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.
Picket Fence 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.

LVS-95XX Software Steps
Refer to the sections below for steps on:
Logging on to the LVS-95XX software Turning on the LVS-9580 camera Calibrating the LVS-9580
Note: Refer to the “LVS-95XX Series Software Installation Guide” for step-by- step instructions on installing the LVS-95XX software; a hard copy version of this guide is packaged with your system and an electronic version is located on the installation media.
Log On to the LVS-95XX Software
1. Start the LVS-95XX software. The “Welcome” screen appears (see below).
LVS-9580 Operating Instructions - English
2. Click the “Setup” tab. The “Login” box appears.
3. Enter admin (not case sensitive) in the Operator ID field and in the Password field.
4. Click “OK.” You are logged in to the LVS-95XX software.
5. Turn on the LVS-9580 camera by following the steps in the next section entitled “Turn on the LVS-9580 Camera.”
LVS-9580 Operating Instructions - English
Turn on the LVS-9580 Camera
1. Click the “Setup” tab and select “9580” in the “Camera” section (see below).
Note: If you are using only an LVS-9580 (with no other LVS-95XX barcode verifier, such as an LVS-9510), then “9580” will be the only camera listed in the “Camera” section. If you are using an LVS-9580 with an LVS-9510 (1.3 mp or 5.5 mp cameras) or LVS-9505 (1.3 mp or 2.1 mp cameras), then all system cameras appear in the “Camera” section. Select “9580.”
2. Select “Auto-sector” in the “Grading mode” section (see screenshot above). This allows the LVS-95XX software to locate a barcode within the field of view and automatically draw a sector around the barcode.
3. Next, you need to calibrate the LVS-9580 (if using the LVS-9580 for the first time). See the next section for calibration steps.

LVS-9580 Operating Instructions - English
Calibrate the LVS-9580
IMPORTANT:
The LVS-9580 should be calibrated regularly. The entire calibration process takes less than 30 seconds to complete and ensures the LVS-9580 is certified according to industry standards.
The Calibrated Conformance Standard Test Card should be replaced every two years.
It is recommended to clean the LVS-9580 window prior to calibration. See the “Cleaning Instructions” section for more information.
1. To calibrate the LVS-9580, click the “Calibration” tab.
2. Locate the Calibrated Conformance Standard Test Card (“test card”) that was packaged with your system and place the test card on a flat surface.
Below is an example of an “EAN/UPC” test card.
Master Grade barcodes
LVS-9580 Operating Instructions - English
3. Firmly grip the LVS-9580 handle. There is no need to press the trigger at this time (pressing the trigger causes the LVS-9580 to capture a live image; however, the image is automatically live while the system is in Calibration mode).
4. Place the LVS-9580 window over one of the Master Grade barcodes making sure the four rubber feet surrounding the window rest firmly on a flat, stable surface. The rubber feet hold the test card in place and prevent movement of the test card. See example of Master Grade barcodes above. It is important to note that not all of the rubber feet will fit onto the calibration card.
Not all of the rubber feet will fit onto the calibration card.
Verifier Window

5. On the “Calibration” tab, make sure the blue line travels through the middle of the PASS portion of the barcode (see Figure below).
6. Click the “Calibrate” button.
Successful calibration is indicated by a green “Calibration OK” message.
Failed calibration is indicated by a red “Calibration Needed” message.
7. If calibration fails: o Re-scan the Master Grade barcode and follow the above steps to calibrate. It may take
two or three attempts before calibration is complete.
o If calibration continues to fail, contact Microscan or your Microscan representative for
further instructions.
IMPORTANT: The calibration score will hardly ever match exactly; this is normal and acceptable as long as the scores are within +/- 3 percent.
8. When calibration is complete, click the “Grading” tab to grade barcodes. See the next section for steps on grading barcodes.
The blue line must pass through the
“PASS” portion
of the barcode.
LVS-9580 Operating Instructions - English
Grading Barcodes
1. Click the “Grading” tab.
2. Firmly grip the LVS-9580 handle and press and hold the trigger (do not release the trigger).
3. Place the LVS-9580 window over the barcode ensuring the four rubber feet surrounding the window rest on the substrate (media/label material). The rubber feet hold the substrate in place and minimize movement of the substrate.
4. The barcode image appears on the customer-supplied computer screen with a green plus symbol (+) located on the barcode image.
Note: If the green plus symbol (+) is not appearing on the barcode image, click the “Setup” tab and make sure “Auto-sector” is selected in the “Grading mode” section (see below).
5. Slowly move the LVS-9580 as needed to place the green plus symbol over the center of the barcode image (make sure the rubber feet rest on the substrate). Then, release the trigger.
Tip: Positioning the green plus symbol over the center of the barcode image may take a few moments when first learning to use the LVS-9580. Position the center of the LVS-9580 window as close as possible to the center of the barcode image. Please note that when moving the system, the camera reads in a mirrored view. For example, if you move the camera right, the image moves left. If you move the camera up, the image moves down.
6. The LVS-95XX software analyzes the barcode and reports a grade score between 4.0 (A grade) and 0.0 (F grade) on the “Grading” tab.
Refer to the “Grading Tab” section in the “LVS-95XX Series Barcode Quality Station Operations Manual” for more information on grading barcodes; this manual is located on the installation
media packaged with your system.

Cleaning Instructions
The LVS-9580 window may need to be cleaned daily, depending on use. Debris on the window may cause the LVS-9580 to not grade accurately.
Locate the following supplies: Commercially available household glass cleaner, such as Windex®, Glassex®, VISS®, or Mr.
Muscle®. DO NOT use an industrial-strength glass cleaner.
Soft, lint-free, non-abrasive towel or cloth Dampen the cloth with the household glass cleaner and gently wipe the window. Inspect the
window closely, looking for any label debris that may be stuck on the window. Do not scrape the window with a sharp object as this may damage the window. Any damage to the window will be detected during the calibration process.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT directly spray the window with glass cleaner; always spray a towel or cloth with household glass cleaner and then gently wipe the window.
DO NOT use an industrial-strength glass cleaner.
If you have any questions or concerns about the performance of your LVS-9580, please call your local Microscan Distributor or Microscan Headquarters.
