The LVS-7510 Integrated System supports Windows® 7 Professional, Windows® 8.1 Professional, and Windows® 10 Professional. LVS-7510 includes technologies covered under United States Patent # 8,939,368 B2. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 5 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Introduction Software Modules The LVS-7510 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. A check is made for presence of a GS1 FNC1 character at the beginning of a GS1 type bar code. 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 “real-time” 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 speeds up to 10 ips. Note: The LVS-7510 uses red light (660 nm) to detect blemishes; thus, color blemishes in the red spectrum may not be properly detected. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 6 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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 at font sizes as low as six points (one point is defined as approximately 1/72nd of an inch or .35 mm). 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 LVS-7510 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 font sizes as low as six 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 file. 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 OCR-B font set 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.

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. Design and Production mode units are usually separate physical systems; however, it is possible to configure one LVS-7510 system to operate in both modes and switch between Design and Production modes when needed. The LVS-7510 is purchased as a Dual mode system. The software license codes are to remain with the system hardware and are not transferable. The primary differences between the two modes are that templates are created in Design mode only. Templates are then promoted to production and become jobs. Production mode is used to execute the promoted jobs. Highlights of each mode are listed below. After user login, the Welcome screen displays the appropriate option buttons depending on the user’s permissions and licensed modes of operation. The screen below shows a dual mode system that has specific radio button controls to switch between Design and Production modes. The ability to switch between modes is restricted to users who are assigned administrator permissions.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 12 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Example LVS-7510 Design and Production Mode Configuration LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 13 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Design Mode The Design mode 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 interaction as possible. Design mode is intended to eliminate the set-up process on the production line. The Design mode system is a complete system that includes the LVS-7510 inspection unit, computer and client printer. The system can be setup anywhere on the client’s network allowing multiple designers to share template designs. 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. If the optional PDF compare feature is enabled, the Design operator can compare the golden image against an approved PDF using the supplied PDF comparison software. The comparison process is as simple as loading an approved PDF from a folder location on the network and clicking “Play” from within the template Design mode. 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 any discrepancies are found, the operator simply reprints a new image on the LVS-7510 and runs the comparison again. In Design mode, more than one template can be active and available to the operator, who is trained in the design and creation of the label inspection templates. A new template is created by clicking the “Create a new template” button. A message box appears requesting the new template name to be created. The template name is given to the folder where the LVS-7510 will create and save all files involved in the execution of an actual production template. After design is complete, the designer will close out the template, which zips up all files and stores them as one .zip file in the Archived folder of the Design mode LVS-7510. Archived templates can be retrieved and activated allowing designers to update, copy and reuse previous designs. In Design mode, the LVS-7510 utilizes two job-related file folders for a specific purpose. The default naming of the folders is based on their purpose, but can be changed to suit the client’s requirements. All folders can be on a mapped network drive or local drive for each LVS-7510 system. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 14 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Define Template Path Locations in Design Mode You must define where templates are located on a network drive or local folder. This section explains how to configure the LVS-7510 path locations for the following: Template folder: In Design mode, this is where new templates are created and designed. Multiple templates under development are allowed. A new template is initiated by creating a new folder with the new job name in the Jobs folder. Archived folder: In Design mode, templates that are complete and closed out are zipped up and removed from the Template folder to the Archived templates folder. The jobname.zip file is ready for execution in Production mode or recall back into Design mode for changes and/or updates. Define Location of Templates and Archive folders: IMPORTANT: You must have administrator rights to perform the steps in this section. 1. Log in to the LVS-7510 software. 2. Click “Settings” in the menu bar. 3. In “Settings for this section,” click the drop-down box and select “Paths.” 4. In the “Setting” column, double-click either “DesignTemplates” or “Design Archive.” 5. In the “Value” field, enter the path and then click “OK (save changes).” For example, by default the value \Design\Templates will store templates on the local LVS-7510 computer. For installations of software version 20.2.X on Windows® 7 Professional, Windows® 8.1 and Windows 10 Professional operating systems: C:\LvsData\LVS 7500\Design\Templates. Jobs created in earlier versions of the software are not supported. Manually backup any desired data and manually delete the C:\Users\[User Login Name]\AppData\Roaming\Label Vision Systems\LVS LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 15 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 7500 or C:\Users\[User Login Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microscan\LVS 7510.