Quick Check® 600/800 Series User’s Guide 1 - 13
Three beeps (one long followed by two short beeps) sound if the unit detects
reflectance readings significantly different from the previously recorded
ones. You may be scanning too slowly, too quickly or unevenly, or using an
improper scan angle. A message appears and prompts you to begin again.
Continue scanning using the recommended scanning technique until the unit
is calibrated.
Properly Scanning With the Unit
Variations in scan rates and angles can affect bar code verification. Before you
begin collecting data, review and practice the recommended method for
whichever configuration you are using, the pen wand or the mouse wand.
♦
To scan properly using a pen wand:
1. Turn on the verifier and confirm that it is operational (that is, does not need to
be charged or calibrated).
2. Hold the pen wand as you would a pen or pencil, placing your fingers on
each side of the foot near the tip.
3. Lightly touch the scanner tip against either quiet zone (clear area) of the bar
code. You have the proper scanning angle when the tip and the reflectance
guide are flat on the scan surface. (If the unit does not respond, press
POWER .)
4. At about the same speed with which you would quickly underline a sentence
in this manual, and without interruption, gently drag the tip across the center
of the bar code. You do not need to press the tip on the bar code. Gentle
pressure on the tip will not scratch the contacted surface.
5. Listen for audible tones.
• If you hear a long beep tone followed by a short tone, it signifies a good
read.
• If you hear a long beep and then three short beeps, the unit detects an
error in the scanned symbol.
• If one of these messages appears
slowly, please!
;
faster,
please!; or more evenly, please!; adjust your scan
technique accordingly. If a symbol consistently produces no beeping,
it is either fatally out of spec or it is not one of the symbologies
programmed on the unit.
• If you receive a message about a bad quiet zone, you may have
started scanning too close to the first bar. Rescan the symbol, starting
a little farther away from the first bar.
6. Practice your scanning technique until you can successfully scan, on the first
attempt, each of the test symbols supplied with the verifier.
♦
To scan properly using a mouse wand:
1. Turn on the Quick Check 600/800 Verifier and confirm that it is operational
(that is, does not need to be charged or calibrated).
