3. Click OK to save your changes or Cancel to discard your changes.

Override Aperture

ISO 15415 and ISO 15416 outline rules regarding what aperture should be used based on symbology and cell size / x-dimension. ISO 15415 and ISO 15416 also state that apertures can be overridden by an Application Standard and that the Application Standard rules shall take precedence over the ISO standards. While the INTEGRA 9500/9505 supports a number of common Application Standards, it is conceivable that an aperture other than those stated either in the ISO standards or the supported Application Standards may be desired.

If an Application standard other than those specified is desired, you may override the aperture by clicking the Override aperture checkbox. Enter the diameter of the aperture expressed in one thousandths of an inch (.0254 mm); use this value

Approved: Spike Reed Effective: 15 Nov 2010 Supersedes: 28 Jan 2010 LVS®

at the lower right corner of the computer screen.

 Choose Adjust Date/Time.  Click the Time Zone tab and change the time zone to the correct time

zone.

System Settings

Minimum Passing Score

There is a PASS/FAIL mode of operation used to simplify barcode verification (this is explained in more detail in the section entitled Pass / Fail ISO Grading in the Grading Tab section). This is where the minimum passing score is selected.

Days before password expires

Use the arrow keys to select the number of days before the current password expires. As soon as you use the arrow keys, the checkbox will automatically be enabled.

Minutes before auto logoff

An automatic “Logoff” feature is set by clicking on the box and then choosing a period of time desired to make the system automatically log off after that period of time. Choosing n/a causes this feature to be turned off.

Recalibration Cycle

It is important to calibrate the system over a period of time. This feature sets up the desired number of days between system calibration. When the period of time has been reached, the software will not allow you to continue until calibration has been completed.

Allow Non-ISO blemish to affect grade

If this option is not checked, a barcode where many lines are not decodable will not be penalized since the ISO standard does not mandate how long decoded lines should be handled.

If this option is checked, non-decoded lines will degrade the overall ISO grade.

Metric

The Metric option allows you to choose between measurements being reported in inches or metric units (mm/microns).

Reference Box

You can choose to add a reference number to a final verification report by entering a number in this box, such as a Job Number, Control Number, Purchase Order Number, etc; this allows you to sort results by reference.

A reference number can also be entered in the Login box when a user logs onto the system. Note that the last updated Reference field overrides the secondary Reference field. For example, a user updating the Reference field in the Login box overrides the reference number entered on the Setup tab screen.

Company Name on Reports

This feature gives you the ability to place your company name on all final verification reports. Delete the Label Vision Systems, Inc name from the field and type in your company name.

Setup Operators

Many national and international standards stipulate that the operator of a verification system must be identified in order for the verification process to be valid. To set this up, push the Setup operators button.

The administrator of the system can now choose to add, delete, or change an operator’s name and password (see Figure below).

IMPORTANT: A password must have a minimum number of 8 characters

and must contain at least (1) alpha character and (1) numeric character.

This is also where the administrator of the system chooses which operator’s have permission to perform the listed tasks (see Figure on next page). Be sure to push the OK button when you are finished entering new users or updating levels of permissions. Following is a list of permissions and descriptions:
