Optical Diagnostic Test
The Optical Diagnostic Test should not be performed if ID cards are
processing. However, in some cases you need to perform the optical
diagnostic test in response to an optics error.
• Transmittance Optics Errors with ID Cards Processing — After
cleaning the transmittance optics in response to a transmittance optics
error, await the next read cycle of the cards to determine if the cleaning
was effective.
• Transmittance Optics Errors without ID Cards Processing — You may
perform the Optical Diagnostic Test after cleaning transmittance optics in
response to a transmittance optics error.
CAUTION: Performing the Optical Diagnostic Test while ID cards
are processing may result in ID cards being TERMINATED.
