BarProof builds quality into your process by taking it all the way upstream to your PDF files. BarProof automatically locates all barcodes on a label, carton or press sheet and grades each according to CEN/ANSI/ISO standards. Bar width reduction (BWR) and magnification measurements are also provided. BarProof verifies and decodes 1D and 2D barcodes including UPC, data matrix and QR. The BarProof module is available as an option with digital-page, ScanTVS.
BarProof is the only barcode decoder and verification tool for PDF files that provides grading, bar width reduction and magnification measurements, guaranteeing scannable barcodes at the checkout counter.
Bar width reduction
BWR is critical during the pre-press process in order to compensate for different packaging materials and ink spread during production. By verifying BWR values in PDF files upstream in the process, brand owners can be assured that barcodes will achieve expected quality levels.

Grading criteria
Decode – Checks if the scan line data can pass the reference decode algorithm.
Symbol contrast – Checks the difference between the minimum and maximum reflectance of the scan line.
Minimum reflectance – Checks that the minimum reflectance is less than half of the maximum reflectance.
Minimum edge contrast – Checks the smallest edge contrast found in the scan line.
Modulation – Checks the ratio of the minimum edge contrast to the symbol contrast.
Defects – Checks for reflectance non-uniformity along the scan line.
Decodability – Checks the accuracy of the barcode printing and image in relation to the appropriate symbology reference decode algorithm.
