System Outline
This document outlines
the product detail and
interface to the LVS7500 inspection system
for thermally printed
labels.
1) LVS-7500 OVERVIEW
1.1) 1.1	General
The LVS-7500 offers 100% print quality inspection and ISO
verification of 1D and 2D
barcodes for thermal and
thermal transfer printers. LVS-7500 features
include:
•	 Barcode Validation
(Reading of 1D and 2D
codes)

•	 Barcode Verification
(Grading of 1D and
2D codes to ISO/IEC
Standards)
•	 Master-to-Label
Comparison (Blemish
Detection)
•	 Optical Character
Recognition (OCR)
•	 Optical Character
Verification (OCV)
•	 Number Validation
•	 Data and Code
Matching
The LVS-7500 software
is highly configurable
through settings in an
integrated configuration
editor. Two operation

modes are available:
Design mode and Production mode.

between Design and Production modes within the
LVS-7500 software.

The reason for the different modes is to support
the segregation of duties
and provide a productive
and secure environment
for label production and
validation. The option
of using one LVS-7500
system for Design and
Production and switching
modes is available; this
dual mode system would
require a specific software license before the
functionality is enabled.
In dual mode, there is
separation of duties
with the ability to switch

Design and Production
mode units are normally separate physical
systems. The primary
difference between the
two modes is that job
templates are created in
Design mode only. The
job templates are then
imported and become
executable jobs in Production mode. Highlights
of each mode are listed
below.

Design Mode

Production Mode

•	Create a new job template
(Design mode only!)

•	Reusable job templates are imported and become executable jobs
(Production mode only!)

•	Load an existing or unfinished job template

•	Variable data files assigned to reusable templates if required

•	Retrieve a job template from archive

•	Load an existing or unfinished job

•	Copy an existing job template

•	Automation options – using LVS-TCP I/P HMI interface

•	Closeout and clear job templates that are ready for production

•	Login credentials create an audit trail of operator actions

•	Promote a job template to production

•	Operator administration and permissions controlled through Microsoft
Active Directory
•	Summary data reports combine data from multiple runs

2) DESIGN MODE
In Design mode, the label verification template
is created as a separate
process in a pre-press
or off-line environment.
The design process is as
it sounds – the label templates are created and
golden images of the actual labels are captured
in an off-line process.
The inspection points are
all set in Design mode so
the production process
can remain as automated
as possible.
Label areas or sectors that require vision
inspection/validation are
defined and the details
of the type of validation
are stored in the job
template.
The following sector
types are available:
Barcode Read
This sector type is used
to validate a 1D (linear)
or 2D (two-dimensional)
barcode label. The

LVS-7500 inspects the
barcode image to determine if it is “readable.”
Expected data can be
fixed or variable.
Barcode Grade
This sector type is used
to verify (decode and
grade) a 1D or 2D barcode image according to
ISO/IEC standards. The
passing grade is user
configurable for each
sector. The LVS-7500
verifies 1D and 2D codes
including GS1 symbologies according to the
internationally accepted
rules of the applicable
symbology specifications and ISO 15415 and
15416.
Barcode Grade
This sector type is used
to verify (decode and
grade) a 1D or 2D barcode image according to
ISO/IEC standards. The
passing grade is user
configurable for each
sector. The LVS-7500
verifies 1D and 2D codes

including GS1 symbologies according to the
internationally accepted
rules of the applicable
symbology specifications and ISO 15415 and
15416.
OCR Read
The Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) sector
type is used to “read”
the human readable
characters located within
a drawn sector; this data
can be variable or static.
Variable data, such as
Lot Number and Expiration Date, is passed to
the LVS-7500 using one
of two options:
•	Option 1: Use a data
file in a csv format that
contains the variable
data. This data file
and the job template
are sent to the LVS®
Production system at
run time.
•	Option 2: Send the
data over TCP/IP to
the LVS-7500 Produc-

tion system after the
job template is loaded
(see “API Control” section for more information).
OCV Verify
The Optical Character
Verification (OCV) sector
type is used to score the
print quality of the human readable characters
within a drawn sector.
This sector type provides
100% OCV to matching
text validation. The passing score is user configurable for each sector.
Blemish
This sector type is
learned and stored as a
golden image to the job
and used as non-variable
compare for all labels.
The LVS-7500 identifies
and tracks potential print
errors such as die cut
errors, broken letters,
skews, smears, spots,
voids, wrinkles, missing copy, and other print
quality defects.

