on the top of the reader.

3. To end the read rate test, click the 

Stop

 button.

Note: If the reader is in the default Continuous Read mode, it will 

read and beep repeatedly as long as a readable symbol remains in 

the read range, and as long as the Read Cycle configuration has not 

changed.
