Page 18: Field Calibration
Inspector 5000™ Auto Optic Operator’s Guide 5.3 Field Calibration The Inspector 5000 requires periodic field calibration. The interval depends on the environment where the bar code verifier is used. Inspector 5000 calibration interval A clean room may be able to go two weeks between calibrations while a dusty, high temperature, high humidity environment may require daily calibration.
Page 19 Operator’s Guide Inspector 5000™ Auto Optic The Inspector 5000 will prompt the user when there is one day before the field calibration will expire: The Inspector 5000 will prompt the user when the field calibration has expired. The inspection results will be...
Page 20: Verifying The Inspector 5000 Is Calibrated
From the main calibration screen the unit is setup to measure reflectance. This allows you to check the calibration of the unit by placing the Auto Optic on the RJS Calibration Plaque (P/N 002-7410), white or black fields, and verifying that the reflectance value matches the stated values.

Page 69: Modulation
Symbol contrast is the difference in reflectance values of the “lightest” space (including the quiet zone) and the “darkest” bar of the symbol (the greater the difference, the higher the grade). Note: Bar code colors can have a large effect on this parameter. 003-4500 RJS, Minneapolis, MN...
Page 70: Defects
Inspector 5000™ Auto Optic Appendix A Defects This parameter can be graded 4.0 to 0.0 (A to F) Defects are irregularities in bars, spaces and quiet zones. For example, a dark spot in a space could cause a low enough reflectance to be mistaken for a bar, and the extra bar would cause a decode error.
Page 71: Reference Decode
Note: The Inspector 5000 decodes each symbology with a more aggressive algorithm. This enables many symbols to be scanned and decoded even though the Reference Decode grade is a 0.0 (F) The overall symbol grade is averaged for the Reference Decode parameter.

Page 98: Appendix H (Magnifications)
Specifications relative to bar/space tolerances are published for 80% to 200% magnifications. While the Inspector 5000 does not measure the bars and spaces to derive a magnification, it does determine the relative sizes of the elements and therefore the bar width deviations.
Page 99: Appendix I (Aperture Selection)
Operator’s Guide Appendix J Appendix I (Aperture Selection) The Inspector 5000 Auto Optic has four different aperture (light) sizes that can be used for inspecting bar codes. It is very important that the aperture selected matches the aperture of the bar code scanner that will be used in the supply chain.
Page 100: Appendix J (Print Functions)
Operator’s Guide Appendix J (Print Functions) Bar code inspection data may be printed (requires optional devices) when the Inspector 5000 is connected to the TP140A printer or to a computer using the VCIR PC software program. The Inspector 5000 will automatically detect which type of printout device is connected.
