Introduction
The LVS-7510 Integrated System offers 100% print quality inspection and barcode verification for Thermal and
Thermal Transfer Printers. LVS-7510 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-7510 is a modular system, which means that you can check the print quality for any of the
aforementioned areas, or for all of the areas. The features are listed below.
Important:
• The maximum system speed is 10 inches per second.
•
The LVS-7510 uses a monochrome camera to capture images, which makes images appear in black and
white. Some images in this guide were captured with a color camera, so you will notice some images with
color.
Barcode Validation
The LVS-7510 decodes 1D (linear) and 2D (two-dimensional) codes (including ECC-200 Data Matrix, GS1 Data
Matrix, Composite, QR Code, GS1 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.
Barcode Verification
The LVS-7510 verifies (decodes and grades) 1D (linear) and 2D (two-dimensional) codes including ECC-200
Data Matrix, Composite, QR Code, PDF-417 and Micro PDF symbologies according to the internationally
accepted rules of the applicable symbology specifications and ISO 15415 and 15416.
The LVS-7510 displays a “real-time” graph indicating the overall ISO grade, which allows the operator to see
trends in print quality for several hundred labels that were just inspected. When an error is detected, the “realtime” graph changes color. The system can also be programmed to “stop the press” when an error occurs (the
appropriate hardware must be purchased for this feature).
Master-to-Label Comparison (Blemish Detection)
The Master-to-Label Comparison module, also referred to as blemish detection, 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. The Master-to-Label Comparison module also includes an “ignore area” function which
accounts for variable image data within a pattern-matching zone and does not report them as blemishes. All
inspection is completed at thermal printer speed. Minimum point size is based on your system’s resolution.
The LVS-7510 uses red light (660 nm) to detect blemishes; thus, color blemishes in the red spectrum may not be
properly detected.
IMPORTANT: The LVS-7510 is designed to inspect labels, record and display the results, and
supply optional signals to the printer or other external system. The LVS-7510 cannot “stop”,
“score out void” or “reprint” labels; these are functions that are the responsibility of the printer. Be
sure your printer has these necessary capabilities and interface connections to utilize the output
capabilities of the LVS-7510.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Unlike the OCV Module, this module “reads” characters and reports the data content. This data is typically
variable and the content remains unknown until it is read. It is important to note that the system can be trained to
know what to expect for every character position. In other words, the software can be programmed on what
characters to expect: alpha, numeric, or special characters. Many fonts are used in the printing industry. The LVS7510 is designed to learn new fonts as necessary. Refer to the “OCR and OCV Guidelines” section below for
more information.
Optical Character Verification (OCV)
The OCV module verifies human readable characters at unparalleled speeds at font sizes as low as four points
(one point is defined as approximately 1/72nd of an inch or .35 mm). The LVS-7510 OCV module ensures that a
string of sequential alpha-numeric characters is verified against a known field or database. In other words, you
program the software to detect what characters should appear and the software reports if the characters actually
appeared. The software will also return a percentage score as to how well the character(s) matched to the trained
character(s). Refer to the “OCR and OCV Guidelines” section below for more information.
OCR and OCV Guidelines:
• Characters must not touch or overlap
•
All uppercase letters in any font are allowed
•
Lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and some special
characters are allowed in OCR-B MT font (6 to 14 points).
Shown to the right are the letters, numbers, and special
characters supported by OCR-B MT font (6 to 14 points)
•
Monospaced fonts, like OCR-B, are preferred and perform
better in the LVS-7510
•
Do not attempt to re-learn any of the supplied OCR-B MT
fonts
Number Validation
Verifies the expected order of any numerical series, detects duplicates and sequence errors, and matches
variable numbers with external data files.
Data and Code Matching
Verifies encoded data that represents human readable information and ensures synchronicity of multiple fields
within a label.

Step 2: Synchronize
Synchronization Overview
Synchronization of the LVS-7510 External System takes the image and electronically creates a repeating pattern
for locking. This process emulates the effect generated by a traditional Photo Optic trigger. The principal is simple
enough to understand with some pictorial illustrations. The LVS-7510 External System takes the image and
averages all pixels going across in rows, then performs the same averaging for all pixels going down in columns
(see example below).
If we were to average all the pixels going across in rows, it would look like a strip added to the right of the picture
below.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 30 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
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. The image below shows three definite sharp black lines that are
unequally spaced apart. This is good as they cannot be mistaken for one another. The black line closest to the top
also has a large darker portion above it since the label had a darker border around the words “Danger” and
“Achtung”. Solid lines are good to utilize, especially when unevenly spaced.
Now following the same principal going down in columns from top to bottom we get a picture that looks like this
(see below).
This example has much less definition through the whole image when looking at the average across the bottom of
the label (below the red line). The large vertical black line that was through the center has made itself the most
obviously defined dark line on the lighter background. Also the spaces between the print through the center of the
label have made the average to the left of the center black line very light in contrast.
Since the smaller the synchronization portion of an image is, the faster it is to process, we can make a guess at
the best area to use as a synchronization slice, which is the smallest portion of the image possible to hold good
image registration. Below is the image of where we would want to designate as our “sync slice”.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 31 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
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.
As another rule of thumb, if your label has variable data on it, that area should be avoided if possible. If it cannot
be avoided you will need to do the inverse, and make the slice as wide as possible to distribute the variation into
the average.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 32 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
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” use the “Sync slice width” slide bar. The minimum size is 128 pixels, and the max is ¼ of
the cameras field of view. Next move the “Sync slice position” slide bar to the desired location. Then, press
“Synchronize.”
The system can also perform the above steps automatically to find the best sync position and width. Click the
“Synchronize Automatically” button. The sync slice will be automatically positioned and sized.
There is no limit to the number of times that manual and automatic sync can be performed.
2. To perfectly center the label in the display, point and left-click the mouse in the center of the label gap shown
on the display. The large (full resolution) or the small (full field of view) image can be used. For very small
repeats, the larger image is easier to pinpoint the gap location.
3. Click the right arrow button.

