Definitions

  • ABSTRACT An electronic identification system for obtaining information from data-encoded labels in which a plurality of contiguous colored bars are printed on the data-encoded labels, each colored bar being of a color different from the color of its neighboring colored bars, is disclosed.
  • the data-encoded label is scanned by a probe which images a spot oflight on the label and which receives, from the label, reflected light signals that are supplied to the identification system.
  • the identification system is constructed to receive and to decode a predetermined number of data bits according to a size code" that is contained on the label, to perform a parity check of the data bits that are encoded on the label, and to transmit the decoded data to a data utilization device regardless of whether the probe traversed the label in a forward direction or in a reverse direction.
