ATIS-0300085 7 Test: Preliminary Setup Procedures TITLE: Preliminary Setup Procedure Scan Symbols on Panel PURPOSE:
11、 To ensure that the setup and configuration of readers begins at a known point and to verify data transmission is enabled. PRE-TEST CONDITIONS (Environment): Scanners should not transmit non printable characters. CONFIGURATION: The scanner should be configured to factory defaults and then optimized
12、for best read performance. The scanner should be configured to block transmissions of characters ASCII DEC less than 032 (block non printable character transmissions) and transmit an Enter key event after each symbol transmission. To ensure optimal performance of the Data Matrix symbology by all ima
13、gers, the rectangular form of Data Matrix shall be turned off for these tests. TARGETING ZONE SETTING (If applicable): Not needed for preliminary setup testing. TEST DESCRIPTION: 1. Person performing these preliminary setup procedures should be the person performing testing. The purpose of this prel
14、iminary setup procedure is to accustom the tester to using the scanner. 2. Person using the scanner will scan all symbols from left to right beginning with the top row, as noted in D.1, Test Process. 3. Person using the scanner should verify that the scanner is reading and transmitting the data. a.
15、If there is difficulty reading and/or transmitting data with the scanner being used, person scanning should consider if adjustments are needed, if the scanner should be used for testing, or if a different scanner should be selected to perform testing. Person performing testing may also consider cont
16、acting the manufacturer for further assistance. b. If the person performing testing is satisfied with scanner performance, proceed with testing. 4. See Appendix C for instructions on the Data Capture Spreadsheet configuration. EXPECTED RESULT: 1. Determination of scanner to be used for testing. 2. H
17、elping the person performing scanning to accustom themselves to the use of the scanner.
