This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Printronix Online Data Valid ator (ODV) Compliance St atem ent
The Printronix Online Data Validator gathers data per the ISO/ANSI method of verification to perform
practically all the industry standard bar code quality parameter calculations. These include all ISO/ANSI
method parameters, PCS, ratio, X dimension calculation, modulo check digit calculations, average bar
deviation, etc., along with decoding the symbol.
The reflectance values embedded in the calibration symbol supplied with each ODV are traceable to Applied
Image Primary Verification Calibrated Standard per ANSI X3.182 Step Reflectance Chart (see note 2.)
Applied Image certified Calibration Standards are manufactured to Applied Image, Inc. and Uniform Code
Council, Inc. specifications, using ANSI X3.182-1990 methodology, and are calibrated using standards
traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.)
ISO/ANSI Method Compliance
The Printronix ODV gathers data and performs all ISO/ANSI method parameter calculations per the ISO/IEC
15416 and ANSI X3.182-1990 methodologies with a few special considerations and exceptions. The ODV
also conforms to ISO/IEC 15426 per the requirements specified in Section 2. The exceptions and
considerations are related to the instrument’s design and mission. The design incorporates a proprietary
analog laser scanner that can be assembled with various focus lengths to produce different beam spot sizes.
The mission is to not only analyze bar code quality, but also to detect any printer failures, process failures or
media problems. For maximum performance and to conform to quality specifications, a fixed mounting
distance and angle are required. A beam spot size able to detect errors of the particular print method is highly
recommended. This beam spot size used may or may not correspond to the recommendations in various
specifications that it be related to the X dimension of a particular symbol, but instead correspond to the
printer’s resolution or some other parameter(s) critical in the application. A major philosophy of an on-line
verification system is; if the printer and/or process is operating correctly and the media has proper reflectance
properties, the best print quality for that particular print method and material is achieved by definition.
Special Considerations
1. Final system tests are performed at the proper focus distance and at an angle of 22 degrees. Units with
common focus distances are checked to yield analysis results within +/- 4 % of all target values except +/- 3%
for the Rmin calculation.
2. The standard ODV has an 8 inch focus distance creating a spot size that gathers light equivalent to a 6 mil
round aperture. For these models, final test includes analyzing UPC symbols on the Calibrated Conformance
Standard Test Card for EAN/UPC Symbol Verifiers. Results are checked to be within +/- 4% (+/- 3% for Rmin)
of the marked values on the test card.
3. All ODV’s use the same laser diode with a wavelength of 660 +/- 10 nm. Therefore, any ISO/ANSI overall
symbol grade calculated by an ODV includes 660 as the wavelength portion of the grade.
Exceptions to the ISO/ANSI Method
1. The Defects calculation does not include the quiet zone area. A separate quiet zone check is implemented
to more easily isolate print problems vs. setup problems in an on-line environment.
2. A laser spot is used instead of a round aperture. The spot size is dependent on the focus distance of the
The online data validator (ODV) is an external bar code scanning
device attached above the paper exit of the printer. When activated,
it scans the printed output looking for bar codes. When it finds a bar
code, it determines what type of bar code it is and monitors the bar
code quality as it passes through the scan area.
After the entire bar code has passed under the scanning beam, the
validator grades the bar code and sends a report to the printer. How
the printer responds is determined by the validator settings,
explained in “Configuring the Validator” on page 53.
Operational Parameters
The design parameters of the validator are as follows:
•
The validator can track the performance of up to four horizontal
bar codes at one time.
•
The validator requires a minimum distance of 1/2 inch or 20
times the minimum element width (x-dimension), whichever is
greater, between bar codes.
•
The validator recognizes the following linear, picket fence bar
codes: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of
5, and UPC/EAN.

Chapter 1
Overview
•
The validator can also evaluate PDF 417 bar codes. For PDF
417 Limited, the validator works best with security level 5 or
higher, using the current default printer settings for Defects
Percentage, Percent Decode, and Decodeability. For lower
security levels, lower the Defects Percentage to 5% to enable
checking for bar code damage.
•
Stacked, 2D, and vertical (ladder) bar codes are not supported.
•
Bar codes must have a minimum x-dimension of 10 mil
(0.010
inch) to be recognized by the full width of the scanning
beam. The validator can recognize bar x-dimension as narrow
as 6.6 mil (0.0066 inch) for 300 dpi printers, and 10 mil
inch) for 203 dpi printers. The validator cannot recognize
(0.010
x-dimensions smaller than 6.6 mil (0.0066 inch) or larger than
40 mil (0.040 inch).
Refer to Table 1 for the minimum x-dimension requirements for
each printer size of a 300 dpi printer.
