Quality Output

Quality Output

Usage: Host system can monitor scanning performance (printing process, scan-
ning environment changes, etc.) by setting thresholds in their processing
or displaying the outputs for visual verification. For example, a certain
symbol that has been averaging 00100 reads per read cycle suddenly
drops to 00012, this would be a good indication that a problem has arisen
even though good reads are still occurring.
Definition: Allows the host to track the number of good reads per trigger by append-
ing a five digit numeric field to the end of bar code symbol data.
