Do Read Rate Test
To begin the read rate test:
a. Position the label in front of a functioning scanner; enter the <C> com-
mand from the host terminal to launch the read rate test (see Status
Commands" on page 4-5).
b. Observe read rate.
c. Check depth-of-field (minimum/maxi-
mum range) by moving the label closer
and further relative to the scanner and
noting the points where the read rates
fall below a level acceptable to your
application.
Ideally, the label used in your applica-
tion should pass through or near the
center of the depth-of-field.
d. Repeat steps a through c for other labels used in your application and
end the read rate test with the <J> command.
If the read rate is acceptable, go to Step 9, "Install Scanner," on page 1-13.
If the read rate is unacceptable, go to Step 8, "Adjust Other Scanning
Parameters," on page 1-11.
Important: If, after making adjustments, you have changed the read range or
another parameter used in the number of scans formula, you should recalcu-
late the number of scans (Step 3, "Calculate Number of Scans," on page 1-4).
Note: Variations between labels are common. For this reason, the greater
number of sample labels you test, the more likely you are to achieve optimum
read rates.
