1 Installation Instructions Overview The online data validator (validator) is an external bar code scanning device attached above the paper exit of the printer. When activated, it scans the printed output looking for bar codes. When it finds a bar code, it determines what type of bar code it is and monitors the bar code quality as it passes through the scan area. After the entire bar code has passed under the scanning beam, the validator grades the bar code and sends a report to the printer.
Chapter 1 Overview • The validator can also evaluate PDF 417 bar codes. For PDF 417 Limited, the validator works best with security level 5 or higher, using the current default printer settings for Defects Percentage, Percent Decode, and Decodeability. For lower security levels, lower the Defects Percentage to 5% to enable checking for bar code damage. • • Stacked, 2D, and vertical (ladder) bar codes are not supported. Bar codes must have a minimum x-dimension of 10 mil (0.
Tools And Materials You Will Need • • • • Static Wrist Strap 3 mm Allen key 2.

Chapter 1 Adjust The Scanning Beam Adjust The Scanning Beam NOTE: Make sure the printer is on and the scanning beam is on. If the beam is off, press the RESET button for less than 2 seconds to turn on the beam. When the validator is first installed, the scanning beam may need to be aligned with the two notches on the sides of the tear bar, as shown in Detail A of Figure 12. When the scanning beam is properly aligned it will line up with the two notches.
Attach The Power/Data Cable To The Validator If your printer is configured for Peel-Off Media Handling mode (use of optional internal rewinder), you may need to align the beam further behind the notches (0.20 to 0.30 inches [5.08 mm to 7.62 mm] from the front edge of the tear bar) so that the peeled label remains on the tear bar and the trailing edge of the last bar code can still pass completely under the scanning beam. See Figure 13. 0.30 inches 7.62 mm Figure 13.
Chapter 1 Adjust The Scanning Beam Top Left Screw Bottom Left Screw Bottom Right Screw Figure 15. Scanning Beam Adjustment Screws Figure 15 shows the screws used to adjust the parallelism and position of the scanning beam. The positions of the screws assume that you are in front of the validator unit and facing the printer. The following instructions and illustrations show how to adjust the validator according to how the beam appears. 1. Power the printer on and make sure the scanning beam is on.

Shifting The Scanning Beam Shifting The Scanning Beam This option enables you to shift the scanning beam horizontally to the left or right. The left edge of the beam should be approximately 0.13 inches (3.3 mm) from the left edge of the tear bar. After you set this value, save it as part of the configuration for future use. The value range is from -99 to 99. The default is 0. Lower values will move the beam to the left.
Chapter 1 Calibration Calibration WARNING Class 2 laser light. Do not stare into the laser beam or a reflected image of the laser beam. WARNING Using controls, making adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. The validator should be calibrated when it is first installed or when the printer displays the “Calibration warning” message. A special calibration bar code card is included with the validator package. 1.
Shifting The Scanning Beam CALIBRATION Light RESET Button Deck Lock Lever Calibration Bar Code Card Figure 17. Calibrating the Validator 7. The scanning beam should turn off for a few seconds then back on, and the CALIBRATION light should turn off. This indicates a successful calibration. NOTE: If the scanning beam does not turn back on and/or the calibration light is still on or flashing, the calibration has failed.
Chapter 1 Calibration 11. Power the printer off, wait a few seconds, then power the printer on. If the calibration was successful, the scanning beam is on and the CALIBRATION light is off. If the calibration was not successful, the scanning beam remains on and the CALIBRATION light stays lit without flashing. Repeat the calibration procedure. If repeated attempts fail, check the room for excessive ambient light, including direct sunlight. You may need to move the printer to a darker area of the room.
Bar Code Validation Demo Page 9. The printer will print one demo page containing two good bar codes. NOTE: In the QUICK SETUP or MEDIA CONTROL menu, if Label Length is set between 0.5 and 1.0 inches, only one good bar code will print. If Label Length is less than 0.5 inches and Label Width is less than 2.0 inches, no demo page will print. 10. To demonstrate a bad bar code reading, block the scanning beam with an opaque object while the bar code moves under the beam.

