Scan Report
IMPORTANT
To print a Scan Report, ODV-2D > Control >Telemetry Data must be set to the option
"Full Report".
This executable menu item prints a diagnostic printout of bar code analysis parameters calculated by the
ODV-2D. It allows you to determine which parameter may be the cause of bar code verification failures.
The report printed is based on the last Full Report received from the ODV-2D. This allows you to send a
bar code print job to the printer, have the bar code evaluated by the ODV-2D, and view a report of the
parameters as seen by the ODV-2D.
For forms with multiple bar codes, only information from the last processed bar code will be included in the
report. To view validator parameters for all bar codes on a form, use the Auto ID Data Manager within
PrintNet Enterprise.
IMPORTANT
If the label is not wide enough, not all the information will print.
The printed report is generated from ODV-2D reports received by the printer during printing. The report
does not include information about bar codes that are placed in the ODV-2D scanning beam while the
printer is idle or from print jobs that generate an "Unscannable: xx Missing Codes" error message.
The number of Total Scans and Good Scans can help you determine if the print speed is set too high and
causing borderline failures. The Scan Report is based on the last Full Report received by the validator.
Therefore, if the last bar code printed is positioned close to the last inch of the form, and on-demand
printing occurs to force the last bar code to be fed past the ODV-2D beam, the Total Scans and Good
Scans reported will not be the same as those reported by the ODV-2D when printing at the set Media >
Speed > Print Speed. This is because the on-demand printing portion is done at a fixed print speed which
may be higher or lower than the set Print Speed. For example, a bar code printed at 7 ips may yield eight
Total Scans, but if printed in an on-demand printing mode it may yield 18 Total Scans.
Scan Report Information
1. "ERROR:" followed by highest priority failure message (if an error other than "Unscannable Code"
occurred) or "None" if no error occurred
2. Orientation (does not apply to 2-D codes)
3. Printout of characters read from the bar code
4. Symbology Type Read (e.g., Code 39, Code 128)
5. Overall Grade (letter grade and calculated/number value)
6. Aperture (mils)
7. Wavelength (nm)
32
