TG - Unified fix for image artifacts and “Camera resetting” errors in some LVS-95XX installations

Modified on Mon, 13 Oct at 1:31 PM

Purpose

This technical note intends to provide a single resolution path through the use of a downloadable utility program; it is ONLY for those users experiencing any of these issues.



Problem Explanation/Objective

Previous technical notes have documented two separate but related camera issues on a limited number of installations of the LVS-95XX-series barcode verifiers and accompanying software. The first is a “Camera resetting” error message that is accompanied by the camera image alternating between pure white and pure black without input from the user. The second is the presence of varying amounts of image “artifacts” or streaks being displayed in both the live video feed (when positioning the verifier) and the fixed, graded image, which can affect grading. 

While this fix was initially intended to resolve the image artifact issue, it has been shown generally to be equally effective for the “Camera resetting” error. 

NOTE: The PCI chipset on the PC can be a contributing factor, specifically if the Intel 300-series chipset is present, though this is not a universal cause.
