بنام خدا کاربرد کامپیوتر در مهندسی صنایع (21774( Lecture 9 The barcode
WRONG RIGHT Bar Growth • Restrict scaling on the X dimension • Undercut bars and grow spaces equally
Will not read OR Substitution Errors (CODE 39) Dirty Laser Printer CLEAN DIRTY
Bar Code PrintingFuture Trends • Direct Part Marking • Ink Jet • Dot Peening • Laser Etching
DPM Bar Code Reader • Laser to Illuminate • CCD to Read
Selecting a Bar Code Printer • Environment • Indoor vs. Outdoor • Clean vs. Dirty • Media • Labels, Direct Marks, Paper • Ruggedness • Symbol Size • Flexibility
SCANNING MEANS Illumination PROCESSOR ELECTRO-OPTICAL SYSTEM A/D CONVERTOR DATA Reflected Light Definition • Bar Code Reader • A device used to extract the information that is optically encoded in a BCS and convert it into computer-compatible digital data • Two devices: Reader & Decoder (sometimes packaged together as one)
READER FUNCTIONS 1. Find the correct elements 2. Determine the widths of each symbol’s bars and spaces 3. Quantize the element widths into the number of levels appropriate to the symbology used 4. Ensure that the quantized element widths are consistent with all of the encodation rules for the symbology 5. If necessary, reverse the data order 6. Confirm that quiet zones exist 7. Confirm that any check characters are consistent with decoded data
LIGHT SOURCE LIGHT SOURCE PHOTO DETECTOR PHOTO DETECTOR APERTURE APERTURE TRANSMITTING TRANSMITTING RECEIVING RECEIVING LENS LENS LENS LENS SYMBOL SYMBOL Electro-Optical System • Light source creates “spot” on symbol • Reader Captures and measures reflectivity • Bars: Low Reflectivity • Spaces: High Reflectivity (Focused Illuminator Design)
Symbol Orientation • Picket Fence vs. Ladder
Wavelength • Reflectivity varies at different wavelengths • Wavelength Match between Reader and Symbol • Most Common Bands • 633 nm • 900 nm (infrared)
Specular Reflection • Print symbols on diffuse, non-shiny, matte surface (e.g., paper) • Avoid shiny surfaces (e.g., windows, laminates) Specular Reflection Diffuse Reflection
Specular Reflection SPECULAR REFLECTION
Avoiding Specular Reflection • Do not print on mirrors or shiny surfaces • Scan at an angle (<), not perpendicular to surface ( ) • Quick Test: • Hold symbol at shallow angle; bright reflection from Overhead light?
Bar Code Scanner (Most Commonly Used) Input Devices • Wands • Lasers • CCD • Fixed Mount
