Page 1 of 8

o Deep Learning Based OCR for Fixed Industrial Scanners  Fully Released ­ Activated via Licenses
· Performance o Improvements to deployed job run consistency including Barcode tool timeout, decoding, and trigger timing consistency. o Level Trigger Enhancements o Triggered Image Buffering
· UX Improvements o Backup/Restore/Firmware Upgrade in Aurora
· Device Configuration 1D Parameter Barcode Setup
Known Issues
· Rarely, a barcode tool can sometimes fail on certain images if it follows a machine vision tool. o Resolution: Move barcode decode tool to run before the machine vision tool.
· When viewing a circle tool that failed in the HMI, it will sometimes cause the HMI to not refresh and will display a blank page. o Resolution: Use Aurora to inspect the details of a failing circle tool.
· When a user needs to change a device USB IP address, they must first disable the DHCP server option and then re-enable it again afterwards.
· When executing the ZETI command `Trigger with result', after using the `Deploy Job', the trigger command can sometimes fail. o Resolution: Add a 2 second delay or more after the `Deploy Job' command.
· When using ZETI, any command that has a job slot option, the job slot must be specified for this release.
· The ZETI command line `help' command is not complete. Please refer to ZETI documentation for comprehensive overview of the command set
· When in Edit mode in Aurora, setting the GPIO Hardware Trigger falling edge can cause the trigger to use the rising edge instead. o Resolution: Set the edge back to rising and then back to falling in the drop-down menu.
· If a device is added to Aurora by IP address, the Aurora Firmware Dual Update will not complete the Dual Update. o Resolution: Use HMI if Dual Update is required.

· Flaw detection tools have to click `Undo' twice to perform the undo operation. · When using Aurora for viewing a running barcode job, sometimes decode summary will fail
to get updated. o Resolution: Close the job being viewed and reopen the job again in view mode.
· Device will sometimes not be discoverable in Aurora when starting firmware update in HMI. Device will re-appear once the firmware update completes and reboots
· After updating the firmware, some jobs will not be able to be changed using the HMI. o Resolution: Run "User Settings" reset in HMI (must be admin)
· Rarely, the HMI may not appear through the display port unless the device is rebooted. · Autotune will sometimes fail at a range of ~200mm on 2D barcodes only, if illumination is off
o Resolution: Ensure adequate light is available, either with continuous light or enabling the LED lights on the device.
· When generating a backup, if done after setting the time zone, the backup may fail. o Resolution: Reboot device after time zone change if planning to backup.
· When setting the TCP Heartbeat string in Aurora, nonstandard ASCI characters may cause the heartbeat to not be sent. o Resolution: Ensure any heartbeat string the user defines uses standard ASCII characters only
· When reordering tools in Aurora that have dependencies on other tools, the reordered tool may not be able to be edited. o Resolution: Remove and re-add the tool back to the workflow.
· Certain special characters in a job name cause the job results image folder to not allow download from the device. o Resolution: Use only standard characters for job names
· In some cases, using large number of image banks cause slight delays in processing. · After upgrading the device firmware, USB options may be grayed out.
o Resolution: Perform User Setting Reset from HMI and update device settings after. · Firmware update will fail if memory consumption is already high.
o Resolution: Reboot the device and upgrade · Uninstalling the InstallShield does not always remove all registry entries.
o Resolution: regedit and manually delete Aurora folder under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zebra
