OF THE LASER, THIS MAY MAKE THE EQUIPMENT DANGEROUS TO OPERATE.
Remote Barcode Reader
The remote barcode reader is located on the input conveyor to the printer and
reads the barcode of the incoming product. It also provides information to the
Verification and Traceability software option.
The system comprises a mounting stand, the reader, a suitable barcode on the
product (not shown), an in-line trigger sensor and a set of configuration cards.
The stand is mounted onto a customer’s input conveyor. The configuration
cards are used to aid the barcode reader set up and calibration. The sensor is
attached forward of the reader using a Velcro fastener.
During the board/product transfer cycle, with the remote barcode option
enabled, the trigger sensor detects the board on the conveyor; it triggers the
remote barcode reader to read the barcode, before the board is passed into
the printer.

Handheld Barcode Reader
The primary function of the handheld barcode reader is to scan consumables
and user information for the Verification and Traceability software. The consum-
ables scanned include:
•Screen
• Print Material
• Solvent
• Cleaner Paper
The handheld barcode reader may also be used to scan the first board of a
batch that is to be checked by the remote barcode reader during a print run.
Different types of handheld barcode readers may be used, the user can select
a reader of their choice. It must be capable of being connected to an available
USB port on the printer.

23.4 Technical Reference Manual Chapter Issue 3, Aug 14
OVERVIEW - VERIFICATION AND TRACEABILITY
Introduction Verification and traceability is a software tool that validates (verification)
certain items before printing and records data (traceability) to a file.
Purpose Verification ensures that the product and the consumable items used in the
print process match the information stored in the product file.
At the end of each print cycle, verification information is written to the
traceability file. This information may be used to trace particular batches of a
product run and identify all the consumables used for that batch.
Operation At the beginning of a product run, the operator is required to verify the
consumables fitted to the machine. This is achieved by either scanning the
barcode using the handheld barcode reader or entering the identity information
using the keyboard.
During the print run, the product is automatically scanned by the remote
barcode reader located on the input conveyor; the data scanned in, is stored
for traceability with the print data. Each board is checked against the
information stored in the product file.
When a consumable item is replaced on the machine, the operator is
requested to verify the item by entering the identity of the item. This is checked
against the information stored in the product file before the print cycle can
continue.
