About the LVS-9580/9585

The LVS-9580/9585 is a portable, handheld barcode verifier designed for off-line verification of barcodes to
ISO/IEC standards. The LVS-9580/9585 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-9580/9585 verifies barcode labels located on a variety of surfaces including corrugated cardboard
boxes, shipping containers, and on a static (non-moving) web. The LVS-9580/9585 grades barco des in
either picket fence or ladder orientation.

Picket Fence Orientation

Ladder Orientation

The LVS-9580/9585 is 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant-Ready.

Quiet Zone

The quiet zone is a clear space preceding the start character of a barcode symbol and follows the stop
character. When reading/grading a barcode symbol, adequate space for the quiet zone must be allowed.
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-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English

Calibrate the LVS-9580/9585

IMPORTANT:

The LVS-9580/9585 should be calibrated regularly. The entire calibration p ro cess takes less
than 30 seconds to complete and ensures the LVS-9580/9585 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-9580/9585 window prior to calibration. See the

“Cleaning Instructions” section for more information.

1. To calibrate the LVS-9580/9585, click the “Calibration” tab.

2. Locate the Calibrated Conformance Standard Test Card (“test card”) that was packaged with the system
and place the test card on a flat surface.

Below is an example of an “EAN/UPC” test card.

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 a 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 percentage points.

8. When calibration is complete, click the “Grading” tab to grade barcodes. See the next section for steps
on grading barcodes.

1. Click the “Grading” tab.

2. Firmly grip the LVS-9580/9585 handle and press and hold the trigger (do not release the trigger).

3. Place the LVS-9580/9585 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 t he “Setup”
tab and make sure “Auto-sector” is selected in the “Grading mode” section (see below).

5. Slowly move the LVS-9580/9585 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-9580/9585. Position the center of the LVS­9580/9585 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, when the
camera is moved to the right, the image moves left. If the camera is moved 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 the
system.

Appendix A – Operating the LVS-9580 DPM Verifier

The LVS-9580 DPM Verifier is a Direct Part Mark (DPM) verifier. The LVS-9580 DPM Verifier can be used
to verify the symbol quality and structure of a Data Matrix symbol that is permanently affixed to a
manufactured item. Correct application standards must be used to verify the structure of the data contained
in the direct part mark. This list of available standards is located on the Setup Screen. The software is
programmed to use the following application standards:

 DPM ISO/IEC TR29158:2011(E)
 DPM + MIL-STD-130N w/Change 1 (16NOV2012)
 DPM + UII + MIL-STD-130N w/Change 1 (16NOV2012)
 GS1 TABLE 7 DPM (non-medical)
 GS1 TABLE 7 DPM (medical-ink)
 GS1 TABLE 7 DPM (medical, Direct A, connected)
 GS1 TABLE 7 DPM (medical, Direct B, not connected)

The LVS-9580 DPM Verifier can be used as a print quality verifier (15415/15416, GS1) and can verify
according to DPM verification standards (ISO/IEC TR29158, MIL-STD-130, UII, and GS1) provided that
those upgrades have been purchased.

The LVS-9580 DPM Verifier can also operate in conjunction with the LVS-9510 Verifier. Both the LVS-9580
DPM and LVS-9510 can be connected to the same computer, allowing you to switch between devices.
Note: The LVS-9510 does not support DPM verification.

DPM Verification

DPM verification does not follow the same rules as traditional 1D and 2D verification. Differences:

 All dot peen symbols must now be read with the L-pattern placed squarely in the field of view.
 Symbol Contrast is no longer measured. SC (Symbol Contrast) has been replace d with a new

parameter called Cell Contrast (CC). A cell contrast value of 30% is now an A Grade.

 Modulation and Reflectance Margin are no longer measured. These two parameters are replaced with

a new parameter called Cell Modulation (CM).

 The LVS-9580 DPM Verifier can grade a direct part mark on most surfaces. The usable field of view is

now limited to 1.75” (44mm) by 1.75” (44mm).

 Average Grade (AG) is no longer reported. A parameter called Distributed Damage Grade (DDG) has

taken its place. DDG indicates the average of the notional damage grade at the D Grade level.

 A parameter has been created called Minimum Reflectance. A Minimum Reflectance greater than or

equal to 5% is considered to be an A Grade (4.0). If it is less than 5% then it is an F Grade (0.0).