Process

Description

Load an Existing Template

The designer can have several job templates in process at one time. By selecting “Load an Existing template,” the
designer is prompted to select from a list of in-progress templates located in the Design\Templates folder. From
the view screen of existing templates, the designer also has the following options:
• Create new template
• Delete template
• Save as

Closeout and Clear Job

After design is complete, the designer will select to “Closeout and clear job.” This process creates a job template by
zipping up all files for the job and stores the templatename.zip file in the Design\Archive folder of the Design mode
LVS-7500 or a mapped location on the client’s server.

Save As

The designer has the option to reuse an existing completed template. From the list of Archived templates, the designer selects “Save As” and will then be prompted for the new template name. The new template will be renamed
and other required files renamed to match. The newly created template folder will be moved to the Design\Templates folder.

Retrieve from Archive

Job templates previously created during the “Closeout and Clear Job” process can be retrieved from the Microscan
Design\Archive folder to allow additional design changes. Retrieved templates are unzipped into a templatename
subfolder of the Design\Template folder.

Promote to Production

While viewing Job templates in the Design\Archive folder, the designer has the option to “Promote to Production.”
This option copies the template to the Production\Import folder making it available for execution by a Production
mode operator.

Job Template Create/Edit

New job templates can be created from scratch or from an existing template. The new job template is created with
the LVS-7500 job editor. The template is fully tested in Design mode until it is ready to promote to a Production
template.

LVS-7500 OVERVIEW SPECIFICATION

In Design mode, the LVS7500 utilizes the following job template related
file folders for a specific
purpose. The naming
of the folders below is
based on their purpose
but can be changed to
suite the client. All folders can be on a mapped
network drive or local
drive for each LVS-7500
system.
•	Design\Templates
folder:
- In Design mode,
this is where new
templates are created and designed.
Multiple templates
under development
are allowed; each
is contained in a
subfolder of the
Microscan Design\
Templates folder.
- New templates
initiated using the
“Create a New Job”
process are created in the Design\
Templates folder as
described above.
•	Design\Archive
folder:
Send the data over
TCP/IP to the LVS7500 Production
system after the job

template is loaded
(see “API Control”
section for more information).
Design mode is intended to eliminate the
set-up process on the
production line. Design
mode systems can be
setup anywhere on the
client’s network. The
Design mode system is
a complete system that
includes the LVS-7500 inspection unit, computer
and client printer. The
process of capturing a
Golden Image is through
a physical printout of
the mock production
run labels. The mock
production labels are
printed and variable data
attributes are tested
in the Design mode.
Once a golden image is
captured from an actual
label print, the Design
operator can compare
that image against an
approved PDF using the
supplied PDF comparison
software on the Design
system. The comparison
process is as simple as
loading an approved PDF
from a folder location on
the network and clicking
“Play.” The software runs
a comparison against the

captured golden image
and highlights any differences for the operator
to review. Once satisfied
that the PDF and Golden
image match, the operator clicks “Accept” and
a report is stored with
the job for any future
reference. If the operator finds any discrepancies, he/she simply
reprints a new image on
the LVS-7500 and runs
the comparison again.
The Design system is a
sophisticated software
package with many
inspection capabilities.
It is best operated by a
well-trained individual or
group to ensure the final
production process runs
as automated as possible with as little operator
interference as possible.
2.1) DESIGN MODE GUI
After the LVS-7500 user
Login, the Design mode
initial screen will display
two option buttons: “Retrieve from Archive” and
“Load an Existing job.”
•	Retrieve from Archive: This button
opens a view screen
displaying the contents
of the folder defined
in the LVS-7500 set-

tings for \Design\
Archive. A job template
is selected by doubleclicking the template
name. Job templates
are placed in this
folder by the “Closeout
and Clear Job” process
in the Design mode
system. In the job template view screen, the
operator has options
to “Delete,” “Save as”
and “Promote to production.” The “Promote
to production” option
will copy the job template to the \Production\Template folder,
making it available to
an LVS-7500 Production mode system.
•	Load an Existing Job:
This button opens a
view screen displaying
the contents of the
folder defined in the
LVS-7500 settings for
\Design\Template. A

