Label and vial information Applying labels In case of difficulty The Agilent G2615A Bar Code Reader (BCR) attaches to the tray of a 7683 Automatic Sampler. It reads labels attached to sample vials for positive sample identification. • The reader attaches directly to the 7683 tray. A provided spacer may be required to attach some trays. -

Page 7: About Bar Codes
User Information About bar codes A bar code is a printed pattern of bars and spaces that encodes information. The most frequently encountered bar code is the UPC code (Universal Product Code) that appears on most packaged products in the supermarket. The information in a UPC symbol is not the price of the product;... - Page 8 User Information Standard 3 of 9 code Each character is represented by five bars and the four spaces between them. The bar/space patterns are defined so that exactly three are wide and the rest narrow. Characters are separated by a narrow space. See Table Table 1 Standard 3 of 9 code properties...

Page 9: Interleaved 2 Of 5 Code
User Information Interleaved 2 of 5 code Message length, including the checksum character if used, must be an even number. If it is not, a leading zero is inserted. See Table Table 2 Interleaved 2 of 5 code properties Character set Numerals: 0 to 9 (check values 0 to 9) Message length Variable (may require a dummy character) - Page 10 User Information Table 3 EAN/JAN-13 code properties Character set Numerals: 0 to 9 Message length 13 (2 country-of-origin characters, 10 data characters, 1 checksum character) Checksum Required The printed EAN/JAN-13 symbol is divided into left and right halves by a pattern of narrow bars and spaces. Two different code pattern sets are defined for the left side and one for the right side.
- Page 11 User Information UPC codes The UPC-A symbols are a subset of the EAN/JAN symbols. There are two sides, but only one code pattern set for each side. The symbol is equivalent to an EAN/JAN-13 symbol with the first country-of-origin character set to 0 and the second one replaced by a number-system character.
- Page 12 User Information Summary The Standard 3 of 9 code offers the greatest versatility for laboratory use. It can encode both letters and numbers, plus a few punctuation marks, and message length can be varied to suit both the amount of data to be encoded and the space available.

Page 14: Applying Labels
User Information Applying labels One roll of preprinted labels, numbered from 1 to 1000, is provided with the bar code reader. This roll of labels is designed for use with the Label Applicator, discussed later in this section. To purchase additional labels, see your Agilent consumables and supplies catalog or visit our web site at www.Agilent.com. - Page 15 User Information Two vial plates are supplied with the applicator. The one marked UNCAPPED VIALS is used when applying labels to vials that have not been capped. Vials that have been capped will not fit in this plate. A second plate, marked CAPPED VIALS, allows for the extra length of the cap.
- Page 16 User Information 7 The roll begins with a 12-label leader. These labels contain text but no bar code. Peel off and discard these leader labels. Cut the end of the backing tape to a point to make loading easier. 8 Feed the end of the tape under the bottom plate and up through the large opening.
- Page 17 User Information 10 Pull the backing through until it points straight up. See Figure Label position guage Vial Figure 9 Ready to apply labels Using the applicator 1 Place a bottle in the opening in the top plate. It will only fit in one position (to the right).

Page 18: In Case Of Difficulty
User Information In case of difficulty Correct sample vial and label dimensions and label placement CAU T ION are critical for proper tray gripper operation. Vials and labels that do not meet the specifications in Figure 4 Figure 5 cause sampler errors. Service calls and repairs found to be due to vials or labels that do not meet these specifications are not covered under warranty or service contract. - Page 19 User Information Vial caps The vial is sometimes carried by the underside of the vial cap. It is important that the lowest edge of the cap is perpendicular to the sides of the vial. If this is not so, the vial may be carried at an angle and the base of the vial may miss its intended receptacle when lowered.
