Barcode Inspection
Barcode inspection has never been this easy and inexpensive
Did you know inspecting your labels to prevent retail chargebacks can pay for itself in a few months and requires no added templates, servers, equipment, or space? Today, dozens of retail suppliers are saving significant amounts of money inspecting labels before they leave their warehouse or distribution center.

Solution Stories
Chargebacks getting your down but don't know where to start?
Selecting the right printer with integrated barcode inspection systems for your application can give you confidence that every barcode label sent out is accurate and printed at the highest level of quality. Read our Beginner's Guide to Barcode Inspection to learn more.
Bad label interrupting workflow and affecting productivity?
Improve this situation by deploying barcode inspection printers to solve your problem. It enables you to print, validate, verify, overstrike and reprint labels in a single pass. Read the use case to learn more.
Combining Verification with Validation
The ODV-2D can verify and validate barcodes as they are printed. The data printed on the label is validated to match the data sent from the host (native commands only). The barcode image is verified to comply with the ISO standards.
Print, Verify, Encode RFID Labels All in A Single Pass
The upgraded T6000e with ODV-2D allows users to print and encode RFID labels and inspect and grade the quality of printed barcodes in a single pass. Now, one printer can now do the work of multiple devices to create a new level of productivity and cost savings. No longer are two separate machines needed to perform two completely different functions. This is a unique function not available on any other printer currently on the market.
Manage Your Entire Enterprise from a Single Location
Printronix AutoID Data Manager (part of the PrintNet Enterprise Suite) gives you the ability to dynamically record, archive and generate reports of scanned barcode data for every printer on your network. With the addition of our robust printer management tool, you can pull reports for your entire enterprise as well as monitor and configure printers from anywhere in the world. You can also designate events and be alerted to printer issues via email. PrintNet Enterprise is available at no charge.
Closed-Loop Application Design
Printronix’ integration of ODV into the printer not only enables the printer to backup and overstrike bad labels without operator intervention, but provides the application access to the data from the ODV, including grading reports as well as label images. Data from ODV can be passed back to the application in .csv or PXML format, enabling the label software to not only send labels to the printer, but can check each label to ensure that the correct data was printed and the label barcodes grades were acceptable. This data can be captured, merged with the print job information, and an image of the label can be captured as well and also archived with the ODV grading report for future reference.
Software partners such as TEKLYNK already use this application connection to provide a close-loop label quality process.
Industry Associations
RAIN RFID is a global alliance promoting the universal adoption of UHF RFID technology in a way similar to other wireless technology organizations including NFC Forum, WiFi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG. It is a wireless technology that connects billions of everyday items to the Internet of Things, enabling businesses and consumers to identify, locate, authenticate, and engage each item.
AIM is the global industry association that connects, standardizes and advances automatic identification technologies. It represents the interests of individuals and organizations that implement, sell, develop, and use AIDC technologies across all vertical markets. Its Technical Symbology Committee (TSC) created the AIDC standards that were submitted to ISO as the basis for the ISO standards we use today.
GS1 is a leading global organization dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards and solutions to improve the efficiency and visibility of supply and demand chains globally and across sectors. The GS1 system of standards is the most widely used supply chain standards system in the world.