LVS-7500 OVERVIEW SPECIFICATION

3) PRODUCTION MODE
In Production mode,
the LVS-7500 can be
configured based upon
the printer implementation and level of operator interaction desired.
Some printers allow
failing labels to be pulled
back into the printer and
over struck, effectively
destroying the failing
label. While other printers that do not have this
overstrike feature are
paused by the LVS-7500
for the operator to take
action to remove and destroy a failing label. The
LVS-7500 software can
be configured to accommodate the level of user
interaction desired by a
customer.
Production mode systems are designed to
simplify the print job
verification process. The
client can choose what

level of automation they
prefer for their production environment: from
a basic HMI provided by
the client to handle the
movement of job folders
from the client server to
LVS-7500 local production systems ­– to a fully
controlled client-created
HMI running and controlling the LVS-7500.
Microscan has options
for most client’s needs.
Our logic for splitting Design mode and
Production mode is to
simplify the inspection
process for the production operators. We offer
some simplistic interface
functions that most, if
not all clients should be
able to access and utilize
to painlessly integrate
the LVS-7500 into your
existing label production
process.

•	Standard User Interface: The operator
selects the “Import
a Job” button on
the main LVS-7500
“Welcome” screen and
selects a job template
from the designated
Production\Import
folder. If the template
requires a match-to
data file, the operator
is prompted to select a
data file. The operator is then prompted
to provide a new job
name to be given to
the reusable template.
•	Auto Load Setting:
The Auto Load configuration setting allows
clients to drop a job
file into the active
Production\Jobs folder
and the LVS-7500 will
take over from there. If
the template requires
a match-to data file,
the file will also be

dropped into the Jobs
folder. The LVS-7500
loads the new template, preps any data
elements for inspection and controls the
printer, awaiting a signal from the LVS-7500
to start the inspection
process.
•	Custom HMI using
TCP I/P: The client
has access to the
LVS-7500 API through
the use of TCP I/P
commands. Clients or
integrators can create a custom HMI to
integrate the LVS-7500
into a client’s label
production process.
In Production mode, the
LVS-7500 utilizes the
following logical folder
types. The physical location and naming of these
folders is configured in
the LVS-7500 software
settings:

Folder Type

Description

Production\Jobs

The folder where the currently loaded and active job is located. Only one active job is allowed, which is verified
by the LVS-7500 software. Jobs are moved into this folder when the operator selects a job from the “Production\
Import” folder. When “Closeout and Clear Job” is executed, the job files are zipped and moved to the Archive folder
and the jobname.zip file is removed from the Import folder. If Auto Load is enabled, once the active job is cleared,
the system automatically begins monitoring the Jobs folder for any new job files.

Production\Import

This folder contains new jobs templates available for execution. Each template is contained in a single templatename.zip file created in Design mode. Templates selected for execution are unzipped into a jobname folder in the
“Production\Jobs” folder location previously described. If the template requires a match-to data file, the operator
is prompted to select a data file. The operator is prompted to provide a new job name to be given to the reusable
template. When a “Closeout and Clear Job” is executed, the active job files are zipped and moved to the Archive
folder. The templatename.zip template file remains in the Production\Import folder to be reused.

Production\Output

For a completed job, the “Closeout and Clear Job” process causes the output reporting and summary files to be
written to this folder path.

Production\Archive

If the job is closed out and cleared, the job is zipped up and moved from the Jobs folder to the Archive folder. Jobs
can be retrieved from Archive so that an unfinished job can be completed.

