Doing a Test Read with the Barcode Checker

Prepare a label on which the barcode data you use is printed by this product.

After performing operational settings of the barcode checker and then connecting it to the product, perform a test read from the product's [Settings] menu to confirm that the barcode checker functions correctly.

1.	After connecting the barcode checker, press the power button on the operator panel until the LED lights up in blue to power on the product.

When the product is powered on, the barcode checker is also powered on automatically.

• When the barcode checker is powered on, it emits a laser light. Be sure to keep the laser away from your eyes. • When using GFS4170, it keeps emitting a laser light while the product is powered on. To turn off the laser light, power off the product.

Once the connection between the product and the barcode checker is complete, the barcode checker icon appears on the status bar of the display.

2.	When the product is in Online mode, press the button on the operator panel to change to Offline mode.

3.	Press the button to show the [Settings] menu.

4.	Press the / buttons to select [Tools], and then press the button.

5.	Press the / buttons to select [Barcode Checker] > [Test], and then press the button.

6.	Confirm that the type of connected barcode checker is displayed on the right side of [Reader Name].

• Even when GFS4520 is installed, [GFS4400] is displayed, but it can be used without any problem.

7.	Press the / buttons to select [Reading Test], and then press the button.

8.	Set a label with barcodes within the scanning range of the barcode checker.

9.	Press the button to start reading the barcodes.

If reading is successful, the barcode type and data read are displayed on the screen. Only the first 23 bytes of data are displayed.

If reading is unsuccessful, or the displayed results of the read are not correct, adjust the position of the barcode checker by using the barcode checker stand. For details on how to use the barcode checker stand, refer to the Barcode Checker Stand Kit Installation Manual that came with the barcode checker stand kit.

• If the product cannot detect the barcode checker, check if the operational settings for the barcode checker are appropriate.
