Quick Check® 600/800 Series User’s Guide 8 - 18 Using a Quick Check 800 VerifierThe Quick Check Series 800 Bar Code Verifier is a high performance,professional tool for verifying the readability and standards compliance of printedbar codes in non-contact mode. The Quick Check 800 Verifier units use ahandheld linear imaging bar code reader for simple, convenient aim and shootoperation. The Series 800 verifiers are enhanced versions of Hand HeldProducts’ Series 600 verifiers and are designed to not only provide the user withall the features of the Series 600 models, but also allow the ease of use of a non-contact device for certain verification tasks.This chapter details where the operation of a Series 800 verifier differs from aSeries 600 unit.Using the Quick Check 800 Verifier with a QC3800VLinear ImagerOnly the QC3800V can be used as the non-contact input devicewith a Series 800 unit. The QC3800V should not be used withany other decoder or terminal.General OperationScanning is initiated by depressing the trigger on the QC3800V after the QuickCheck 800 Verifier has been turned on. When the unit starts scanning, it emitsa single beep.If the unit cannot decode a bar code after a trigger pull, it emits four beeps andreturns to the main display.After a successful decode, with a result that passes the minimum acceptablegrade set point, the unit emits three beeps (one short, two long).A decode that fails to receive a grade above the minimum requirement setcauses the unit to emit five beeps (one short, one long, three short).The optimum reading orientation for the QC3800V is 6 inches (152.4 mm) withan angle of incidence of 15° from perpendicular. At this orientation, the systemperformance approximates an average circular aperture size of .006 to .008inches (.152 to .203 mm). Extreme variations from this orientation may affect theaccuracy of some parameter results.Battery life of the Quick Check 800 Verifier with the QC3800V attached will beshorter than when using the QC Mouse Wand or Pen Wand. To extend batterycharge life, use the unit with the charger connected.WARNING