This button is displayed if there is an existing job loaded in the Jobs folder. Selecting this button opens a view
screen displaying the contents of the folder defined in the LVS-7500 settings for \Production\Jobs. A job is selected by double-clicking the job name. If an existing job is loaded, the “Closeout and Clear Job” process must be
executed before the operator has the option to “Import a New Job.”

Import a New Template

This button is displayed if there is no currently loaded job in the \Production\Jobs folder. Selecting this button
opens a view screen displaying the contents of the folder defined in the LVS-7500 settings for \Production\Import. A job template is selected by double-clicking the template name. The operator will be prompted to provide a
job name to be created from the selected template. If the template requires a match-to data file, the system will
prompt for selection of the data file. The data files are also located in the \Production\Import folder

After a template is
selected, the LVS7500 “Ready to Run”
screen opens and is
now considered to be

an executable job. The
option buttons displayed
along the left side of the
display will depend upon
the LVS-7500 software

configuration setting and
the current state of the
loaded job. The following
“Ready to Run” buttons
are available:

4) API CONTROL
Basic Production mode
functionality of the LVS7500 can be controlled
using aTCP/IP command
set. This is available
to third party software
providers in order to remotely operate and communicate with LVS-7500
systems. These are the
TCP/IP commands currently supported.
4.1.1) Load Job
The “Load Job” command
will load the desired job
on all connected LVS7500 systems.
4.1.2) Start Running
The “Start Running”
command will start the
currently loaded job on
the LVS-7500 system.
4.1.3) Stop Running
The “Stop Running”
command will stop the
desired job on the LVS7500 system.
4.1.4) Continue Last
Run
The “Continue Last Run”
command is valid only
after a job has been
loaded. Sending this
command will initiate
inspections and the
results will be appended
to the most recent run
file (CSV file) instead of
creating a new run.
4.1.5) Make Ready
The “Make Ready” command is valid only after
a job has been loaded.
Sending this command
will load initiate Make

Ready mode for the currently loaded job.
4.1.6) Start Bypass
The “Start Bypass” command is valid only after
a job has been loaded
and is currently running.
Sending this command
will put the LVS-7500
system into Bypass
mode.

“Match this text” field.
Example:
The field designator
“REF_NBR” has already
been entered in the
“Match this text” field for
the desired sectors in
the job.

4.1.7) End Bypass
The “End Bypass” command is valid only after a
job has been loaded and
is currently running in Bypass mode. Sending this
command will take the
LVS-7500 system out of
Bypass mode and back
into normal run mode.
4.1.8) Reset Alarms
The “Reset Alarms” command is the equivalent
of clicking the “Reset
alarms” button on the
LVS-7500 system.
4.1.9) Set Match To
The “Set Match To” command sets the “Match
this text” string of OCR,
OCV, barcode grade or
barcode read sectors. To
use this feature, a field
designator text string is
entered into the “Match
this text” setting in each
sector. The field designator is a unique string
identifier that is replaced
at runtime when the “Set
Match To” command is
sent to the LVS-7500
system. Multiple sectors
may have the same field
designator entered in the

To replace the field designator “REF_NBR” with
“ABC123” at run time
send the following “Set
Match To” command:
<0x01c hex><”REF_
NBR|ABC123”>
4.1.10) Exit to Main
The “Exit to Main” command exits from the job
“Ready to run” screen
back to the LVS-7500
system Welcome screen.

5) SECURITY AND USER
PERMISSIONS
Two options are available
for the management of
user permissions:
•	Option one: Manage permissions of
operators completely
within the LVS-7500
software. Users with
LVS-7500 administra-

tor access can create
and manage permissions of other operators completely within
each LVS-7500.
•	Option two: Use Microsoft Active Directory
to manage LVS-7500
operator authentication and authorization.

The LVS-7500 software
will integrate with
Microsoft Active Directory. LVS-7500 users
will be granted user
privileges based Microsoft authentication and
LVS-7500 permissions
are assigned based on
group membership in
Microscan specific

Active Directory
