SECTION 9BAR CODE READER (optional)Subjects covered in Section 9 are:9.1 Attaching SP78-200 Bar Code Reader to an Instrument9.2 Scanning a Bar Code9.3 TroubleshootingThe Optional SP78-200 Bar Code Reader is used to scan bar codes.When the BCR is used in conjunction with an X-Rite instrument, ascanned bar code becomes a tag for the measurement(s) taken with theinstrument. When the data is uploaded into a software program (e.g.,QA-Master ® ) the bar code tag(s) become sample tag(s).9.1 Attaching The SP78-200 BCR to the InstrumentAttach the BCR to the instrument’s I/O Port. The instrument must beoperating in the Storage mode before the BCR will operate.To attach the SP78-200 BCR:1) Insert the connector on the BCR into the I/O port of the instrumentuntil it locks, usually indicatedby an audible click. TheFigure 1connector inserts in onedirection, (tab up) DO NOTFORCE. See Figure 1.2) Power the instrument up, "BARCODE READER DETECTED" willappear on the instrument displayif the BCR is properly attached.To disconnect the SP78-200 BCR:1) Depress the tab on the connectorand remove the connector fromthe instrument.9-1
9.2 Scanning a Bar CodeFollow these guidelines for successful bar code scanning.1) Turn on the X-Riteinstrument. Be sure theinstrument is in theStorage mode.2) Hold the BCR in your handas you would a pencil. TheBCR works best when tiltedfrom 10° to 30°, althoughany angle from 5° to 45°will work. See Figure 2.(10° - 30°)OptimumOperatingAngle(5° - 45°)OperatingAngleFigure 23) Place the tip of the BCR onthe white space to the left orright of the bar code. Dragthe BCR smoothly andlightly across the bar code.Do not lift the tip of theBCR from the surface of thebar code. See Figure 3.4) The instrument will displaythe title of the bar code ifthe scan was successful. Ifthe display appears blank tryscanning the bar code again.If after several scanningattempts the display stillappears blank, see Section9.3, Troubleshooting.Figure 39-2