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 16 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Production Mode In Production mode, the LVS-7510 can be configured based upon the PC network implementation and level of operator interaction desired. Define Job Path Locations in Production Mode In Production mode, the LVS-7510 utilizes the following folders: Import folder In Production mode, new jobs waiting to be executed are dropped into the Import folder. When a designer executes a “Promote template to production,” the template is copied into the Production Import folder. Multiple jobs can reside in the Import folder waiting to be acted on by the production operator. This folder can be located on a network drive or local folder. Jobs folder In Production mode, the operator will select a job from the Import folder to be executed. The job is unzipped and a folder is created in the Jobs folder with the job name. Only one job can reside in the Jobs folder. To clear the active job from the Jobs folder the production operator must execute “Close out job” which zips up the job along with run related data. The executed jobname.zip file is copied into the Production Archive folder. The job is deleted from the Jobs folder to make ready for the import of a new job. For Job Auto-Execute functionality, see page 90.This folder can be located on a network drive or local folder. Output folder In Production mode, when a job is completed and closed out, the output reporting and summary file(s) are written to this folder path. This folder can be located on a network drive or local folder. Archive folder This folder contains the detailed production data for a job that includes the inspection results for each label. 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.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 39 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Step 2: Synchronize Synchronization Overview The LVS-7510’s synchronization 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 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 20.2.X Page 40 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X As you can see there are portions of this image attached to the right of the thin, red, vertical line that look similar. These portions are 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 above 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 41 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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”. 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 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 20.2.X Page 42 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Synchronization Steps Screen Overview: The top right image is the full resolution image. The slide bar to the right and below the image allows the operator to view different areas of the image. Right-click on the image to zoom in. Zoom options include 1X, 2X, 4X and 8X. The bottom image is an altered resolution image that has been shrunk in order to show the camera’s entire field of view. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 43 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Steps: 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. Note: The system cannot tell dynamic data from static data on the label. Synchronizing Automatically can lead to syncing on dynamic data which could lead to poor or inadequate syncing. 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. Blue hash marks on the side on the image in 20% and 50% display size must fall in the gaps above and below the label. 3. Click the right arrow button. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 44 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Step 3: Create Sectors A sector is defined as an area or region of interest that is to be analyzed. This step prompts the operator to establish a sector. The software will not process anything located outside the sector. An image must be present to draw a sector. Print several labels and allow them to pass under the camera to obtain an image. Once an image is acquired, the operator may stop printing and work with the still image. The above image is an example of a sector being drawn around a barcode. The image shown is in color; however, the LVS-7510 camera is a grayscale camera only. 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 shown on the display. (Note that a right mouse click does not perform this function.) 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 45 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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 4 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. Copy an Entire Sector This option is used to quickly duplicate sector settings for multiple objects of interest within the same label, or to another label in the same row across the width of the web. 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. 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 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. Tip: 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.

Additional options include: Invert (white chars on black) tells the sector to look for white characters on a dark background. PreProcess (for noise) reduces noise and background contrast variances. Dilate (for breaks) joins characters using a blurring and joining technique; it makes the characters bold and darker. This option is useful for Dot Matrix-type printing. Variable background attempts to compensate for text printed on backgrounds that have a gradient or change from one color to another. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 60 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Compare (font file to actual) displays an Actual vs. Font File image in the lower half of the screen. The image shows the font file across the top of the image and the actual characters within the sector down the left side. Differences between a font file and an actual character are highlighted in white over black in the center of the screen. Each character is matched against the font file and given a score. The character with the highest score is then used as the result. 4. Determine a score (see Scoring Box below for additional information) and then click the right arrow button. Scoring Box The OCV Scoring box allows you to choose an acceptable score ranging from 0 to 99. Warning Passing Actual Indicates an early warning of diminishing print quality. The operator must take action to improve the grade score quality. 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 61 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Sector Type 5: Blemish To use the Blemish sector type, follow the steps below. 1. Select Blemish on the Step 4: Define Sector Type screen; the following screen appears. 2. The software automatically learns the first image it sees after the first sector has been drawn. If the image is not the correct one, or you would like to put a different image into the field of view, click the Relearn button and the software will accept the next image it sees within that sector. This saved image is called the “Golden image”. The entire process of understanding blemishes is done by comparing the “Golden image” to the Job image. 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 62 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X IMPORTANT: 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 Description BG<< >>FG << Background >> Foreground 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 pixels 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 color Cyan 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 color Magenta 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. Preset Configuration Settings 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. BG<< >>FG sensitivity Foreground sensitivity Background sensitivity Foreground Size/Tolerance Background Size/Tolerance Die Cut Size Tolerance Matrix Matrix detects the roll section between labels to ensure the waste material is removed. Matrix is shown in Blue when the Display is set to Area type and is not needed for most label stock. 