Getting Started

Introduction

The Quick Check® 890 Verifier System (QC890) is a professional quality control

system for verifying the readability and standards compliance of printed linear

bar code symbols. This verification system implements an integrated approach

that consists of the QC890 Verifier unit and the Quick Check® ImageData

(QCID) software.

The QC890 system offers ease of use, stability and repeatability, flexibility,

increased user features and control, and quality testing of the most common

industry applications and symbologies.

Unpacking the QC890 Verifier

After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following

steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the

carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.

• Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

The standard accessories that should be included in your kit are:

• Quick Start Guide

• CD with QCID software and this User’s Guide

• DC power supply with cord (includes adapters for different countries)

• Interface cables (USB and RS-232)

• Plastic gauge

•Metalruler

• Reference test symbols

• Calibration bar code page

QC890 Verifier Features

The QC890 Verifier is a full-featured bar code verification system compatible with

all major linear bar code symbologies. It is both a quick and easy-to-use pass/

fail analyzer of bar code symbols and a powerful measuring tool for detailed

testing of bar code symbols.

The QC890 Verifier provides all of the information you need to interpret overall

symbol quality.

1 - 2 Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide

The verifier tests the following symbologies:

Using the QC890 Verifier

The QC890 Verifier offers a choice of Automatic, 5, 6, and 10 mil aperture

settings. External devices (i.e., mouse wands, pen wands, and linear imagers)

are available with apertures designed to match the most common X dimensions.

Wands are available with apertures of 3 (Mouse Wand only), 5, 6, 10, and 20

(Mouse Wand only) mil. These aperture sizes correspond to those specified in

ISO/IEC 15416 Bar Code Print Quality Test Specification - Linear Symbols. The

proper aperture should be selected based on the X dimension range shown in

the table in the Pen/Mouse Wand Aperture Selection (page A-1) section.

Choosing an inappropriate scanning aperture results in inaccurate quality

measures. Too small an aperture may detect reflectance non-uniformities (spots

and voids) that would not affect scanning with a "normal" aperture size. Too large

an aperture will not be able to resolve individual elements of the symbol.

Scan Button

The scan button on top of the unit wakes the unit from power down. A first press

of the button turns on illumination and a second press activates reading

capabilities.

Scan Button LEDs

• Red LED - error conditions

• Green LED - good symbols and configuration changes

User LED Indications

Audio Sound

An audio signal (default ON) provides a quick indication if a scan passes or fails

the current test. You can change the pitch/volume of these beeps (see

Illumination Timer on page B-1). After a scan, one short, high pitch beep

indicates that the symbol passes an appropriate group of tests, while one long,

low pitch beep indicates that it fails.

Special Features

The QC890 Verifier supports the Reflectometer mode. In the Reflectometer

mode, the unit operates as a free-running reflectometer. See "Reflectometer

Mode" on page 3-7 for additional information.

Physical Connections

A DC power barrel on the back of the unit connects to a power supply for external

power and battery charging.

The DB9 port on the unit connects to the pen wand, mouse wand, or customized

imager. Refer to "Scanning Properly Using the QC3800V Linear Imager:" on

page 3-5. If you are using any of these devices, refer to "Scanning Properly

Using a Pen/Mouse Wand" on page 3-3 for additional information.

The RJ45 ten pin connector provides the USB or RS-232 serial interface to the

host. Refer to "USB Communication Interface" on page 2-1 and "RS-232 Serial

Communication Interface" on page 2-3 for details on connecting your unit.

Internal Battery

Note: Batteries are factory replaceable only. You must return your unit to Hand

Held Products for replacement (see Product Service and Repair on page

5-1).

Charging the Battery

Note: The battery may be in an unknown charge state at delivery. We

recommend that you charge the battery for at least 6 hours prior to use.

You may use the while charging it.

To charge the batteries:

1. Plug the power supply into the port on the back of the unit.

2. Plug in the power supply to the AC main source.

The QC890 Verifier uses a rechargeable battery. The QC890 Verifier can be

operated from the battery or power supply. With a set of properly charged

batteries, the unit operates for a minimum of 20 hours. When not in use, you can

leave the unit connected to the charger.

Powering On the QC890 Verifier

• If the power supply is attached and plugged into a wall outlet, the QC890

Verifier is on.

• If the QC890 Verifier is attached to the USB host with power on, the verifier

is on.

• If the QC890 Verifier is operating using the battery, it shuts itself off after 15

minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power. Pressing the scan button on

top of the unit one time powers up the unit from the power down mode.

Quick Check ImageData

The Quick Check ImageData (QCID) program was designed for use in

conjunction with the QC890 Verifier. Use of any other hardware devices with this

program is not supported. Installation of the QCID software for your appropriate

operating system is included on the CD-ROM that accompanied your verifier.

The QCID is the graphical interface to the Quick Check 890 Verifier. The

verification results can be saved for later reference.

Installation of Quick Check ImageData

To install the Quick Check ImageData, insert the CD and follow the instructions

that display.

Communication Interfaces

The QC890 Verifier system supports the following interfaces: USB, RS-232, and

Bluetooth®.

USB Communication Interface

For the USB interface, the Hand Held Products CDC-ACM driver must be

installed prior to using the QC890 Verifier. This driver is copied to the following

directory during install:

<install location>\Drivers\USBCOMPortEmulation/hhpcdc.inf

The default <install location> is C:\Program Files\Hand Held Products\Quick

Check ImageData\drivers\USBCOMPortEmulation.

2 - 2 Quick Check® 890 User’s Guide

Note: Please review the file, readme.htm, in the install location prior to running

the QCID.

Connect the QC890 Verifier to the host as shown in the illustration below.

USB COM Port Emulation

Scan the following bar code to program the QC890 Verifier to emulate an RS-

232-based COM Port. After connecting the QC890 Verifier and upon successful

installation of the USB driver, the driver will use the next available COM Port. All

QC890 Verifiers that have been configured for USB COM Port emulation use this

host assigned port number. USB COM Port Emulation is the default interface for

the QC890 Verifier.

Note: No additional configuration (e.g., baud rate) is necessary.
