Q4. How do I acquire the latest software updates?

1. Send an e-mail to helpdesk@microscan.com and request the latest version of

software for your system. In the e-mail, include the following:

• System Model (LVS-9510, LVS-9570, LVS-9580)

• System Serial Number (located on system)

• Current version of software that you are running (located on “Welcome”

tab)

• Windows Operating System that you are using

2. Microscan will send you a link to download the latest software. Do not plug in

your system until installation is complete. Make sure that you have administrator

privileges to download the software. Save the software to your desktop and unzip

the extract files prior to installing. You MUST install the software with

administrative rights.

3. Prior to installation, copy your i9500.mdb (the path can be found on the “Archive”

tab  “Change SQL Connection” button  Data Source). Save the file to place

back into the specified folder when complete. If you do not save off your

i9500.mdb file, you will be prompted when opening the software to perform a

factory calibration or that factory calibration is not found.

4. Double-click on “setup exe” to install the software and follow the prompts

accordingly.

5. After installation is complete, connect the USB to your LVS-95XX system.

Right-click on the LVS-95XX icon and run as an administrator.

Q5. My code is graded an “F” and the following

message appears: “Required <FNC1> not

found.” Why is it that when I switch

application standards to ISO/IEC

15415/15416, I do not receive the error

message?

<FNC1> is a special character reserved for GS1-compliant symbols when using

Code 128, QR code or Data Matrix. If “GS1 General Specifications” is selected as

the Application Standard on the “Setup” tab, and FNC1 is not encoded in the first

position of the code, the code will automatically be graded an “F” since it is not GS1

compliant. If the code is intended to be GS1 compliant, notify the originator that

ISO/IEC 15415/15416 does not require that FNC1 be present. If you are not grading

a GS1 barcode, change your Application Standard on the “Setup” tab to “ISO/IEC

15415/15416.”

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers

(*) These barcodes may only be printed using an X-dimension below 0.264 millimetre (0.0104 inch) or 80 percent

magnification under the following conditions:

 The allowance for X-dimensions between 0.249 millimetre (0.0098 inch) or 75 percent magnification and

0.264 millimetre (0.0104 inch) or 80 percent magnification is only applicable to on demand (e.g., thermal,

laser) print processes. For all other printing processes, an X-dimension of 0.264 millimetre (0.0104 inch) is

attainable and is the minimum allowable size.

 When printing a minimum symbol with any method of printing, the area provided for printing the symbol and

the required Quiet Zone should never be less than the area required for an X-dimension of 0.264 millimetre

(0.0104 inch).

 When printing a minimum symbol with any method of printing, the symbol height SHALL never be truncated

below the minimum.

(**) The minimum symbol height dimensions listed for all symbologies including EAN/UPC Symbols do not include

the Human Readable Interpretation. The minimum heights of EAN/UPC Symbols do not include the extended

bars: see Section 5.2.1.4.2 for dimensions of the extended bars. Because of the operative scanning

environment for EAN/UPC Symbols, there is a direct relationship between the symbol’s height and width. This

means the minimum symbol height listed is tied to the minimum, target, and maximum X-dimension listed.

There is no maximum for the height, but if the maximum X-dimension is used, the symbol height must be equal

to or greater than those listed in the Minimum Symbol Height column. For GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked

symbols, the table reflects the minimum symbol height for symbols that are two rows in height.

(***) In addition to the factors above related to digital printing, one other exception is permitted; For loose produce

being weighed at the Point-of-Sale (POS) using GS1 DataBar Stacked Omnidirectional minimum X-dimension

of 0.203 millimetre (0.0080 inch) is permitted but may produce scanning performance reduction. However, for

POS, this performance drop off is not noticeable when the product must be weighed at the Point-of-Sale. Even

with a slower scanning performance to conduct the transaction, the weighing process takes longer than the

scanning process. For that reason, a lower minimum X-dimension should never be used on products crossing

Point of Sale which are not weighed as loose produce during the scan event.

(****) The current symbol specification for GS1 DataBar Omni-directional (minimum height 33X) and GS1 DataBar

Stacked Omni-directional (minimum height 69X) indicate a square aspect ratio for the symbol segments. To

enhance scanning performance, in an omni-directional scanning environment, an over square aspect ratio

shall be used following the example of the EAN/UPC symbology specification and rigorous field test of the GS1

DataBar symbology (46X or 95X).

(*****) For North American Coupon Codes using GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked in 2 row and 3 row configurations

the X Dimension may be as low as 0.0080” (0.203mm) as long as a minimum overall bar height of 1.020”

(25.91mm) is maintained. X-dimensions less than 0.0100” (.254mm) might not always be feasible for all GS1

DataBar Coupon barcodes due to variables, such as printing process, symbol orientation, and material. Due to

the time sensitive nature of the coupon printing process, these variables should be considered during the

design and barcode origination processes. Barcode verification should always be done from printing press

proofs.

Note: See Section 5.5.2.6 to ensure the correct Symbol Specification Table is used.

