You can check whether series of numbers and barcodes in areas to which a barcode inspection or serial number inspection is applied are changing correctly. This section describes how to configure those settings.

This section describes the procedure for holding a job using the PS Plug-in Driver and configuring the settings using system’s Touch panel.
When setting up the printer driver, make sure you check that none of the previous settings are left in any of the item tabs. If any of the previous settings do remain, make sure you clear them.
You can perform the same operation using AccurioPro Print Manager.
This then creates the reference image.
For example, a single reference set is selected from [Printing Pages] in the [General] tab, and printed as proof.
A to D: Reference images
Gray section: Variable area
The diagram shows that if there are 12 sheets in the variable job, inspection will be carried out 3 times; once for every 4 reference images (A, B, C, D). The number of inspections will be repeated depending on the number of sheets in the given job.
After successfully printing the proof copy, the printed data is registered as a reference image. The reference image has the same file name as the original.
The printed data is also registered and displayed as a reference image on the [MACHINE] and [Ref. Image Manage.] screens on the system’s Touch panel, as well as in [Reference Image List 1]. For details, refer to [Ref. Image Manage.] Screen.
If, after checking the contents, you want to recreate a reference image, repeat Step 1 through Step 11.
The [InspectionAreaSet.] screen is displayed.
Step No. | Item | Setting Value |

1 | [Select Area Type] | For example, select [Serial No. (0-9) Area] |
2 | [Select Target Page] | Select the side to which the inspection area settings will be applied However, if you set [Select Page], you will not be able to set [Front Page] and [Back Page]. |
3 | [Select Area] | Set the area for the side selected in Step 2 Input the respective values. Alternatively, drag the mouse cursor to specify an inspection area. Press [Enter] to finish configuring the inspection area settings. |
4 | [No.1] to [No.30] | To set 2 or more [Select Area], select [No.2] (or the relevant quantity) from the menu list and repeat Step 3 You can set up to 30 for both [Front Page] and [Back Page]. If you want to delete the settings, select the number you want to delete, and press [Delete]. |

[Check the data inside a page] | Check that ordered numbers on the page are changing correctly according to the area number. Area numbers do not need to be consecutive. In the event of Area No. 1, Area No. 2, Area No. 4 (no Area No. 3), the Area No. 3 check will not be performed, but Area No. 1, Area No. 2 and No. 4 will be performed in that order. |
[Check the data between pages] | Check that the numbers set for each area number are changing correctly between pages. |

[Reference Image] | Select reference images for which the inspection area has been set |
Together with the printing, the inspection area data from the print image is decoded.
In this example, the print job, including all repeat parts are printed from [Printing Pages] in the [General] tab.
You can check the decoding results (CSV file) from the automatic inspection report.
Perform Step 1 through Step 5 from Checking Automatic Inspection Reports Using the Browser.
No. | Item | Check Items |
---|---|---|
1 | [Check the data inside a page] | Check that the decoding results for the area number are arranged properly. Check that the decoding results for the final area number on the current page, and the decoding results for the first area number on the next page are arranged properly. For example, in the case of sheet number 1 and sheet number 2 shown in Figure 1, since the decoding results for Area No. 3 on sheet 1 and Area No. 1 on sheet 2 are arranged as 3, 4, there would be no problem. |
2 | [Check the data between pages] | Check that the decoding results for each area number are arranged sequentially between the paper sheets. In the example used in Figure 2, the decoding results for Area No. 1 across the pages are arranged correctly as 1, 2, 3, and so there is no problem. Next, check the same for Area No. 2. In this case, the decoding results are arranged correctly as 101, 102, 103, and so there is no problem. |
