Step 9 Test Read Rate - Microscan MS-890 User Manual

Step 9 — Test Read Rate
Important: To receive symbol data through the 9-pin configuration port, you must enable
the port with the following command: <K146,,1>.
1. Position the symbol in front of an operational MS-890 scanner.
2. Click the Utilities button.
3. Click the Start button in the Read Rate view.
If calibration has passed, the scanner sends data to the host computer and emits a beep
(if the beeper is enabled) for each good read.
Move your symbol toward the scanner and away from the scanner until the decode rates
drop off in each direction. This will give you a sense of the depth of field (inner and outer
ranges) for your symbol's density and range.
Note: If the scanner is in the default Continuous Read mode and not in read rate or calibration
routine, it will read and beep repeatedly as long as a readable symbol remains in the read
range and the read cycle configuration has not changed.
• To end the read rate test, right click Read Rate and select the Stop button.
