d) Alphanumeric Characters
View Answer
Explanation: Alphanumeric characters are usually represented in bars and spaces in bar codes. These are unique characters specific to single material and will be used for identification purpose.
7. The length of the bars and spaces are determined by the duration of the corresponding reflection signals in barcodes.
a) False
b) True
View Answer
Explanation: The Width of the bars and spaces are determined by the duration of the corresponding reflection signals in barcodes. Width of bars and spaces will be taken as parameter for reading barcodes.
8. Which color does the space between the bars have in a typical barcode?
a) Green
b) White
c) Blue
d) Brown
View Answer
Explanation: In barcodes, the space between bars will be white in color. Opposite colors will be given for high contrast.
9. Which emits a beam of light that will be swept past the bar code?
a) Holder
b) Scanner
c) Mouse
d) Handle
View Answer
Explanation: In barcodes, scanner emits a beam of light that will be swept past the bar code. This can be done either manually or automatically. By sensing the light reflections, it can distinguish between the bars and spaces.
10. Which converts the spaces into electrical signal and bars into absence of electrical signal?
a) Spring
b) Photo detector
c) Pulley
d) Guided Wire
View Answer
Explanation: In barcodes, Photo detector performs the function of converting the spaces into electrical signal and bars into absence of electrical signal. It is a specialized device for detecting light reflections.
11. What does UPC mean in terms of item identification?
a) Unique Product Code
b) Universal Product Code
c) United Poly Code
d) Unique Poly Code
View Answer
Explanation: The abbreviated form of UPC is Universal Product Code. It is a standard code adopted by the grocery industry for item identification.
