Hand Held Products 3060 Scanning Tolerance Printing Quality Control, Diagnostic Mode Test Reading

Programming the Scanner

Diagnostic Mode (Test Reading)

This operation mode is specifically designed for diagnostic purposes. When this operation mode is selected, the light source of the scanner is forced on without regard for other programmable parameters, such as double scan verification, redundancy, and so forth.

Scanning Tolerance (Printing Quality Control)

This parameter provides the user with a helpful tool to use when the printing quality of the bar code is poor. This is a programmable feature in IT3220 units with software revision AXX, and 3060/80B with software revision CXX. Units using later software revisions [IT3220 (revision BXX) and VT3060/80B (DXX) scanners] perform this feature automatically without any extra programming.

To reduce the error reading rate further, we also recommend that you limit the number of enabled symbologies to only those that you need to read, and to also limit the minimum and maximum reading of each enabled bar code symbology.
