Barcode Verifiers; Used To Print High Quality Barcodes That Are 100% Compliant To Specifications

 

Barcode verifiers are used to print and use barcodes. It is important to verify barcode to ensure that any reader of the supply chain can successfully interpret the barcode with a low error rate. Barcode verifiers play an integral role in the management of data and information. Verifiers play a key role in quality improvement and data warehousing. They verify the type and number of items in stock, identify special tags, and assign a unique code to each item. The use of barcode verifiers has increased manifold due to the adoption of improved quality management practices. To cater to the increasing demands for these products, a variety of tools and formats are available in the market.

Barcode verifiers are of five types, such as laser scanners, image scanners, slot scanners, pen wands, and Charge-Couple Device (CCD) scanners. Barcode verifiers are used to measure the quality of a 2D, 1D, and Direct Part Mark (DPM) codes. Barcode scanners read the barcode and performs a series of tests to check the scan capability and quality of the barcode compared to industry standard and specifications. Recent barcode verifiers use a unique methodology to encode the data. This method is known as the symbology approach. This symbology approach enables these devices to read standard barcodes with ease and makes it possible to decode the encoded data into easy to understand values.

Barcodes and barcode verifiers are widely used in the consumer goods sector. The barcode printed on the consumer goods packaging provides vital info about the product. Barcodes help increase visibility of online products, facilitate faster and accurate billing, and others.
