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; however it can easily and inexpensively provide test results that you may find useful for 2D bar code symbol print quality process control. This User's Guide explains how to activate HHP's 2D PQA analysis funct

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, the reader may have to be held several degrees below the normal position to avoid specular reflections. 2D Matrix symbol When testing, attempt to minimize as much movement of the imager as pos- sible

2D PQA Reporting Full Report HHP's 2D PQA reporting can be enabled in two different modes: Full Report or Screening. 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 following menu command: 2D_PQA1 or by scanning the following bar code: Full Report Note: With the IT4600/4800/4X80, the PQA report is sent out as a second data/ beep sequence after the bar code data. The repor

If your imager is in keyboard wedge mode, enable Screening by scanning the following bar codes. Minimum Acceptable Minimum Acceptable Grade = A Grade = B Minimum Acceptable Minimum Acceptable Grade = C Grade = D You can exit both Full Report and Screening modes by either typing the menu command, 2D_PQA0, if you are using Quick*View, or by scanning the following bar code: Exit Identifying Symbol Content To identify content or "format" aspects of a symbol, 2D PQA modes report the less than

D if Useful Height >= 1.0 X, else Fotherwise In Screening modes, this parameter is reported as "Useful Row Height is Too Short (1.5X)" when that is the case. {7} lists the Data Safety Margin, which is the ratio of the unused error correc- tion words to the recommended (!) number of such words. Data Safety Mar- gin can exceed 100%, when the ECL is higher than the minimum recommended, or be limited to 50% or lower, even with perfect printing, when the ECL is below minimum. The grade is assig

In rare instances where neither a valid Start nor Stop pattern is measurable, yet the symbol is somehow read, lines {8} and {9} are replaced by a message to that effect. The message is either: "[F] < Start/Stop Decode Fails" in a Full Report or "Start/Stop Characters are Bad" in a Screening mode. In Screening modes, it often occurs that none of the parameters are below the Minimum Acceptable grade. In this case, the final PQA line becomes: "All Measurements within range". MicroPDF417 The F

Because MicroPDF's error correction level is fixed, this parameter is just the "Unused Error Correction" and always between 0 and 100%. {7} lists the Edge Accuracymeasured in multiple scans through the Row Address Patterns. {8} lists the Print Growth measured within the Row Address Patterns. 2D Matrix This section describes 2D PQA outputs for Aztec Code, Data Matrix, QR Code, and MaxiCode.

Note: The reported X-dimension is approximate and based upon use of the IT4410LR at 4.7 in (12 cm) (see "Reading Techniques" on page 1-1). If you use different image engines, the X-dimension will vary. If you hold the reader closer than 4.7 in (12 cm), it will have the effect of reporting a larger than true X-dimension. Conversely, if you hold the reader farther away than 4.7 in (12 cm), it will have the effect of reporting a smaller than true X-dimension. Please contact HHP Applicatio
