1 - 1 1 Introduction Two-dimensional Print Quality Assessment (2D PQA), a feature of HHP's image readers, identifies a successfully read symbol and also reports graded mea-surement parameters obtained from the symbol. 2D PQA is not "true" verification in the traditional sense of the word; ho...

1 - 2 • The hand-held imager has a view finder that projects a bright aiming beam that corresponds to the imager’s horizontal field of view. The aiming beam should be centered over the bar code and positioned horizontally over the code (no tilt, skew, or rotation). If the symbol surface is shiny, th...

If you are using Quick*View, you can enable Full Report, a listing of all of a sym-bol's identifying information, measurements, and corresponding grades, by typ-ing the followin...
