Performing a bar
code test Before feeding documents, perform a bar code test (F65) to verify the
operation of the Bar Code Reader.
NOTE: No document processing, image address changes or level
counting, etc. will occur during the test.
To perform a bar code test, select one of the test options.
1. Enter function code F65.
2. Select one of the following options.
BC Type =
1: EV 2: DP 3: Rr
• 1=EVALUATE (1: EV) — provides a measure of the overall
quality of the bar codes being used by evaluating specific bar
code characteristics. This test is performed whenever a new
batch of preprinted bar code documents or labels are received,
or when there is a change in the printing method (i.e., a new
printer), media (i.e., new paper type) or bar code characteristics
(i.e., new bar code size).
• 2=DISPLAY (2: DP) — displays the decoded value of an
individual bar code as it is fed into the transport. This test is
performed whenever there is a need to verify that a bar code is
decoded properly. The bar code is read and decoded. No
capturing of images or any other system function is performed
when this test is run.
• 3=Read Rate (3: Rr) — provides a measure of equipment
performance by determining the read rate (percentage of bar
codes read properly) of Kodak Bar Code Standard Test
Documents. Two percentages are calculated each time the test
is run; a current percentage and a historical percentage. The
historical percentage reflects all tests run, providing information
which may be used to track system performance over time.
