Hand Held Products Quick Check QCOLV-SV100 User manual

Hand Held Products’ Quick Check®Model QCOLV-
SV100 Verifier is a universal system component that
can analyze linear bar code print quality, check
encoded data, and detect system failures. In its
basic mode of operation, the QCOLV-SV100 per-
forms bar code verification and operates in various
synchronous modes.
The QCOLV-SV100 combines state-of-the-art digital
signal processor (DSP) technology, a proprietary
high-speed moving beam laser scanner with unique
analog output capability, and flexible I/O and commu-
nications capability. This powerful architecture
enables the unit to be an economical Quality
Assurance tool for practically any bar code printing,
application, or conveyance system.
The QCOLV-SV100 performs most accepted
methods of bar code verification: ANSI method,
traditional method, encoded data format checks, and
laser scanning type analyses. These wide ranging
analysis parameters can be used to measure bar
code quality and detect failure mechanisms for any
print technology. Bar code quality and encoded data
information can be reported through the serial
communications port for each code analyzed;
therefore, accountability for all printed bar codes is
possible. The QCOLV-SV100 I/O consists of five
programmable output ports, two programmable
display LEDs, and a sync input. The programmable
ports allow the unit to be used as a controller for
pausing printers, activating lights, and gating
conveyors.
The recommended setup tool for the QCOLV-SV100
is Hand Held Products’ QC ScanView, Windows®-
based software. This program simplifies setup via
menus, and offers real time monitoring of bar codes
being analyzed. QC ScanView programs the
QCOLV-SV100 via serial communication using a PC
download language (described in the User’s Guide,
part #QCOLVSV/UG).

Operation Modes
Sync Mode
Moving Bar Codes: A sync signal is used to indicate when an object or label containing a bar code has entered or exited the laser beam. Bar codes are
analyzed, ports activated, and transmissions sent as the bar codes pass through the beam. The QCOLV-SV100 is programmed for the
number of bar codes to expect during a sync period. Therefore, the QCOLV-SV100 detects missing or undetectable bar codes. A hardware
input is the most common sync source for Sync Mode.
Sync Mode
Stationary Bar Codes: Bar codes are placed in the beam and held in a known position. A sync input commands the unit to turn on the laser beam, perform a
programmable number of scans, report the analysis, and turn off the laser beam. RS-232 communication sync command (-SA) is the most
common sync source. A rastering laser option is often used to analyze the bar code area.
Non Sync Mode
Free Scan Operation: A sync signal is not used and the unit scans and analyzes bar codes as they pass through the laser beam. This mode is only recommended
if the QCOLV-SV100 is used as a bar code decoder, since it can’t report missing or undetectable bar codes.
