  • Page 6: Barcode Read

    LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Barcode Read The LVS-7000 decodes 1D (linear) and 2D (two-dimensional) codes (including ECC-200 Data Matrix, Composite, QR Code, PDF-417 and Micro PDF) and determines if the code is “readable.” No attempt is made to grade the codes according to any standard.

  • Page 7: Optical Character Verification (Ocv)

    Barcode 1D and 2D Health Check This feature is enabled by an Omron Microscan representative. When requested, the system can be configured for health check instead of grading. If this feature is enabled, the choices are 1D/2D (Read) or (Health check), instead of 1D/2D (Read) or (Grade).

This is the target area.  The blue line represents the optimal reflectance profile and is configured by an Omron Microscan technician. The red line must fit within the green bar or you will not be allowed to continue with calibration. Ideally, the red line should overlay the blue line, but the red line must fit within the green bar.

If an error message appears, contact Omron Microscan technical support. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE CAMERA WITHOUT ASSISTANCE FROM OMRON MICROSCAN TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
  • Page 18 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X 8. Place the Omron Microscan calibration card under the camera so that as many barcodes are within the field of view as possible. The system displays the ANSII parameters of all the decoded barcodes that the camera detects (see below).
  • Page 19 10. Calibration is complete. The ANSI values of the barcodes now match the recorded values on the card within a few points (+/- 8%). If calibration fails, repeat the calibration process. Be sure to inspect the calibration card carefully for damages and impurities. If the problem still persists, contact Omron Microscan for technical assistance.

  • Page 29: Manual Setup

    LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Manual Setup Follow the steps below to use the Manual Setup feature. Step 1: Set Label Repeat Setting label repeat and synchronization must be performed while the web is moving. It is recommended that the web moves slowly so that waste and uninspected material in minimized.
  • Page 30 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X 2. Select “No” when asked, “Do you want to use the automatic setup feature?”. The “Step 1: Set label repeat” screen appears: 3. In the “Desired” column, enter the desired value into the inches or millimeter (mm) field. 4.
  • Page 31 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Step 2: Synchronize Synchronization Overview Synchronization of the LVS-7000 takes the image and electronically creates a repeating pattern for locking. This process emulates the effect generated by a traditional Photo Optic trigger. The principle is simple enough to understand with some pictorial illustrations.
  • Page 32 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X As you can see there are portions of this image attached to the right (after the red line) that look similar. These portions are the where the text goes across the label. The part we are most interested in seeing are the portions that had the black lines going across the image.
  • Page 33 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X When we average just the portions between the lines, we can process and lock in the repeat much faster than doing the entire image. Keeping it as small as possible is the best rule of thumb, though sometimes it may need to be large in order to accomplish the goal.
  • Page 34 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Synchronization 1. In order to manually synchronize the system, the operator must adjust the two slide bars. The “slice” is a portion of the label that has the best representation of the labels static (unchanging) portion. To change the Width of the “slice”...

The slide bar to the right and below this image will allow the operator to view other parts of the image. Right-click on the full resolution image to zoom in on the image.
  • Page 36 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Step 3: Create Sectors A sector is defined as an area of interest that is to be analyzed. This step prompts the operator to establish this sector. The software will not process anything located outside the sector. An image must be present to draw a sector.
  • Page 37 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Copy an Entire Sector 1. Using your mouse, click within the desired sector that is located within a blue box; the sector bounding box then turns red. 2. Right-click inside the desired sector; the sector bounding box turns green. 3.
  • Page 38 LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Multiple sectors can be copied and moved to other labels. This is helpful when an operator has to check the same information on different labels within a repeat. LVS-7000 Operations Manual Version 5.6.X Page 38 of 187...
