About the LVS-9580

The LVS-9580 is a portable, handheld barcode verifier designed for off-line verification of
barcodes to ISO/IEC standards. The LVS-9580 is a 5.0 megapixel camera-based system that
grades linear (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) codes up to 3 inches (76 mm) wide and up to 2
inches (51 mm) tall (including the quiet zone). See the “Quiet Zone” section below for more
information on quiet zones.

The LVS-9580 verifies barcode labels located on a variety of surfaces including corrugated
cardboard boxes, shipping containers, and on a static (non-moving) web. The LVS-9580 grades
barcodes in either picket fence or ladder orientation.

Ladder Orientation

The LVS-9580 is 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant-Ready.

Quiet Zone

The Quite Zone is a clear space preceding the start character of a barcode symbol and follows
the stop character. When reading/grading a barcode symbol, you must allow enough space for
the Quiet Zone. The required Quiet Zone space for each barcode varies by symbology. An error
message appears on the computer screen if not enough space has been allowed for the Quiet
Zone.