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. An image can only be created by the camera looking at a moving roll.
This is because a line scan camera cannot see a stationary image; it must be a moving image. Once a correctly
synchronized image is acquired, the operator may stop the roll and work with the still image.
The above image is an example of a sector being drawn around a barcode.
Draw a Sector
1. Click on one corner of the area you wish to inspect and drag the mouse while holding down the left-click
button. This action will cause the software to draw a “red” box.
2. After you are satisfied with the sector position and size, click the right arrow button. The box location will not
be stored until the right arrow button has been selected.
Note: The operator may draw a sector in either image.
Edit a 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. Click the right arrow button to edit the sector.
3. You will be directed to Step 3 where you define the sector type.
4. After you are satisfied with the sector, click the right arrow button. The box location will not be stored until the
right arrow button has been selected.

then turns red.
2. Right-click inside the desired sector; the sector bounding box turns green.
3. Drag and drop the selected sector to the desired location; this copies the parameters of the selected sector.
4. After you are satisfied with the sector, click the right arrow button. The sector location will not be stored until
the right arrow button has been selected.
Note: If you decide not to copy a sector and would like to exit the copying function, simply move
the cursor back to the original sector.
Copy Multiple Sectors
Use the smallest sector when precisely aligning copied sectors. This allows you to view the sector’s location more
precisely in the full resolution image screen.
1. Using your mouse, click within the desired sector that is located within a blue box; the sector bounding box
then turns red.
2. Press the Ctrl button on your keyboard while using your mouse to select the additional sectors. Each selected
sector is highlighted in a red box.
3. Right-click on any sector; this causes a green box to appear around each sector.
4. Drag and drop the selected sectors to the desired location.
5. After you are satisfied with the sector, click the right arrow button. The sector location will not be stored until
the right arrow button has been selected.
Note: If you decide not to copy a sector and would like to exit the copying function, simply move
the cursor back to the original sector.

4. Determine a score (see Scoring Box below for additional information).
Scoring Box
The OCV Scoring box allows you to choose an acceptable score ranging from 0 to 99.
Three scores are available:
Score
Passing
Actual
Warning
Description
The Passing number is a threshold setting. All “Actual” scores greater than the
“Passing” score is said to pass inspection (and vice versa). If the “Actual” score is less
than the “Passing” score, then the inspection has failed and alarms can be set to alert
the operator.
The Actual number represents a percentage of confidence. A 95 would indicate that
there is a good chance that the characters within the drawn sector are correct. A 20
would indicate that there is a better chance that the characters do not match what was
intended.
Indicates an early warning of diminishing print quality. The operator must take action to
improve the grade score quality.

Page 52 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Note: Ctrl+L is a keyboard shortcut for the Relearn button. After pressing Ctrl+L, the system will
accept the next image it sees within each Blemish sector and saves the image as the Golden
image. This shortcut is available only when the system is in Run mode.
After pressing Ctrl+L, a popup message will appear for users without administrative rights. The
user must enter an administrator user name and password for the command to take effect. The
golden image that is recorded is the image after the authorized user name and password is
entered.
3. Within the Blemish Settings box (see above), adjust the following fields as needed:
Field
BG<< >>FG
<< Background
>> Foreground
Description
Separates the Foreground from the Background. Increasing this number will
define more print as Foreground and less as Background. Decreasing this
number will define more of the label as Background and less as Foreground. A
sensitivity of 0 will call everything Background and 100 will call everything
Foreground.
Foreground
Sensitivity
The Foreground Sensitivity setting is the system’s allowable deviation in print
color contrast after converting to gray scale. A sensitivity of 0 will accept all
variations from the original pixel’s gray scale value, while 100 will allow no
variation of the gray scale values. In other words, a setting of 0 will pass
everything that is defined as Foreground print and a setting of 100 will pass
nothing. The operator will need to adjust this setting to find an acceptable
value that does not cause false errors in the print. Foreground is shown in the
light blue color when the Display is set to Area type. Label sections can be
sent to the background or foreground through the Draw tool.
Background
Sensitivity
The Background Sensitivity works the same way as Foreground but it is meant
to find contrast differences in the label’s background. Background is shown in
the light purple color when the Display is set to Area type.
Size/Tolerance
These settings allow the user to increase or decrease the size of detected
Blemishes. It is important to test the software so that a user understands what
size Blemishes are acceptable.
The Preset Configuration Settings buttons allow a user to adjust the following
six blemish settings and to apply the settings to a particular job or to all new
jobs created (based on administrator rights). See the “Preset Configuration
Settings” section for more information on using the Preset Configuration
Settings buttons.

