Test and Autocalibrate
If your proposed scanning range is not within the range specified in
1-1 on page 1-3, go to step e.
If your proposed scanning range is within the range specified in
page 1-3, test read rate by doing the following:
a. Position the label in front of a functioning scanner and launch the read
rate test with a <C> command from the host terminal. (See
Commands" on page
b. Observe read rate. (Read rate is the percentage of scans decoded.)
c. Check depth-of-field (minimum/maximum 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 application 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 a <J> command.
If the read rate is acceptable, go to
If the read rate is not acceptable, continue with the following steps:
e. Do Autocalibration (see
Rate within the Calibration program.
(Autocalibration optimizes the read rate by automatically cycling
through the gain and tracking settings and selecting the combina-
tion that achieves the highest read rate.)
f. If the results are not satisfactory after doing Autocalibration, go to
10, "Adjust Other Scanning Parameters," on page
Important: If, after Autocalibration or other adjustments you have changed the
read range or other parameter used in the number of scans formula, you
should recalculate the Number of scans
on page 1-6).
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.
