This verification system implements an integrated approach that consists of the QC890 Verifier unit and the Quick Check® ImageData (QCID) software. The QC890 system offers ease of use, stability and repeatability, flexibility, increased user features and control, and quality testing of the most common industry applications and symbologies. Unpacking the QC890 Verifier After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps: • Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton. • Make sure the items in the carton match your order. • Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping. The standard accessories that should be included in your kit are: • • • • • • • • Quick Start Guide CD with QCID software and this User’s Guide DC power supply with cord (includes adapters for different countries) Interface cables (USB and RS-232) Plastic gauge Metal ruler Reference test symbols Calibration bar code page QC890 Verifier Features The QC890 Verifier is a full-featured bar code verification system compatible with all major linear bar code symbologies. It is both a quick and easy-to-use pass/ fail analyzer of bar code symbols and a powerful measuring tool for detailed testing of bar code symbols. The QC890 Verifier provides all of the information you need to interpret overall symbol quality. Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide 1-1 The verifier tests the following symbologies: Codabar Interleaved 2 of 5 Code 11 MSI Code 16K PDF417 Code 39 Reduced Space Symbology (RSS-14, RSS Limited, RSS Expanded) Code 49 Regular 2 of 5 Code 93 Telepen Code 128 UPC/EAN IATA 2 of 5 Using the QC890 Verifier The QC890 Verifier offers a choice of Automatic, 5, 6, and 10 mil aperture settings. External devices (i.e., mouse wands, pen wands, and linear imagers) are available with apertures designed to match the most common X dimensions. Wands are available with apertures of 3 (Mouse Wand only), 5, 6, 10, and 20 (Mouse Wand only) mil. These aperture sizes correspond to those specified in ISO/IEC 15416 Bar Code Print Quality Test Specification - Linear Symbols. The proper aperture should be selected based on the X dimension range shown in the table in the Pen/Mouse Wand Aperture Selection (page A-1) section. Choosing an inappropriate scanning aperture results in inaccurate quality measures. Too small an aperture may detect reflectance non-uniformities (spots and voids) that would not affect scanning with a "normal" aperture size. Too large an aperture will not be able to resolve individual elements of the symbol. Scan Button The scan button on top of the unit wakes the unit from power down. A first press of the button turns on illumination and a second press activates reading capabilities. Scan Button LEDs • Red LED - error conditions • Green LED - good symbols and configuration changes 1-2 Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide User LED Indications LED Indication Cause Green Solid Green Flash Red Solid Red Flashing Charging Good read Error condition Low battery Audio Sound An audio signal (default ON) provides a quick indication if a scan passes or fails the current test. You can change the pitch/volume of these beeps (see Illumination Timer on page B-1). After a scan, one short, high pitch beep indicates that the symbol passes an appropriate group of tests, while one long, low pitch beep indicates that it fails. Special Features The QC890 Verifier supports the Reflectometer mode. In the Reflectometer mode, the unit operates as a free-running reflectometer. See "Reflectometer Mode" on page 3-7 for additional information. Physical Connections A DC power barrel on the back of the unit connects to a power supply for external power and battery charging. The DB9 port on the unit connects to the pen wand, mouse wand, or customized imager. Refer to "Scanning Properly Using the QC3800V Linear Imager:" on page 3-5.

Calibrating the QC890 Verifier Note: Calibration is a requirement of the ISO/IEC standards and must be performed with each aperture change. When calibrating the QC890 Verifier system, the QC890 Verifier must be connected to QCID. While preparing to calibrate the QC890 Verifier system, it is important to align the center of the reflectance page symbol to the center arrows and to keep the QC890 Verifier flat and level to the surface of the reflectance page. The reflectance page is a precision standard that is made of photographic materials. To ensure proper calibration, you must replace the reflectance page if it becomes dirty or physically damaged. Make sure to use only the original calibration tools that were supplied with your QC890 Verifier kit or certified replacements obtained from Hand Held Products. 1. Place the verifier on top of the symbol. 2. Press the scan button on top of the unit to turn on illumination. 3. Look through the unit’s window to align the unit with the bar code. Note: The best verification data is gathered by aligning the center of the symbol to the center arrows. 4. Press the scan button on top of the unit a second time while the illumination is on to scan the calibration bar code. You will hear a series of beeps and 3-2 Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide the illumination will turn off. If the calibration process is successful, the following screen displays. 5. Enter the prompted data (Name and Location) and press OK. The following screen displays. 6. If the unit does not calibrate, contact Hand Held Products Technical Support (see Technical Assistance on page 2). Scanning Properly Using a Pen/Mouse Wand 1. Turn on the verifier and confirm that it is operational (i.e., does not need to be charged or calibrated). 2. Hold the pen wand as you would a pen or pencil, placing your fingers on each side of the foot near the tip. or Hold the mouse wand as you would a computer mouse. 3. Lightly touch the wand against either quiet zone (clear area) on either side of the bar code. For the pen wand, you will have the proper scanning angle when the tip and the reflectance guide (black plastic clamp) are flat on the scanning surface. 4. At about the same speed with which you would quickly underline a sentence in this manual, and without interruption, gently move the wand across the center of the bar code. You do not need to press hard on the wand while scanning the bar code. Gentle pressure on the wand will not scratch the contacted surface, but pressing down hard may damage the code and yield poor results. 5. Listen for audible tones. Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide 3-3 • If you hear a single beep tone followed by another single beep of the same tone, it signifies a good read. • If you hear a single beep and then a beep of a different tone, the unit detected an error in the scanned symbol. Calibrating an External Pen/Mouse Wand 1. Using the proper scan technique described in step 4 above, scan the reflectance page. You will hear a single beep after the first good scan and the following display appears: 2. Continue to scan the reflectance page for a total of ten good scans. After each good scan, a single beep sounds and the display indicates the number of good scans you need to obtain. After the tenth good scan, the following window displays: 3-4 Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide 3. After you type in your name and location, click OK. The following message appears: Note: When using the external QC3800V linear imager, it does not report ISO/ IEC reflectance parameters; therefore no calibration is necessary or possible. Scanning Properly Using the QC3800V Linear Imager: 1. The best reading position for the QC3800V linear imager is 6 inches (150mm) from the surface of the bar code to the face of the scanner, with an angle of incidence of 15 degrees from perpendicular. At this orientation, the system performance approximates an average circular aperture size of .006 to .008 inches (.152 to .203 mm). Extreme variations from this orientation may negatively affect the accuracy of some parameter results. 2. Scanning is initiated by depressing the trigger on the linear imager. 3. Listen for an audible tone. When the unit scans and decodes a bar code, it emits a single beep. • If the unit cannot decode a bar code after a trigger pull, nothing happens. • After a successful decode, with a result that passes the minimum acceptable grade, the unit emits another beep of the same tone. • A decode that fails to receive a grade above the minimum requirement causes the unit to emit a beep of a different tone. Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide 3-5 Note: The QC3800V reading width (includes quiet zones) is 6 inches. Note: The QC3800V is the only device that can be used as a non-contact input device with a QC890 Verifier unit. The QC3800V should not be used with any decoders, terminals, or other brand of verifiers. Calibration Log The Calibration Log records the instances when calibration was performed. It records the Date/Time set on your PC, serial number of the QC890 Verifier being calibrated, and the name and location of the operator. To access the Calibration Log, click on Settings -> Calibration -> Calibration Log. You will be prompted to enter a password. The password can be either the Master Password (Visions07) or a password you previously set. 3-6 Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide The Calibration Log looks like this: Reflectometer Mode Note: The Reflectometer Mode is only available for use with the mouse/pen wands.
