CHAPTER
1 GET STARTED
The PX940V is a rugged label printer with ANSI Grade (ISO15415/15416) verification for label printing.
The Verifier Integration Interface of thePX940V printer allows you tocommunicate with the printer through a host PC setup. Using the Verifier Integration Interface (VII), verification data can be collected as images and XML reports.
A TCP/IP connection needs to be configured between the printer and host PC for communication.
Features
The verifier identifies and verifies the printed barcode using supported command languages.
The VII can be used for the following:
•Label validation
•Secondary Grading
•Grading Barcodes
•Storing Audit Trails
•Label Duplication Detection
•Label Serialization Detection
About this Manual

Network Interface
A TCP/IP network interface is set up for the host PC to access the printer.
Note: While one host can be connected to multiple printers, each printer can only be connected to a single host at a time.

CHAPTER
2 PRINTER AND HOST PC SETUP
This chapter provides details to set up communication between VII and Host PC.
Set Up Printer
User can set up the printer through a web page or the printer LCD.
Access the Printer Web Page
1.Open a browser window on your PC.
2.In the location or address bar, type the printer IP address and press Enter.
3.Click Login. The login page appears.
You will be prompted to enter a username and password. The defaults are:
•User Name: itadmin
•Password: pass
After logging In, you will be prompted to change the password.
Configure VII
Before being able to configure the verifier integration interface service, it must be enabled in the Manage service configuration.
To enable the verifier integration interface service through the web page, click
Configure > System Settings > Manage Services. or
Through the front touch panel.
VII Command Reference |
3 |
Once the VII is enabled in the Manage services section, you can configure VII in detail through the web page.
Click Configure > Network Services > VII. or
Through the front touch panel.
The options for the VII are as follows:
•Execution Mode
•Verifier Mode
•Command Channel
•Image Channel
•Feedback Channel

VII Command Reference |
Execution Mode
The Execution Mode allows you to control the synchronization between label printing and printed label capture and verification.
Asynchronous Mode
One label is inspected while the next label is being printed and/or having its image scanned.
Synchronous Mode
A single labelis printed, imagescanned and fully inspected beforeany other labels are printed.
The default value is Asynchronous.
Verifier Mode
The verification modes define the types of the verification process. For the VII, there are three types of verification modes:
1.Mode1 - Scan
2.Mode2 - Scan and grade
3.Mode3 - Scan, grade and control
Verifier Modes and Description
Modes |
Operation |
Description |
Mode1 |
Scan |
The verifier will only scan the printed image, it will not do barcode |
|
|
inspection. The host retrieves the image, analyzes it and control the |
|
|
printer action. |
Mode2 |
Scan and |
The verifier willinspect the barcode. The host controls the printer action |
|
grade |
and could also analyze the image. If the image channel is enabled from |
|
|
host, the label image will be sent to host, otherwise the label image will |
|
|
not be sent to host. |
Mode3 |
Scan, grade |
The verifier inspect barcode and do failure action handling. The host |
|
and control |
captures reports and imagesfor storage. The barcode verification result |
|
|
will be sent to host via feedback channel. If image channel is enabled |
|
|
from host, the label image willbe sent to host, otherwise the label image |
|
|
will not be sent to host. |
For verifier modes 1 and 2, the printer will wait for the verification result from host. In Synchronous Mode on page 5, if printer does not receive verification result from host, printer will stop after printing 1 label.
InAsynchronous Mode onpage5, printerwillstopafterprintingXnumberoflabels
depending on the label length as indicated in the table below.

Command Channel, Feedback Channel, and Image Channel
Defines the port used for the host to connect to the printer. The range of the port number is 9301 - 65535.
Note: Your firewall must be configured to allow these ports to be accessible otherwise a failure may occur.
All the three communication channels must be opened to send or receive any data from the printer. For example, if the image channel is closed, the printer cannot send raw image data to the host.
Set Up Host PC
Verifier Integration interface allows you to transfer data between printer and host and control the printer from the host.
The host PC communicates with the printer using certain commands. To send the commands, user has to set up the communication channel and configure accordingly.
The communication channels are,
•Command Channel
•Feedback Channel
•Image Channel
Command Channel
The command channel is used to issue commands from host to printer. The commands can be sent based on the feedback result received from the printer to host or to get printing information.

VII Command Reference |
There are four types of commands that can be sent through command channel, namely,
•Query Information Command
•Configuration Command
•Printing Control Command
•Update Command
The types of commands that can be sent through the command channel from the host PC to the printer are detailed here.

Configure Command Channel
Setup a TCP/IP connection between host PC and printer to open the command channel.
Command channel need to be connected before connecting Feedback channel. The Feedback channel will only accept connection from Command channel's Host (same IP), else, even if it shows connection OK, there won't be any output from this channel.
Feedback Channel
Thefeedbackchannelisusedbytheprinter tosendtheprint jobstatus, verification result, or error result to host. These are sent by the printer automatically.
The responses from the feedback channel are:
•PrintJobStatus
•VerificationResult
•PrinterError
Configuring Feedback Channel
Setup a TCP/IP connection between the host PC and printer to open the feedback channel.