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers

In addition to the symbol used at general retail POS, an additional 2D symbol may be used to

carry AI (8200). As AI (8200) has a mandatory association with GTIN, the GTIN within the

symbol ensures compatibility with direct or indirect mode. GS1 DataMatrix is approved for all

applications including regulated healthcare trade items covered by SSTs 6, 7, 8, and 10, but for

general retail consumer trade items, either GS1 QR Code or GS1 DataMatrix are GS1 approved

options. When using 2D symbols to carry AI (8200) on general retail trade items, the following

specifications are required.

(*) UPC-E and EAN-8 Symbols are designed for use on small packages. Whenever space permits, UPC-A, EAN-

13, ITF-14, or GS1-128 Symbols should be used in the General Distribution Scanning environment.

The minimum symbol height dimensions listed for all symbologies including EAN/UPC Symbols do not include

the Human Readable Interpretation (or Bearer Bars for ITF-14 Symbols). The minimum heights of EAN/UPC

Symbols do not include the extended bars: see Section 5.2.1.4.2 for dimensions of the extended bars.

Because of the operative scanning environment for EAN/UPC Symbols, there is a direct relationship between

the symbol’s height and width. This means the minimum symbol height is tied to the minimum, target, and

maximum X-dimension listed.

ITF-14 Symbols with X-dimensions below 0.635 millimetre (0.0250 inch) should not be printed directly on

corrugate with conventional (plate-based) processes. Packages and/or containers marked with ITF-14

Symbols with X-dimensions between 1.016 millimetres (0.0400 inch) and 1.219 millimetres (0.048 inch) are

acceptable based on historical specifications, but a migration to the 1.016 millimetres (0.0400 inch) maximum

X-dimension should be made on new artwork. The ITF-14 Symbol’s bar width ratio target is 2.5:1, and the

acceptable range is 2.25:1 to 3:1.

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers

GS1-128 Symbols have a maximum symbol length of 165.10 millimetres (6.500 inch), which may impact the

maximum achievable X-dimension. For example, a GS1-128 Symbol containing an SSCC has a maximum

achievable X-dimension for 0.940 millimetre (0.0370 inch)

(**) The minimum symbol height for General Distribution Scanning is always 31.75 millimetres (1.250 inch). The

minimum symbol height dimensions for ITF-14 and GS1-128 Symbols relate to the bar heights only (do not

include Human Readable Interpretation text or ITF-14 Symbol Bearer Bars). There is no maximum for the

height, but if the maximum X-dimension is used, the symbol height must be equal to or greater than those

listed in the Minimum Symbol Height column.

(***) For ITF-14 Symbols printed on labels with off-set, thermal, or laser print with an X-dimension 0.495 millimetre

(0.0195 inch), the minimum quality specification is 1.5/10/660. For ITF-14 Symbols printed directly on

corrugate or labels with an X-dimension greater than or equal to 0.635 millimetre (0.0250 inch), the minimum

quality specification is 0.5/20/660.

(*) ITF-14 Symbols with X-dimensions below 0.635 millimetre (0.0250 inch) should not be printed directly on

corrugate with conventional (plate based) processes. Packages and/or containers marked with ITF-14

Symbols with X-dimensions between 1.016 millimetres (0.0400 inch) and 1.219 millimetres (0.0480 inch)

are acceptable based on historical specifications, but a migration to the 1.016 millimetre (0.0400 inch)

maximum X-dimension should be made on new artwork. The ITF-14 Symbol’s bar width ratio target is

2.5:1, and the acceptable range is 2.25:1 to 3:1.

Section 5.5.3.4 gives full details on when barcodes can be printed at less than the minimum X-dimension.

In general, barcodes may only be printed using an X-dimension below 0.264 millimetre (0.0104 inch) or 80

percent magnification under the following conditions:

 The allowance for X-dimensions between 0.249 millimetre (0.0098 inch) or 75 percent magnification and

0.264 millimetre (0.0104 inch) or 80 percent magnification is only applicable to on demand (e.g., thermal,

laser) print processes. For all other printing processes, an X-dimension of 0.264 millimetre (0.0104 inch)

is attainable and is the minimum allowable size.

 When printing a minimum symbol with any method of printing, the area provided for printing the symbol

and the required Quiet Zone should never be less than the area required for an X-dimension of 0.264

millimetre (0.0104 inch).

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers



When printing a minimum symbol with any method of printing, the symbol height SHALL never be

truncated.

(**) The minimum symbol height dimensions listed for all symbologies including EAN/UPC Symbols do not

include the Human Readable Interpretation (or Bearer Bars for ITF-14 Symbols), The minimum heights of

EAN/UPC Symbols do not include the extended bars: see Section 5.2.1.4.2 for dimensions of the extended

bars.

Because of the operative scanning environment for EAN/UPC Symbols, there is a direct relationship

between the symbol’s height and width. This means the minimum symbol height listed is tied to the

minimum, target, and maximum X-dimension listed.

