Follow these steps to configure the AQIST Software for the 3-star compliance test.

1. Select the FADGI 3 Star 300 dpi - Target or FADGI 3 Star 400 dpi - Target Scan Setting to scan the DICE Target.
2. Update the File Name Prefix to help identify scanned images of the DICE Target in the GoldenThread™ Software summary report
   • Use this file naming convention “Scanner Serial No._DICE Target Serial No._FADGI Target Profile (including resolution)”
     Example filename:
     SN54833719_426_FADGI 3 Star 300 dpi - Target

Follow these steps to configure the scanner for the 3-star compliance test.

1. Open the Gap Release and Rear Exit. (See the User’s Guide for information.) Install a Rear Exit Tray (if one isn’t already installed). Adjust the Rear Exit Tray to accommodate the length of the DICE Target.
2. Update the Destination location to a folder location for analyzing DICE images captured.
3. Confirm that FADGI Mode is enabled on the scanner. The FADGI logo should display at the top of the Operator Control Panel. (If the logo doesn’t display, enable the FADGI Mode using the Settings menu on the Operator Control Panel.)
4. Handle the DICE Target by paper leader and edges. Wear clean white gloves when you handle the DICE Target. Feed the DICE Target into the scanner leader first.

Definitions of icons and symbols on the OCP are provided in Section 3 of the User’s Guide (see Scanning – Ready Screen).
