QUICK CHECK® 600 & 800 Series Bar Code Verifiers

Overview

Easy to Use, Space-Saving Verifiers Meet the Broadest Range of Bar Code Testing Requirements
Bar code reproduction accuracy is critical throughout the distribution supply chain, especially in an era of stringent compliance programs. PSC QUICK CHECK® desktop bar code verifiers assure that you produce, receive, and use bar codes that meet these tough requirements.
The QC600 and QC800 verifiers analyze bar code quality against traditional quality parameters and ANSI X3.182/CEN EN1635 bar code print quality guidelines. Each unit includes all standard symbologies and is manufactured and traceable to N.I.S.T. standards developed by the U.C.C. (Uniform Code Council) and AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers).

Choose the Verifier that Best Meets Your Verification Needs

Not all bar code verification applications require analysis of the same parameters, so PSC offers a variety of models to meet specific needs.

The QC600 Series tests traditional and full ANSI/CEN parameters. These models perform quick pass/fail tests or use more powerful measuring methods for a more detailed analysis.

Test results are provided through:

a 4 line by 20 character LCD, light emitting diodes and audible tones.

The unit is also RS232 compatible and works with Scanalyst(tm), a powerful Windows® based verification software package.

The QC800 Series Laser Bar Code Verifier offers the convenience of simple aim-and-shoot verification through the use of a handheld laser bar code reader.

Quickly perform pass/fail testing of dimensional and format quality parameters like:

average bar deviation, wide-to-narrow ratios, encodation, ANSI/CEN decodability and more.

By using optional mouse and pen style wands, the following tests can be performed:

Full traditional and ANSI/CEN dimensional, reflectance and format tests.

Command Code Programming
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 specific bar code specifications by simply scanning command codes or by using the easy-to-follow programming menu which guides an operator through each step.

Interchangeable Input Devices

To accomodate varying label densities, interchangeable mouse and pen wands are available with a user-selected aperture:

in mouse wands choose from: 3, 5, 6, 10, and 20 mil sizes

in pen wands choose from: 5, 6, and 10 mil sizes

These wands can be used with the 600 or 800 Series verifiers to make any bar code verification process more flexible and efficient.

Optional Printers and Download Features to Output Results
If needed, a detailed hard copy printout can be produced from any of the QUICK CHECK® desktop models using an optional QUICK CHECK® printer. Or, results can be downloaded to a PC via an RS232 communication interface.
And each verifier is powered by AA NiCad rechargeable batteries and an AC charger.
