Each of the items that can be tuned has a link to advance settings; these are quick links to dialogs,
that can also be accessed through other menus, which allow for manual adjustments to tuned
settings. Items that are grayed out are properties that can't be changed for the connected device (if
no liquid lens is installed then the focus can not be optimized through the software).
Place the Ace of Hearts from the deck of cards in the field of view using the aimer lights to position
it. Click the Tune button on the Quick Setup pane and wait for the tuning process to finish. You
should see something like the image below (Fig. 24).

Turn the card slightly (a few degrees) either clockwise or counterclockwise and trigger the reader.
Does it still read the code? Turn it a bit more and trigger the reader again. How far can you turn it
before the code is no longer read? Place the Ace of Diamonds beneath the reader and trigger the
reader. Did it read the code?
Tuning the reader also trained the code present on the Ace of Hearts. Though the code type on the
Ace of Diamonds is the same symbology as on the Ace of Hearts (Code 128), the codes are
different sizes. Additionally the orientation of the code was trained, so turning the Ace of Hearts too
much causes it to not be read.
Click the down arrow next to the Tune button in the Quick Setup pane and hover over the link that
says Advanced Training Settings (Fig. 25) and notice the tool tip that appears. This shows
information about the code that was trained including the angle at which the code was positioned at
time of training.