 The final grade now reports additional information:

DPM4.0/12/660/D

o DPM = Indicates that the DPM rules have applied to the final grade.
o 4.0 = Indicates the final grade point average. This final grade will always be a whole number.
o 4.0 = A Grade, 3.0 = B Grade, 2.0 = C Grade, 1.0 = D Grade, 0.0 = F Grade.
o 12 = Aperture Size o 660 = Color of the light. 660 = red.
o D = Angle of the light source. A D angle indicates a dome light.

LVS-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English Page 18 of 27

LVS-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English

Grading

The LVS-9580 Grading Screen shows 6 boxes on the right side of the viewing window. These will
represent which lighting modes are being used to Grade the DPM code. The LVS-9580 will only use Red
Dome.

There is also a button on this screen titled Lighting. This is not authorized for use with the LVS-9580.

Grading a DPM Symbol

On the Grading Screen hold the trigger switch in. The target DPM symbol then appears in the viewing
window. A pop-up window appears at the top of the screen which says “Hold trigger while searching”.
Position the DPM symbol so that it is square to the field of view and then hold the LVS-9580 steady.
(Software does not grade the code until there is no motion detected.)

Once software has found the DPM symbol, the screen zooms in (magnify) on the symbol. Software also
reports what grade has been detected. There is a pop-up window at the top of the screen that reports the
best grade found. It will not stop looking for a better grade until either an A Grade has been reached or the
user releases the trigger.

LVS-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English Page 19 of 27

Best DPM Grade
being reported.

DPM image is
zoomed in.

If an A Grade is found, a pop-up window advises the user to “Release trigger”.

LVS-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English

If “Found” or “Adjusting” message is not shown after 20 seconds then the mark should be re-orientated
within the field of view and another attempt to grade should be made.

Remote Grading of a DPM Symbol

A user can push CTRL + SHFT and software will interpret this as a trigger switch command. This is useful
when the optional stand is used.

Grading with a Shiny Surface

Some direct part marks are created on a shiny metallic surface. When this occurs, the image of the camera
can be seen in the center of the field of view. The operator needs to move the direct part mark away from the
center of the screen so that the dark circle does not interfere with the grading process.

Drawing a Blue Sector

This feature is not allowed when grading a DPM symbol.

LVS-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English Page 20 of 27

LVS-9580/9585 Operating Instructions - English

Try Re-Grading

When a direct part mark fails to read, position the symbol in a different part of the field of view. The software
is sensitive to motion and may capture a slightly blurred image, which will cause the software not to grade it
correctly. The optional accessory stand, part # 98-9000125-01, can be used to hold the LVS-9580 in a fixed
position.

Keep the “L” pattern square to the field of view.
For most dot peen DPM symbols, the cells are formed by dots and are not connected to each other. This will

prompt the software to enhance the image by “connecting the dots”. However, the operator must keep the L­pattern square to the field of view in order for the software to grade the symbol correctly.

Correct:
DPM symbol
is square to
the FOV

Incorrect:
DPM
symbol
is not
square to
the FOV

Structure

This system is designed to check the Data Structure for compliance to industry standards for MIL-STD-130,
UII, and GS1. The embedded data is listed along with a description of what it stands for and reports the
value used to determine what the embedded data is. The Data Structure Analysis can be printed.

Calibration Screen

Follow the calibration procedure described on page 10. The Calibration Screen shows 6 lighting mode
boxes on the right side of the viewing screen. During calibration, the Red and White box activates when that
light mode is being calibrated. The individual N, S, E, and W light boxes do not activate during the calibration
process. Clicking on the Red or White box confirms proper calibration for that lighting mode.

Grading Screen

The LVS-9585 Grading Screen shows 6 boxes on the right side of the viewing window. These will

Grading a DPM Symbol

To grade a DPM symbol:

1. While viewing the Grading Screen, hold the verifyer trigger switch in. The target DPM symbol then
appears in the viewing window. A pop-up window appears at the top of the screen which says “Hold
trigger while searching.”

2. Position the DPM symbol so that it is square to the field of view and then hold the LVS-9585 steady.
(The software does not grade the code until there is no motion detected.)

Once software has found the DPM symbol, the screen zooms in (magnify) on the symbol. The software
also reports what grade has been detected. There is a pop-up window at the top of the screen that
reports the best grade found. It will not stop looking for a better grade until either an A Grade has been
reached or you release the trigger.

3. If an A Grade is found, a pop-up window advises you to “Release trigger”.

4. If the “Found” or “Adjusting” message is not shown after 20 seconds, reorient the mark within the field of
view and grade it again.

Remote Grading of a DPM Symbol

To grade a DPM symbol remotely, push CTRL + SHFT. The software will interpret this as a trigger switch
command. This is useful when the optional stand is used.
