.

Note: Any Quiet Zone setting other than Standard will increase processing requirements.
