6.3 Workflow
There are two principal workflows which can be handled with the T2611:
• Workflow 1: Print - Verify - Commission
With this workflow you can serialize the requested cartons and all good cartons will be part of the order.
• Workflow 2: Decommission
With this workflow you can take cartons you do not want to ship out of an order.
NOTE: In the following chapter, the workflows are described with the help of a Bluhm printer. Other printers
are possible. The overall procedure at the T2611 is the same.
NOTICE
Malfunction and damage due to faulty handling
This chapter only provides basic knowledge on the components of the T2611.
For details on the correct handling of the PLM refer to the PLM manual.
For details on the correct handling of the SMC software refer to the SMC OCV manual.
For details on the correct handling of the printer refer to the respective printer manual.
6.3.1 Workflow 1: Print - Verify - Commission

3 Create a line format and the devices (printer, SMC) in the PLM (see PLM user manual for details).
4 Create the hand scanner device (globally, see PLM user manual for details).
5 Press Home. Select the Smart Camera by pressing on the respective tab.
T2611 - Manual Serialization - User Manual - Document Version E 29 / 40
6 Teach-in the camera (see OCV manual).
NOTE: Before you can teach-in the camera, you have to provide a product that contains the printed
information that the camera has to inspect. To do so, you can start a test run via PLM (see PLM user
manual for details).
NOTICE
It is very important that the Datamatrix searching area extends the maximum horizontal
way (see figure below).
7 Create or import an order.
8 Start the order.
9 Navigate to the camera menu to see the reading result of the camera (Home > Smart Camera device
tab).
10 Place the carton on the moving plate.
11 Move the moving plate to the start position (left end, strobe lights are off).
NOTICE
The carton print side should be as flat as possible to avoid bad printing.
12 Start moving the plate to the right end.
Move the plate consistently and do not stop until you reach the right end.
While the plate is moving, the strobe lights are on and the printer prints the requested serial number
onto the carton. The camera verifies the code with the serial number and the human readable characters
during the movement of the carton.
Move the plate back to the starting position on the left end.
ð If the camera was able to read the code and the reading result was good, you can see a green frame
and the strobe lights are off.
ð If the camera was able to read the code and the reading result was bad, you can see a red frame.
NOTICE
The actual working speed for cartons may vary and depends on various factors (e.g. print
quality, size, carton surface, camera settings).
30 / 40 T2611 - Manual Serialization - User Manual - Document Version E
NOTICE
If you remove the carton before the reading has been finished, an offset of serial number
might occur. In that case stop and restart production to get synchronization again.
13 Place the next carton on the moving plate and start moving the plate to the right end and back to the left
end.
ð The reading result will be displayed.
14 Go on with all cartons you need.
15 Stop the order.
ð The machine is ready for the next order or for shut down.
6.3.2 Workflow 2: Decommission
1 Select the hand scanner for decommissioning.
2 Open the requested order and select Show Hierarchy.
3 Scan the carton.
ð The result will be shown at the PLM.
4 Stop the order.
ð The machine is ready for the next order or for shut down.

8 Cleaning
8.1 Visual Inspection and Cleaning of the System
Recommended inspection
interval
Daily Perform a general visual inspection.
What needs to be done?
WARNING
Cleaning the system when it is hot may cause severe damage.
Only clean the system with liquid when it is cooled down to room temperature.
WARNING
Careless cleaning may cause severe damage.
Never use a high pressure jet to hose down the system.
Do not use caustic cleaning agents containing solvents to clean the system and the
terminal. Never use pure alcohol or concentrated acid or lye.
Use particular care when cleaning in order to avoid damage and, above all, to prevent
water from entering the system.
• Clean the system and terminal using soft cloths dampened with a mild solution of soap and water or a
commercially available glass and plastic cleaner.
8.2 Visual inspection of Gaskets/Seals
Recommended inspection
interval
Monthly Perform a general visual inspection.
What needs to be done?
8.3 Cleaning the Touch Screen
The display surface is made from glass and the casing from stainless steel. To ensure efficient operation,
the surface of the touch screen should be cleaned regularly. Only special cleaning wipes and cleaning
agents should be used:
• Commercial cleaners for computer equipment
• Alcohol-based disinfectants
CAUTION
Solvents can damage the display.
Never use diluting agents, benzene, abrasives or other strong solvents, as these can
damage the display!
8.4 Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head every 30 minutes or if the print quality is not sufficient.
T2611 - Manual Serialization - User Manual - Document Version E 35 / 40
To clean the print head, press a lint free cloth on the print head. Do not move the cloth, just press it down.
8.5 General Advice on Stainless Steel Maintenance
Stainless steel generally provides much better protection against corrosion when compared with steel or
aluminium. Stainless steel, however, does not always remain rust-free. Stainless steel can also become
dirty or rusty to some extent, depending on the operational use and the conditions in the working
environment. The most common causes are surface rust (fine iron particles in the air), active gases, the
accumulation of sediments and the build-up of salts. These superficial damages can be easily removed by
using a stainless steel spray daily. After cleaning with soap and water, you should check that the residue is
washed off with a suitable amount of water.
