Performance Verification of Barcode Scanner:

1 D Barcode:

Activity 1: Scan 5 numbers for similar barcodes of one product and take the printout.

Acceptance Criteria: The printout shall contain all 5 numbers of similar barcode information.

Activity 2: Scan 3 numbers of one type of barcode and 2 numbers of another type of barcode and take the printout.

Acceptance Criteria: The printout shall contain 3 numbers of one type of barcode information and 2 numbers of other types of barcode information.

Activity 3: Scan 3 numbers of similar barcodes and 2 numbers of the same barcodes by hiding some of the lines and take the printout.

Acceptance Criteria: Printout shall contain only 3 numbers of barcode information, no beep sound shall be observed and barcode information not be available for the hidden barcodes.

Activity 4: Take 5 numbers of similar barcodes. Draw a diagonal line for 1 number, draw a cross line for 1 number, and widen (Overwrite) the barcode line for 1 number.

Procedure for Scanning: Scan the 5 numbers in the order of 1 similar barcode. diagonal lined 1 number, cross lines 1 number, widen lines 1 number and 1 similar barcode and take the printout.
