In 1975 RJS developed the first bar code verifier. Since that time RJS has continued to be the forerunner in the bar code quality assurance arena. Other industry firsts include our 1977 analytical bar code verification system for assuring the quality of film masters; introduction and patent of our Auto-Optic for ANSI verification standards in 1994, and a wide range of patented and proprietary technologies in subsequent years. Among these are patents relating to on-line verification and hand held laser verifiers. In the years since its patent the Auto-Optic has become the standard for several large organizations, including the USPS. RJS is a division of Printronix, Inc. located in Irvine California.