Field
Description
Die cut tolerance
This setting changes the size of the Red line that wraps around each label
when using “fill here” under the Draw section. This area measures the
movement of the outside edge of the label compared to the printing within for
die movement.
User ignore
This option is enabled in the Draw section and allows the user to draw green
ignore areas within the Blemish sector. This tool is useful when there is
incrementing data or differences between each label.
Ignore areas appear in yellow when the “Update Spot Ignore” button is used in
the Operate Screen. Only operators granted the Allow Accept / Replace
Errors permission are allowed to use the Spot ignore feature.
When an operator without Administrator permissions clicks the “Update Spot
Ignore” button, the following message appears:
Spot ignore
Brush Size
Warning
Largest blemish
Discard this
sector
Relearn Button
The operator must enter an Administrator’s Operator ID and Password to
continue, or the Spot ignore feature cannot be used. See the Permissions
section, within the Operators section, for more information on permissions.
Allows the user to change how large or small the brush stroke will be when
ignoring an area.
Select the warning percentage. If the current blemish is less than the Blemish
Size / Tolerance setting and if the ratio of the current blemish size to the
Blemish Size / Tolerance setting is greater than the warning percentage, then
the inspection passes but a warning is flagged.
For example, suppose you decide that a .25” blemish is considered an error. If
the warning percentage is 75%, then a blemish of .25” x 75% = .1875” or larger
is a warning. Blemish sizes less than .1875" is acceptable and passes the
inspection. Blemish sizes .25” and greater will flag an error.
Shows the largest blemish in inches
Click this button to delete the sector. After this button is clicked, the “Step 4:
Define Sector Type” screen appears allowing you to select another sector.
Sectors can also be removed by pressing the “Delete” keyboard button while a
sector(s) is active.
The Relearn Button will re-train the Golden image with the image that is
present.
Note: Ctrl+L is a keyboard shortcut for the Relearn button. After pressing
Ctrl+L, the system will accept the next image it sees within each Blemish
sector and saves the image as the Golden image. This shortcut is available
only when the system is in Run mode.
After pressing Ctrl+L, a popup message will appear for users without
administrative rights. The user must enter an administrator user name and
password for the command to take effect. The golden image that is recorded is

Field Mask
Accept everything (do not match)
Description
Ensure the number of characters is correct for the string length
or a “Wrong Length” error will constantly be encountered.
Teaches the sector what type of character to expect for each
position within a string. There are three possibilities for each
character: numeric (#), alphabetic (@), and alpha/numeric (*).
Special characters can also be used by typing the exact
character in the position where it will be present.
The following informational format is to be used:
Sample: = (AB)8C23 = (@@)*@##
@ means 'A' to 'Z'
* means 'A' to 'Z' or '0' to '9'
# means '0' to '9'
( ) means ' (' and ') ' - Any characters that are not @ * # are
assumed to be special characters.
IMPORTANT! Do not include a space inside the mask. Also,
OCR/OCV can handle up to 39 characters and an error will
occur if there are more than 39 characters in the field mask box.

using OCV.
To match a static (unchanging) number, select Match this text
and enter the desired string into the text box.
If you are using multiple sectors, you may wish to match the
data in one sector to the data in another sector. To accomplish
this, select Match data in sector and choose the desired sector
from the drop-down list of previously trained sectors.
The Majority feature looks at all sectors that are set to majority,
takes the most popular result, and then matches the sectors to
that popular result.
The At Position feature tells the software where to start reading
data within a sector.
Take the string A1234 as an example, if you change at position
to 3 then the software will only read 234.
The Global copy feature will copy the logically located sector
as compared to the original “From” and “To” sectors’ positional
relationship.
Refer to the diagram below in the “Global Copy Diagram”
section.
When checking sequential data, you must select Ascending or
Descending.
• If the numbers are incrementing by a different amount, you
can select the amount to increment in the Step list box.
• If the sequence is a combination of alpha and numeric, then
select the Base numbering system.
When selected, this feature allows a “Match this text” string to
be entered by the operator at the time of starting a run, allowing
the “Match To” text to be changed without allowing job editing to
that operator’s permissions.
When this option is selected the system will prompt at run time
for the “Match to” string. Enter the string in the available text
field. Note that each sector is labeled accordingly.
This feature compares the data decoded within a sector to the
data on a file created by the user. Options include:
• Duplicates allowed – The system allows for repeated data
within the same sector and/or file.
• Unique per sector – The system does not allow any
repeated data within the same sector and/or column within
a file.
• Unique per job – The system does not allow any repeated
data within the same sector and/or file.
See the Match to File section below for additional details about
this feature.
Click Enter Location to select the location of the file being
matched.

Match to File
This feature compares the data decoded within a sector to the data on a file created by the user. Note that the
format of the file must be a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
Any number of sectors can be set to use “match to file”. If all “Match to file” sectors are marked as “Duplicates
allowed”, the system will not be able to relocate within the data file if stopped during a run. This means the LVS7510 External System is not able to automatically find its place within a run on a job if stopped and restarted. If
this occurs, you must access your file and make the first number in the file be the first expected number in the
camera’s field of view after pressing the run button. The associated hash files within the job heading must be
deleted so they can be recompiled at run time.
IMPORTANT: The “Match to file” feature has associated processing overhead; thus, it is
recommended to review all your options and use the “Match to file” feature as a last resort.
You must create the file to “Match To” on a per job basis. Tools are not provided in the LVS-7510 External
System software to accomplish this.
The format of the file must be as follows:
•
The format of the file must be a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
•
The order in which the data is stored is matched to the sector number in lowest to highest order that has
been selected to “Match to file”.
•
Headers are not allowed.
Example 1:
In the sample below, the LVS-7510 External System would expect to have two sectors per repeat that are
“Matching to File”. The file would show that it expects only 11 repeats of the label. Neither sector is expected to
have duplicates. Due to the processing overhead of “Matching to File”, the second sector could be set to perform
a sequential check instead of “Matching to File”.

Example 2:
In this sample, the LVS-7510 External System would expect to have two sectors per label repeat that are
“Matching to File”. As with the above sector, only 11 repeats of the label are expected; however, this sector has
duplicates. The LVS-7510 External System has processing penalties for “Matching to File”. Thus, with this
example, it would be more cost effective to match only the first sector to a file, as the second sector can be set to
a fixed match string without the extra processing required.