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 63 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Field Description 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. Spot ignore Ignore areas appear in yellow when the “Update Spot Ignore” button is used. This feature is useful for areas of the label that may have frequent deviations from the reference golden image, where deviations are less critical and the operator should be given discretion to accept the label. 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: The operator must enter an Administrator’s Operator ID and Password to continue, or the Spot ignore feature cannot be used. For more information on permissions, refer to: Welcome Screen Overview Administration Operators Manage Operator Permissions within the LVS-7510 Software. Brush Size Allows the user to change how large or small the brush stroke will be when ignoring an area. Warning 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. Largest blemish Shows the largest blemish in inches Discard this sector 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. Relearn Button The Relearn Button will re-train the Golden image with the image that is present. Tip: 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. IMPORTANT: After pressing Ctrl+L, a popup message will appear for users without administrative rights.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 69 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Step 5: Setup Matching Step 5: Setup Matching is used to set up sequential, matching or incremental information checking. This step does not apply to Blemish modules. Complete the applicable fields and then click the right arrow button. Each field description is listed in the table below. The software reverts back to STEP 3 prompting you to set up another sector if desired. If another sector is not required, click the right arrow button and proceed with the next step. Field Description Number of characters Ensure the number of characters is correct for the string length or a “Wrong Length” error will constantly be encountered. Field Mask 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. Accept everything (do not match) If sequential or matching checking is not required, click the Accept everything (do not match) option and leave all other options on this page alone. This option will be grayed out when using OCV. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 70 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Field Description Match this text To match a static (unchanging) number, select Match this text and enter the desired string into the text box. Match data in sector 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. Ascending or Descending Prompt When Run is Started 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. Data can be entered either using a qwerty keyboard or a bar code scanner with data input mapped to that field using a “keyboard wedge.” Match to File 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. Check for Duplicates Checks data for any duplicates. Options include: Unique per sector – The system does not allow any repeated data within the same sector. Unique per job – The system does not allow any repeated data within the same sector or job. Use this field to enter a report label, such as a name for the sector. The name entered in this field appears on the Summary Report and acts as a unique user-defined identifier of that particular sector. This field is not available for Blemish sectors. Report Label LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 71 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Field Global Copy Description Click the Global copy button to replicate the setting changes in the same sector across all labels. Global Copy diagram Labels BEFORE Global Copy In Label 1 below, sector 3 is matched to sector 1. In Label 2 below, there are no sectors matched to sector 2. Labels AFTER Global Copy After sector 3 is copied to Label 2, sector 4 is created and matched to sector 2, which is the logically located sector as compared to the “From” and “To” sectors’ relationship in Label 1. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 72 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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 LVS-7510 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. Note: You must create the file to “Match To” on a per job basis. Tools are not provided in the LVS-7510 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 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”. 01111110, 11111110 01111117, 11111111 01111120, 11111112 01111142, 11111113 01111137, 11111114 01111101, 11111115 01111129, 11111116 01111138, 11111117 01111199, 11111118 01111172, 11111119 01111122, 11111120 Example 2: In this sample, the LVS-7510 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, the second sector has duplicates. The LVS-7510 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. 01111110, 11111110 01111117, 11111110 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 73 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 01111120, 11111110 01111142, 11111110 01111137, 11111110 01111101, 11111110 01111129, 11111110 01111138, 11111110 01111199, 11111110 01111172, 11111110 01111122, 11111110 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 74 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Step 6: Alarm Matrix The Alarm Matrix displays error-specific I/O information. After all sectors have been established, you are prompted to determine an error condition. Depending on the supplied hardware, the following relay outputs can be triggered by any of the listed error conditions: Connected to the green light indicating a “good read.” It is not connected to a relay Connected to the yellow light. It is not connected to a relay Connected to the red light and a relay Connected to the Stop Motion relay Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 The 5 columns on this screen are listed below: Column Description Condition Lists the various error conditions that the system can detect. Code Lists the abbreviation of the error conditions detected by the system and used throughout the final reports. See the section below entitled “Error Code Definitions” for more information. Trigger Lists any of the four Input/Output lines. Any listed error condition can be trained to activate any I/O line by clicking on the appropriate row box; this will change the path to another line. You can also choose “None”. Dwell Lists the duration of the output signal. You can choose from “10 ms” to “hold”. Stop Motion States when to activate the “Stop Motion” error condition. You can choose to stop immediately or to not stop at all. Or, you can choose to stop after a certain number of errors occur contiguously (from 1 to 10 errors in a row). Stop Motion Delay in Inches This is a set distance that the LVS-7510 will output the stop motion signal. It has a minimum of 4” beyond where the readhead is looking. This is used for precision placement of found errors and may increase if a high processing workload is present. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 75 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Error Code Definitions With the exception of “Good Read” and “Grade Warning,” all error conditions listed below can be made to trigger the Stop Motion Relay immediately, or after a predetermined number of consecutive errors. Error Code Definition N/A Good Read 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. N/A Stop Motion This output is used as a special output that is sent at a fixed distance beyond the located error. N/A Grade Warning 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. !BG Background 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. !DC Die Cut Die Cut checks the print as compared to the outside edge of the label to track how much it moves. !DU Duplicate !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. !FG Foreground 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. !GP Gap 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. !MX Matrix Matrix searches the areas between labels for unstripped waste. MM! Mismatch 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. !F1 Missing FNC1 Checks barcode sectors for the presence of FNC1, the Unique GS1 Identifier in the first position. !NA Not Assessed The incoming data is not being assessed due to a separate error. !NS Not Synced The system has lost synchronization, and is therefore not processing any data outside of looking for a re-sync lock. It will auto log this run portion as “requested to splice” !NR No Read When the system is triggered, the camera takes a picture of the label. The system does not read/decode one or more sectors within the image. The LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 76 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Error Code Definition system compares to the associated Job/Sector data in the data file. The system logs to the report the data read from each sector attaching the !NR error code to the associated sectors' data. !QU Quality 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. !RG Range 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. Check Digit 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. Sequence 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. !CD !SQ 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. !WL Wrong Length 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 77 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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 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 Omron Microscan representative only). Duplicate Character string has previously been seen in this job.

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). Global copy button when using the Blemish sector type. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 81 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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). IMPORTANT: A simple solution to meet the above requirements is to copy and paste the first sector to the second sector. For steps on copying sectors, see section “Copy an Entire Sector” (Design Mode: Create a New Template Create a Template Using Manual Setup Step 3: Create Sectors Copy an Entire Sector). LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 82 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Use Global Copy to Add Sectors to All Labels Across the Screen: 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. Note: The LVS-7510 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.

For further instructions, see the section: “Production Mode: Ready to Run.” LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 89 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X AutoExecute Functionality LVS-7510 monitors the contents of a specified folder and, when a zipped LVS job is copied to that file location, the LVS-7510 automatically imports the job and loads it. The system also offers the option of immediately running the job once it is loaded or allowing the operator to start the job. This functionality is available only in Production mode. Configuration The user must specify the folder that will be monitored by the LVS-7510 by setting a CFG (configuration) file specifying the path of the folder on the PC. The user is also required to activate AutoExecute via a configuration setting change. Optionally, the user can configure the system to determine whether or not the LVS-7510 will automatically start the job once imported or await input from the operator. Below is a table outlining the CFG file settings for AutoExecute functionality. [AutoExecute] CFG config settings AutoExecuteStatus Setting Format Functionality On or Off Path String StartRunOnceImported On or Off UseAutoExecute On or Off Reports the current runtime status of the AutoExecute functionality. Specifies the folder location that will be monitored Determines if the job will be automatically started once it is imported Activates the AutoExecute functionality Run Time Functionality Once the CFG is set to use AutoExecute, the software runs in production mode and will monitor the contents of the specified folder, which, henceforth, is referred to as the “AutoExecute folder”. Once a zipped job is copied to the AutoExecute folder, LVS-7510 automatically unzips and imports the job, stores it in the Production Jobs folder, loads the job and deletes the zip file from the AutoExecute folder. If the setup has StartRunOnceImported activated, then LVS-7510 automatically starts a new run; otherwise, LVS-7510 remains on the ready screen until the operator starts the new run manually. The operator does not have the ability to manually load or import a job while AutoExecute mode is active. These buttons are grayed-out. There is an option on the Welcome screen to activate and deactivate the AutoExecute mode via a radio button. There is also a radio button that allows LVS-7510 to be switched from automatically running upon job import, to await instructions from the operator after the job is loaded and ready to run. Operating Considerations It is recommended that the AutoExecute folder be populated one job at a time and that the previous job be fully completed and closed out prior to another job being copied to the AutoExecute folder. This is to minimize any mistakes in the production process flow so that the correct labels are printed for the job loaded. If multiple jobs are added to the AutoExecute folder in quick succession, AutoExecute functionality imports the jobs on a first-in-first-out basis. Once the first job copied to the AutoExecute folder is closed out, the job that was copied into the AutoExecute folder second is imported. The jobs queued to the printer are sent in the same order as the LVS jobs that are stored in the AutoExecute folder. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 90 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Production Mode: Load an Existing Job 1. To load an existing job, click the “LOAD an existing job” button on the Welcome screen. In Production mode, only one active job is allowed. If there is no active job loaded, then the “LOAD an existing job button” is grayed out and disabled. 2. A list view opens showing the currently active job available for selection.

