Barcode Operation
You can change several configuration settings of your QuickCal Densitometer using the special format barcodes
supplied by X-Rite, Inc. or your software provider. These set-up barcodes consist of multiple strips that must be
read in the proper order.
In most cases your software will automatically configure your instrument. If your software or software
documentation prompts you to configure your instrument, the enclosed X-Rite Set-up Barcodes contain some
commonly used commands that can be scanned immediately to get you up and running. Additional barcode
set-up and information is available on the CD that is shipped with your instrument.
The LEDs signal the status of the instrument when reading a set-up barcode. While scanning the initial barcode, the
LEDs will flash slowly between off and green, the same as any normal scan. Once the unit has recognized the initial
barcode as being part of a set-up barcode, the LEDs will slowly flash between yellow and green. This same flash
pattern will continue while scanning continuation barcodes. Upon completion of the entire set-up barcode, the LEDs
will come on steady green, indicating a successful completion.
REFER TO THE FOLLOWING PAGES FOR X-RITE SET-UP BARCODES.
CAUTION:
Only use the Set-up barcodes if instructed to manually set-up your instrument. This will avoid
changing configurations that may cause the QuickCal Densitometer and your software to cease
communicating. If this does happen reference the Troubleshooting and Service section.
NOTE:
To enable the following barcodes to print at their intended size, make sure the “Shrink oversize
pages to paper size” check box is disabled (un-checked) in the Print dialog. If you are using an older
version of Adobe Reader (ver. 3 or 4), make sure “Fit to Page” check box is disabled (un-checked) in the
Print dialog.