The minimum bar height for ITF-14 and GS1-128 Symbols in this operative scanning environment is 12.70

millimetres (0.500 inch), but if the package is physically too small to accommodate this rule, further

truncation is permitted. In no case shall the bar height be less than 5.08 millimetres (0.200 inch).

There is no maximum for the symbol height, but if the maximum X-dimension is used, the symbol height

must be equal to or greater than those listed in the Minimum Symbol Height column.

Whereas, linear symbol heights are set at a fixed dimension, Composite Components are printed at the

same X-dimension as the linear portion of the Composite Symbology, and the barcode height varies

depending on the amount of data, the X-dimension, and which linear symbol is used in conjunction with the

Composite Component. Note that Composite Components have to be printed with a linear symbol such as

GS1 DataBar, GS1-128, UPC-A, or EAN-13. ITF-14 cannot be used with Composite Components.

Note: See Section 5.5.2.6 to ensure the correct Symbol Specification Table is used.

Note 1: Optical effects in the image capture process require that label based GS1

DataMatrix and GS1 QR Code symbols be printed at approximately 1.5 times the

equivalent X-dimension allowed for linear symbols in the same application.

Note 2: There are two basic types of non ink based Direct Part Marks, those with

“connected modules” in the “L” shaped finder pattern (GS1 DataMatrix Direct Part Marking

– A) created by DPM marking technologies such as laser or chemical etching and those

with “non connected modules” in the “L” shaped finder pattern (GS1 DataMatrix Direct Part

Marking – B) created by DPM marking technologies such as dot peen. Due to the marking

technologies and characteristics of reading they each have varied ranges of X-dimensions

and different quality criteria recommended and may require different reading equipment.

GS1 DataMatrix – A is suggested for marking of medical devices such as small medical /

surgical instruments. The Minimum X-dimension of 0.100mm is based upon the specific

need for permanence in direct marking of small medical instruments which have limited

marking area available on the instrument with a target useable area of 2.5mm x 2.5mm and

a data content of GTIN (AI 01) plus Serial Number (AI 21).

Note 3: The wavelength for Direct Part Marked GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 QR Code is

based upon the practical scanning environment and thus must in the grade be matched to

the scanner / imagers being used. See ISO/IEC 15415 and ISO/IEC 29158.

Note 4: The angle is an additional parameter defining the angle of incidence (relative to the

plane of the symbol) of the illumination for Direct Part Marking verification. It shall be

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers

included in the overall symbol grade when the angle of incidence is other than 45 degrees.

Its absence indicates that the angle of incidence is 45 degrees. See ISO/IEC 15415 and

ISO/IEC 29158.

Note 5: The effective aperture for GS1 DataMatrix and GS1 QR Code quality

measurements should be taken at 80 percent of the minimum X-dimension allowed for the

application. For Direct Part Marking - A this would equate to an aperture of 3; for Direct

Park Marking – B this would equate to an aperture of 6 and for general healthcare label

printing, an aperture of 8. See ISO/IEC 15415 and ISO/IEC 29158.

Note 6: The largest X-dimension in a given range that will allow a symbol with the needed

data content to fit within the available marking area should be used to maximize marking

and reading performance (depth of field, tolerance to curvature, etc.).

Note 7: In practical application, where very small symbol sizes are needed, it may be

necessary to work with GS1 DataMatrix module X-dimensions smaller than those 2342

suggested. Where dimensional restrictions prohibit the application of a full size code,

reduced x-dimension AIDC marking is encouraged to facilitate information capture. It

should be noted that these practices may limit the symbol effectiveness, including but not

limited to:

- the effect of smaller X-dimensions on reading performance,

- the need for, and limited availability of, special scanners/imagers for reading,

- special processes for marking,

- the overall cost considerations.

These smaller X-dimensions should therefore only be used internally or by mutual

agreement between trading partners

Note: In small instrument marking, mixed marking technologies used within the same

scanning environment should be avoided to ensure highest reading performance. Laser

etching is recommended for small instrument marking.

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers

Note: Since June 2007 GS1 has recommended all trading partners in the healthcare

sector invest exclusively in imaging-based scanners. Now that GS1 DataMatrix has been

approved within the standard, it is important to inform all trading partners of a process

within GS1 to establish target deployment dates. Without these dates, brand owners do

not have a way know when to deploy GS1 DataMatrix on their packaging and those

needing to invest in scanning equipment may inadvertently purchase equipment that will

not support the standards. To see GS1 Healthcare’s Position Paper on GS1 DataMatrix

adoption, visit http://www.gs1.org/healthcare.

Note: Since June 2007 GS1 has recommended all trading partners in the healthcare

sector invest exclusively in imaging-based scanners. Now that GS1 DataMatrix has been

GS1 General Specifications

Section 5: Data Carriers

approved within the standard, it is important to inform all trading partners of a process within

GS1 to establish target deployment dates. Without these dates, brand owners do not have a

way know when to deploy GS1 DataMatrix on their packaging and those needing to invest in

scanning equipment may inadvertently purchase equipment that will not support the standards.