The Running screen is typically what you monitor at all times in a production environment. The features on this screen are described in the table below: Field Web Speed Counters Camera CPU Reset Alarms Stop Error Display 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 appear and Stop Motion trigger if the speed is too high. Shows the CPU Usage. A warning message appears if the CPU usage is too high. CPU overrun can cause Not Assessed !NA errors. 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. Press the Stop button to stop the inspection. This is a very helpful feature for the operator to analyze only the errors as they happen. Or, the operator may choose to study one error condition at a time. This feature is activated by clicking on the error. This causes the software to show an image of the error as superimposed thumbnail images (Blemish). The process of showing this error image can be performed while the system is in the Running condition. A series of error images are stored in the log file of each job. Thumbnails of the actual errors can be viewed “offline”. See the Error Display section below for more information.

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 20.2.X Page 149 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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 20.2.X Page 150 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 167 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Appendix F: Managing Operator Permissions in Microsoft® Active Directory Overview The LVS-7510 software integrates with Microsoft Active Directory to manage operator permissions. LVS7510 users are granted user privileges based on Microsoft authentication and LVS-7510 permissions are assigned based on group membership in Omron Microscan specific Active Directory groups. All systems using Active Directory must have a network of Microsoft® 2003 or later. Active Directory control of LVS-7510 users provides a single, secure record of authentication and authorization. Control of all Active Directory changes is managed through Active Directory Group policy and ownership located on the Microsoft Server. LVS-7510 operators can have a combination of permissions. Operator permissions are the same regardless of how the user IDs, passwords and permissions are managed. When Active Directory is enabled on each start of the LVS-7510 software, the system will connect over the network to the specified Microsoft Active Directory domain controller. The LVS-7510 will create a local Operators.dat file containing all of the LVS-7510 users and their permissions. All of the users created are in the Active Directory Group specified in the LVS-7510 configuration setting “ActiveDirectoryLVSAllUsers.” When Active Directory is enabled, user passwords, password expiration dates and failed password counts are not stored locally in the Operator.dat file. Microsoft Active Directory policies will manage user password restrictions and policies. When a user enters their user name and password into the LVS-7510, the credentials are verified with the current user name and password in the Active Directory. The Operator Administration window in the LVS-7510 can be used to view the current users and their permissions. When users are disabled or deleted from Active Directory, their access to LVS-7510 login is immediately disabled even if the LVS-7510 has not been restarted. The login for “admin” is not managed in Active Directory and remains in the local Operator.dat file. All new installations create a default administrator user with the User Name and Password set to “admin.” The “admin” user password is stored locally to allow access to the system in case of network outages. This provides the option of operating the LVS-7510 without Active Directory user authentication. With Active Directory enabled, the admin user is the only user that can be modified using the LVS-7510 Operator Administration interface. The admin user name and password can be changed and deleted if desired; however, if the admin user name is changed or deleted and the system loses connection to the Active Directory Server or Active Directory is disabled, then no user will exist that has access to enable Active Directory or manage users in a standalone mode. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 168 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Enable Active Directory 1. Log in to the LVS-7510 software.

