Test the Bar Code scanner with a Macro
Having followed the steps above, everything is ready and the barcode scanner should
be fully functional. Printed below are two example OCR-A Test Labels that can be
scanned to test the configuration. Now we can scan each label to load and run the
appropriate profile in the controller. When we scan 123456-78 the controller should
load product1.vpl and start running it. When we scan ABCDEF-GH the controller
should load product2.vpl and start running it.
Test the Bar Code scanner with Log File entries
Alternatively, create a list of part numbers, employee names etc. and print it. This
can be attached near the operator’s station.
