VALIDATOR
•
Infinite: The printer stops after every 5 retry attempts and displays the
appropriate fault message. When you clear the fault message, the printer
continues to print the same label. It does not attempt to print the next label
until the previous (problem) label is printed correctly.
The factory default is 5.
Decodeability
This item is an Admin User function and is used for adjustment of the pass/fail
criteria.
The range is 30-90%, and the factory default is 37%.
Percent Decode
This item is an Admin User function and is used for adjustment of the pass/fail
criteria.
The range is 0-99%, and the factory default is 60%.
Defects
This is an Admin User option. Defects are voids found in bars or spots found
in the spaces or quiet zones of the bar codes. Voids, spots, smudges, and
other defects in bar code symbols can yield poor scanning results, and will
yield lower verification results.
Increasing the defects value will allow more defects per barcode before
issuing a fail message.
Scanner Settings
This is an Admin User option and has two purposes:
•
Allows the validator to upload an optimized setting for a particular printer
model at power up. This will use the full scanner beam width and improve
the performance and efficiency of the validator.
•
Allows you to customize a special scanner setting for a specific
application. The file can then be downloaded to the printer by using
normal printer download modes and must be saved as part of the power
up configuration.
The factory default depends on the printer model and custom files.
Beam Shift
This is an Admin User option that enables you to shift the beam horizontally to
the left or right. The left edge of the beam should be 0.13 inch to the left of the
left edge of the tear bar. After you set this value, save it as part of the
configuration for future use.
The range is -99 to 99, and the factory default is 0.