Also, user passwords, password expiration dates, and failed password counts are managed in AD. The default administrator account (admin) is a special, unique login. It is not managed in AD and remains in the local LVS-7510 system database. All new installations create a default administrator user with the User Name and Password set to admin. The admin user password is stored in the local LVS-7510 system database to allow access to the system in case there is a network outage. This provides the option of operating the system without AD user authentication. With AD enabled, the admin user is the only user that can be modified using the LVS-7510 system Operator Administration interface. The admin user name and password can be changed and deleted if desired; however, if the admin user name is changed or deleted and the system loses connection to the Active Directory Server or Active Directory is disabled, then no user will exist who has access to enable Active Directory or manage users in a standalone mode. When AD is enabled the Operator Administration screen allows you to only view the operators and operator permissions which were created from Microsoft® Active Directory settings. Operator names, permissions and passwords cannot be changed from the LVS-7510 Operator Administration interface. 1. Select Administration Operators from the menu bar. 2. When Active Directory is enabled, the Operator Administration screen allows you to view the operators and operator permissions which were created from Active Directory settings. *Active Directory Enabled* appears at the top of the screen to let you know that Active Directory is enabled; this message does not appear when Active Directory is disabled. 3. The buttons at the bottom of the Operator Administration screen are grayed out and disabled to prevent changes to users from the LVS-7510 software. The exception is the Admin user account, it can be modified using the Operator Administration screen.

The connected system can choose to use the data as it sees fit. The TCP/IP data output from the LVS-7510 have the following general format: is the unique command ID associated with the particular data contained in the output – and – consists of command-specific data (if any). Sector Error The “Sector Error” data output occurs for each sector that fails an inspection. The repeat number, timestamp and distance are sent along with the sector ID number, the special error marker character (ASCII 161) and error code, and any other sector-specific data. The command format is: For the “Sector Error” command, the is equal to a binary 7 (0x07 hex), and the is given below. The data output format is then: <0x07 hex> Where the comma separated ASCII String = , , , , Note: There is no comma between the special error marker character (ASCII 161) and the sector results data. Log Line The “Log Line” data output occurs once for each repeat and includes all of the data stored in the run file for that repeat, including all sector inspection results. The repeat number, timestamp and distance are sent along with the inspection results for each sector starting with sector #1 and continuing through the last sector present. The special error marker character (ASCII 161) is inserted immediately prior to the sector result data for any sector that fails an inspection. The command format is: For the “Log Line” command, the is equal to a binary 8 (0x08 hex), and the is given below. The data output format is then: <0x08 hex> Where the comma separated ASCII String = , , , , , ….. , Note: If one of the sectors failed an inspection, then the special error marker character (ASCII 161) is placed immediately prior to the sector results data and there is no comma between the special error marker character (ASCII 161) and the sector results data. The special warning marker (ASCII 191) is present in lieu of the error marker in the event that an inspection triggers a warning rather than a failure. Reset Available The “Reset Available” data output occurs every time the “Reset Alarms” button becomes active. This happens when an inspection triggers an error for which the LVS-7510 is configured to output an alarm. A connected system would know that when this message is received that the Reset Alarm command may now be sent to the LVS-7510. The command format is: LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 187 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X For the “Reset Available” command, the is equal to a binary 29 (0x1d hex). The data output format is then: <0x1d hex> IP Status The “IP Status” output occurs 20 times a second while the LVS-7510 is running a job. This information is usually unnecessary to remote systems. The information included under this binary command byte ID# is the current lines per second, feet per minute, camera speed, CPU usage, pass sector counter, fail sector count, total sector count, label repeat count, and display color. Each of these items is separated by the vertical bar character “|”. The command format is: For the “IP Status” command, the is equal to a binary 31 (0x1f hex). The data output format is then: <0x1f hex> Where the ASCII String is: | | | | | | | | LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 188 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Appendix H: LVS-7510 Printronix Integrated System The information in this appendix is intended for users of the LVS-7510 Printronix Integrated system used in conjunction with the Printronix T8000r thermal barcode printer. 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 (see below). Note: The text appearing in the “Printing Stopped” message can be edited in the “BeforeAbort.txt” file. See the section further in this appendix entitled “Customizing the Printing Stopped and Manual Intervention Required 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. LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 189 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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 appendix. Ignore – Ignores the failed label and continues printing the next label in the job. After clicking this button, Production mode users are prompted to log in. 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. Printing Timeout Error The following message appears when a printing timeout has occurred: “Queue up more labels to resume printing and the message will automatically go away. Or, push the “Stop” button to stop the run.” LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 190 of 210 LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X 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. 3. Hold down the [Alt] keyboard button and click the “Print Job” button in the top, right corner of the “Ready to run” screen.
