Handle measurements that need attention

Recognise an outside-tolerance result and refuse an invalid measurement before correcting the example.

For operators

Recognise an outside-tolerance result and refuse an invalid measurement before correcting the example.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Handle measurements that need attention

  1. Record an example that is too narrow

    Record an example that is too narrow.

    The horizontal size is outside tolerance. Check actual-size printing, the selected paper size and the driver, then repeat with a fresh test.

  2. Refuse a negative measurement

    Refuse a negative measurement.

    A negative measurement cannot be used. Correct it from the paper label rather than accepting an invalid result.

  3. Record the example width measurement

    Record the example width measurement.

    Enter 50.05 millimetres for this practice example. On a real label, measure between the tick centres on paper, not on the screen.

  4. Record the example height measurement

    Record the example height measurement.

    The two directions are checked separately. These example values are within the chosen tolerance; this does not qualify a physical printer.

  5. Review the report

    Review the report.

    Review the evidence before sharing it. By default, device names, notes and received text are excluded.

Watch or practise this chapter

Use real paper measurements and keep useful evidence. This training does not qualify physical equipment.
