QR codes supported

This fully integrated thermal barcode printer and validator could save businesses thousands of pounds in non-compliance fines, says Printronix.

Following the launch earlier this year of the industry’s first affordable, fully integrated thermal barcode printer and validator, the ODV-2D, its developer Printronix Auto ID has just released an update to enable the device to additionally validate QR codes as well as 1D and 2D barcodes.

“A number of sectors are relying more and more on 2D barcodes like QR codes, largely because of the increased data capacity they offer,” suggests Neil Baker, sales manager UK, Ireland & South Africa, Printronix Auto ID/TSC Auto ID Technology EMEA. “But with increasing regulatory requirements comes the need for higher label data and accuracy, so the logical solution was to develop a system that streamlined the validation and verification process without affecting productivity.

“Our scalable platform allows us to add new features and functions as customer needs and industry requirements evolve.”
