07/02 ColorFlex 13-7
To operate the bar code scanner, hold the wand at a slight angle (10 to 30 degrees) from vertical. Place
the wand on the page either to the right or left of the code to be scanned and move the wand at a steady
speed across the code to the other side. Do not stop until the bar code is completely passed over.
The red light at the tip of the bar code reader will blink twice when scanning the ENTER code and will
blink once for all other codes when the codes have been scanned correctly. You must look for the blink
for each code scanned. If the reader does not blink, try again. If you miss seeing the blink, or are unsure
if it blinked or not, scan the EXIT code and start the sequence again.
To modify the scanner setup, complete the following steps:
1. Change the default parity to “SPACE.” Perform the following scan sequence:
ENTER, ROMAN NUMERAL II, B, EXIT.
2. Change the default preamble. Perform the following scan sequence:
ENTER, ROMAN NUMERAL III, C, 0, 1, C, 4, 0, C, 6, 5, C, 5, B, EXIT.
3. Change the default postamble. Perform the following scan sequence:
ENTER, ROMAN NUMERAL IV, A, EXIT.
Note: The information contained in this section is specific for use with the ColorFlex sensor. For
additional information regarding features, maintenance, or use of the bar code reader, please see
the manuals provided with the bar code reader.
Note: The bar code reader is not configured for direct operation with the available software support
packages provided by HunterLab. This software package cannot access the bar code information.
Reading and Saving Bar Code IDs
1. Switch the ColorFlex to Setup mode and go to the Instrument Setup screen.
2. Turn Autosave ON.
3. Switch the ColorFlex to Read mode.
4. Select the appropriate setup. You are prompted to read the sample or ID from the bar code reader.
Note: If WORKING is the selected standard type, you will first be prompted to read the standard or
ID.
5. Position the ColorFlex on the specimen and take a measurement using the Read key. The ColorFlex
again asks for sample or ID.
6. Enter the sample ID by swiping the bar code reader wand across the bar code. The instrument beeps
after the ID is entered.
Note: The sample measurement must be made BEFORE the bar code ID is entered.
When the datalog is printed to a serial printer, the bar code ID appears with each reading.