When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system reads all sectors within the image and compares to the
associated sector data in the data file. Any sectors that match are a
Good Read. The system logs to the report the data read from each
sector with no error codes attached.
This output is used as a special output that is sent at a fixed distance
beyond the located error. It is used for machines that have accurate
error placement capabilities.
This output is used most commonly for the yellow light. It is triggered in
conjunction with !QU (quality errors). When something fall into the
quality warning zone this output is activated.
This is a blemish error. The background is defined in the blemish sector
setup. This means it is in the background portion of the sector.
Die Cut checks the print as compared to the outside edge of the label to
track how much it moves.
!DU appears when the character string has been read before in the job
that you are running. The Check for Duplicates option in the Matching
screen will enable this error.
This is a blemish error. The foreground (!FG) is defined in the blemish
sector setup. This means it is in the foreground portion of the sector.
When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system does not read any of the sectors within that image. The
system does not continue to increment the next expected record within
the data file. The system logs to the report the !GP error code to the
associated data.
Matrix searches the areas between labels for unstripped waste.
When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system reads all sectors within the image and compares to the
associated Job/Sector data in the data file. One or more sectors do not
match to what the Job/Sector settings dictate that it should be. The
system logs to the report the data read from each sector attaching the
MM! error code to the associated sector's data.
Mismatch only applies when comparing the data to a match source. If
running a Sequential type match, then a Mismatch error will be reported
as a Sequence error.
The incoming data is not being assessed due to a separate error.

When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system reads all sectors within the image. The system compares to
the associated Job/Sector settings in the data file. If one or more
characters/barcodes within a sector are found to be outside the predetermined acceptable quality threshold, then the repeat is marked as
an error and displayed in red in the log file. The actual score is
appended to the end of the read data.
The associated data file is loaded the system then reads the first and
last record in the sequential data file. The system stores these values.
When the system is triggered the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system reads all sectors within the image. The system compares to
the associated record in the data file. Not only did the record not match
the data file, but it was also out of the range of numbers that the data file
contains. The system logs to the report the data read from each sector
attaching the !RG error code to the associated sector's data.
On 1D barcode sectors only, a MOD 10 check digit algorithm can be
activated. The MOD 10 algorithm uses a simple checksum formula to
validate numbers encoded in a variety of 1D barcode symbologies.
MOD 10 is intended to protect against mistyping errors and scanning
errors.
When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system reads all sectors within the image. The system compares to
the associated Job/Sector in the data file. One or more sectors are
found to be out of numerical sequence as compared to the associated
record in the data file. The system logs to the report the data read from
each sector attaching the !SQ error code to the associated sector's data.
Sequence only applies when comparing the data to a known sequence
of numbers. If running a Mismatch type match, then an error
in Sequence will be reported as a Mismatch error.
When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label.
The system reads all sectors within the image. The system compares to
the associated Job/Sector data in the data file. One or more sectors do
not match to the specified length of the character string that the
Job/Sector settings dictate that it should be. The system logs to the
report the data read from each sector attaching the !WL error code to
the associated sector's data.

Common Causes for Error Conditions
Error Condition
Possible Cause
Mismatch
The data read did not match to what was expected to be read. This can be
caused by poor quality of print causing the system to identify one or more
characters as good quality, yet still incorrect. It could also be caused by a
character being gone. Either not printed, or somehow has gone outside
the sector borders within the image.
No Read
The data within a sector was not read at all. This can be caused by missing
print, poor contrast of print, or the expected data was outside of the sector
borders within the image.
Quality
The character(s) within a string do not qualify to the standard entered into
the OCV Threshold, or the barcode grade is not above the minimal passing
score allowed. This can be caused by missing character portions, bad line
definition of characters, or stretched/skewed characters, or any of the
ISO/ANSI barcode grading parameters being below the acceptable level
entered in the “PASS if ACTUAL >=” sector setting parameters.
Sequence
The data does not match to the previous number +/- one. This is most often
caused be a miscommunication that causes one or more numbers within a
sequence to be skipped or repeated, an unconnected RS-232 cable, or user
error on starting number.
Range
The read number is larger or smaller than the file covers. This is usually
caused by the incorrect data file being loaded to compare to.
GAP
No data was discernible in any sector. Most common causes are blank media
coming through the line, or an erroneous triggering mechanism.
Wrong Length
For barcode reading the code has too many/few characters encoded. This
could be from the incorrect code being printed, or the trained in length for the
job was incorrectly set. For OCR/OCV characters the same conditions apply,
with the addition of the possibility of characters being broken or touching. If a
broken character is seen then one character will become two. If two
characters are touching they will become one combined character. Also be
sure that no characters are touching the sector box. The system will ignore
any characters that touch the sector box.
Not Assessed
Rewinder/Printer is going faster than what the Camera and PC can handle.
LinesperInch or Camera MaxSpeed may be incorrectly set in the “Settings”
menu (these settings must be changed by an Microscan representative only).
Duplicate
Character string has previously been seen in this job.

The Global Copy feature allows you to replicate the setting changes in the same sector across all labels. Global
copy works with Automatic or Manual setup.
Location of Global Copy button
The “Global Copy” button is visible on the following screens:
•
When using the Blemish sector type, the Global copy button is visible on the “Step 4: Define Sector Type”
screen (see below).
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
•
For all sector types other than Blemish, the Global copy button is visible on the “Step 5: Setup Matching”
screen (see below).
Global Copy Requirements
The Global copy button appears only if:
•
There is more than one label per repeat.
•
There are at least two sectors.
•
There is at least one pair of comparable sectors (same sectors in different lanes)
•
The user is on the final step of setting up the sector type.
To define comparable sectors (the same sectors in different lanes), the sectors must:
•
Have the same sector type (such as Barcode Read, etc)
•
Have the same width (within 20 pixels)
•
Have the same height (within 20 pixels)
•
Have the same distance from the top of the label (within 20 pixels).
Note: A simple solution to meet the above requirements is to copy and paste the first sector to
the second sector. See the “Copy an Entire Sector” section (within the “Step 3: Create Sectors”
section) for steps on copying sectors.

