[Msg Format >] P (or F)
Either the “P” or “F” will be shown to indicate if the symbol under test passed or
failed the Format Parameters. Pressing the Scroll [<>] Button will move you into
the Format Parameters details. The order the displays are shown changes
dependent upon whether the QC200 is set for “Traditional” or “ANSI” testing
criteria (though in each case all the same displays are shown). For this
document, the order used with “Traditional” test criteria is illustrated. If an
Application Specification has been activated, the normal sequence will be
superseded by the following display:
[APPL *Type*]
where APPL will be the appropriate Application and Type will be any possible
sub-identifier within that application. Repeated pressing of the Scroll [<>] Button
will then show any other application specific errors such as:
[BAD Source]
and will finally come to:
[MsgLength xx] P (or F)
Message Length is the length of an encoded message. The length may need to
be checked against an application-specified length restriction. Another press of
the Scroll [<>] Button displays:
[No Check Chr] P or
[ChkChr Checks] P or
[ChkChr Fails] F
Check Characters may be mandatory under a bar code symbology
specification, required by the user or by an application specification: either,
neither, or both! The display screen will reflect the requirement and the result.
Repeated pressing of the Scroll [<>] Button will reveal any additional error
situations such as:
[BAD Symbology] F if a wrong code type is found.
At this point (or any other point during the scrolling of results), pressing the
Select [0] Button will cycle the QC200 into its “Store” (if not hooked to a printer)
or “Print” (if hooked to a printer) sequence. The print sequence is explained in
Section 6.
