Test Commands
<C> Enter Read Rate Test.
Instructs the
scanner to output the read rate
1
and label
data (if any). The read rate can vary dramati-
cally due to the angle and location of the
label in relation to the scan beam (or scan
line, if using a scan head with a moving
beam). This test is very useful in aligning and
positioning the scanning device during instal-
lation.
<J> Exit Read Rate Test.
Ends the read rate test.
Status Commands
<#> Display Software Part Number.
Displays software part number.
<!> Display Checksum of EPROM.
Displays a four-digit hex number (corre-
sponding to a given firmware version) used to verify a scanner’s EPROM.
Master Label Commands
<E> Enable Match Code Option.
Identical to match code command on page
2-17. Instructs the scanner to compare bar code labels being scanned with a
master label that has been entered in nonvolatile or volatile RAM, and may
under certain conditions send out a relay driver signal and update internal
counters.
If no master label has been entered, every decoded label will be a “mismatch”
and will increment the mismatch counter by one.
Enable Match Code Option is intended for use when the scanner is in a trig-
gered mode. If the Match Code option is enabled in the Continuous Read
mode, the scanner defaults to Continuous Read 1 Output mode, and the label
data must change before the scanner will output data again, unless a timeout, if
enabled, occurs. (See “Operations Menu” on page 2-11.)
<F> Disable Match Code Option.
Disables Match Code.
<G> Store Next Label Scanned as Master Label.
Causes the scanner to
read the next bar code label scanned as the master label if Match Code has
been enabled. All subsequently decoded labels are compared against the mas-
ter label information stored in RAM. (See “Match Code” on page 2-17.)
<)XXXX)> Download Master Label Information.
Downloads master label
information from the host or a terminal. The master label information can be
1. If in a triggered mode, the scanner will output the number of good reads based on the num-
ber of accepted triggers received.
