142 Chapter 7: Using the VCode’s bar code reader VCode User Guide About installing the bar code reader Introduction This topic explains the general principles you will need to understand when installing a bar code reader. It also describes the workflow, pointing you to the topics that give installation directions. General goal To obtain successful bar code readings you must align the reader so that the laser lines reflect from the bar code label back into the reader with sufficient intensity for them to be read. Factors affecting optimal alignment The optimal bar code reader position will vary for different: ❑ Types of plates ❑ Label positions on the plate ❑ Bar code positions on the label ❑ Sides of the plate ❑ Vertical plate stage positions If you change your labelling setup Because the optimal bar code reader position varies according to whether you are labelling the short side or long side of a plate, you may need to re-align the reader if you change the print job. If you are labelling both a short side and long side in the same print job, you will need to set up the reader in a compromise position that can read from either side. The effect of ambient light The amount of ambient light can affect the success of a reading. The higher the ambient light intensity, the more difficult it will be for the reader to detect reflected light. Workflow The workflow for installing the bar code reader on the VCode is given in the following table: Step Procedure See... 1 Attach the reader to the VCode. “Attaching the bar code reader” on page 143 2 Adjust the reader so that the laser beam hits the label on a plate. 3 Test the performance of the reader. “Targeting the laser on the label” on page 145 “Testing the reader using VCode Diagnostics” on page 147
Chapter 7: Using the VCode’s bar code reader VCode User Guide 143 Attaching the bar code reader Introduction This topic describes how to attach the bar code reader. It is the first step in the workflow for installing the reader. Required tools To attach the bar code reader you will need a small, flat-bladed screwdriver. Attaching the reader To attach the bar code reader: 1. Turn off the VCode. 2. Unplug the VCode’s power cable and communications cable to allow good access to the bar code reader’s connection port. 3. Place the cut-out slots in the reader’s bracket over the screw holes on the left side of the printer, making sure that the reader’s cable is not trapped behind the bracket. 4. Screw in the bolts until they are finger tight. In the following diagram, one of the bolts is screwed in. 00176 Vcode reader bracket hole 00176 5. Insert the bar code reader’s connector into the left-hand serial port and tighten the screws with the screwdriver.
