Preflight and fix your barcodes now with Barcode CheckUp! -- From now on your can preflight and verify
barcodes versus predefined profiles, generate reports about the barcodes embedded in documents.
Barcode CheckUp Version 1 is the first software on the market that allows barcode verification on
your vector artwork files.
Wilrijk, Belgium (September 2, 2004) -- Graphic specialists agree, increasing quality and reducing
errors is key to running a successful graphic business these days. Making sure you have a perfect
barcode is part of this quality assurance task. And that is where Barcode CheckUp comes to your aid:
it introduces the concept of pre-flighting on barcodes.
Barcode CheckUp is specially designed to support the quality assurance tasks of barcodes.
The first task it handles is creating reports: you can generate a report for all incoming files
that contains information about the embedded barcodes, and the quality of those barcodes. These
reports can be saved for later reference.
The second task it handles is barcode overview: inside Adobe Illustrator, you will get a list of
barcodes, and the parameters of each of them. A single click will take you the barcode, and lets
you inspect each of the barcodes.
The third task it handles is fixing problems. You can select to fix the found problems automatically.
Or you can globally change parameters for all barcodes in job.
“We saw that our customers were ready for digital barcode preflighting,” says Barcode
CheckUp creator Frank Vyncke. “when we saw the evolution of film going away in favor of CTP,
and when we saw that barcode creation was moved from prepress to designers. Our customers also
requested a replacement for the reports generated by Ôbarcode verification scannersÕ. Barcode
CheckUp addresses all these needs in a simple and powerful verification tool”
Barcode Toolbox is an Adobe Illustrator plug-in that allows open a document, and get an instant
overview of all the barcodes in the document, verify them against profiles you define, fix problems,
and generate reports.
You can also specify the profile parameters, and you can setup your report settings, leading to a
one-click preflight process.
Barcode CheckUp is now available and supports Adobe Illustrator 10 and CS, on Macintosh OS.
A Windows version will be released later this year.
