The transport automatically stops when 100 documents have been
processed and the Current and Historical percentages are displayed.

NOTE: To stop the test and leave the percentages unchanged, press

Stop before the 100 documents have been processed.

Current — indicates the read rate of the documents just processed.

Historical — indicates the read rate of all tests run over time.

The first time the test is run, the two percentages will be the same.

If the Current percentage is significantly lower than the Historical
percentage, this indicates any reduction in the overall read rate may
be caused by a deficiency in the equipment. Perform required
maintenance and rerun the test. If the results of the second test are
similar to the first, contact service.

NOTE: If an asterisk (*) appears in the display (i.e., Current =

xx.x*%), the Historical percentage is unaffected by the
current read rate. This indicates the current read rate is
uncommonly low.

3. When the test is finished, press Clear to return to normal operation,

or press Stop to remain in the test environment.

Using the %NORM
option

This option establishes the percentage of bar codes properly read when
using actual customer-application documents. This test is the same as
the %KODAK option, except actual customer-application documents
are used. The 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 bar code quality over a period of time.

To use the %NORM test option:

1. Select

4=%NORM.

Bar Code Type =
1=EVALUATE 2=DISPLAY 3=%KODAK 4=%NORM

2. Feed at least 100 application test documents. As documents are fed

into the transport, the

Normal documents fed value will increment.

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