Quick Check QCPC 600 barcode verification and analysis system

Verify your barcodes to ISO standards, store the results in PC files and print A4 reports

A professional quality control tool for printed barcodes, Quick Check PC600 provides everything you need to ensure readability and strict compliance with barcode standards.

The Quick Check® PC600 Verifier consists of a Windows®-based software package, an interchangeable “mouse” wand or pen wand barcode optical input device, and an interface that connects to the serial port of an IBM compatible desktop or laptop PC.

Full ISO 15426-1 compliance

The Quick Check PC600 Verifier provides quick and easy-to-view full FISO/IEC test parameter analysis and traditional pass/fail parameters. Input is provided by either an  mouse wand or pen wand. 

Advantages over standalone units

Because it operates on your PC, the Quick Check PC600 Verifier offers many advantages over standalone units:

• Barcode quality information is displayed directly on your computer monitor
• Hard copy output can be produced on any local or network printer on A4 pages
• Automatic ISO/IEC symbol grade calculation provides instant barcode quality feedback.

Functionality

The Quick Check PC600 Verifier has all the power and flexibility you need to ensure strict bar code standards compliance.The PC600 displays an analysis of all the CEN/ANSI test parameters on your PC screen. Easy-to-follow menus guide you through the entire verification process.
