Saving and Printing
Saving Data
When you scan a bar code symbol and you do not have a printer connected to
the Quick Check 600/800 Verifier, or a printer is connected but not turned on, you
can store or save, the scan results in the verifier’s print buffer. You can print the
stored results at a later time. There are two ways to save data — using the
AutoPrint/Store feature or through the Print Results menu.
To save scan data:
1. Set the AutoPrint/Store feature to On.
Refer to the instructions in
Chapter 3, Changing the Settings
for changing
the settings.
2. Scan a bar code symbol.
The verifier automatically saves the results in its print buffer.
OR
1. Scan a bar code symbol.
2. If the AutoPrint/Store feature is set to Off, press SELECT three times.
• Pressing SELECT the first time displays a menu that begins with Print
Results and the cursor is on the asterisk next to Print Results.
•Pressing SELECT a second time displays a message stating that a
printer is not attached and asks if you want to store the data.
•Pressing SELECT a third time saves the data. The verifier saves the
results in its print buffer.
Checking the Print Buffer During Operation
When you turn on the Quick Check 600/800 Verifier, a message appears if there
are records stored in its print buffer. You can also check the print buffer status
during operation, called “on-demand checking.”
The print buffer display provides both the percent of the memory used for the
stored records and the number of scan or profile records in the memory. The
amount of data you can store in the buffer depends on the symbology type and
the number of encoded data characters. In some cases when you are saving
scan profile data, memory may be almost full with data from just a few scans. In
other cases, the buffer may contain data from hundreds of scans, but only be
50% full. The unit can store approximately 2000 scans of U.P.C.-A code. When
the buffer reaches capacity, a full buffer message appears.
