to that type. Doing this makes the tool read faster and reduce the unlikely possibility that the tool acci-
dently reads the barcode type incorrectly. To change the "Find" type, select a new type or select "Any
Type" to automatically determine the type.
6. Verify String - If you want to verify that the barcode contains a specific string, type or link that string
into the "Verify String" property. When the tool runs, it compares the "Output String" property to the
"Verify String" property and the tool will fail if they do not match.
7. Scan Lines - If you are using multiple scan lines, enter a value in the "Percent That Must Pass" prop-
erty. At least this percentage of scan lines must pass for the tool to pass. To test the barcode quality, you
can set this to a high value.
8. Expand UPC-A to EAN-13 and Expand UPC-E to UPC-A - Select these to automatically expand a
12 character UPC code to a 13 character EAN-13 code or an 8 character UPC-E code to a 12 character
UPC-A code. These settings can be useful if the codes are a mix and you always want the maximum
number of characters to be output.
9. Verify Optional Check Character - See “Verify Optional Check Character” on page 3-159.
10. On the Pass/Fail image, passing scan lines are displayed in green, failing lines are displayed in red. The
tool’s pass/fail status and the Read string (that was decoded from the barcode) are displayed below the
image.
