Quality Control Tools
Without in-house resources to help you determine barcode quality and accuracy before a job is submitted to the Post Office™, your mailing operations are missing an essential element of control. BCC barcode quality products deliver unique performance and value to today’s barcode-dependent mailing workflows. All are designed and built to rigorously comply with USPS specifications, and all are endorsed by Bell and Howell as the ideal solutions for their respective tasks.
Mail Verifier Plus
No matter what barcodes appear on your mailings, waiting to confirm MERLIN compliance at the Post Office™ is too little, too late. The MVP pro-actively ensures your mailpieces will meet USPS® DMM® regulations and receive their appropriate discounts before your mailing ever leaves the shop. Designed by the developers of MERLIN, the MVP works like a Mailpiece Design Analyst in a box—using DMM standards to see how sample pieces will fare against MERLIN reflectance tests as well as print and readability requirements for Intelligent Mail®, POSTNET™ and PLANET® barcodes.
VisionSensor 2030
Quickly confirm POSTNET, PLANET and Intelligent Mail barcode readability with this quality control tool, which uses high-end digital imaging in a hand-held device to check for barcode accuracy with point-and-shoot ease. Barcode results are transmitted within seconds to a tethered PC or the unit’s own LED screen.
Optical Comparator
The Optical Comparator – from Bell and Howell BCC, LLC and Gage-Line Technology, Inc. – is an essential barcode tool and is easy to integrate into any mailing workflow. The handheld device is available for any USPS barcode type and uses a reticle magnified by a 6X comparator lens, illuminated with a battery-operated LED. Visually determining whether a barcode meets USPS requirements, or where it might be inaccurate, has never been so easy.
