The
Inspector 3000 meets the American National Standard Institute’s
"Guideline for Bar Code Quality’ (ANSI X3.182) method for
verification. It also meets Uniform Code Council (UCC) and CEN
specifications regarding verification methods.
This
truly unique and powerful instrument is also easy to use. All the
popular linear symbologies are supported. Store and print
capability, multiple scan averaging and subsymbology choices are
easily accessed through a simple four-button user interface.
Analysis information appears immediately on a 32-character
alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). A distinct audible tone
and a series of five colored LED’s indicate whether a bar code is
in or out of specification.
In
addition to the ANSI method parameters, traditional analysis
parameters are provided on the LCD without the need for special mode
settings.
Data
can also be sent to an optional printer or to RS-232 compatible
equipment for further analysis.
Two
wand choices are available – 6 mil and 10 mil aperture, both with
red (660 nm) light wavelength.
Accessories
available include two printer models and a battery charger/power
supply.

RJS
INSPECTOR 3000
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The
RJS Inspector 3000 performs the ANSI method of verification. This
document is intended to describe the verifier’s standards of
compliance.
Reflectance
Compliance - 660 nm wavelength (red) light (see
note 1)
The
reflectance values indicated for the calibration plaque supplied
with the Inspector 3000 are traceable to the Applied Image Primary
Verification Calibrated Standard per ANSI X3.182 Step Reflectance
Chart (see note 2).
ANSI
Verification Method Compliance
The
Inspector 3000 gathers data and performs all ANSI parameter
calculations per the X3.182-1990 methodology. No
optical correction algorithms are incorporated in this system. One
RJS proprietary calculation correction algorithm is incorporated to
provide a more accurate and consistent Decodability calculation for
manual scanning. This algorithm produces maximum accuracy for
Decodability when a symbol is scanned both directions during a
multiple scan analysis.
The
Inspector 3000 incorporates an industry standard wand for its
optical configuration. By design, this optical configuration does
not meet all aspects of the X3.182-1990 requirements.
Final
system test is performed by scanning a set of test symbols that are
traceable to Applied Image U.P.C. Primary Verification Standard (per
ANSI X3.182) calibrated at 660 nm and 6 mil aperture (or 10 mil
depending on the wand model being tested.) All calculated parameters
are confirmed to be within +/- 4% of all target parameter values
marked on the symbols (see notes 1 and 2.)
Notes:
-
The
Inspector 3000 can be set up to be calibrated to practically any
reflectance standard. High and low calibration reflectance
target values are user programmable via menus.
-
Applied
Image certified Calibration Standards are manufactured to
Applied Image, Inc. and Uniform Code Council, Inc.
specifications, using ANSI X3.182-1990 methodology, and are
calibrated using standards traceable to the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.)
