Defining Validator Options

Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator

A number of validator options which define specific parameters for certain print jobs can be set from the printer configuration menu.

Setting Number Of Bar Codes On A Form

You can define how many bar codes the validator should expect on a form. This setting is required when bar codes are produced as a part of a larger bitmapped image. When set to a specific number, the printer checks after a form has printed and passed the validator and determines if it has received an analysis report for each bar code. If the printer does not have as many reports as it expects, it assumes a gross bar code failure.

When Auto (the default) is selected, the printer only expects as many bar code analyses as bar codes printed using printer bar code commands defined by the host software.

1. Press .. to take the printer offline and place the printer in Menu mode.

2. If necessary, press ↓ and ↵ at the same time to unlock the ↵ key.

3. If necessary, press .. until VALIDATOR displays.

4. Press ↓ until Number of Codes displays.

5. Press + or – to scroll through the choices: Auto, 1 to 99. The default is Auto.

6. Press ↵ to select the desired value.

7. Press ↓ and ↵ at the same time to lock the ↵ key, then press PAUSE to take the printer offline.

8. Press PAUSE again to put the printer online.

Checking Quiet Zones

Quiet zones are the white spaces surrounding the bar code. Each bar code requires a minimum quiet zone distance in order for the bar code to be scanned properly.

NOTE: The validator requires a minimum distance of 1/2” or 20 times the minimum element width (x-dimension), whichever is greater, between bar codes.
