Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator
48
• Last BWD: The Bar Width Deviation included in the most
recent report received from the validator, shown as a
percentage.
NOTE:
A bar code’s Bar Width Deviation is determined by
comparing the bar width the validator expects to the bar
width that is actually printed. For example, if the bar width is
printed exactly as the validator expects, the BWD is 0%.
However, if the bar width as printed is 25% wider or narrower
than the validator expects it to be, it reports a BWD of 25%.

Defining Validator Options
A number of validator options which define specific parameters for
certain print jobs can be set from the printer configuration menu.
Setting Number Of Bar Codes On A Form
You can define how many bar codes the validator should expect on
a form. This setting is required when bar codes are produced as a
part of a larger bitmapped image. When set to a specific number,
the printer checks after a form has printed and passed the validator
and determines if it has received an analysis report for each bar
code. If the printer does not have as many reports as it expects, it
can assume a gross bar code failure.
When Auto is selected, the printer only expects as many bar code
analyses as bar codes printed using printer bar code commands
defined by the host software.
