    You can obtain the scan grade result in two ways: • Set the verifier to use traditional print quality parameters to make a pass/fail judgment about the symbol and provide detailed measurements. • Set the verifier to use ISO/IEC methods to judge the symbol and report an ISO/IEC scan grade of A, B, C, D or F.

  • Page 34: Changing The Scanning Options

    Consider the symbol grade as the average resulting from scans you take from all over the symbol. The ISO/IEC standard requires you to obtain ten scans of each symbol. For example, you might sample the symbol at ten different paths in the symbol —...

    Reviewing Scan Data Reviewing Scan Results After you customize the verifier settings for your use, you are ready to scan bar code symbols. The verifier acquires and analyzes data using the ScanProfile Methodology specified in ISO/IEC’s Bar Code Print Quality Guideline (ANS X3, 182).

  • Page 46: Iso/Iec Symbol Grade

    ISO/IEC Symbol Grade The ISO/IEC Symbol Grade is the average of the scan grades resulting from scans you take from different paths across the symbol. The ISO/IEC Symbol Grade is also referred to as the overall or final symbol grade. You can obtain a symbol grade only if the passing option test criteria is set to an ISO/IEC grade (not to traditional).

  • Page 50 appears at the beginning of the decoded data to indicate there is more data to the left. Press ← to review the beginning of the message. The text on the other lines of the display depends on the Extended Accuracy option setting.

  • Page 51: Led Display

    Note: If you set the Test Criteria Passing parameter to an ISO/IEC grade and you set the #Scans/Symbol parameter to 1, the scan grade is the same as the ISO/IEC symbol grade. • The first line of the symbol grade display provides the symbol or application name, the same as the first line of the scan grade display.

  • Page 52: Audio Sounds

    For your convenience, the display option feature called “LEDs” allows you to select ISO/IEC test criteria yet have the LEDs display bar growth rather than ISO/ IEC pass/fail grade. Refer to "Changing the Output Options" on page 3-12 additional information. If you set the verifier to use traditional pass/fail test criteria, the color of each LEDs is always the same (first is red, second is yellow, third is green, fourth is yellow, fifth is red).

  • Page 53: Reviewing The Dimensional Parameters

    Reviewing the Dimensional Parameters The following table lists the dimensional parameters and summarizes their results. Descriptions of the parameters follow the tables. Parameter Trad’l ISO/IEC √ Average Bar Error (Avg Bar Err) √ Wide-to-narrow ratio (Wide/Nar Ratio) √ Decodability* * The method you select (Avg Decode or ISO/IECISO/IEC) determines the scan and sym- bol grades.

If you do not set the unit to test for a check character, the message NO Check Character appears.

  • Page 60: Using Sstr Codes To Review Data

    Using SSTR Codes to Review Data A Single Scan to Result (SSTR) Code is a bar code symbol that tells the verifier to execute certain command functions. If you scan an SSTR Code, the unit displays the scan result parameter represented by that bar code symbol. After you scan a symbol, either the default results appear (listed below) or, if you changed the output display options, the results you specified appear.

  • Page 61: Using The Quick Check Verifier As A Reflectometer

    If you save your customized default results, the unit automatically enters these changes in the Output Options, Display Options line. To change the upper and lower result lines using the Display Options menu, refer to "Changing the Output Options" on page 3-12.
  • Page 62 When using the reflectance mode, the reflectance “seen” by the unit is continuously shown on the verifier’s display as both a two-digit reflectance percentage (from 0% to 99%) and on a graphic bar graph (gas gauge).

  • Page 78: Symbology Characteristics

    Symbology Characteristics Your Quick Check 600/800 Verifier can handle bar code symbologies with a variety of characteristics. To help understand symbologies, you should be familiar with the following commonly used terms: • Code refers to the actual data contained in the bar code symbol, such as a part number, serial number, transaction code or other type of data.
  • Page 79 A check character is a character placed in a predetermined position in a symbol and whose value is based on some mathematical relationship of the other characters in the symbol. It is used by the scanner to validate that the correct data has been decoded.

  • Page 80: How A Bar Code Verifier Works

    A bar code reader or scanner extracts the information that is optically encoded in a bar code symbol and converts it into computer-compatible digital data. Hand Held Products provides a variety of handheld wand or pen scanners with the verifier that are designed to minimize scratching the symbol. When you place the wand on a bar code symbol and move it across the symbol, electro-optical techniques read the symbol.

  • Page 81: Additional Information

    proportional to the amount of light returned. A symbol’s spaces reflect more light than the bars. As the wand is moved across the bar code symbol, the analog voltage varies, creating a graphic scan profile. The scan profile is the basis for verifying the bar code symbol.
