DX8210 Barcode Scanner
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, inde-
pendently from which scanner is reading it.
Step-by-step procedures for calibrating Top-Mounted
(see )
and Side-Mounted
(see )
barcode scanners are described below.
Using the PackTrack Wizard
Before you begin calibration:
1. In Modif
y Settings | Global Settings | Barcode Settings, select and configure
a system barcode.
2. In Modif
y Settings | Global Settings | Barcode Configuration, create a Global
No Read message you can easily recognize, such as NO READ.
3. In Mo
dify 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 T
est.
5. Place a system barcode in the scan line of the barcode scanner.
6. Click Start Test. The scanner should success
fully read the barcode. If it
doesn’t, read successfully or registers a low read rate, check the system
specifications for mounting distance and
barcode specifications. Then make
adjustments as necessary and rep
eat the test. If the scanner continues to
have problems reading the barcode, contact Datalogic (www.data-
logic.com).
