Barcode Data Verification Solution Target: Integrate powerful color and B/W printers to produce combined variable information documents in minimum cost and maximum speed, while verifying data integrity.

Barcode Data Verification Assuming that the data is composed of a color cover page followed by several B/W pages. Dear Mr. John Smith Congratulations for purchasing our newest fork lift

Barcode Data Verification Existing Problems: ØPrinting all pages in a color printer will be expensive. ØPrinting all pages in a B/W printer will not give proper result. ØPrinting parts of the job in color and parts in B/W may cause a mix when

BDV Solution Print only color pages in a color printer and place an identifying barcode on each page.

BDV Solution Place the printed color pages in the B/W printer (preferably in the interposer paper tray).

BDV Solution Inside the B/W printer there is a small and powerful barcode reader (sometimes 2 readers) which reads each page, and reports the readings to a PC with the BDV software on it.

BDV Solution The BDV software analyze the incoming data and make sure that the pages are coming out in the correct order, and that no page is missing or wrong.

BDV Solution In case the BDV software detects an error, it reports it to a log file, alerts the machine operator and stops the machine using the Stop Plug which simulates an “out of paper” situation for the printer causing a soft-stop

BDV Solution The BDV has 2 operation modes: ØDirect Read – checks that the pages are printed in the correct order. ØCompare to index file – checks that each page is correct by checking it against a given index file.

Additional Solutions LPT 2 USB Adapter for printing from a computers Parallel port (LPT) to a printer with only a USB port. Allows modern printers with no legacy port to work with applications that still require the legacy port, or old terminal computers.

Additional Solutions Fonts and Templates Creating PCL Fonts for laser printers (Scalable or Bitmapped). Creating technical fonts like OCR, Barcodes, etc…. Creating PCL macros and templates to use with Flash memory of the printer.
