146 Chapter 7: Using the VCode’s bar code reader VCode User Guide If you need to read bar codes on adjacent sides of the plate (a long side and a short side), you may need to position the bracket farther back so that it the laser lines will cross bar codes on all sides. The farther back the bracket, the larger is the vertical spread of the laser lines. 00175 Vcode Reader Beam 00175 7. Tighten the bolts on the base of the bracket with a 4-mm allen wrench. 8. Adjust the angle of the laser emission by loosening the bolts with a 2.5-mm allen wrench and pivoting the reader. 00178 00178 Vcode Tilt screw If you are only reading bar codes on one side of the plate, or bar codes on two opposite sides of the plate, your goal is to have as many lines crossing the bar code as possible. If you need to read bar codes on adjacent sides of the plate, we recommend that you position the laser so that the top laser lines cross the top of the east or west side of the plate. Then when the plate is turned other laser lines will hit the label at the north and south sides of the plate. 9. Tighten the 2.5-mm bolts. 10. Press the white button labelled “TEST” to turn off the laser.

Turning the VCode on or off The general process of installing a bar code reader See... “Turning the VCode on and off” on page 58 “About installing the bar code reader” on page 142 Testing the reader using VCode Diagnostics Introduction After installing the bar code reader, follow this topic to make sure that the reader works and that it can read labels on all sides of the plates that you plan to use. This procedure can also be used at any time to test that a bar code label design is readable before using it for a production run. Before you start This procedure assumes that PlateTag is already open and communicating with the VCode. Procedure To test the bar code reader using diagnostics: 1. In the Device Selection group box of the Print Job page, select the default profile that corresponds to the type of connection cable you are using. 2. Open VCode Diagnostics. 3. In the I/O functions tab, click Trigger BCR. Note: If the button is unavailable, either the bar code reader was not detected during initialization, the VCode was not previously initialized, or a plate with a bar code was on the plate stage during initialization. 4. The result is displayed in the Last value box above the button.
