1Installation Instructions

Overview

The online data validator (ODV) 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. How the printer

responds is determined by the validator settings, explained in “Configuring

The Validator” on page 37.

Operational Parameters

The design parameters of the validator are as follows:

•The validator can track the performance of up to four horizontal bar codes

at one time.

•The validator requires a minimum distance of 1/2 inch or 20 times the

minimum element width (x-dimension), whichever is greater, between bar

codes.

•The validator recognizes the following linear, picket fence bar codes:

Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, and UPC/

EAN.

•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 (0.010 inch) to be

recognized by the full width of the scanning beam. The validator can

recognize bar x-dimension as narrow as 6.6 mil (0.0066 inch) for 300 dpi

printers, and 10 mil (0.010 inch) for 203 dpi printers. The validator cannot

recognize x-dimensions smaller than 6.6 mil (0.0066 inch) or larger than

40 mil (0.040 inch).

Chapter 1 Installation and Removal

Installation and Removal

This section describes how to install the validator. To remove the validator,

reverse the steps of this procedure.

Prepare The Printer

1. Set the printer power switch to O (Off).

WARNING

Always unplug the printer power cord from the printer or power outlet

before doing any installation procedure. Failure to remove power could

result in injury to you and damage the equipment. You will be instructed

when to apply power.

2. Unplug the printer power cord from the printer or the AC power source.

Factory Installation

If your printer has a factory installed validator, the ferrite, cable, wire saddle,

and grommet have already been installed. Go to “Install The Validator” on

page 17.

Field Installation

If you are doing a field installation, you must install the ferrite, cable, wire

saddle, and grommet. Go to “Install The Ferrite” on page 10.

Install The Ferrite

1. Loosen the two captive screws securing the top of the frame side cover.

(Figure 2.)

2. Tilt the frame side cover back from the top and lift it until the tabs along

the lower edge disengage from the slots in the printer frame.
