Abstract
A verifier and printer assembly are provided. The verifier and printer assembly include a verifier module and a printer. The verifier has a magnetic docking element and the printer includes a docking portion operable to dock the verifier module. The magnetic docking element and the docking portion interact with each other to removably couple the verifier module to the printer. A magnetic attachment system for the verifier module and methods for removably coupling the verifier module and the printer for verification of a printed machine-readable symbol are also provided.

A removably couplable printer and verifier assembly, the removably couplable printer and verifier assembly comprising:
- a printer comprising a printer-coupling;
- and
- a verifier comprising:
- a verifier module comprising a verifier-coupling configured to interface with the printer-coupling, the verifier-coupling and/or the printer-coupling comprising one or more electromagnets configured to removably couple the verifier module to the printer at least in part by magnetic force acting between the verifier-coupling and the printer-coupling.
A removably couplable verifier comprising:
- a verifier module comprising a verifier-coupling configured to interface with a printer-coupling of a printer, the verifier-coupling comprising one or more electromagnets configured to removably couple the verifier module to the printer at least in part by magnetic force acting between the verifier-coupling and the printer-coupling.
A printer assembly comprising:
- a printer comprising a printer-coupling;
- the printer-coupling configured to interface with a verifier-coupling of a verifier module, the printer-coupling comprising one or more electromagnets configured to removably couple the verifier module to the printer at least in part by magnetic force acting between the verifier-coupling and the printer-coupling.
