to verify the print quality and proper encoding of 2D and USPS barcodes.
- Long Range Scanning and Focus: Average size barcodes
are easily decoded when pulling the trigger anywhere from 3" to
10" away, while many low cost 2D barcode readers require pulling the
trigger at precise, specific distances from the barcode for a successful read.
- Ergonomically Designed: Comfortable, lightweight and designed
to fit easily in the hand for extended use.
- GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128) Decoding: This 2D Barcode Scanner decodes the FNC1 codes in

A unique feature of this scanner is the 2D PQA (Print Quality Assessment)
Tool, which verifies and grades several attributes of a barcode symbol.
When enabled, PQA works on all 2D barcode types including Data Matrix, PDF417, MaxiCode, Aztec and QR-Code in addition to
Postal USPS Postnet and Intelligent Mail. The
PQA report is transmitted as a second beep after the barcode data. Using the
PQA Capture Add-In for Excel
will allow users to collect the data in a spread-sheet for further analysis if
needed. Enable
or disable the PQA feature by scanning the barcodes below directly from the screen.

When verifying barcode symbols with PQA, be sure
to position the scanner directly over the barcode
at an appropriate distance, such as 5 inches as other angles
or distances may incorrectly lower the grade in terms of height,
width and gaps.

After enabling this feature and scanning
some slightly defective barcodes, the IDAutomation Lab received the results below, which
may be viewed by scanning the barcode with IDAutomation's
Free Barcode Scanner
ASCII String Decoder or by placing the cursor in a text editor such as
Notepad or Word.

When the IDAutomation 2D USB Barcode Scanner is used to verify or transmit
lower ASCII control characters and functions, such as what is documented in the
MaxiCode Barcode FAQ, the Control+ASCII Mode must be enabled by scanning
the barcode below. Lower ASCII values may be viewed with IDAutomation's
free Barcode
Scanner ASCII String Decoder.

Programming the IDAutomation USB 2D Barcode Scanner:
