Axicon is a British technology company that has been designing and developing barcode verifiers since the late 1980s. Axicon has developed verifiers intended for general use in artwork departments, print rooms or on the shop floor. Axicon was the first company to use LEDs (used to illuminate the barcode) with CCD-based sensors to receive the image before it is analyzed. Axicon has specialized in all aspects of barcode excellence for over 40 years, continually contributing to GS1 and other industry specifications. The name Axicon is synonymous with barcode quality.
Each Axicon verifier is designed to reduce the effect of ambient light on the accuracy of the readings, and will not damage the barcode being verified. The positions of the LEDs and the CCD-based sensor are fixed to make sure that the correct angle of illumination is used, and this is one reason why the verifiers produce consistent and repeatable accurate results.

The results of each verification are analyzed and displayed very clearly in the Axicon software and its reporting functionality. Detailed information is available from each scan for experienced users, and much simpler pass or fail options can be provided for those who only want to know if each symbol is good enough. The verifiers can provide results using the 4-0 scale defined by the ISO/IEC standards, but if you prefer to use the A-D, and F for fail scale used by the equivalent ANSI standard this is also possible.

All Axicon verifiers include a two-year factory warranty, carry case, 24/7 software access, calibration card, user guide and a certificate of ISO conformance. They use a single USB connection to any PC.
Axicon verifiers can easily be used in a portable manner by connecting to a laptop OR inexpensive tablet loaded with the Axicon software.
