Contents of the Check for Readable Mode and Comparison Mode

The barcode check function has readable mode and comparison mode. The contents of the check for each mode are as follows.

• You can check multiple barcodes on one label. Though the number of barcodes on one label is not limited, a reading error occurs when the total size of the barcode data exceeds 200 Kb. • In the readable mode, you can include barcodes that are not created by barcode commands (such as graphic data or preprinted barcodes) as the check target, but you need to specify the number of barcodes per label in advance. Select [Setting] in [Set No. of Barcodes], and specify the number of barcodes per label in [Barcodes per Label]. • Reading of barcodes starts after the label length specified in [Start Position] passes. In modes where the product backfeeds before printing, the product backfeeds first, and then feeds the length of the start position.

Readable mode

This mode checks if the printed barcodes are readable. The readability is determined by whether the number of barcodes the barcode checker reads matches the number of barcodes in the print data.

•	The reading is considered to be successful if the number of barcodes the barcode checker reads reaches the number of barcodes in the print data. The product prints the next label.

*1 Even if the number of barcodes the barcode checker reads exceeds the number of barcodes in the print data, it is considered to be successful.

　

•	A reading error occurs if the number of barcodes in the print data is not read within the printing period from start to finish and the timeout period (up to 2 seconds).

Comparison mode

This mode checks if the read results of the printed barcodes match the barcode data in the print data.

•	The reading is considered to be successful if the read results of the printed barcodes match the barcode data in the print data. The product prints the next label.

　

•	A comparison error occurs if the read results of the printed barcodes do not match the barcode data in the print data.

　

•	A reading error occurs if the number of barcodes in the print data is not read within the printing period from start to finish and the timeout period (up to 2 seconds), even if the read results of the printed barcodes do not match the barcode data in the print data.
