The Auto PackTrack procedure when run from the scanner keypad, requires a system reset
before the calibration is recognized. See the Auto PackTrack Setup procedure.
Version: the version of the PCT-8000 being used for calibration. This value can be read from
the barcode labels on the PCT-8000. Each label has the value vnnn where v is the version
number.
Cal Type: the XYZ calibration is forced. The coordinates for the three axes are calibrated.
For Oscillating Mirror models the scan line must be parallel to the conveyor
direction and only the Y calibration will be performed, (the X and Z axes will
automatically be set to zero).
NOTE
X Cal: the Absolute X position is forced. The X coordinate for all scanners is relative to the
precise point (PackTrack Reference Point X, Y, Z = 0).
X Offset: The X Offset moves the Absolute X coordinate (X, Y, Z= 0) for all the scanners to
the desired point along the X axis which will be measured in step 7 in par. 1.7.3.
Sensor: calibration will be performed either using the system Presence Sensor and Encoder
(most cases), or the PPA-8000 Photocell Array, for systems where the Presence Sensor or
Encoder are not present (typically Tilt-Tray or Cross-Belt applications).
The Auto PackTrack procedure requires using the PPA-8000 Photocell
Array for all systems where either the Presence Sensor or the Encoder are
absent (including Continuous Operating Mode and Cargoscan applications).
NOTE
If using the Presence Sensor and Encoder, the presence sensor must be connected to
the CBX100/500 Input 1 and in this menu Sensor is set to 0. The scanners Encoder Step
parameter must also be set correctly.
If using the PPA-8000, in this menu you must set Sensor (the Photocell distance) to 165
mm. The Photocell Array must be connected to the CBX100/500 I1 and I2 inputs (see the
relative installation manual), and the Encoder, if present, must be disconnected.
