QuickCheck QC800 barcode verifiers

Ensure your  barcodes meet retailers' standards with these portable CEN/ANSI/ISO verifiers

Be sure your barcodes make the grade with your customers.

Quick Check 800 verifiers measure the ‘scannability’ of barcodes used in the retail supply chain and other applications.

They double up as desktop and portable units.

Quick Check 800 is two instruments in one: an easy-to-use Pass/Fail tester and a powerful measuring and analysis tool.

Both units support mouse and wand scanners. Choose the one with right aperture for the type of barcode, such as 6 mil for 100% EAN. Mouse scanners give you more consistent results, thanks to better control of illumination and scanning angle, but some users prefer to use a wand. Both provide full CEN/ANSI results including print contrast.

When you want to use your Quick Check as a portable, and to check barcodes on curved surfaces, you will appreciate the speed and convenience of a hand-held laser. But remember it only checks for decodability.

As well as checking barcode print quality you should also check that you have the right barcodes on your products. Quick Check 800 have a handy scan and display feature. You can download the look-up table from a PC database.

Quick Check 800 stores its results for you to archive in a computer file. You can attach one of the optional printers when you need hard copy.

The Quick Check PC600 is a professional quality control tool that provides everything you need to ensure strict compliance with barcode standards. Display all the key characteristics of your symbols on your PC in colour, and see how to improve them.