1. Create a sector in the left-most lane.
2. Click the Global Copy button.
3. A new sector is created with matching parameters of the first sector.
The LVS-7510 External System only creates the number of labels defined in the “Labels per repeat” field on the
“Step 1: Set label repeat” screen (see below).
Use Global Copy to Edit Sectors
The example below displays three blemish sectors (1, 2 and 3). The Global copy feature allows you to make the
same change to all three sectors without making the changes to each sector individually,
If making a change to a sector in the first
label, the same sector in the other two
labels will automatically be updated.

Description
This gives the operator how many rows per second are being analyzed, as well
as how many inches per second the printer is traveling. This calculation is based
upon the Label Repeat data entered in Step 1.
There are two conditions being counted: All “passed” sectors and all “failed”
sectors. These two conditions are totaled at the bottom of this column.
Shows a percentage of the Camera Speed. A warning message will pop-up if the
speed is too high.
Shows the CPU Usage. A warning message appears if the CPU usage is too
high.
The Die Cut is tracked for movement from the original position; this is in the green
center. Movement is visually depicted by the moving black dot away from dead
center. Movement in the yellow is ok as it is inside the set allowable movement.
Movement out to the red zone will cause a !DC (Die Cut) error.
On the Alarm matrix, there is a “hold” function if/when an error occurs; this is
indicated by the term “Hold” appearing in the “Dwell” column on the Alarm matrix.
The Reset Alarms button releases the error condition and is visible only when
the “Hold” function is activated in the Alarm matrix.

Preventive Maintenance
SENSOR INSTRUCTIONS
Weekly cleaning of the sensor is recommended to maintain optimum performance. To maintain a clean
and clear appearance, spray a soft, lint-free, non-abrasive towel or cloth with a commercially available
household glass cleaner, such as Windex®, Glassex®, VISS®, and Mr. Muscle® and gently clean the
outside of the sensor glass.
DO NOT directly spray the sensor glass with glass cleaner; always spray a towel or cloth with
glass cleaner and then gently wipe the sensor glass.
DO NOT use an industrial-strength glass cleaner.
RUBBER ROLLER INSTRUCTIONS
The rubber roller may need cleaning periodically, as it is important to keep the roller free of debris,
adhesive buildup and other surface materials.
Locate the following supplies:
• Dishwashing liquid
•
1 cup of water
•
Lint-free cloth
WARNING: Use only dishwashing liquid to clean the rubber roller. Do not clean the
roller with alcohol, window cleaner or petroleum-based products, as this causes the
rubber to crack.
Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid into a cup of water and place a lint-free cloth into the solution until
the cloth is saturated. Ring out the cloth so that no water drips from the cloth. Wipe down the rubber
roller surface, removing any debris. As you wipe, turn the roller to clean the entire surface. Then, rinse
out the cloth and wipe down the rubber surface again to remove any dishwashing liquid from the roller.
Allow the roller to dry before using.
CALIBRATION CARD INSTRUCTIONS
Replace the Calibrated Conformance Standard Test Card every two years.

LVS-7510 Stop Motion and Light Tower Printer Interface
The purpose of the Alarm Matrix is to effectively connect to the Stop-Motion/Light Tower Unit.
Line 1 (D0) is hard wired to the GREEN Light. All sections listed under the Trigger Column that show “Line 1” will
turn on the GREEN light on the light tower.
Line 2 (D1) Is hard wired to the YELLOW light. All sections listed under the Trigger column that show “Line 2” will
turn on the YELLOW light on the light tower.
Line 3 (D2) is hard wired to the RED light. All sections listed under the Trigger columns that show “Line 3” will turn
on the RED light on the light tower. There is also a relay (K2) connected to this line and can be accessed via
connector CN6 located inside the Stop-Motion/Light Tower Unit.
The Pin outs for CN6 are as follows:
•
CN6-1 USB 5VDC source
•
CN6-2 Normally open relay contact (N.O.)
•
CN6-3 Common relay contact
•
CN6-4 Normally closed relay contact (N.C.)
• CN6-5 Signal Ground
When an active-high or active-low signal is required for an external device, jumper CN6-5 (ground) to the CN6-3
(common relay contact). Then choose to use a 5VDC signal or a 24VDC signal by placing a jumper across the 3pin X1 header located on the Stop Motion/Light Tower circuit board. One side is connected to 5VDC through a
resistor and the other side is connected to a 24VDC through a resistor.
Line 4 (D4) is the STOP MOTION signal and is hard wired to a relay (K1) All sections listed under the Trigger
columns that show “Line 4” will activate relay K1 and can be accessed via connector CN5 located inside the StopMotion/Light Tower Unit.
The Pin outs for CN5 are as follows:
•
CN5-1 USB 5VDC source
•
CN5-2 Normally open relay contact (N.O.)
•
CN5-3 Common relay contact
•
CN5-4 Normally closed relay contact (N.C.)
• CN5-5 Signal Ground
The Stop-Motion signal (Line 4) can be used to “pause” a printer when an error is detected.
The STOP MOTION signal can also be delayed by a certain distance. This allows the operator to activate an ink
jet printer or some other device on down the printing process line. Or it can make the printer or rewinder
automatically stop at their inspection/splicing table.
Note: The LVS-7510 External System does not stop the printer / rewinder. It simply gives the
operator access to normally open and normally closed contacts to work in conjunction with the
device being controlled. Every system is different. Please check with the manufacturer of the
device on specific instructions to cause the PAUSE function to work.
When an active-high or active-low signal is required for an external device, jumper CN5-5 (ground) to the CN5-3
(common relay contact). Then choose to use a 5VDC signal or a 24VDC signal by placing a jumper across the 3pin X2 header located on the Stop Motion/Light Tower circuit board. One side is connected to 5VDC through a
resistor and the other side is connected to a 24VDC through a resistor.

