Figure 49: Tracking Area
This coordinate system is absolute for the reading station, i.e. valid for all the scanners
independently from their position or orientation with respect to the conveyor. For this reason,
after the PackTrack configuration (and calibration) has been correctly performed, when a
barcode is under the beam to be read by the scanners, its position is defined by the
coordinates of its central point, independently from which scanner is reading it.
Step-by-step procedures for calibrating Top-Mounted (see 5.6.2) and Side-Mounted (see
5.6.3) barcode scanners are described below.
5.6.1 Using the PackTrack Wizard
Before you begin calibration:
1. In Modify Settings | Global Settings | Barcode Settings, select and configure a system
barcode.
2. In Modify Settings | Global Settings | Barcode Configuration, create a Global No
Read message you can easily recognize, such as NO READ.
3. In Modify Settings | Global Settings | Operating Mode, select PackTrack as your
Operating Mode Selection. Make sure the mode settings and encoder settings match
your system parameters.
4. Navigate to Diagnostics | Read Test.
5. Place a system barcode in the scan line of the barcode scanner.
