Annual service
All verifiers need servicing every year to ensure that they measure barcode quality
in accordance with the relevant ISO/IEC standards. This verifier conformance and
alignment service (VCAS) ensures that the verifier is internally dust-free, checks
that it is focused correctly, and adjusts the hardware to account for any change in
the brightness of the LEDs used to illuminate the barcodes.
This annual service is not the same as user calibration, as it looks at the output of
the LEDs and corrects for any variance in their evenness of illumination across the
whole field of view. Over time the LEDs will fade but they will not fade uniformly.
User calibration ensures that the verifier is measuring the darkest and brightest
reflectances correctly but it cannot correct for any variance in the illumination.
After your verifier has been serviced, we will return it you with the latest version
of the software on CD together with a new calibration sheet, and a new user guide
that will include the new certificate of ISO/IEC conformance. You will then need
to calibrate the verifier before you use it again. The latest software can always be
downloaded free of charge from our website, www.axicon.com.
