Getting Started
This section provides general information about the DataMan 475 Verifier Verifier and the DataMan 475 Verifier Verifier
accessories and systems.
About the DataMan 475 Verifier Verifier
The DataMan 475 Verifier Verifier provides immediate quality assurance benefits:
lSets alerts for when code quality begins to degrade
lGrades up to 20 codes per second
lExports verification results to PLC, database, or FTP server as CSV, HTML, PDF, and custom formats
lImproves processes with detailed analysis and diagnostic information for every code
The DataMan 475 Verifier LabelLight utilizes a four-quadrant, 45-degree lighting attachment and the DataMan 475 DPM
utilizes either a four-quadrant 30-degree, 45-degree, or 90-degree lighting attachment. Both types of 475 verifiers are
compliant with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements for grading 1D and 2D label-based
barcodes. The included calibration card and robust grading algorithms ensure that the DataMan 475 Verifier verifiers
conform to ISO and application standards while providing accurate and repeatable results.
The DataMan 475 Verifier verifiers are packaged in a rugged, IP65-rated housing, and provide numerous ease-of-use
features, including one button to trigger and one button to start tuning.

Additional cooling measures may be required to keep the case temperature from exceeding 50°C. Examples of such
measures include: extra heat sinking and/or air movement.

Calibration
Calibration informs the verifier about the grey scale levels and pixel dimensions of the verifier. This way, the verifier can
report Symbol Contrast and X-dimension in true physical units.
For ISO compliant barcode verification, make sure that the verifier is in a calibrated state.
For Standards Based Grading, the verifier does not report all quality parameters without calibration.
In an uncalibrated state the verifier does not report:
lAperture and Symbol Contrast (SC) for ISO/IEC 15415/15416 applications
lMinimum Reflectance (MR) for ISO/IEC TR29158 (AIM-DPM) applications
Note: In an uncalibrated state, the verifier does not report aperture value, but uses the default aperture selection:
Auto 50% for 1D applications or Auto 80% for 2D applications.
To calibrate the DataMan 475 Verifier:
1. Click the Calibration icon in the top left corner in the TruCheck Verification window.
2. Enter the Rmax and Rmin values from the calibration card.
Use the Advanced Calibration option only if you use a non-NIST traceable calibration symbol. This option allows
you to enter the Custom X-Dimension (mils) value of the barcode that you use to calibrate the unit. The calibration
process uses the Custom X-Dimension (mils) value to calibrate dimension measurements.
3. Click Center Target.
4. A live image appears in the Calibration screen. Center the verifier over the calibration symbol.
5. Clicking Start Calibration prompts a Calibrating progress bar appear in the window
