Installation Assist ance
For software installation assistance with any LVS-95XX system, refer to the “LVS-95XX Series Software Installation Guide”.
The LVS-95XX system arrives to your site packaged in a specially designed shipping carton. DO NOT discard this shipping carton in case you must ship or store the system for any reason. Failure to use this carton when returning your product to Microscan will void warranty.
WARNING: All LVS-95XX systems must use the calibration card and installation flash drive issued with the system. The LVS-95XX system, calibration card and installation flash drive use the same serial number and must be used in conjunction with each other to obtain correct calibration results. Failure to use the calibration card and installation flash drive issued with the system will result in incorrect calibration results.
System Manuals
All LVS-95XX system manuals are stored in the following locations:
Installation flash drive Each system purchase is supplied with an installation flash drive containing

5. Click the Grading tab and place a barcode into the field of view. Draw a box around the PASS portion of the barcode, ensuring enough space for the quiet zone. Position the barcode as close to the center of the field of view as possible. The verification results are displayed immediately.
When using the LVS-9510 with a 5.0 megapixel (MP) camera, the border around the image view box turns yellow when placing an image in the field of view. A yellow border indicates that a lower resolution image is being used to easily adjust the image to its ideal position. When the ideal position is located, stop moving the image. When no motion is detected in the field of view, the image view box border turns cyan/aqua indicating that a higher resolution image is being used for barcode grading.

Toggling the LVS-95XX Software between Two Languages
Pressing Ctrl + F on the keyboard allows the LVS-95XX software to toggle between two different languages. The default condition of Ctrl + F toggles the LVS-95XX software between the currently active language and the English language.
To toggle between two languages other than English, independently log into each language then press Ctrl + F to toggle between the last two active languages. For example, to toggle between Italian (Italiano) and Spanish (Español), from the Welcome tab, select Italian (Italiano) and log in. Next, click the Welcome tab and log out. Select Spanish (Español), and log in. Pressing Ctrl + F will now toggle between Italian and Spanish.
Current Software Version List
Double-clicking on the term Version allows you to view a complete list of the latest software versions. After double-clicking on this term, the following page appears. This information is important if it is necessary to contact the Microscan technical helpline.

Password Login
The password Login box appears when you click on any of the tabs located at the top of the screen. Enter the Operator ID and Password. When the system is used for the first time, the Operator ID is admin
and the password is admin. This enables the administrator to gain access to where the software sets up and maintains all passwords and levels of Permissions for each operator.
The Reference field, which is optional, allows operators to enter a reference number for the work they are performing. This number can be used to reference a Job Number, Control Number, Purchase Order, etc.
The reference number can also be entered in the Reference field located on the Setup tab screen.
IMPORTANT: The last updated Reference field overrides the seco ndary Reference field. For example, a user updating the Reference field on the Setup tab screen overrides the reference number entered in the Login box.
Passwords and permission levels are explained in the next chapter under the Setup Operators section.

Setup Tab
The Setup tab contains the following sections:
• Camera
• Grading Mode
• Application Standards
• Current Information
• System Settings
• Optional Features
• Change Password button
Each of the aforementioned sections is listed below:
Camera
Select On to turn on the LVS-95XX system camera. Select Off to turn off the camera. The camera automatically turns off when the following occurs:
• When an imported image is reviewed (see the Archive Tab section for more information).
• After performing a “stitching” operation (see the Barcode Too Wide for Field of View (Stitching Function)
section for more information). After you have finished inspecting either of the above images, the camera must be turned back On to
see live images again.
IMPORTANT: The LVS-95XX system recognizes a maximum of three cameras plugged into a computer at one time.
See the next page for camera examples.

Grading Mode
The “Grading Mode” section allows you to choose one of the following three ways to grade barcodes:
Note: All grading results, regardless of which grading mode is selected, are archived and viewable by clicking the “Archive” tab, and then selecting “Recent reports (last 30 days).”
• Automatic: Automatic grading mode is selected typically when the user is verifying multiple barcodes of the similar dimensions. Once a sector (blue box) has been drawn, the software will detect motion and will “automatically” attempt to grade once motion has ceased. The user does not have to draw a n ew sector for each new barcode placed in the field of view. The sector must be drawn sufficiently large to include the required quiet zones and to allow barcodes to be easily placed in the sector but not so large as to capture unnecessary data within the reading window.
• Manual: After a sector has been established, you can remove the barcode and place anothe r barcode into the field of view. Motion is detected (same as Automatic mode), however the barcode is graded after the Click to grade button is pushed or if a new sector is drawn.
• Auto-sector: The LVS-95XX software draws the sector automatically; the user does not have to draw a sector. The barcode is placed on the green “+” and when motion stops, the software detects the barcode and draws the appropriate sector around the barcode and grades the barcode. Auto-sector does a nice job detecting the barcode and drawing a sector including appropriate quiet zones; however, it is not perfect. If an incorrect sector is drawn, the user can re-draw the sector manually. Follow the steps below to use the Auto-sector feature.