Appendix B: Epedigree
Systems with ePedigree enabled are using the normal LVS-7510 software with enhanced tracking features. Below
are a couple of steps that highlight the LVS-7510 ePedigree process.
1. When drawing a sector over a 2D Data Matrix code, make sure that the center of the X within the sector is
close to the center of the 2D code. This helps the software to determine the position of the barcode.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 161 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
2. Choose the Check for Duplicates option to make sure that the barcode’s encoded data is unique for this job
or the sect. When running the job, a !DU error will show up if the software finds a duplicate of the barcode.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 162 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
3. Draw an OCR sector around the human readable characters and let it match its corresponding barcode.
In this example, we have to start matching OCR at position 17 of the barcode, because the barcode is 28
characters long and the human readable characters match the last 12 characters of the barcode.

Appendix F: Operating Modes
Appendix G outlines the product detail and interface setup instructions to the LVS-7510 inspection system for
labels printed from thermal or thermal transfer printers.
The LVS-7510 software is highly configurable through settings in an integrated configuration editor. The three
primary modes of operation are: Normal, Design and Production modes. 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.
In Normal mode, there is no separation of duties. A unit in normal mode is usually intended to be used for multiple
functions, both label template design and label inspection in print production.
Design and Production mode units are separate physical systems. The primary differences between the two
modes are that jobs are created in Design mode only. New jobs are then imported and ran in Production mode
only. Highlights of each mode are listed below.

Design Mode
Overview
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 LVS7510 inspection unit, computer and client printer. The process of capturing a Golden Image is through a physical
printout of a mock production run of 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-7510 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.
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:
Sector Type
Barcode read
Barcode grade
OCR read
OCV verify
Blemish
Description
This sector type validates a 1D (linear) or 2D (two-dimensional) barcode image and
determines if the code is “readable” by a scanner. Expected data can be variable or
static.
This sector type grades a 1D or 2D barcode image according to ISO/IEC 15415/15416
standards. The passing grade is user configurable for each sector.
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-7510
using one of two options:
One option is to use a data file in a csv format that contains the variable data. This
data file and the job template are sent to the Microscan Production system at runtime.
A second option for handling variable data is to send the data over TCP/IP to the LVS7510 Production system after the job template is loaded.
For OCR guidelines, read the section below entitled “OCR and OCV Guidelines.”
The Optical Character Verification (OCV) sector type scores the print quality of human
readable characters within a drawn sector. The passing score is user configurable for
each sector. For OCV guidelines, read the section below entitled “OCR and OCV
Guidelines.”
This sector type 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.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 180 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
OCR and OCV Guidelines:
• Characters must not touch or overlap
• All uppercase letters in any font are allowed
• Lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and some
special characters are allowed in OCR-B MT font (6 to
14 points). Shown to the right are the letters, numbers,
and special characters supported by OCR-B MT font
(6 to 14 points)
• Monospaced fonts, like OCR-B, are preferred and
perform better in the LVS-7510
• Do not attempt to re-learn any of the supplied OCR-B
MT fonts
In Design mode, more than one job can be active and available to the operator, who will be trained in the design
and creation of the label inspection templates.
A job name is given to the job folder where the LVS-7510 will create and save all files involved in the execution of
an actual production job. After design is complete, the Designer will close out the job which zips up all files for the
job and stores the jobname.zip file in the Archived folder of the Design Mode LVS-7510 or a mapped location on
the client’s server.
Once the job folder is archived by the LVS-7510, the control and storing of that file are now in the hands of the
client’s system. It is the client’s responsibility to store that template on their server or production file location.
Version control of the template is the responsibility of the client.
In Design mode, the LVS-7510 utilizes the following job-related file folders for a specific purpose. The naming of
the folders below is based on their purpose but can be changed to suit the client. All folders can be on a mapped
network drive or local drive for each LVS-7510 system.
Jobs folder:
• In Design mode, this is where new jobs are created and designed. Multiple jobs under development are
allowed
• A new job is initiated by creating a new folder with the new job name in the Jobs folder
Archived jobs:
• In Design mode, jobs that are complete and closed out are zipped up and removed from the Jobs folder
to the Archived jobs folder (stored as a template on server). The jobname.zip file is ready for execution in
Production mode or recall back into Design mode for changes and/or updates
In Design mode, the label verification template is created as a separate process in a pre-press or off-line
environment. During the design process, 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.
Important: The functionality of Design and Production modes is based on using a match-to file
which compares the data decoded within a sector to the data in a user-created file. The match-to
file must contain a unique record each row (such as 001, 002, 003). A unique record is data that
can be used only once in the file; it cannot appear in any other row or column in the file. Refer to
the “Match-to File” section in this appendix for the match-to file requirements.

Production Mode
Overview
In Production mode, the LVS-7510 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 and we consider those systems to be fully automated. While other printers that do not
have this overstrike feature are paused by the LVS-7510 for the operator to take action to remove and destroy a
failing label. The LVS-7510 software can be configured to accommodate the level of user interaction desired by a
customer.
Production mode systems are designed for easy production 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 your server to our local production systems to a fully controlled client created HMI
running and controlling the LVS-7510. Microscan has options for most clients’ needs.
In Production mode, the LVS-7510 utilizes the following folders:
•
Import jobs – ACTIVE FOLDER
In Production mode, new jobs waiting to be worked on are dropped into the Import folder. Only one job can
reside in the Import folder. After a job is completed, the LVS-7510 will clear the system and archive any
reference (Inspection/ Run) data.
•
Output job reports
In Production mode when a job is completed and closed out, the output reporting and summary files are
written to this folder path.
•
Archived jobs
Jobs that are complete and closed out are zipped up and moved from the Jobs folder to the Archive folder.
This folder can be located on a network drive or local folder.
Important: The functionality of Design and Production modes is based on using a match-to file which compares
the data decoded within a sector to the data in a user-created file. The match-to file must contain a unique record
each row (such as 001, 002, 003). A unique record is data that can be used only once in the file; it cannot appear
in any other row or column in the file. Refer to the “Match-to File” section in this appendix for the match-to file
requirements.

clear the job, and then import a new job; the “START new run” button will then appear.
2. Make sure the printer is turned on. The labels begin printing and are visible on the screen as they are
inspected.

