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.
