How to initialize the
settings?
Initialization methods:
• Initialization by operating the menu in WebLink.
1. Click the Gear icon at the right of WebLink.
2. Click the
Restore Default Settings button.
*This performs an initialization processing as same as a serial command <Zrd>.
In cases where a software or hardware reset is not possible, it may be necessary to reset the code reader to factory settings
by connecting the unit’s
DEFAULT pin to either GROUND or VIN , depending on how the INPUT COMMON pin is connected.
Resetting the code reader in this manner is functionally equivalent to sending the <Zrdall> command.
Precautions for Correct Use
To perform a hardware reset in this manner, the pin sequencing described below must be executed within 60 seconds of
the reader application being started by either its power supply being turned on or the reader being reset via software.
Connecting incorrect pins can cause serious damage to the equipment.
INPUT COMMON Tied to GROUND (0V)
1.) Verify the location of Pin 3 (DEFAULT) and Pin 2 (VIN).
2.) Power on or reset the unit and wait approximately 20 seconds for the application to load.
3.) Once the default sequence has been initiated, it must be completed within three seconds.
a.) Connect Pin 3 (DEFAULT) to Pin 2 (VIN).
b.) Remove the connection.
c.) Connect Pin 3 (DEFAULT) to Pin 2 (VIN).
d.) Remove the connection.
e.) The unit will automatically restart using factory default settings.
INPUT COMMON Tied to VIN
1.) Verify the location of Pin 3 (DEFAULT) and Pin 7 (GROUND).
2.) Power on or reset the unit and wait approximately 20 seconds for the application to load.
3.) Once the default sequence has been initiated, it must be completed within three seconds.
a.) Connect Pin 3 (DEFAULT) to Pin 7 (GROUND).
b.) Remove the connection.
c.) Connect Pin 3 (DEFAULT) to Pin 7 (GROUND).
d.) Remove the connection.
e.) The unit will automatically restart using factory default settings.
How to save read
images?
The read images are possible to save with the following procedures.
• Save images on WebLink.
Click Save Current Image button at the right end on the Image Control Toolbar at the upper right on the image area to
save the read image to your PC. The file is download to a destination you set with a browser.
• Save images to the RAM drive.
Images read according to Read Cycle can be saved in the RAM drive on V440-F. Click Gear icon at the upper right -
Image Storage to open Image Save Options , and set the conditions to save images. Click the Advanced button to set
other parameters such as Save Image Until . Such saved images can be saved in a PC via FTP. Regarding the method to
save images via FTP, refer to “How to access a RAM drive from a PC?”. Regarding No. of images savable to the RAM
drive, refer to “How many sheets of images can be saved in the RAM drive?”. It is initialized when turning off the power
because of RAM drive.
• Save images to a FTP server.
Images read according to Read Cycle can be saved to an FTP server on the network. Click Gear icon at the upper right -
Image Storage to open Image Save Options , and set the conditions to save images. Select FTP for the Image Storage
Location . By setting the FTP address of the FTP server after that, images can be saved in it.
* Re-reading is not available by using the saved images.
How to check read
characters?
When checking character strings, turn on Matchcode at the left panel on WebLink.
Click Mode of Matchcode and register character strings you want to check to Match String Database .
Up to 10 strings are registrable to Match String Database .
What is the smallest size
of the readable 2D code? A 2D code with 2x2 pixels or more in the cell size on an image is readable.
This figure is a theoretical value. In practice, test it for the judgment.
What is the smallest size
of the readable barcode?
In ideal, a barcode with the size below is readable.
Barcode width: 1 pixel or more
Barcode height:16 pixels or more
These figures are theoretical values. In practice, test it for the judgment.
What is the method to
evaluate the reading
stability?
There are two methods.
• ISO print quality evaluation
The ISO print quality evaluation is a function to evaluate the read stability compatible for the ISO standards.
For example, use ISO 29158 to evaluate DataMatrix of DPM.
Enable Gear icon - Advanced - Symbol Quality - ISO/IEC 29158 Parameters , which add an evaluation results to the end
of a read character strings.
• Read Rate Mode
Operating the Setup Button or performing the Read Rate command makes the device to Rear Rate mode. The operation
display LED on the body becomes to indicate the Read Rate and the body is set to a state to output the rate via the serial
(RS-232C) communications or TCP communications.
What is the number of
the maximum readable
characters? V440-F can read up to the maximum numbers defined each code standard.
For example, although up to 7,089 characters can be input to QR code based on the standard, V440-F can read the code.

2 VIN
3 DEFAULT
7 GROUND
8 INPUT COMMON