Stop a Run
To stop a run, click the “Stop” button. When prompted, enter your Operator ID and Password. A “Stopping”
message appears indicating the software is stopping.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT STOPPING A RUN
When the “Stop” button is clicked, the LVS-7510 does not stop the run immediately. Instead, a configurable delay
timer starts when the “Stop” button is clicked.
Note: The 7-second delay is the default setting. You can change the delay setting in the “Settings” menu >
[Printronix] section > “StopTimeout” setting. The default value is StopTimeout=7000 (entered in milliseconds). For
example, 7000 milliseconds is equal to 7 seconds. Enter the desired value in milliseconds.
During the delay timer, the operator cannot perform any action in the LVS-7510 software; the operator must wait
until the timer expires before the LVS-7510 software will accept commands.
If the inspection results of a label printing during the delay timer arrive before the delay timer expires, then the
delay timer expires when the inspection results arrive:
•
If the label printing when the “Stop” button was clicked passes inspection, printing stops and the “Printing
Stopped” message appears. The operator must clear the printer’s buffer on the printer’s console and send
the print job again to continue the job.
The text appearing in the “Printing Stopped” message can be edited in the “StopPass.txt” file. See the
section below entitled “Customizing the Printing Stopped Error Message” for instructions.
•
If the label printing when the “Stop” button was clicked fails inspection, printing stops, the printer will not
back up and overstrike the failed label, and the message below appears. The last label printed will count
as a reprint but will not be automatically voided from the printer. The label must be manually destroyed by
the operator and the operator must clear the printer’s buffer on the printer’s console.
•
Any inspection results arriving after the delay timer expires are not captured or logged by the LVS-7510.
This means the delay timer must be sufficiently long as to allow the current label printing to complete
before the delay timer expires or that label's inspection results are lost. For example, a 9-inch long label
printing at 1 ips will take 9 seconds to print from start to finish. A 7-second delay timer that began at the
start of the label printing will expire before the label printing is complete. Inspection begins after the label
finished printing; therefore, the Stop command is executed before the label finished printing and the
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 211 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
inspection results will not exist. The StopTimeout setting should be adjusted to 10 – 12 seconds in this
example.
Customizing the “Printing Stopped” Error Message
To change the text appearing in the “Printing Stopped” error message, follow the steps below. Windows
Administrator access is required.
1. Shut down the LVS-7510 software
2. Open Windows Explorer and access the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Label Vision Systems\LVS 7500
3. Copy the “StopPass.txt” file to your desktop (or another preferred location).
4. Open the file in Notepad or another text editor program and make your editing changes. When changes
are complete, save and then close the file.
5. Copy the “StopPass.txt” file back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Label Vision Systems\LVS 7500.
6. Restart the LVS-7510 software for the error message changes to appear.

Continue a Job
1. To continue a job, click the “Continue last run” button. When prompted, enter your Operator ID and Password.
2. The following message appears indicating which label you should begin the job continuation. Click “OK.”
Note: The label numbers in the message below appear only if using a match-to file that contains a unique
record in each row. If a match-to file without a unique record in each row is not being used, the last label
printed and next label printed will not appear in the message. Refer to the “Match-to File” section in this
appendix for more information on the match-to file.
3. The labels begin printing and are visible on the screen as they are inspected.

Replace a Label
Labels that pass inspection but are damaged in the application process may need to be replaced. The
“Replacement” button allows an operator to replace a label(s). The “Replacement” button appears after the run is
finished, all labels are printed to completion, and the Match-to file results have been accounted for in the
“_SUMMARY_1.csv” file (a file that summarizes the run results, such as the total number of good
labels printed, the total number of reprinted labels, the total number of replaced labels, and the job number). If the
run has no associated match-to file, the “Replacement” button will not appear. See the “Match-to File” section in
this appendix for more information on the match-to file.
Only operators who are granted the “Allow Accept/Replace Errors” permission are allowed to replace a label. To
replace a label, follow the steps below.
1. Click the “Replacement” button on the “Ready to run” screen (see “A” below).

Close Out a Job
Click the “Closeout and clear job” button to close out and clear a job. If prompted, enter your Operator ID and
Password.
In Design mode, the Designer will close out the job and this process zips up all files for the job, removes the folder
containing the job, and stores the jobname.zip file in the Archived folder of the Design Mode LVS-7510 or a
mapped location on the client’s server. The job can later be retrieved from archive and reactivated if necessary. In
addition, mock run data is deleted and only job template setup files remain for archive.
In Production mode, when a job is completed and closed out, the job is zipped up and moved from the “Jobs”
folder to the “Archive” folder. These folders can be located on a network drive or local folder. The Output
Summary Files are written to the “Output” folder path. Output Summary Files are created only when a Production
mode job is closed out and after the match-to file has been processed. If a match-to file is not being used, Output
Summary Files will not be created. Refer to the “Output Summary Files” section in this appendix for detailed
information on Output Summary Files. Refer to the “Match-to File” section in this appendix for match-to file
formatting requirements.

