3.5 Advanced Automation Options
The Advanced Automation Modules assist with routine tasks and post-print quality
assurance.
3.5.1 Inspection Unit-B1
The Inspection Unit-B1 examines every page for dust, stains, streaks, and other
flaws. Flawed pages can then be automatically reprinted. A separate workstation
compares the inspected page image to a baseline original. Operators can define
up to 64 priority zones on each page, with each zone having nine possible levels
of sensitivity.
IMPORTANT
•
Sensitivity levels six through nine (most sensitive) should only be used with high
quality paper on well-maintained and thoroughly-cleaned machines. Specifying
high sensitivity in other situations causes a significantly higher number of
rejections and reprints due to stray dust or debris.
•
Zone specification applies only to identification of spots and streaks. Registration
detection is set to within 5mm of the page edge, regardless of the zone setting.
The Inspection Unit can also verify barcodes, QR codes, and a subset of
alphanumeric and symbol form data for accuracy. The Inspection Unit reads the
printed data and compares it against a source spreadsheet (CSV format) for
accuracy. Pages with incorrect data are discarded and reprinted. The workstation
saves the inspection history logs in separate CSV files for later analysis and
comparison.
IMPORTANT
•
Only capital letters and a subset of special characters (symbols) can be analyzed.
The letter “O” is excluded from analysis.
•
Spaces are discarded during inspection. You must enter inspection strings
without spaces. For example, to inspect “red candy”, enter it as “REDCANDY”.
•
Only OCR A/B fonts in black text on a white background are supported.
•
Only one form field item can be inspected in a line. Inspection does not support
multiple fields. For example, “StateZip” can be an inspection source, but
“StateZip StateName” cannot be an inspection source.
The Inspection Unit cannot be combined with the Perfect Binder
, Multi Function
Professional Puncher
10 With the imagePRESS D3000 controllers, the Perfect Binder, Multi Function Professional Puncher, and GBC eWire
accessories can be attached, but inspection mode is not available when configured with the Inspection Unit. With the
PRISMAsync controller, the Perfect Binder, Multi Function Professional Puncher, and GBC eWire cannot be attached when
configured with the Inspection Unit.
