IMPORTANT: The ODV2D-V2 unit comes with a protective cover over the glass to protect from finger prints. Be

sure to remove it before starting the calibration process. Failure to do this will result in failure during the calibration. Make sure the glass is clean before proceeding.

About Alignment

There are four inter-dependent mechanical adjustments that affect the alignment and calibration of the ODV2D: Height, Tilt, Slope and Center-Line. They need to be set in the order shown.

The Height is factory set and should not need adjustment. Tilt and Slope are set independently, but may affect each other (as one is changed, the other may move too) requiring an iterative adjustment. The Center-Line adjustment is done last.

Alignment Web Page

1. From ODV2D-V2 Dashboard, select Field Calibration.

NOTE: You may select which style ODV2D or ODV2D-V2 to be installed. The default web page is for the ODV2D-V2.

These installation instructions are for the ODV2D-V2 version. If you are installing an ODV2D, follow the on-screen instructions for alignment and calibration.

2. Press Calibration key.

1) Height Adjust

1. The height should not need adjustment, but if the dial is not in the “Green”, loosen the three M4 bracket mounting screws and bias the ODV2D-V2 straight up or down in the mounting holes until the dial reaches the “Green”. Be careful not to touch the scan glass as you grip the ODV2D-V2 assembly.

2. Re-tighten the three mounting screws. Confirm that the dial is in the “Green”.

3. If the dial is in the “Red”, contact Printronix Auto ID Customer Service for a replacement unit.

2) Slope Adjustment

Figure 31: Slope / Tilt Adjustment screws

1. Adjust Slope setscrew to get the indicator into the “green”, as close to “0” as possible. The display on the web page will indicate which direction to turn the screw.

Figure 32: Web Browser “Field Calibration, Target”

Figure 33: Slope / Tilt Dials

3) Tilt

1. For the Tilt adjustment, place the bubble level on the top of the ODV2D-V2 to make sure it is the same as measured previously, and turn the setscrew so that it looks as straight as possible, while still keeping the dial in

the “green”. It may be necessary to return to the Slope setscrew, turning one, then the other to get them both into the “green”.

Small Locking Cap Screws

Figure 34: Tighten Mounting Screws

2. Slowly tighten the three small locking cap screws until secure, keeping both of the settings in the green. They do not need to be perfectly aligned with the zero.

4) Center-Line Adjustment

Figure 35: Center-Line Adjustment

Figure 36: Height / Center-Line Indicators

1. While looking at the Center-line Indicator on the web browser, use a flat blade driver, or a 3mm hex wrench, to turn the Adjustment Screw on the top of the ODV2D per the “Right Hand Rule” – counter-clockwise turn, Centerline goes up. Clockwise turn, Center-line goes down, until the dial shows in the “Green”. It is not necessary to be perfectly aligned with the zero.

The following hardware options for the T8000 printer are compatible with the ODV2D-V2 assembly:

Make sure that the calibration routines are done with all options installed.

12. Maintenance

The ODV2D-V2 is a self-contained unit that requires only periodic cleaning. On every service call, power down the printer and use Microfiber Glass and Mirror Cloth and Sight Savers Lens Cleaner Spray or equivalent to clean the glass.

There are no serviceable parts within the ODV2D-V2 assembly. Replace any components that are damaged or not operating per the spares list below:

ODV2D-V2 Validator

Table 4. ODV2D-V2 Spares Parts List

Table 5. Troubleshooting the Validator

Symptom

Solution

The ODV2D-V2 beam does not come on.

1. Make sure the power/data cable is plugged into the ODV2D-V2 and the controller board on the printer.

2. Make sure the validator has not been disabled in the ODV2D-V2 > Control > Validator Active menu. See “Enable Validator” on page 15.

3. Print a bar code 2D Validation Demo page on page 33.

4. Call your service representative if the problem persists.

The ODV2D-V2 beam does not cover the entire width of the labels being printed.

There is something wrong with the LED array. Call your service representative if the problem persists.

The printer pauses after scanning each label.

For complex labels with 2-D or several 1-D barcodes, the printer might be waiting for the ODV2D-V2 to complete analysis. Try reducing the print speed to minimize pausing.

Printing less than 10 mil (0.010 inch) x-dimension width bar codes constantly causes error messages.

The validator does not recognize x-dimensions smaller than10 mil. If you must print bar codes this size, disable the validator to prevent error reports. See “Enable Validator” on page 15.

The printed labels look clean, but the validator is still reporting an error message.

The validator glass may be dirty, distorting the report results. Power down the printer and clean the glass using Microfiber Glass and Mirror Cloth and Sight Savers Lens Cleaner Spray or equivalent.

14. Troubleshooting

If you are having problems with the validator, consult Table 5 for a list of symptoms and possible solutions.

Table 5. Troubleshooting the Validator

Symptom

Solution

The printed bar codes are causing error conditions.

There are several factors which could be causing validation errors:

• The ODV2D-V2 is not properly aligned with the printer. See “Calibration” on page 22.

• The ODV2D-V2 White Gain / Reflectance may need to be calibrated. Complete White Gain calibration on page 29 and Reflectance on page 32.

• Make sure the entire bar code passes completely under the scanning beam.

• The validator and printer are not properly communicating. Test the validator operation without using a host. See 2D Validation Demo page on page 33.

• Bar code width. The validator can recognize x-dimensions as narrow as 10 mils.

• Bar code size. A minimum height of 0.10 inch is required for validation. If problems persist, increase the bar code height.

Table 5. Troubleshooting the Validator

Symptom

Solution

The printed bar codes are causing error conditions. (continued)

• Bar code type. The validator only recognizes the following linear, picket fence bar codes: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, and UPC/EAN, PDF417 and Data Matrix.

• Bar code spacing. The validator requires a minimum distance of 1/2 inch or 20 times the minimum element width, whichever is greater, between bar codes.

Printer speed. See “

• Print Speed Limits” on page 22. If problems persist, decrease the Media > Speed > Print Speed.

• Be sure the bar code is not printing on the extreme edges of the label.

• Clean the printhead. See “Cleaning” in the Administrator’s Manual.

• Check that paper and ribbon are clean, unwrinkled, and installed correctly.

• Check the number of bar codes being validated concurrently. The validator can track the performance of up to 50 barcodes at one time.

If your application is not acting reliably, there are other possible factors including the reflectivity of the media and/or ambient light affecting the camera’s ability to capture an image. Users should decrease the print speed in these situations to see if this improves performance.
