Abstract
A new technology is provided for a portable bar code verification reader and is designed to create a video image of a bar code label in accordance to strict industry bar code verification standards. The barcode verification reader will effectively capture a bar code label and then send the resulting video image to a computer. The resulting bar code label quality may be displayed on the portable verification reader via one or more LED's, an embedded display monitor, or the like.
Claims18
A bar code verification device comprising:
- a. a sensor for moving relative to a surface of a bar code and for capturing a signal corresponding to the bar code, wherein the sensor is positioned within a floating head so as to maintain contact between the sensor and the surface of the bar code;
- and
- b. a processor for receiving the signal from the sensor, and for:
- i. determining the quality of the bar code associated with the captured signal, and
- ii. displaying an indicator associated with the quality of the bar code.
