Axicon 15500 Linear and 2D barcode verifier

The Axicon 15500 barcode verifier is designed to read both linear and twodimensional matrix barcodes simultaneously. All the symbols seen in its field of view are verified individually, and the user simply selects each barcode in turn to see the specific results.

The field of view – 95 mm by 70 mm – is the world’s largest for a handheld 2D barcode verifier. Linear and 2D barcodes are verified in accordance with the appropriate ISO/IEC standard, with linear barcodes being sampled ten times from top to bottom.

Data Matrix, GS1 DataMatrix, QR Code, GS1 QR Code, EAN, UPC, ITF-14, GS1 Databar and GS1-128 symbols can all be verified. The verifier is designed to be used in three different positions so that even barcodes on awkwardly shaped objects can be easily read. It is powered solely via its USB connection to a PC or laptop, and the software runs on any Microsoft supported version of Windows, from Windows 7 onwards.

The record of each verification includes the image of all the codes in the field of view, as well as the reports for each barcode. These verification files can be consecutively numbered or date and time stamped if required for traceability auditing processes. The verifier may be configured to comply with the FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11

General Information

Report generation

A report can be produced via the in-built report generator, and saved or printed. The report generator can create reports in .pdf, .html, .txt, .csv or other formats (Append facilities are available for any format which supports this). The report generator is customisable via scripts and templates so reports can be tailored to individual requirements.
