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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 7 of 210

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 1/72

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 1/72

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

Number Validation

Modes of Operation

The LVS-7510 Integrated System software has two modes of operation: 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.

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 14 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 15 of 210

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.”

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.

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 41 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 42 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 43 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 44 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 45 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 46 of 210

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.

Sector Type 3: OCR Read

This sector type is used to “read” the human readable characters located within the drawn sector.

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

Steps:

1. Select OCR (read).

2. Select the desired direction.

3. Follow the steps below:

a. Select the desired font by choosing one of the options below:

 To choose a specific font, click the Select font button and select the desired font.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 53 of 210

 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.

 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

Scoring Box

The OCV Scoring box allows you to choose an acceptable score ranging from 0 to 99.

Warning Indicates an early warning of diminishing print quality.

The operator must take action to improve the grade score

quality.

Passing 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.

Actual 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.

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 63 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 64 of 210

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. The user must enter an administrator user name

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

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 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.

Prompt When Run is

Started

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.

Report Label 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.

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

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.

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:

Line 1 Connected to the green light indicating a “good read.” It is not connected to a relay

Line 2 Connected to the yellow light. It is not connected to a relay

Line 3 Connected to the red light and a relay

Line 4 Connected to the Stop Motion relay

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 76 of 210

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 77 of 210

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 pre-

determined 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.

!CD 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.

!SQ 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.

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 78 of 210

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

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).

Global copy button when using the Blemish sector type.

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 82 of 210

 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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 83 of 210

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.

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 Setting Format Functionality

AutoExecuteStatus On or Off Reports the current runtime status of the

AutoExecute functionality.

Path String Specifies the folder location that will be

monitored

StartRunOnceImported On or Off Determines if the job will be

automatically started once it is imported

UseAutoExecute On or Off 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.

Design and Production Mode: Running

The Design and Production mode Running functionality (running the job) are the same for Design and

Production modes. 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 Description

Web Speed 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.

Counters There are two conditions being counted: All “passed” sectors and all “failed”

sectors. These two conditions are totaled at the bottom of this column.

Camera Shows a percentage of the Camera Speed. A warning message will appear and

Stop Motion trigger if the speed is too high.

CPU Shows the CPU Usage. A warning message appears if the CPU usage is too high.

CPU overrun can cause Not Assessed !NA errors.

Reset Alarms 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.

Stop Press the Stop button to stop the inspection.

Error Display 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.

Field Description

Full Web Image The image at the bottom of the Running Screen is the entire field of view and will

update up to 10 images per second as the printer is running.

Live Reports Log A log will appear overlaid onto the Running Screen when the operator clicks inside

a sector or on the sector number in the histogram. This log represents what the

software sees inside this sector.

 A green box indicates a good read.

 A red box indicates an error condition has occurred.

 A yellow box indicates a good read below the warning threshold.

This log can be moved to any position on the Running Screen by left click and hold

at the very top of the log screen. To get a freeze frame of this box click on any

other non-sector part of the full web image. This will cause the box to stop

updating. To resume the update, just click in the desired sector. Close by clicking

the red X (Close) box in the top right corner.

Histograms At the top of the Running Screen is a section for displaying a histogram for every

error condition the software is trained to analyze. It is color coded.

 Green is “good’

 Red is “bad”

 Yellow is “good” but below the warning threshold

Each sector “Type” will have its own graph. All sectors of a given type will be

displayed within the graph designated for that “Type”.

Reports / QC File Viewer

The Reports Screen is used to view the report logs created for each job.

Each line of data starts with the run number followed by a date/time stamp, decoded string, error code (if

any), and other data associated with the image being inspected. For a full list of error codes, see: Step 6:

Alarm Matrix  Error Code Definitions on page 76.

The report type is displayed in the column header (such as Errors only, 1D grade details, etc.). To view a

particular report, click on the desired run located under the corresponding header.

The “Run log” column allows you to view data for all sectors for that particular run. All ANSI/ISO parameters

are reported under 1D, 2D grade details.

The data is stored in a .csv (comma separated values) format. This format is a text file where fields are

delimited by commas and records are delimited by a <CR><LF> pair. By default these files are stored in the

following directories:

 For installations of software version 20.2.X on Windows® 7 Professional and Windows® 8.1

Professional operating systems: C:\LvsData\LVS 7500\Production\Jobs

 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

7500. Then, install software release 20.2.X as a new installation.

The operator may choose to print a report for an entire run or print a report of errors only.

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 20.2.X

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

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 151 of 210

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: Managing Operator Permissions in

Microsoft® Active Directory

Overview

The LVS-7510 software integrates with Microsoft Active Directory to manage operator permissions. LVS-

7510 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.

Active Directory User Permissions

When Microsoft

Active Directory (AD) is enabled the LVS-7510 user permissions are managed in AD. 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.

TCP/IP Commands Protocol

The TCP/IP Commands sent to an LVS-7510 have the following format:

Where:

 <Binary Command Byte ID#> is the unique command ID associated with the desired operation. Refer

to the following sections for the binary command byte IDs for each support LVS-7510 command. The

commands are sent as binary bytes not ASCII. An example of a binary command to import a job would

be a byte value 0x16 hex. The production command to import a job is: 0x16 “Jobname0221.”

 <ASCII String> consists of command-specific data, if applicable. An example of command-specific data

in the previous example would be the job name. The text string “Jobname0221” is the job name and

would be loaded if it existed in the Import folder.

The response from the LVS-7510 system will have the following format if the operation is successful:

Where <Binary Command Byte ID#> will be identical to the command ID that the LVS-7510 received. For

example, if the command to import a job named “Jobname0221” was sent.

0x16 “Jobname0221”

If the job was successfully imported the response from the LVS-7510 would be the command byte that was

sent: 0x16

The response from the LVS-7510 will have the following format if the operation fails:

<Binary Command Byte ID#> will be identical to the command ID that the LVS-7510 received.

<ASCII String> is an ASCII string describing the error. If the job name did not exist in the Import folder, the

response from the LVS-7510 would be:

0x16 ERROR: Job not found in import folder

TCP/IP Output Data Protocol

Output data from the LVS-7510 is broadcast upon the occurrence of an event, such as an error in a sector

inspection. 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:

<Binary Command Byte ID#> is the unique command ID associated with the particular data contained in

the output – and – <ASCII String> 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 <Binary Command Byte ID#> is equal to a binary 7 (0x07 hex), and the

<ASCII String> is given below. The data output format is then:

<0x07 hex><ASCII String>

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 <Binary Command Byte ID#> is equal to a binary 8 (0x08 hex), and the

<ASCII String> is given below. The data output format is then:

<0x08 hex><ASCII String>

Where the comma separated ASCII String =

<RepeatNumber>,<Timestamp>,<Distance>,<Sector 1 ResultData>,<Sector 1 ResultData>, ….. , <Sector

X ResultData>

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 188 of 210

For the “Reset Available” command, the <Binary Command Byte ID#> 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 <Binary Command Byte ID#> is equal to a binary 31 (0x1f hex). The data

output format is then:

<0x1f hex><ASCII String>

Where the ASCII String is:

alSectorCount>|<LaberRepeatCount>|<DisplayColor>

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

LVS-7510 Integrated System Operations Manual Version 20.2.X Page 190 of 210

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.”

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.
