Embodiment Construction

[0020] Various embodiments relate to printer verifiers and systems and methods for verifying printed indicia. Print marks can be verified using position specific feedback or by automatic destruction after rejection. Various embodiments provide user-friendly location-specific feedback, which may be in the same language as the printer's current location or a language configured by the user (which may be the local language for the printer's current location). Various embodiments increase printing throughput speed and extend ribbon life. The different embodiments are especially helpful in non-English speaking countries. As used herein, the term "verify" and the like refer to: rejection is followed by use of position-specific feedback to mark the rejected print media and rejection is followed without first marking the rejected print media Use a cutting device to automatically destroy rejected print media. As used herein, the term "location" refers to a locality, such as a region...

Abstract

A printer-verifier is provided for printing and verifying a printed indicium. The printer-verifier includes imaging module for capturing image of printed indicium on print media, memory communicatively coupled to imaging module and configured to store print quality verification program, and processor communicatively coupled to memory. Processor is configured by print quality verification program to evaluate print quality of printed indicium, determine if print quality meets print quality standard, reject printed indicium on print media as rejected printed media when print quality does not meetprint quality standard, and one of output location-specific feedback about rejected printed media or send a command signal to cutting device to destroy rejected printed media. Location-specific feedback is in same language as language associated with printer-verifier. A printer and methods for verifying the printed indicium are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to printers, and more particularly to printer verifiers and systems and methods for verifying printed indicia. Background technique [0002] Traditional marking printers exist in a variety of forms. Such printers require a supply of print media on which to print indicia. Tags have data encoded within them. A marker is an optical representation of data. There are many types of markers for many applications. The indicia may be a one-dimensional barcode (eg Universal Product Code (UPC)) with dark lines (ie bars) and light lines (ie spaces) of different widths arranged along the scanning axis. The marker can be a two-dimensional matrix symbol (eg, Aztec code, data matrix, QR code, etc.) with light features, dark features, and (in some cases) a two-dimensional array of aligned features. Some tags can use color (such as Ultracode) to encode data. Data encoded into printed indicia such as a barcode may be scanned (ie read) ...
