Purpose of this Release

This Scalar 1000 641 firmware release adds one new enhancement that extend the capabilities of the
Scalar 1000 Library. This document describes the new enhancement, as well as corrections made to issues
encountered in previous releases of the library. Visit www.adic.com for additional information about
Scalar 1000 641 Firmware and previous releases.

New Enhancement

The following enhancement is in this release of the Scalar 1000:

• Improved label scanning during teaching

Previously, teach values could vary as much as 2mm between teaches, which could generate SAC
7C errors.

To improve scanning accuracy and reduce variance errors, labels are now scanned at least twice.
If the X or Y value exceeds 0.5mm, either X, Y, or both are scanned again. After scanning, the
largest X value and smallest Y value are passed to the teach function to calculate cell positions.

Also, to help eliminate SAC 7B errors that occurred during teach mastering, the reach motor
extends 1mm farther while extending to the teach master bracket.

Finally, to alert users when a scanner might need replacing, during the teach a warning message
appears on the operator panel when the scan beam is not level or is jittery.
