4.Press until Defects displays.

5.Press + or to scroll through the percentage values: 0% to 100%. The default is 20%.

6.Press to select the desired value.

Overall Grade

This menu item sets the value used by the validator for pass/fail threshold during the analysis of bar codes. Instead of a letter grade, numbers are used to allow for more resolution. The numbers can be translated to letter grades according to the 4.0 grade table below.

Table 4. Grading Scale for Overall Grade

Letter Grade

Grade Numerical Range

 

 

 

 

A

3.5 to 4.0

 

 

B

2.5 to 3.4

 

 

C

1.5 to 2.4

 

 

D

0.5 to 1.4

 

 

F

0.0 to 0.4

 

 

Any bar code with a grade below this threshold value will cause the printer to display the Overall Grade Fail error message (see “Error Messages” on page 86) and take the appropriate error action.

Higher values create a stricter pass criterion.

The Overall Grade is determined by taking the lowest grade obtained for any of these bar code quality parameters: Decodeability, Percent Decode, Defects, Modulation, EC Min, Rmin, and Symbol Contrast.

You can set the Overall Grade parameter to a value from 0.5 to 4.0. The default is 0.5.
