QUICK CHECK® 150 & 200 Series Bar Code Verifiers

Overview

Bar Code Verification in a Handy Pen Style Design
The QUICK CHECK® 150 and 200 series verifiers are compact, portable bar code verifiers that analyze bar code quality against traditional quality parameters and ANSI X3.182/CEN1635 bar code print quality guidelines.
All standard symbologies are included with each unit. These include:
U.P.C./EAN with/without addendums, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 128, Codabar, MSI, Code 16K

QC150 and QC200 series verifiers are available in a variety of models that meet every portable verification requirement. From the QC150 model, which provides traditional pass/fail test results, to the QC200 series which provides traditional and ANSI/CEN test results and comes with (or without) a choice of industry application standards. Each verifier is available with a 5, 6, or 10 mil test aperture and each is powered by an integrated rechargeable battery pack.

Regardless of which model you require, incorporating QUICK CHECK verifiers into your quality control program will assure the bar codes you use comply with industry standards. This translates to improved efficiency and cost savings for your business.

Easy To Use And Affordable
QC150 and QC200 series 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 specific bar code specifications by simply scanning command codes or by using the easy-to-follow menu driven program which guides an operator through each step. Each model boosts productivity and is so inexpensive that you can afford to provide one to every technician involved in the bar code production and verification process.

Immediate Test Results
Each of these verifiers is designed to display bar code quality test results in one quick glance. Results are displayed immediately and all the information needed for proper bar code evaluation is provided through an LCD and colored LEDs. To accommodate both right and left handed operators, the LCD image can be "flipped" for reading in either orientation.

For further detail, "scroll" and "select" buttons guide the user through an easy-to-follow menu to quickly display comprehensive test results. If needed, a detailed hard copy printout can be produced using optional QUICK CHECK® printers or results can be downloaded to a PC via an RS232 communication interface.
