Step 9 Test Decode Rate with Static Label
To do the decode test:
a) Position the label in front of a functioning scanner, click on the
Utilities
button,
and in the Read Rate dialog either click the
Percent or Decodes/Sec
radio but-
ton and click
Start
, or enter the
<Cp>
or
<C>
command from the host terminal
to launch test.
b) Observe rate. (The percent or decode rate is added to the front of the data
string.)
c) End the test by clicking the
Stop
button or the
<J>
command.
Note
:
If, after making adjustments, you have changed the read range or another
parameter used in the number of scans formula, you should recalculate the number
of scans. (See
Appendix E — “Formulas for Number of Decodes.”
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 decode rates.
