Chapter 1 Unpacking The Printer
Bar Code Verification
The most important consideration when printing a bar code is to ensure the
bar code will be scanned properly. Incorporating a bar code quality procedure
in the printing process is the best way to ensure that bar codes are being
printed correctly. A properly implemented verification procedure will increase
overall bar code quality, reduce waste from misprinted bar codes, and
achieve high first time read rates, which is an increasingly important factor in
newer, more efficient systems, where manually entered data is not acceptable
as a back up function. Verification also minimizes the costs of returned
products due to poor reading or unaccountable bar codes.
RJS designs and manufactures the world’s most complete line of bar code
verification products, including their portable Inspector and Laser Inspector
models, On-Line Inspector and AutoScan II series. For more information on
