Scanner Setup

Scanner positioning and proper system setup are extremely important for proper SV Series operation. The following sections describe the most common setup possibilities in detail. Some knowledge of SV Series operation is recommended to best follow the steps. Please refer to Appendix A (SV Series Setup Hints - Scanning Distance and Angle) for a basic description of SV Series operation and scanner positioning and calibration.

Positioning is important to provide accurate analyses. The scan distance must be set accurately to achieve the proper beam focus to detect printer flaws and failures, such as a worn ribbon (matrix printing), low toner (laser printing), voids (flexo printing), burned pixels (thermal printing). The scan angle is important to accurately measure bar code and substrate reflectance values.

Setup is important to ensure proper interface to print mechanisms and host computers.