If necessary, press .. . until “VALIDATOR” displays. 4. Press ↓ until “Validator Report” displays. 5. Press ↵ to print the report. 6.
Validator Reporting Resetting Validator Data The validator reports on all bar codes it detects since the last data reset. For example, you print a large batch of labels with bar codes and then print a validator report. Then you print another batch of labels with bar codes and print another report. The report will contain information on both batch jobs. However, if you reset the validator data between batch jobs, the second report will only contain information on the second batch job.
Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator 5. Press + or – to cycle through the choices: • Disabled. Default setting. The validator does not send any data to an external device. • Serial Port. The printer outputs the bar code analysis and underlying data from the validator to a device connected to the serial port, so the validator data can be seen and analyzed with the optional remote management software. • Network Port.
Validator Statistics 5. Press + or – to cycle through the choices: • Short Report. Default setting. Provides the encoded failure cause or pass indication and the bar width deviation, shown as a percentage. • Full Report. Provides a completed report of all the data captured by the validator. • Validation Mode. Provides the same data as the Short Report, but adds the actual bar code data read. 6. When your selection displays, press ↵ to activate it. 7.
Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator • Last BWD: The Bar Width Deviation included in the most recent report received from the validator, shown as a percentage. NOTE: A bar code’s Bar Width Deviation is determined by comparing the bar width the validator expects to the bar width that is actually printed. For example, if the bar width is printed exactly as the validator expects, the BWD is 0%.

Press PAUSE again to put the printer online. Setting I2of5 Checksum This option allows you to include or exclude the checksum option in the Interleaved 2 of 5 code as part of the grading.
Advanced Validator Options For the Infinite option, the printer will stop every 5 retry attempts. After you clear the error message, the printer will attempt to print the same label. It will not attempt to print the next label until the previous (problem) label has printed correctly. Advanced Validator Options The following items are considered advanced items and are only visible if the Advanced menus are selected. Refer to the configuration section of your User’s Manual for more information.
Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator Percent Decode You can set how strict the validator grades each bar code. For example, the Percent Decode default value is 60%. This means that 60% of the scanned bar code must be readable for the validator to give the bar code a passing grade. You can set the Percent Decode parameter to a percentage value from 0% to 99%. The higher the percentage value chosen, the stricter the validator grades. 1. Press ... to take the printer offline and place the printer in Menu mode.

Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator Beam Shift This option enables you to shift the scanning beam horizontally to the left or right. The left edge of the beam should be approximately 0.13 inches (3.3 mm) from the left edge of the tear bar. After you set this value, save it as part of the configuration for future use. The value range is from -99 to 99. The default is 0. Lower values will move the beam to the left.
Print Speed Limits Operation There are a number of factors which contribute to successful bar code validation, including printer speed, demand print settings, calibration, and ambient light. The following sections describe how to ensure your bar code validator is scanning and reporting properly. Print Speed Limits Two factors in the validation process affect the printer’s speed limit: bar code height and the validation report type selected. Bar Code Height (Min.
Chapter 2 Operation For example, a bar code 1 inch in height can scan successfully at a printer speed of 25 inches per second; a bar code 1/8 inch in height can scan successfully at no more than 3 inches per second. By changing the Min. Code Height, the printer and slew speeds will be changed automatically. To change the Min. Code Height: 1. Press ... to take the printer offline and place the printer in Menu mode. 2. If necessary, press ↓ and ↵ at the same time to unlock the ↵ key. 3.
Print Speed Limits Validation Report Type Another factor that limits print speed is the type of validation report selected. The printer automatically examines the selected report type and sets the defined maximum slew (vertical paper movement) and print speeds to insure proper operation. If the current speed selected in the menus is higher than the maximum, the value is changed to equal the maximum. If the current menu setting is lower than the newly set maximum, no change in speed occurs. Min.
Chapter 2 Operation 3. If necessary, press .. . until “VALIDATOR” displays. 4. Press ↓ until “Min. Code Gap” displays. 5. Press + or – to scroll through the choices: 0.15 to 1.00 inches in 0.01 inch increments. The default is 0.25 inches. 6. Press ↵ to select the desired value. 7. Press ↓ and ↵ at the same time to lock the ↵ key, then press PAUSE to take the printer offline. 8. Press PAUSE again to put the printer online.
Bad Bar Code Error Detection Bar Code Failures The validator tells the printer to announce a fault condition in two situations: • if the validator detects a bad bar code • if the validator detects no bar code where it expects to find one. How the printer reacts to these faults is determined by the printer’s configuration settings, as described below. Bad Bar Code Error Detection The validator examines every bar code that passes under the scanning beam and sends an analysis report to the printer.
Chapter 2 Bar Code Failures • You can set the number of bar codes generated by a bitmapped image that the printer should expect per form by selecting a value in the “Number of Codes” parameter. For more information on choosing a value for the “Number of Codes” parameter, see “Setting Number Of Bar Codes On A Form” on page 48. Error Action Whether the error stems from a bad or missing bar code, the printer response is the same.
Error Action The printer remains in a fault condition until you press the PAUSE key. This clears the error message and takes the printer offline. You must correct any condition that may have caused the fault. When ready, the printer can be put back online and it will resume printing where it left off. Overstrike Use Overstrike mode when you want bad labels to be marked, but not reprinted (i.e., when using pre-numbered labels).
Chapter 2 Bar Code Failures The printer will stop, indicate an error, and overstrike as described above. Then it will skip a number of blank labels, depending on the setting for Skip Labels (see “Setting For Skip Labels” on page 51). It will then slew to the next top of a blank form and reprint the entire form that contained the bad bar code and any other forms that were perhaps interrupted by the error.
Error Messages Table 4. Message List Message Bar code quiet zone too small Explanation Data validation error: the blank zone(s) left or right of the bar code is not big enough to meet the minimum requirement. Solution 1. Fix the application. 2. Disable Quiet Zone in the VALIDATOR menu. Typically, this occurs in forms where bar codes are placed too close to other elements, the bar code is too close to an edge of the media, or the media’s position is shifting.
Chapter 2 Bar Code Failures Table 4. Message List Message Explanation Solution Contrast too low Check media Data validation error: the contrast between bars and spaces is not sufficient. This can be caused by too little heat in the thermal transfer or by use of colored media or ribbons. Increase Print Intensity or reduce Print Speed in the QUICK SETUP menu or via host software, change media, or disable Symbol Contrast in the VALIDATOR menu.
Error Messages Table 4. Message List Message Poor scanning Inspect head Speed Exceeds Validator Limit Explanation Solution Data validation failure: hardware defect. The validator detected unexpected dark spots in spaces or light spots in bars. This usually indicates a poor ribbon/media combination, a dirty printhead, or a burned pixel. 1. Check that paper and ribbon are clean, unwrinkled, and installed correctly.
Chapter 2 Bar Code Failures Table 4. Message List Message Unscannable code check media Explanation Data validation error: missing bar code. An expected bar code is missing or was printed so poorly that the validator cannot detect it. Solution 1. Check that paper and ribbon are clean, unwrinkled, and installed correctly. 2. Run a print job and check that the validator beam is not obstructed; remove obstructions as necessary. 3.
Error Messages Troubleshooting If you are having problems with the validator, consult Table 5 for a list of symptoms and possible solutions. Table 5. Troubleshooting the Validator Symptom The scanning beam does not come on. Solution 1. Make sure the power/data cable is plugged into the validator and the controller board on the printer. See “Installation” on page 15. 2. Make sure the validator has not been disabled in the VALIDATOR menu. See “Enabling And Disabling The Validator” on page 43. 3.
Chapter 2 Troubleshooting Table 5. Troubleshooting the Validator Symptom Solution The printed labels look clean, but the validator is still reporting an error message. The validator glass may be dirty, distorting the report results. Power down the printer and clean the glass using a household glass cleaner and a dry, lint-free cloth. The printed bar codes are causing error conditions.
Error Messages Table 5. Troubleshooting the Validator Symptom Solution • Bar code spacing.The validator requires a minimum distance of 1/2 inch or 20 times the minimum element width, whichever is greater, between bar codes. • Printer speed. See “Print Speed Limits” on page 57. • Be sure the bar code is not printing on the extreme edges of the label. • Check the number of bar codes being validated concurrently. The validator can track the performance of up to four bar codes at one time.
