XReader High Speed DataGlyph Reader for Xerox

The XReader DataGlyph System is a powerful image analysis system that provides the functionality needed to ensure that text printed on a high-speed printer is correctly positioned on the correct print stock. It accomplishes this by locating and decoding two DataGlyphs on the printer output: one preprinted on the print stock and another that is printed along with the text. A DataGlyph is a pattern of forward and backward slashes representing zeros and ones. The specific pattern on the print stock identifies the form. The pattern printed along with the text holds information about the print job, including the type of text printed on the form. .

In this enlarged image of two corresponding DataGlyphs, the smaller one is preprinted on the print stock and the larger one is printed on the form along with the text.

Note: The real size of the smaller DataGlyph is ¼ inch on a side.

The XReader system acquires a sequence of images that, as a whole, contain both DataGlyphs. Then it locates both DataGlyphs in the image sequence, decodes them, and sends the decoded values to your software, which analyzes the values and returns a pass or fail message to the high-speed printer. If the printer receives a fail message or no message, it stops printing so the operator can correct the problem.

FSI Automation's Image DataGlyph Locating and Reading software and hardware is fully integrated within the printer control interface developed by Xerox Special Information Systems. and typically runs in background mode within the XSIS application after initial setup.  Screen shots of the two interfaces are shown below.
