The Quick Check PC600 Verifier is a professional,
quality control tool for verifying the readability and
standards compliance of printed bar codes. It
consists of a Windows-based software package, a
"mouse" wand or pen wand bar code optical sensing
device, and an interface that connects to the serial
port of an IBM

For printing, receiving, or using bar codes in manu­facturing or distribution applications, the Quick Check
PC600 Verifier provides quick and easy-to-view full
ISO/IEC test parameter analysis and traditional pass/
fail parameters. The QCPC600 is manufactured and
traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards
and Technology) standards developed by the
Uniform Code Council (UCC) and Automatic Identifi­cation Manufacturers (AIM).

Input is provided by either an interchangeable mouse
wand or pen wand that is compatible with Quick
Check 600 or 800 Series Desktop Verifiers. To
accommodate varying label densities, just select the
appropriate aper ture; in mouse wands choose from
3, 5, 6, 10, and 20 mil sizes; in pen wands choose
from 5, 6, and 10 mil sizes. Each unit decodes and
verifies the character format for Code 39, Interleaved
2 of 5, EAN/UPC, Codabar, Code 128, Telepen, and
UCC/EAN-128. The Quick Check PC600 Verifier
delivers information about the critical optical charac­teristics of bar codes including:

• All ISO/IEC bar code print quality parameters

• All traditional bar code print quality parameters

Other Features Include:

• Unrecognized symbols mode to evaluate the
hardest to read bar codes

• Fully functional reflectometer mode

• Display and printability of bar/space element
histogram with element width averages and
ranges

• Parsing of UCC/EAN-128 message with applica­tion identifiers described

Because the Quick Check PC600 Verifier operates
on your PC, it offers many advantages not available
from standalone units. Bar code quality infor mation is
displayed directly on your computer monitor and hard
copy output can be produced on any local or network
printer. Automatic ISO/IEC symbol grade calculation
provides instant bar code quality feedback. Easy-to­follow menus guide the user through the entire
verification process, providing more detailed results
such as scan reflectance profiles with highlighted
defect, decodability, and minimum edge contrast.
Once obtained, test results can even be shared with
other Windows applications or stored for later
retrieval. The Quick Check PC600 Verifier has all the
power and flexibility you need to ensure strict bar
code standards compliance.
