Barscan Systems & Ribbons Pvt. Ltd. makes a mark with the launch of CITIZEN CLP-621 & 631 Barcode Label Printer. It has always been Citizen's tradition to produce unique and innovative label printers and the CLP 621 & 231 barcode label printer is no exception.

GS1 India offers do's and don'ts for error free barcode scanning. Unscannable barcodes break automation in the supply chain by necessitating manual intervention, which leads to great cost, errors and delays. But why does a barcode fail to scan? Out of the other reasons, the most important one is the failure to adhere with GS1 specifications and guidelines regarding generation and placement of GS1 BarCodes.

The common errors in barcoding are height reduction (truncation), which results in loss of omni-directional scannability; printing defects that brings bar width and modulation problems; placement issues regarding faulty barcode orientation and placement; and representation errors causing incorrect generation of 13-digit GTIN, mismatch between human readable and machine readable product codes (GTIN) and errors in check digit calculation.
