SECTION 9
BAR CODE READER (Optional)
Subjects covered in Section 9 are:
* 9.1 Attaching SP78-200 Bar Code Reader to an Instrument
* 9.2 Scanning a Bar Code
* 9.3 Troubleshooting
The Optional SP78-200 Bar Code Reader is used to scan bar codes.
When the BCR is used in conjunction with an X-Rite instrument, a
scanned bar code becomes a tag for the measurement(s) taken with the
instrument. When the data is uploaded into a software program (e.g.,
QA-Master
®
) the bar code tag(s) become sample tag(s).
