Step 5
Aligning the reader
Before you put the reader into productive operation, you must first align it correctly. You do this with the user interface by
selecting the "Adjust sensor" menu command. The dialog window shows you an image as seen by the reader.
Note
Focusing the image (SIMATIC MV440 only)
To be able to focus the image, you may need to loosen the fixing screws on the lenses.
Note
Access to online help via the "?" button
Each screen of the setup support has a "?" button at the top right with which you can open the online help at any time. The
help text of the online help relevant to the currently displayed dialog then opens.
1. Position the reader so that the code to be read appears in the center of the image and is focused sharply.
The reader automatically attempts to recognize a data matrix code and decode it. You can recognize a successful read
by the green frame around the code. The more precise the triggering and the greater the contrast in the code, the higher
the read reliability will be.
