Check an exact code and share a reviewed report

Keep leading zeroes, compare redacted and full reports, and save a local backup.

For operators

This lesson uses made-up values. BarcodeBench checks the text received, not the physical print quality, ownership or correctness of a shipment.

Read these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.

Check an exact code and share a reviewed report

  1. Start a barcode check

    Start a barcode check.

    Start a temporary session. Values stay on this device and are not sent for a remote lookup.

  2. Scan the complete supplier code

    Scan the complete supplier code.

    Scan every character, including leading zeroes. A match to a number format does not prove that a code uses GS1.

  3. Choose how to read the value

    Choose how to read the value.

    Move to the format choice before asking BarcodeBench to explain the value.

  4. Keep a supplier code as plain text

    Keep a supplier code as plain text.

    Choose the format that matches the data you are checking. BarcodeBench keeps the original value.

  5. Check the supplier code

    Check the supplier code.

    Read the original code exactly. Plain text does not undergo GS1 checks.

  6. Preview a report without the values

    Preview a report without the values.

    Preview the report. The default leaves out your barcode values and the details of where they came from.

  7. Download the redacted JSON report

    Download the redacted JSON report.

    Download the checked report without the exact values. Preview it before sharing.

  8. Download the PDF report

    Download the PDF report.

    Download a PDF of the report you previewed. This does not print a physical label.

  9. Choose to include the exact values

    Choose to include the exact values.

    Only include the exact values when the recipient should be allowed to see them. This is a separate choice.

  10. Review the full report

    Review the full report.

    The full report contains the exact values. Check this warning and the preview before sharing it.

  11. Download the full JSON report

    Download the full JSON report.

    Download the report with exact values only for a trusted recipient.

  12. Save the session on this device

    Save the session on this device.

    Save only on a device you control. A local session is not a shared production record.

  13. Download a session backup

    Download a session backup.

    Keep a backup to reopen your values later. When reopened, the values are checked again with the installed barcode rules.
