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.
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.
