According to some recent information passing through the computer industry press, it looks like handheld coding machine technology has just gotten much easier to use. Perhaps the most notable advances come in the form of additional degrees of accuracy. When an individual uses a hand-coder to scan a barcode or other industrial label, they won’t have to worry nearly as much about the possibility of something going awry. Dirt and other kinds of debris that would have normally made it difficult for these devices to read a given punch mark are
Error level codes have traditionally been extremely difficult to memorize. Since there’s too many for any single person to remember, technicians have normally had to carry a manual or a mobile app with them every time they used their handheld coding machine. Recent firmware updates have given these devices the ability to display errors in a form of human-readable text that makes them much simpler to work with. A single glance down at the display terminal on the device gives users all the information they need to know about what went wrong with a single barcode.
Nevertheless, they might not have to worry about that as much since the new firmware on these handheld coding machines can actually process some types of labels that they wouldn’t have in the past. Those that are written in fancier proportional typefaces or that include additional copyright information shouldn’t activate a system trap like they might have on older models. These shouldn’t have any issues with errant punch marks either.