Output Summary Files
When a Production mode job is closed out, the LVS-7510 creates a set of Output Summary Files and writes these
files to user specified folders (see the “Settings” section in this document) that can be on the local machine or a
shared network folder for the unit.
Important: Output Summary Files are created only after the match-to file has been processed. The match-to file
feature compares the data decoded within a sector to the data in a file created by the user. If a match-to file is not
being used, then Output Summary Files will not be created. Refer to the “Match-to File” section in this appendix
for match-to file formatting requirements.
The five Output Summary Files are created in the Output path defined in each LVS-7510 configuration settings.
The job name is the prefix on all files. The files can be stored on a central location file share or network mapped
location.
1. jobname_SUMMARYREPORT_1.htm – The Summary Report in .htm format.
2. jobname_SUMMARY_1.csv – A .csv file that summarizes the run results, such as the total number of good
labels printed, the total number of reprinted labels, the total number of replaced labels, and the user supplied
job number.
3. jobname_REPLACEMENT_1.csv – A .csv file that includes the repeat, time, and distance for replacement
labels printed in the previous job run. The file is empty if no replacement labels are printed.
4. jobname_PRODUCTION_1.csv – A comma separated value (.csv) file that includes the repeat, time,
distance, and inspection data results for each sector.
5. jobname_AUDITTRAIL_1.txt – A text file that includes all audit history for the job.
Examples of each of the Output Summary Files are provided on the next page.

Match-to File
This feature compares the data decoded within a sector to the data in a file created by the user. The format of the
file must be as follows:
•
The format of the file must be a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
•
The order in which the data is stored is matched to the sector number in lowest to highest order that has been
selected to “Match to file.”
•
The file must contain a unique record each row (such as 001, 002, 003). A unique record is data that can be
used only once in the file; it cannot appear in any other row or column in the file. The software uses the
unique record to determine where to start, continue or stop a job. The unique record must be the first column
in the match-to file. All other columns should be set to “Duplicates allowed.”
•
The unique record must match to a barcode, preferably a 2D barcode because 2D barcodes have a better
resiliency for error detection. If a 2D barcode cannot be used, the next preferred code is a linear (1D)
barcode. If a 1D barcode cannot be used, the next preferred code is an OCR or OCV code.
•
Headers are not allowed.
•
The match-to file can have more columns of data than are mapped to sectors. Extra columns must appear
after mapped columns.
Any number of sectors can be set to use “match to file.” The following shows an LVS-7510 in design mode, editing a
job to create inspection sectors. Three sectors are defined numbered 1, 2 and 3.
The image to the right is an example data file showing three columns
of csv data corresponding to the three sectors. Sector 1 would be
defined as being unique for the job allowing the LVS-7510 to
determine when a job was completed.

Error Messages
Printing Stopped Error Message
As the LVS-7510 is validating labels, a failed label will be overstruck and reprinted. If the label fails a second
time, the label will be overstruck and reprinted again. After three consecutive errors of the same type are detected
(except Foreground and Background errors), the printer stops printing labels and the “Printing Stopped” message
appears.
“Printing Stopped” error message
Note: The text appearing in the “Printing Stopped” message can be edited in the “BeforeAbort.txt” file. See the
section entitled “Customizing Error Messages” for instructions.
Options include:
•
Abort – Stops running the job. After clicking this button, Production mode users are prompted to login.
After logging in, the “Manual Intervention Required” message appears (see below). The user must be
granted the “Allow Abort” permission to allow the LVS-7510 to stop running the job.
“Manual Intervention Required” message
Note: The text appearing in the “Manual Intervention Required” message can be edited in the
“AfterAbort.txt” file. See the section entitled “Customizing Error Messages” for instructions.
Important: After aborting a print job, there may be print data remaining in the printer’s memory buffer. If
granted the “Allow Reset Printer” permission, a user can reset the printer to accept new print data. For
detailed instructions, refer to the “Reset the Printer” section further in this document.
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
Page 233 of 237
LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.1.0
•
Ignore – Ignores the failed label and continues printing the next label in the job. After clicking this button,
Production mode users are prompted to login. The user must be granted the “Allow Ignore” permission to
allow the LVS-7510 to ignore the failed label and continue printing the next label in the job.
•
Retry – Voids the label and reprints the label. If the label fails, the “Printing Stopped” message appears.
There is no user permission associated with the “Retry” option.
Foreground and Background Errors
The three consecutive errors works differently for Foreground and Background errors. When a Foreground and
Background error occur on the same label, a single counter is set by the larger of the two errors. Whichever of the
Foreground or Background errors for that label repeat is larger will set/index the counter. This means that if there
are both a Foreground and a Background error(s) on the same label, the bigger error (Foreground or Background)
sets/indexes the counter. All errors are recorded but only the largest Foreground or Background error affects the
counter. The result is three Foreground errors are allowed (i.e. will not stop the process) if a Background error
accompanies any of the Foreground errors and the Background error is larger than the corresponding label’s
Foreground error. Additionally, three Background errors are allowed (i.e. will not stop the process) if a Foreground
error accompanies any of the Background errors and the Foreground error is larger than the corresponding label’s
Background error.
Customizing the “Printing Stopped” and “Manual Intervention Required” Error
Messages
To change the text appearing in the “Printing Stopped” and “Manual Intervention Required” error messages, follow
the steps below. Windows Administrator access is required.
1. Open Windows Explorer and access the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Label Vision Systems\LVS 7500
2. Copy the file(s) “AfterAbort.txt” or “BeforeAbort.txt” to your desktop (or another preferred location).

Reset the Printer
Sometimes the printer will stop printing for no apparent reason (like after aborting a print job) and there may be
print data remaining in the printer’s memory buffer. To reset the printer back to a state where it is ready to accept
new print data, follow the steps below. A user must be granted the “Allow Reset Printer” permission to reset the
printer.
1. Using the Printronix printer’s console buttons, take the printer offline, clear the printer’s buffer, and place the
printer back online.
2. The LVS-7510 software must be at the “Ready to run” screen (refer to the “Ready to Run Screen” section in
this appendix for more information).
3. Hold down the [Alt] keyboard button and click the “Print Job” button in the top, right corner of the “Ready to
run” screen.
4. Enter your login credentials. The “Confirm Reset Printer” message appears.
5. Click the “OK” button. The printer will reset and form feed a few label.
