Using the Display option

Using the %KODAK option

The Display option allows you to display the decoded value of an individual bar code as it is fed into the transport. After selecting Option 2, DISPLAY, feed a bar code document.

To verify that a bar code is decoded properly:

1.Select 2=DISPLAY.

Bar Code Type =

1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM One of the following messages will be displayed:

Bar code was not read.

If the display indicates the bar code was not read, it could be for one of the following reasons:

The type of bar code read was not the type indicated in the status display.

Action: Verify the type of bar code read.

The bar code quality is poor.

Action: Perform the required maintenance.

?

This display indicates the start character was recognized, but the remainder of the bar code was unreadable.

Action: Perform the required maintenance.

Decoded bar code value

This display gives the decoded value of the bar code read.

2.When the test is completed, press C to return to normal operation, or press Stop to remain in the test environment.

The %KODAK test option establishes the percentage of bar codes properly read when using Kodak Bar Code Standard Test Documents. This option is designed to provide a baseline value as well as the current read rate. A comparison of the two values provides a measure of machine performance over time.

To use the %KODAK test option:

1.Select 3=%KODAK.

Bar Code Type =

1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM

2.Feed at least 100 Kodak test documents. As documents are fed into the transport, the Kodak documents fed value will increment.

Kodak documents fed = 100 Current = xx.x% Historical = xx.x%
