Bar Code Verification in a Handy Pen Style Design

Bar code reproduction accuracy is critical throughout the distribution supply chain, especially in an era of stringent compliance programs. Hand Held Products assures that you can produce, receive, and use bar codes that meet these tough requirements with Quick Check desktop bar code verifiers. The QC600 and QC800 verifiers analyze bar code quality against traditional quality parameters and ANSI/CEN/ISO bar code print quality guidelines. Each unit includes all standard symbologies and is manufactured and traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards developed by the UCC (Uniform Code Council) and AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers). Not all bar code verification applications require analysis of the same parameters, so Hand Held Products offers a variety of models to meet specific needs.

Features

For testing traditional and full ANSI/CEN/ISO parameters, Hand Held Products offers the full-feature QC600 Series. These models perform quick pass/fail tests or use more powerful measuring tools for highly detailed analysis. Test results are provided through a 4 line by 20 character LCD, light emitting diodes, and audible tones. The unit is also RS-232 compatible and works with a Windows®-based verification software package. The QC800 Series Bar Code Verifier offers the convenience of simple aim-and-shoot verification through the use of a QC3800V, a customized, IT3800 handheld linear imager. Quickly perform pass/fail testing of dimensional and format quality parameters like average bar deviation, wide-to-narrow ratios, encodation, and ANSI/CEN/ISO decodability. Full traditional and ANSI/CEN/ISO dimensional, reflectance, and format tests can also be performed using optional mouse and pen style wands. Quick Check verifiers are easy to use, yet packed with high performance features that utilize the most sophisticated test methods. Every model can be instantly programmed to test bar code specifications by simply scanning command codes, or by using the easy-to-follow programming menu that guides an operator through each step. To accommodate varying label densities, interchangeable mouse and pen wands allow a user to select the appropriate aperture; in mouse wands choose from 3, 5, 6, 10, and 20 mil sizes, and in pen wands choose from 5, 6, and 10 mil sizes. These wands can be used with the QC600 or QC800 Series verifiers to make any bar code verification process more flexible and efficient. If needed, a detailed hard copy printout can be produced from any of the Quick Check desktop models using an optional Quick Check printer. Results can also be sent to a PC via an RS-232 communication interface or the QCViewer software. Each verifier is powered by AA NiCad rechargeable batteries and an AC charger.
